NJ taxpayers Covering “Jersey Shore” $420,000 Tax Bill

New Jersey’s Economic Development Authority approved a $420,000 tax credit for the production costs of the first season of MTV’s reality show “Jersey Shore”. The governor, Chris Christie, isn’t a fan of the show and supposedly said there is nothing he can do about the EDA’s decision. The governor had supposedly closed this tax loophole already to cover a budget deficit. I have to agree with the Governor Christie on this one. The mayor in the town where the show was filmed  is all for the credit saying their presence is a boon to local business. With each of the core...

Tea Partier’s Applaud Letting The Uninsured Die

Ron Paul was asked a hypothetical question by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer during the Tea Party debates regarding whether or not a 30-year-old man who had a terrible accident should be left to die if he had no medical insurance.

Of the total votes taken so far, most say they do not feel safer. Even more interesting is that for each vote a discussion thread is created along people to clarify their answers and others to ‘debate’ them. What about you? Does the active war on terror, heightened security measures, TSA rules, death of Osama Bin Laden or any of the policies...

Faith Leaders Among Those Banned From 9/11 10 Year Anniversary Memorial Ceremony

When NYC Mayor Bloomberg throws a party the guest list is more exclusive than a White House affair apparently. Bloomberg is very adamant about the 10 year Anniversary of the September 11 tragedy Memorial Ceremony be strictly about those that died and the families who lost loved one’s that day. As such, survivors of 9/11 are not invited, first responders are not invited and also apparently clergy have been banned from the event. Expectedly, the church isn’t to happy about this. Bloomberg’s barring participation by faith leaders in the city’s 10th anniversary service has sparked protests from a variety of...

Update (02/05/12): There is a recent petition going around at Signon.Org, once again ,attempting to remedy the situation of having Michael Taylor, former Monsanto exec, in a high ranking position at the FDA. this position is intended to be deliver to President Obama. Taylor, nor any Monsanto employee, should be allowed to be FDA employees; it’s a very dangerous conflict of interest. Actually this isn’t new news. Michael Taylor, ex exec for mega-evil genetic food modifier Monsanto was appointed FDA Food Safety Czar by the Obama Administration in 2009. Of course that is something that should never have happened as...
