GOP Candidate Sentenced for Felony Fraud After Changing Party
Affiliation of 300 Democratic Voters, Casting Absentee Ballots in Their
Name
With these 300 fraudulent votes created by one Republican
candidate alone, that's 300 more fraudulent votes than have ever been
created by ACORN or anybody who has ever worked for them.
But, of course, you're unlikely to hear that, or even this story itself,
from the tenacious Fox "News" "voter fraud special investigative unit"
or the GOP clowns who help them disinform American voters.

The price of moral-vanity: A catalogue of Green economic disaster unfolds across Europe
The real cost of moral-vanity, of name-calling, poor reasoning,
selecting one’s evidence, and the triumph of doing things because they
“feel-good” rather than because of the cold hard numbers, is measured in
the trillions. This disaster was entirely foreseeable, totally
predictable, and completely unnecessary. Thanks to Benny Peiser and The
Australian, the utter folly is laid bare. AS country aft
US and Iran Cautious about Direct Talks
Iran’s president may have changed, but the leadership’s reticence about
talking one-on-one with the United States continues – along with U.S.
reluctance to recognize Iran’s quasi-representative government as
legitimate.

14-Year Old Activist DESTROYS TV Host on Monsanto, GMO Labeling
This 14-year old Canadian girl, Rachel Parent, is tremendous.
Watch her clean the clock of the TV host who bad-mouthed opponents of
Monsanto and their GMOs and those who support the "Right to Know"
campaign to require genetically modified foods to be labelled as such.
She's just fantastic. My favorite part (and there were many), was when
the jackass host accuses her of being a "shill" for "extremi

Just because you saw it on Facebook doesn't make it true
I love almost everything about Facebook, from the
photo-sharing and the cute-animal videos to the free emoticons you can
use in your chats. But God help us if Facebook ends up being a news
source for people in a post-newspaper world. The potential power of a
medium like Facebook can’t be overstated in this viral age. Anything I
write on my page can be shared in a heartbeat by any of my 1,5
Five minutes of research could have spared us this uninformed prattle on InSite
It almost felt good to experience the righteous rage rising in
me this morning when I read that uninformed column by Licia Corbella in
the Calgary Herald trying to draw a link between the overdose death of
actor Cory Monteith and Vancouver's supervised injection site. I'd
forgotten how much I love to hate lazy, ignorant commentary, so
deliciously wide open to being torn apart by anyone with the
A hot day for democracy
The Honduran Congreso Nacional came to town yesterday, part of
a mobile-meeting plan for the legislative branch of government that
gets the politicians out of the capital once in a while to hear from
"the people." Apparently President Porfirio Lobo was here, too, but all I
know of that is I heard a helicopter coming in for a landing around 2
p.m., such a rare event in Copan Ruinas that it had
The Sound of Sangre: Let's help these guys tell a good story
If you like documentary film, folk music of a very original
kind, or Latin America, this project to find a mysterious Honduran band
that plays narcocorrido music is worth checking out. The two U.S. men
spearheading the project, Chris Valdes and Ted Griswold, taught in the
Olancho region of Honduras and kept hearing talk of Los Plebes de

Foo Fighters and the USS New York
Well, it’s happened again. Got an email about a Foo Fighter
sighting at the end of World War II which was radar confirmed. The ship,
the USS New York apparently fired on the object without results which
meant that they neither hit it nor drove it away. This all happened in
the middle of March, 1945, sometime after the invasion of Iwo Jima and
before the invasion of Okinawa.USS New York in 1945.Acc

Well, the great Aztec debate is over and the winner is… Yeah,

Mogul and NOTAMs
I’ve grown tired of this NOTAM game but have to wonder why the
skeptics just don’t attempt to answer the question themselves… and why
do they demand that I answer their questions when they continue to
ignore mine? What is this double standard where all things skeptical are
accepted without critical thought but anything that might suggest an
answer they don’t like is attacked?And remember what She
Roswell Festival 2013
The 2013 Roswell Festival celebrating the 66th anniversary of the
UFO crash has come and gone (and I will note here that to appease the
skeptics, I probably should have said alleged UFO crash). Held, as

International UFO Museum and Research Center, there was a full slate of

Early August 2013
We've headed into August here much hotter than many of our
friends back east -- yesterday, for example, we reached 96.2F. Watering
has occupied much of my attention, as has hiding -- we have a room on
the north end of the house where we can go if the rest of the place
reaches 85. So there has been correspondingly little harvesting or
processing.Green beans are doing well. We'll eat some raw, but
Use everything
I use medium to large tomatoes in canning projects, especially
mild salsas. I know to keep the peelings out, but don't like the step
where you scald or whatever and slip them off. I want those! So what I
do, peel them as I would a potato, salt the peelings down, add a little
vinegar and haul them out to the solar dryer. That's my dehydrated
tomatoes.The naked innards then go into the crockpot with
In high summer
We think of late July as high summer. It's a bit more droughty
this year than even last year, as we did expect, and we are having to
pay a great deal of attention to the mulch and water.The potatoes should
be lifted soon, as they have attracted the attention of gophers.
Tomatoes and beans have set fruit but are not ready to pick. The corn is
tasseling out and the pumpkins are greenly growing on th

Towering economic separation erodes the effectiveness of public opinion activism
By Denis Rancourt
A good street demonstration is not what it use to be, in terms of its
impact. Likewise, petitions and letters to politicians just don't cut it
any more. A YouTube video can, in rare cases, get a cop investigated
and put on paid leave, but that is a about as far as it goes. Don't
think about systemic changes.
There is tremendous opinion opposition to injustices of all kinds

America's Imaginary Lavish Social Welfare Safety Net That Exists Only in GOP's Mind
By MARC McDONALDAmerica has never been big on social welfare

(during LBJ's "Great Society" years), America had a skimpy social safety
net, compared to other industrialized nations.Beginning in the 1980s,
Ronald Reagan began gutting America's social safety net. And then, Bill
