Girly Pink Ouija Board Causes Controversy : Extraordinary Intelligence: "Now, while some may consider this to be a harmless sleepover game, others find the trend in “normalizing” the Ouija Board quite disturbing. And there has been quite an uproar regarding this latest addition to the Ouija line. Many people feel that the board is a dangerous tool, and if used casually, can open gates or portals that would allow all kinds of nasty nasties into one’s life.
Toy expert and consultant Chris Byrne recently said of the pink Ouija, “… if something doesn’t fit your value or belief system, you don’t have to buy it….I think people are projecting their belief system on it.”"

So clearly she has committed an ethics violation but blames the process. Sorry Rep. Waters but you broke the rules and you are not above them. Let your husband wait for a response from the Treasury Department like everyone else.
She doesn't understand that intervening on behalf of her husband is the violation.

HAARP? 'Blocked' jetstream to blame for freak weather in Russia and Pakistan | Mail Online
'Blocked' jetstream to blame for freak weather in Russia and Pakistan | Mail Online: "The jetstream is being held by the Rossby waves that normally produce its distinctive wave-like pattern.
These powerful spinning wind currents are caused by the Earth’s shape and rotation and push the jet stream from east to west at high altitudes.
Now scientists believe that Rossby waves are acting against the jetstream’s usual pattern, holding it in place, according to a report in New Scientist.
Since mid-July, when it would normally be moving eastwards the jetstream has been held in one place as strong Rossby waves push against it.
When the jet stream is held in one place it traps the weather systems that are caught between its meanders. Warm air is sucked north to the ‘peaks’ while cold air travels to the ‘troughs’.
Professor Mike Blackburn of the University of Reading believes that a blocked jetstream could be behind a heatwave in Japan which killed 60 and the sudden end to warm weather in the UK."

My Way News - Watchdog panel cites global impact of US bailout: "The $700 billion U.S. bailout program launched in response to the global economic meltdown had a far greater impact overseas than other countries' financial rescue plans did on the U.S., according to a new report from a congressional watchdog.
Billions of dollars in U.S. rescue funds wound up in big banks in France, Germany and other nations. That was probably inevitable because of the structure of the Treasury Department's program, the Congressional Oversight Panel says in a new report issued Thursday."

Greg Gutfeld | Gutfeld Gay Bar | Ground Zero Mosque | Mediaite: "No, this is not a joke. In fact, it is instead one of the most brilliant pieces of provocations in recent years. Greg Gutfeld from Fox News’ Red Eye announced today via his blog that he is actively speaking to investors and plans on opening a gay bar next to the controversial mosque being built near Ground Zero in New York. To make matters worse (better?) the bar will be specifically designed to cater to homosexuals of the Islamic faith. God, this is going to be an exciting block."
Targeting Iran: Is the US Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust?
Targeting Iran: Is the US Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust?: "Realities are turned upside down. In a twisted logic, a 'humanitarian war' using tactical nuclear weapons, which according to 'expert scientific opinion' are 'harmless to the surrounding civilian population' is upheld as a means to protecting Israel and the Western World from a nuclear attack.
America's mini-nukes with an explosive capacity of up to six times a Hiroshima bomb are upheld by authoritative scientific opinion as a humanitarian bomb, whereas Iran's nonexistent nuclear weapons are branded as an indisputable threat to global security."

The Dark Side of Vitamin Water | The Vigilant Citizen
The Dark Side of Vitamin Water | The Vigilant Citizen: "Now here’s something you wouldn’t expect. Coca-Cola is being sued by a non-profit public interest group, on the grounds that the company’s vitaminwater products make unwarranted health claims. No surprise there. But how do you think the company is defending itself?
In a staggering feat of twisted logic, lawyers for Coca-Cola are defending the lawsuit by asserting that “no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage.”
Does this mean that you’d have to be an unreasonable person to think that a product named “vitaminwater,” a product that has been heavily and aggressively marketed as a healthy beverage, actually had health benefits?
Or does it mean that it’s okay for a corporation to lie about its products, as long as they can then turn around and claim that no one actually believes their lies?
In fact, the product is basically sugar-water, to which about a penny’s worth of synthetic vitamins have been added. And the amount of sugar is not trivial. A bottle of vitaminwater contains 33 grams of sugar, making it more akin to a soft drink than to a healthy beverage."

- Giants, Angels, and the Sons of God by Tom Lamb, the Radical Pilgrim www.kingjamesman.com: "To prove that spiritual beings and humans can physically engage sexually, and interbreed and produce physical offspring, you have to scripturally prove that the ’sons of God’ are, or were indeed angelic beings. Right!? Following is indisputable proof men were called the sons of God in the Old Testament, never angels.

“Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.”"

MinnPost - D.C. Dispatches: Franken: Net neutrality the 'most important First Amendment issue of our time': "Net neutrality' sounds arcane, but it's fundamental to free speech. The internet today is an open marketplace. If you have a product, you can sell it. If you have an opinion, you can blog about it. If you have an idea, you can share it with the world.
And no matter who you are— a corporation selling a new widget, a senator making a political argument or just a Minnesotan sharing a funny cat video — you have equal access to that marketplace.
An e-mail from your mom comes in just as fast as a bill notification from your bank. You're reading this op-ed online; it'll load just as fast as a blog post criticizing it. That's what we mean by net neutrality."

Sen. Stabenow introduces 99er, Tier 5 legislation: Americans Want to Work Act. Who will it help?
Sen. Stabenow introduces 99er, Tier 5 legislation: Americans Want to Work Act. Who will it help?: "What it Does: Provides 20 weeks of additional unemployment insurance for states with 7.5% or higher unemployment. This tier will benefit the people who have exhausted all of their benefits.
Retroactive Eligibility: Would apply retroactively to everyone who has exhausted all of their previous tiers in recent months. However, benefits would not be paid retroactively. (Example – If you exhausted your benefits 3 months ago, you would be eligible to begin your Tier 5 at the date of enactment. You would not, however, be paid out for the 3 months in which you did not receive benefits. If you are going to exhaust your benefits in 2 weeks, you will move right onto Tier 5 and receive your 20 weeks).
Requirements: People who are unemployed still need to meet current UI law requirements such as job searches."

TV IS A PSYCHO-SOCIAL WEAPON | Sovereign Independent
TV IS A PSYCHO-SOCIAL WEAPON | Sovereign Independent: "People spend a lot of their spare time in front of the television. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to state that TV is a major source of many people’s opinions and views on pretty much everything. Given the amount of time people spend watching television it makes perfect sense that if you want to shape public opinion the TV is the medium par excellence by which to disseminate your information. It stands to reason then that if you agree that a movement exists, and I think a lot of people of do, whose aim is to re-make the world in man’s image, albeit a skewed and perverse one, then it makes sense for such an organisation to consolidate control of the TV airwaves and turn it into a propaganda video-drome."
Churchgoers, strippers protest one another in Coshocton County | The Columbus Dispatch
Churchgoers, strippers protest one another in Coshocton County | The Columbus Dispatch: "Strip-club owner Tommy George rolled up to the church in his grabber-orange Dodge Challenger, drinking a Mountain Dew at 9 in the morning and smoking a cigarette he had just rolled himself.
Pastor Bill Dunfee stepped out of a tan Nissan Murano, clutching a Bible in one hand and his sermon in the other, a touch of spray holding his perfectly coiffed 'do in place.
Inside the New Beginnings Ministries church, Dunfee's worshippers wore polyester and pearls.
Outside, George's strippers wore bikinis and belly rings.
Both men agree it is classic sinners vs. saints. But George says it is up to America to decide which is which and who is who."
