*“Government as such is not only not an evil, but the most necessary and

How do Vegans get enough protein?

*2.5 grams of protein per serving* When people learn that we are vegan,
their first question is, "How do you get enough protein"? In reality, it is
one of the easiest nutritional requirements to fill. Almost all vegetables
contain some protein.
According to the Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine, National

Is South Carolina Ready To Elect A Woman To Congress… A Woman Named Tinubu-- Don't Answer Yet
Remember South Carolina crackpot Joe Wilson, the right-wing freak who

Union address in 2009 and was then formally admonished by the House? So
far, according to ProgressivePunch, he has the most extreme right wing
voting record of anyone from South Carolina for the 2013-'14 session. His
crucial vote score is a shocking 2.80 (out of 100). The next worst belongs
to freshman congressman for the new 7th CD, Tom Rice, 4.29.
Rice's voting record is an extremist's dream-- a 0.0 on every single

IRAN: THE CRISIS ISRAEL HAS WHEN THINGS DON’T WORK OUT FOR THEM
With the Israel-Palestine talks in tatters due to Palestinian president
Abbas threatening to put a halt to Netanyahu’s stretching out of the

Iran’s so-called ‘nuclear weapons program’ back to the forefront in an
effort to provoke instability that may lead to the war the Israelis so
desperately want. Abbas’s threat to go to the UN to seek membership of
various international organisations seems to have been the tipping point
which has caught Israel off balance.

Malaysia has established three new ministerial committees to streamline and strengthen the ongoing efforts made by the government in handling the MH370 case ( more red tape , baffle with bull shit ) ......... Press Briefing from Transport Minister , no real hard breaking news ...... Former Finance Minister Anwar was quoted in a British daily, The Telegraph, as saying the Malaysian government had deliberately concealed information that would help explain the missing plane - says Marconi radar system he had installed in 1994 , based near the South China Sea and covering Malaysia's mainland and east and west coastlines which would be able to detect the radar from the plane...... Questions and Answers considered for first month of mystery , as the hunt to find debris from the plane ( which might lead to locating the plane itself and the black boxes ) ..... Did Malaysian Airlines fail to replace the black box pinger batteries in 2012( the manufacturer says the recorders were not returned for overhaul and battery replacement in 2012 ) ? If so , the pinger might already be dead and the search in the Indian Ocean just an exercise in futility !

Can Rick Weiland Ride A Populist Wave Of Resentment Against Big Money Wrecking Our Democracy?
The DSCC preview of the electoral cycle that they hand out to big
contributors is as upbeat as they can make it. In the section on South
Dakota, where Democrat Tim Johnson is retiring, the DSCC asserts that
"Democrats and the DSCC are committed to holding Senator Johnson's seat
next year and will devote all the resources necessary to elect a new
Democratic senator in South Dakota. Recent polls have shown that Democrats
are in a strong position to hold the seat. This is another state where a
likely divisive Republican primary could force the eventual nominee to the

Some Muslim parents are concerned about public schools in Dearborn handing

A flyer headlined “Eggstravaganza!” was given to students this week at

*Pot-smoking students 'perform better academically' than those who smoke

People traditionally think of the students who smoke cannabis behind the

In one of the largest ever studies of substance use among teenagers,
Canadian researchers discovered marijuana smokers achieve better grades
than cigarette smokers.

I listened to this morning's paper review on *Broadcasting House *and heard

saying how his populism "frightens" him. The Conservative peer Patience
Wheatcroft agreed that his appeal is "frightening" and the prospect of him
getting 33% of the vote is "terrifying".
To his credit, Paddy O'Connell stepped in at this point, saying "But not to
