Locust
Early white settlers on the high plains of the western U.S. were always
bummed out when colossal swarms of locusts dropped by for lunch. The sky
would darken, and the land would be filled with the roaring buzz of
millions of fluttering wings. Within an hour or so, everything was covered
with them, including the settlers, who frantically tried to brush off the
hundreds of hungry insects that were chewing apart their clothing.
They were Rocky Mountain locusts, a North American species that lived west
of the Mississippi — and the stars of Jeffrey Lockwood’s book, *Locust*. When

Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazak Eli
According to the BBC News website's *News from Elsewhere *section,
The president of Kazakhstan has apparently suggested changing the country's
name, saying the "stan" at the end puts off tourists and discourages
investors.
Now, personally, I can't for the life of me think why any self-respecting
president of Kazakhstan *wouldn't* want to have his country's name
associated with, say, Pakistan or Afghanistan. The suffix '-stan' surely
brings nothing but happy connotations with it. If the EU changed its name
to 'Europistan', *everyone* would want to stay inside it. (What's that,

US tests B61 Atomic Bomb- fire later that night at labs
About two hours after I published the Transpicuous News for Feb 6, I
received an email from a reader in Los Alamos, Stating that on Feb 5th
"there was a fire Wednesday night at the site where they bury the lab's
radio-active wastes (alarming enough in itself-but they own the town--which
is full of cancer patients). "
I sent that information through a few channels that I have to check things
and sure enough I last night I received verification of these events.

Legislating Apathy
Yesterday, the Harper Party moved to limit debate on its so called Fair
Elections Act. Three days, they said, is all it should take to debate the

“A big part of this bill is about voter suppression,” NDP deputy leader
David Christopherson told The Huffington Post Canada.

Don’t Make These 10 Easily Avoidable Mistakes That Can Get You Fired

Do you have this uncomforable feeling that your financial situation has been declining since 2008? We know that those on Wall Street who caused the financial crash are thriving while those on mainstreet are struggling. If you buy a home for $100,000 it will likely have cost $250,000 once your loan is paid off. So taxpayers are paying more to those that financed the project than to those that built it. Are you alright with that? Well, there is an answer: Public Banks.
