    First we are not talking about the cute little tikes in their darling costumes, with Mommy or Daddy in tow. I am talking about the older kids that don’t show up at your door until 9 o’clock or later. The ones that are either too lazy to wear a costume and just want free candy (young Democrats), or they dress up as a zombie (again young Democrats), or dress in sexy tart costumes which makes you wonder what kind of parent lets their 15 year old daughter old go out on the street like that? (OK, I know, I know,...

    Washington Post ^ | 10-17-11 | Elizabeth Flock
    Horrific footage captured on CCTV in Foshan, Guangdong province Thursday afternoon and now making the rounds on the Chinese version of Twitter, Weibo, shows a two-year-old toddler being run over by a van as she walks across the street. In the minutes that follow, dozens of passersby walk around the bleeding girl, not stopping to look at or help her. A cyclist takes a wide berth around the body to avoid the body. One woman, holding her daughter’s hand, looks at the toddler and walks past as quickly as she can. And a second truck, apparently not realizing there is...

  • Occupiers – “We Are Legion” - Where have we heard that before? (vanity)

    You see, the protestors have a message of rebellion against big government, big corporations and the rich in general. They’re being coordinated by straight up anarchists and socialists, and much of the messaging has been downright bizarre. WE ARE LEGION (ANONYMOUS) We’ll start with this strange video put out by the anarchist group Anonymous.
  • YES, Black Americans have been Brainwashed. (Vanity)

    I heard a black lady call into a Seattle Liberal Talk Radio show the other day and say "Republicans have always been racist, and that the only good one was Lincoln" . How terribly sad. But this is what blacks and whites have been taught in schools since the 1960s, and the lie they firmly believe.
  • Cain is Right - Blacks have been Brainwashed (VANITY)

    I am in the middle of a book I wish ALL African Americans would read, and white Americans too for that matter. Called; “Setting the record straight: American history in Black & White” by David Barton. If they were to read it, all but the most brainwashed would have to ask them selves , “how did Blacks ever align themselves with Democrats?” The Democrats were clearly the pro-slavery party in the 1800s, and following the Civil War fought against giving former slaves any civil rights and having blacks a part of the political process. The Democrats were the Klu Klux...

    RENTON, Wash. – Three girls who claimed they saw a masked gunman on their elementary school campus Friday are under scrutiny after police said they made the story up. The girls claimed they saw a masked man with a gun in a school bathroom around 1:15 p.m. at Carriage Crest Elementary. However, after a staggering police response, nothing was found. Investigators said it was all a hoax. The school was placed in lockdown for a search. More than 40 police vehicles were called to the school, and officers went room to room looking for the man.
  • Norman Goldman ask listeners to rig election (vanity)

    09/20/2011 4:45:11 PM PDT · by NavyCanDo · 12 replies
    Somebody from FOX or Glenn Beck needs to obtain a tape from today’s Norman Goldman radio show. He is asking his listeners to rig the election computers. That’s right, asking his listeners to commit voter fraud everyway possible – right on the airwaves. Would not believe it if I didn’t hear it for myself. Using the Airwaves to call for voter fraud has to be illegal.

  • Cyclops Bull Shark captured in the Sea of Cortez

    Reef Builders ^ | 6-28-11
    We cover a lot of hybrid fishes here on Reef Builders but the one eyed bull shark recently discovered in the Sea of Cortez really takes the cake. The cyclops shark was an unborn pup that was removed from a large female bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, captured off of Mexico in the Sea of Cortez. Even though the photo of the cyclops shark is totally real and confirmed by scientists who have seen the shark pup, there’s a natural tendency to dismiss the photo as an excellent photoshopping job. But it isn’t. Unfortunately the cyclops shark fetus was already dead...

    Day 18 Burn ICU 12:54pm We just got word from Addison's second surgeon that the operation went well. She did great. They put the synthetic graft on her face and neck and were able to use her own skin for the grafting on her right hand and both wrists. Dr. Klein said that he will plan for Addie's third and, Lord willing, final surgery on August 1st. They will then graft Addie's own skin on her face. Dr. Klein did say they will be using her scalp, so we will have a bald little girl for quite a while. Those...

  • Large rock avalanche on Mt. Rainier caught on camera

    07/01/2011 6:31:17 AM PDT · by NavyCanDo · 26 replies
    Mount Rainier has been a flurry of activity over the past few days as climbers have witnessed a few major rock avalanches along the Nisqually Glacier. According to the Mount Rainier Climbing Blog, there have been slides that have featured a "50' wall of snow, ice, water, dust, and rock coming down the glacier that would outrun anything in its path." The first avalanches were reported on Friday when rangers reported feeling the earth shake and hearing a loud rumble, according to the blog. Then on Saturday afternoon, two climbers up on Mt. Rainier had their cameras rolling when the...
  • Dennis Kucinich Running for Reelection In .... Washington State?

    Threatened by redistricting, anti-war gadfly Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) may return to the scene of his famed UFO encounter in search of re-election. The Seattle Times checked in with the congressman's office after he was observed spending an inordinate amount of time in Washington State -- where Kucinich once communed with an apparent alien at Shirley MacLaine's house, according to her memoir -- to find out whether he was scoping out a potential backup district. Kucinich's response certainly seemed to encourage the idea.

    SEATTLE -- Dozens of protestors marched on the streets on Friday, calling for justice in the fatal shooting of Native American woodcarver John T. Williams. The crowd gathered at Westlake Center, then soon took to the streets in protest of King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg's decision not to file criminal charges against Ian Birk, a former Seattle police officer. But what started out as a peaceful protests with signs and slogans quickly boiled over as protestors clashed with police, prompting some officers to use pepper spray on the crowd. Marchers smashed the back window of a police cruiser as tensions...

    What gives with the delay in the printing and distributing the 1040 Instruction Books, which includes the new Tax Tables? I heard they would be delayed - and the "lucky public" would have an extra few days in April, be I have heard nothing of the reason why.

    June 11, 2004 | John Carlson
    Reagan, For Those Under 40 June 11, 2004 By John Carlson (KVI Talk Radio host and Conservative commentator) This may sound shocking to anyone under 40, but 25 years ago, a lot of serious people were seriously wondering whether America’s best days were already past us. Time magazine ran a cover story asking “Where have all the Heroes Gone?” Inflation was 12%, Unemployment over 7% and both were rising simultaneously, giving birth to a new term, “stagflation”. Gasoline was just as expensive as it is today (accounting for inflation), except there wasn’t much to buy and long lines snaked around...
