Poll Watching: Calls, Training, and Watching. On a rainy day, a couple of weeks ago, I went to Sharron Angle’s office in Reno, Nevada to help with the mail, but ended up spending the better portion of the day making phone calls to volunteers to invite them to a poll watching training that was setup for the following week at the Washoe County Republican Headquarters. I spoke with many people who are very concerned about Nevada having the highest ratings for unemployment, foreclosures, and bankruptcies. It was worth every minute that I spent on the phone that day because the...

The Cost of Faking it Published on May 25, 2010 There's a saying that clothes don't make the man, but a lot of times the clothes we wear (accessories and tattoos included) do actually say something about who we are. (If you're famous, it may even happen that the clothes you don't wear say something about who you are). Besides signaling to others, clothes obviously also have an effect on how we feel about ourselves, and as a recent study shows, this sense of self that we derive from certain clothing produces measurable behavior changes. In particular, the study which...

Malcolm A. Kline Currently, the FBI director is scratching his head trying to figure out how many agents cheated on their agency exams. All of us might ponder where this drive to take what was once deemed an unacceptable shortcut comes from. “Eighty percent of high school students admit to cheating,” Caroline Crocker of the American Institute for Technology and Science Education said at a Capitol Hill press conference on July 28, 2010. Another study found that “70 percent of students at Duke cheated,” Dr. Crocker said at the news briefing, which was sponsored by the Traditional Values Coalition. A...

We have all found ourselves riding around town looking for a place to park our car, just to find them all taken. So we decide to drive around the block a few times in the hopes that someone will leave and we can grab the spot. Then just about the time we are ready to give up the hunt, we spot a person getting into their car. Finally we have a sense of relief knowing that we will soon have a choice spot to park our car. Well in this video you will be presented with two men in...

From CNN Radio Studios in Houston, TX. Damon, James and special guest Natalie Arceneaux discuss the newest information about the alleged affair between Barack Obama and former staffer Vera Baker.

President Obama has been caught in a shocking cheating scandal after being caught in a Washington, DC Hotel with a former campaign aide, sources say. And now, a hush-hush security video that shows everything could topple both Obama's presidency and marriage to Michelle! A confidential investigation has learned that Obama first became close to gorgeous 35 year-old VERA BAKER in 2004 when she worked tirelessly to get him elected to the US Senate, raising millions in campaign contributions. While Baker has insisted in the past that "nothing happened" between them, the ENQUIRER has learned that top anti-Obama operatives are offering...

According to a Sports Illustrated poll, almost a quarter of top PGA Tour golfers think that Woods has taken drugs. Twelve months ago he was both feared and revered. Now he is viewed by many of his peers as a cheat on and off the course.

China was stripped of a team all-around bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics on Wednesday because it fielded an underage gymnast. Dong Fangxiao was discovered to be 14 at the time of those Games, two years younger than the minimum age requirement. The medal will be given to the United States team which finished fourth in Sydney. The IOC has asked for China to return the medals "as soon as possible" so they can be reallocated to the U.S. team. The action comes 20 months after China was accused of doctoring the ages of at least two of its...

China Loses Gymnastics Bronze Medal 2000 Team Bronze Goes To USA STEPHEN WILSON, AP Sports Writer DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- China was stripped of a bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics on Wednesday for fielding an underage female gymnast, with the women's team medal now going to the United States. The International Olympic Committee acted after investigations by the sport's governing body determined that Dong Fangxiao was only 14 at the 2000 Games. Gymnasts must turn 16 during the Olympic year to be eligible. Dong's results from Sydney were nullified in February by the International Gymnastics Federation. Because...

Cheating Hurts China's Research Efforts April 12, 2010 When professors in China need to author research papers to get promoted, many turn to people like Lu Keqian. Working on his laptop in a cramped spare bedroom, the former schoolteacher ghostwrites for professors, students, government offices--anyone willing to pay his fee, typically about 300 yuan ($45). ... Dan Ben-Canaan is familiar with plagiarism. The Israeli professor has been teaching for nine years at Heilongjiang Univ. in the northeastern city of Harbin. A colleague approached him in 2008 for a paper he wrote about the kidnapping and murder of a Jewish musician...

Tiki Barber is a certified scumbag. He recently dumped his seven-months-pregnant wife for a 23-year-old hot young blonde. Clearly, this was love. Or perhaps Tiki was hoping to blame Ronde (rumor has it he loves "The Prestige"). In any case, Tiki apparently found the one young blonde chick with whom Tiger Woods didn't have sex, then had sex with her. To read more, click here.

Take any two sets of numbers, where the only restriction is that a reasonable chunk inside each set has to be different than one another. That is, we don’t want all the numbers inside a set to be equal to one another. We also want the sets to be, more or less, different, though it’s fine to have some matches. Make sure there is a least a dozen or two numbers in each set: for ease, each set should be the same size. You could collect numbers like this in under two minutes. Just note the calories in an “Serving...

Brian Maloney captured MSNBC's ED Schultz making a startling remark on his radio show yesterday about supporting voter fraud in Massachusetts, so Scott Brown would lose. The audio is below along with the transcript.

The Canadian doctor who performed a controversial medical procedure on Tiger Woods is under criminal investigation for drug violations on both sides of the border, bringing scrutiny to his colleagues, including one who worked closely with BALCO athletes and Yankee superstar Alex Rodriguez. Dr. Tony Galea was arrested in October and his Toronto clinic was raided by Canadian authorities after his assistant was detained at the U.S.-Canadian border and reportedly found to be in possession of illegal drugs, including human growth hormone (hGH) and Actovegin - a drug extracted from calf's blood that has been banned by the World Anti-Doping...

Cheating scenario, 1989: There were errant signs. Like the times you phoned the office and it rang and rang ("I was in the conference room," he said), like the matchbooks from places with names like the Candlelight Inn, where you'd never been. There were always plausible explanations. Work lunches! Work trips! Work lipstick! You wondered if you were crazy. There was so much wondering. Months, maybe years of uncertainty. Cheating scenario, 2009: I found your text messages, Jerk boy. Pack your bags. There are so many questions about Tiger Woods's reported affairs. (A cocktail waitress? Really? Have you seen his...

<p>Ashley Dupre is teed off at all those Tiger Woods mistresses coming out of the woodwork.</p> <p>First of all, these gals are taking money and gifts while seeing a high-powered celeb, the infamous escort griped yesterday to The Post. Then, they're blabbing all about it in exchange for money.</p>

As our civilization rattles and gasps its way towards the apocalypse, we look for signs, omens, anything to give us hope. But one by one, the ugly truths are revealed: There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch No, you haven’t already won a million dollars from Publisher’s Clearinghouse etc. When the Tiger Woods story broke the other night, I admit it was shocking, but I was perfectly willing to ignore it. Denial? Perhaps, but couples have fights from time to time and just because this event happened at 2:30 in the morning and involved Tiger apparently making a...
