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. There was a brief burst, from a few members of the audience, of applause and a couple shouts of “Yea!” To be fair, yes even to the Tea Party, it was only a couple of people out of the entire audience that seemed to respond in the affirmative. However it is still an uncomfortable idea that fellow citizens would wish that...

Do You Feel Safer In The 10 Years Since 9/11?

An interactive poll using Google Maps technology asks the question “Do you feel safer in the 10 years since 9/11?” The responses are shown on the map with the answer and the location of the person who responded. 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

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...

Gaga Goes Au Natural

Lady Gaga covers the upcoming Harper’s Bazaar Magazine without makeup. That in itself isn’t really post worthy. Many celebrities have done something similar. It may be eye-catching that the always heavily and outrageously made up Gaga is doing it too but then again not really. It’s not even prompted by the irony of them making a point to say she’s wearing no make up yet the images are more than likely touched up via photoshopped and some sort of make up applied anyway, you know for the lights and stuff. The real reason for this post has to do with...
