Nancy Pelosi was an inspiration when she showed the tens of millions of Americans forced into unemployment by the lockdown how they can console themselves amid the wreckage of the lives by eating extravagantly expensive ice cream stored in an extravagantly expensive refrigerator. Now she further showcases her leadership skills by demonstrating how not to behave during the sort of pandemic that allegedly justifies the lockdown. Specifically, she illustrates that you should not smear snot on your fingers, then wipe it off on a podium that others will be using:

WHITSETT, N.C. — The Guilford County Sheriff’s office said they found nearly 18,000 pounds of commercial bathroom paper products in a stolen 53-foot Hyundai dry-van trailer on Wednesday. Sheriff Danny Rodgers said their Specialized Enforcement Unit initiated an investigation on the driver of a tractor-trailer who was traveling on Interstate 40 in Whitsett, North Carolina. Rodgers said the driver was in violation of NC Motor Vehicle law, so deputies followed the vehicle to a warehouse/dock facility a short distance off the interstate. Deputies encountered the driver and determined the tractor-trailer was stolen from a local facility and was being used...

In what may be the most ironic tweets in history, Hillary Clinton has told Donald J. Trump to delete his account after the presumptive GOP nominee sounded off on President Obama's official 2016 endorsement. Delete your account. https://t.co/Oa92sncRQY — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 9, 2016 Given the fact that the former secretary of state used an unsecure private server to handle classified national security intel and then "wipe" it clean, deleting thousands of emails in the process, the lack of awareness here is astounding.

This shows how pitifully small the GOP's cuts in the $1.5 trillion deficit are. The Hill: U.S. military operations in Libya could wipe out a significant chunk of the budget cuts won by congressional Republicans in recent weeks, defense analysts say. GOP leaders have trumpeted enacted spending reductions that amount to more than $285 million per day since the beginning of March. But defense analysts say the Pentagon could be burning through more than $100 million per day in Libya, putting those budget savings at risk. In separate briefings on Monday, the Defense Department and the White House said they...

Editor's note: The key moment comes at the :14 second mark.

"The Arab states are not seeking to wipe Israel off the map," Lebanese Prime Minister Faud Saniora claimed in a New York Times editorial on Friday morning. "Rather," he continued, "we are seeking the legitimate goals of an armistice, secure borders and the ability of all of the region's people to live in peace and security." Saniora went on to say that the Winograd Committee's interim report on the Second Lebanon War failed to draw the most essential lesson that "military action does not give the people of Israel security," adding that compromise and diplomacy were the answer to instability....

Two more rings discovered around Uranus First additions to planet's ring system in nearly 20 years Updated: 2:03 p.m. ET Dec. 22, 2005 Astronomers aided by the Hubble Space Telescope have spied two more rings encircling Uranus, the first additions to the planet’s ring system in nearly two decades. The faint, dusty rings orbit outside of Uranus’ previously known rings, but within the orbits of its large moons, said Mark Showalter, an astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif., who made the discovery. Details will appear on the journal Science's Web site, in advance of print publication. The...

The loo. The can. The throne. No one used to discuss how much they spent on their toilet. It wasn’t so much a part of the design, as a functional element of necessity that was a taboo topic. You can flush that old fashioned concept. Today, homeowners are spending thousands of dollars on fancy thrones fit for a king.

US firms in £150m deal to wipe away Saddam cult By David Rennie in Washington (Filed: 16/04/2003) The United States has recruited a number of American consultancy firms to help to purge Iraqi society of decades of political terror and indoctrination, officials said yesterday.

Air ionisers wipe out hospital infections 18:02 03 January 03 NewScientist.com news service Repeated airborne infections of the bacteria acinetobacter in an intensive care ward have been eliminated by the installation of a negative air ioniser. In the first such epidemiological study, researchers found that the infection rate fell to zero during the year long trial. "We were absolutely astounded to find such clear cut results," engineer Clive Begg at the University of Leeds, UK, told New Scientist. Stephen Dean, a consultant at the St James's Hospital in Leeds where the trial took place says: "The results have been fantastic...
