<title>That's Religulous</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[According to an Associated Press story on Friday, more than a half-million people have toured the creationism museum in Kentucky since it opened in May 2007.  However, at least one of those people was there to make fun of it with a video camera.  

In fact, a lot of what Bill Maher's new film, "Religulous", does is make fun of people.  But by no means does Maher single out fringe religious believers.  He interviews one of the few top scientists in the world who believes, a priest at the Vatican who believes, and plenty of random typical believers in Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.  Maher's conclusion: these people (including the vast majority of Americans) are all enablers of neurologically disordered killers who are going to destroy th...

<title>Sarah Palin Did Not Abuse Her Power</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[Last weekend, Republican John McCain's top advisers announced their plans to stop engaging in a debate over the economy and "turn the page" to more direct, personal attacks on Barack Obama. The result of this strategy has been a sharp and venomous frenzy of race-baiting and name-calling by McCain supporters. These attacks ... on America's first African American presidential nominee ... have followed a flurry of television ads by McCain calling Obama's character into question. According to reports on <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/10/mccain.crowd/index.html" target="new">CNN</a> and elsewhere on the Internet, the McCain rallies and fundraisers have featured the following:

<title>ACORN's Response to McCain's Lies</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[ACORN President Maude Hurd released the following statement today in response to the McCain campaign's new ad claiming that, among other things, ACORN is responsible for the mortgage crisis:

"For almost a decade, ACORN, a community organization of 400,000 families in neighborhoods across the country, has been fighting against the predatory lending practices that have robbed our members of their homes, destabilized neighborhoods, and roiled the global economy."

"In his newest ad, John McCain's campaign bizarrely claims, "ACORN forced banks to issue risky home loans, the same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we're in today."  Nothing could be further from the truth.  In fact, ACORN has worked successfully to help working ...

<title>World Class Hypocrites: NRA Endorses 'Enemy of the 2nd Amendment' McCain </title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[The following is a statement by Ray Schoenke, President, American Hunters and Shooters:

"Today, the National Rifle Association demonstrated once again that it is a partisan political entity, not an organization committed to the best interests of gun owners.

In 2001, the NRA's magazine, America's First Freedom, said that John McCain was "one of the premier flag carriers for the enemies of the Second Amendment." That came after McCain introduced federal legislation on gun show background checks, which came after McCain's appearances in television ads supporting referenda in Colorado and Oregon to require backgrounds checks at gun shows. The NRA vehemently opposed those measures, which were passed by voters. The ads can be seen <a href="...

<title>Only Cagayan de Oro can assure investors of water security until 2015</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[Of all the booming urban centers in the Philippines, only Cagayan de Oro can assure investors of water security until 2015.

In a recent speech, Senator Bong Revilla, chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Works, bared that seven hundred sixty three (763) towns and cities all over the Philippines still have no water districts.

This comprises eighty five percent (85%) of all residents in the rural areas with no sufficient access to adequate supply of safe potable water, greatly contributing to the incidence of water-borne diseases such as typhoid fever, amoebiasis and diarrhea.

Revilla also cited figures gathered by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) that more than 10 million Filipinos have no access to safe drinking w...

<title>Obama, McCain Roles in Financial Crisis Corrected </title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[The politicians in Washington have been accused of wanting Americans to forget about their roles in our country's major financial crisis and costly $700 Billion bailout. They also want you to forget about the savings and loan crisis of the late '80s and early '90s. 

But voters deserve to know that the failed philosophy and culture of corruption that created the savings and loan crisis then are alive in the current crisis -- and in plans for our economic future. 

A recently released short documentary shows the role they played in that financial crisis -- watch it now and share it with your friends:

Voters need to know know the facts about the poor judgment ...

<title>Obama Expected to Win Virginia Over McCain</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[Though Virginia has voted Republican in ten straight Presidential elections, a new poll by Suffolk University signals that Democrat Barack Obama is poised to break that historic streak. Obama (51 percent) leads Republican John McCain (39 percent) by a huge 12 percentage points. 

"Barack Obama has built a coalition of suburban DC area progressives from the north, African-American voters from the south, and young voters statewide," said David Paleologos, director of the Political Research Center at Suffolk University in Boston. "That broad-based support suggests a 44-year Republican run in the Old Dominion State, dating back to Lyndon Johnson's victory in 1964, is in jeopardy."

The poll also shows that the vice presidential debate was a...

<title>A Salute To John McCain</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[Finally, the moment many of us have been waiting for.  John McCain on Friday proved that he is a real hero.  Sure, we have all known that he was a war hero tortured in the jungles of Vietnam, but now, now he has shown us what a true hero can do.  A true hero can reach beyond the narrow-mindedness of bigotry, prejudice, and misinformation, to embrace truth.  John McCain, the hero, did just exactly that.  I applaud him.

Anyone who has ever read my articles (believe me that's not many) know I am a Liberal, a weak atheist, and sometimes a weak writer, but I believe in giving praise where praise is needed.  Although I do not subscribe to Republican economics, I do recognize every Republican as human beings.  Republicans should return the favo...

<title>Don't Let The Financial Crisis Create A Corporate Health Crisis In Your Office</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[For Laura Hucker, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain her focus on her job over the last couple of months. It's no longer a case of worrying about meeting her project deadlines. Instead the big question has become, "Will I still have a job by the end of the month?"

"The struggling economy has created a lot more stress in the workplace as well as at home," said Laura, a 29-year-old administrative assistant at a transport company. "If something happens, I don't know how I would pay my rent?" 

It's not just the younger employees that are feeling the financial stress of this stuttering economy. It's people all around us ... from managers close to retirement age seeing their nest egg appearing vulnerable to working parents try...

<title>Now Is the Time for Personal Responsibility</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[The other day, a young lady responded to one of my political articles by complaining about President Bush and blaming him and his friends on Wall Street for the current plight of many everyday Americans, especially the middle class. She found fault with him for everything from Katrina to the sub-prime mortgage debacle to the current financial meltdown. However, the fact of the matter is that the lack of personal responsibility on the part many Americans ... not anything President Bush has or hasn't done -- has brought on most of our recent woes. 
 
Don't try to tell me it has been impossible for a middle class person to thrive during the Bush administration. For the last eight years, my taxable savings have increased at least 15% a year, ...

<title>Was Medvedev Exposed? Moscow's Anti-Western Constituency and the Russian Invasion of Georgia </title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[The clearer the larger implications of Russia's latest adventure in the Caucasus become, the more the Russian leadership's actions, in August 2008, look dysfunctional. A growing number of repercussions of Russia's overreaction to Georgia's deeds in South Ossetia have, by now, added up to a significant loss in Moscow's international standing. To be sure, further escalation in Moscow's already strained relations with the United States had been, most probably, expected and, perhaps, even desired by many politicians and pundits in Moscow. Yet, as becomes more obvious with every week passing, other setbacks in Russia's relations to various countries are increasingly outweighing any gains that Russia's leadership may be reaping from its show of m...

<title>Taking Your Work With You On Vacation Helps Your Work Life Balance</title>

	<![CDATA[I had just returned from a week's holiday in the beautiful setting of Byron Bay on the east coast of Australia where we attended the wedding of my sister-in-law Elka and her fianc. Mark. I did pack my mobile and laptop but they didn't get much of a workout. I had too much fun relaxing with relatives and doing a bit of boogie boarding down at the beach with the kids.

During the week I noticed my brother-in law, Derek attending to his Blackberry at various intervals. This got me thinking about the debate the rages about technology blurring the lines between work and home life. The boomer generation in particular views devices like laptops and Blackberries as a gross invasion of our family time and the modern ogre upsetting our work life ba...

<title>Sarah Palin: Guilty of Violating Ethics Laws And Abuse Of Power</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[America, and indeed the whole world, is in the gravest financial disaster since the Great Depression, and McCain is busy hurling baseless and vicious accusations against Sen. Barack Obama. 

McCain has admitted on several occasions that the economy is not his forte, and his declaration that the "fundamentals of the economy are strong" while the stock market is tanking proves that his self-analysis is spot on. 

I can imagine McCain on the deck of the sinking Titanic, railing that the captain isn't worthy of his position because he consorts with movie stars, and other riff raff.

But McCain shouldn't ignore the economic crisis because it's not a winning issue for him. He shouldn't focus on trivial and inconsequential issues like Rev. W...

<title>The Smelly Truth About Fragrances and Why They Might Be Killing Us</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[The vast majority of perfumes-from the cheapest drugstore brands to the most famous and expensive designer names-are mostly made by just eight international labs, and each brand of perfume typically contains dozens of synthetic chemicals derived from coal tar, petroleum distillates, and pine resin.

Don't get me wrong: I like perfume. But the larger issue is that today there are synthetic fragrances added to virtually every household and personal-care product on the market. You can't escape it. Try to think of a single thing you use on your body that doesn't come with a fragrance. Many of us are almost as wedded to the smell of our favorite products. The fragrances we use every day are inextricably entwined with our identity.

<title>Federal Prison Consultant Discusses Selecting a Defense Attorney.</title>

Both concerns could not be more valid.

Many things factor into the choice of defense counsel.  Price, experience and reputation are issues that must be considered.  It also helps to know your strategy.  

Are you going to plead out?  If so, then you may want a different lawyer than if you plan to go to trial.

Once you get past basic competence ... is the lawyer an expert regarding your charges ... there are other, more subtle factors.  Is the lawyer you are considering familiar with the judge and prosecutor?  Does the lawyer have too many other clients?  Is the lawyer distracted by fa...

<title>Thinking Of Starting An Internet Based Business?</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[Every month thousands of people search the internet for ways to make an income from home. Ever wonder how they got started? It all starts when those people go online and search with the words "internet based business" or similar.

When searching on the internet you will no doubt come across all the many sales letters stating what large amounts of money you can make. Some people are aware that there are scams online and so not everyone falls for this type of hype. Even though there are so many legitimate internet based businesses, people still get distracted by advertising of this nature.

There are so many people would rather have their own business than work for a boss, but unfortunately they have never really been given the opportunit...

<title>UFO Gives A Kelowna Man The Fright Of His Life, West Of Kamloops, British Columbia </title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[I (Brian Vike) had been wandering around the town of Houston, B.C. when I met a person who stopped me and asked if I had heard from a man who lives in Kelowna, B.C. over a UFO sighting he had. The lady ended up giving me the name and number of the guy who wanted to contact me.   His name is Harry who at one time used to live in Houston, B.C. where I am, and he was eager to tell his story of what went on around the Savona, British Columbia area. He related an amazing story to me over what he experienced.  

Harry had a large UFO incident which took place on August 31, 2008 at approximately 1:30 a.m. when he was on a week's holiday. The man was driving his pickup truck and pulling a trailer. All was fine on his journey as he traveled down H...

<title>Federal lawsuit alleges O.C. Sheriff Mike Carona Trafficked in Drugs</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[
The lawsuit filed by Folsom Prison inmate Randy Lee Soderstrom alleges that he delivered cocaine, ecstasy and other drugs to former O.C. Sheriff Michael Carona, Broadcom Corp's billionaire Henry T. Nicholas III and Henry Samueli.
According to documents obtained by the Laguna Journal Soderstrom delivered cocaine and cash to Carona, who resigned in January to face federal corruption charges. The suit said that on one occasion Carona tested the cocaine by taking a pinch with his fingers and inhaling it.

The lawsuit further alleges that in 2001 Soderstrom delivered cocaine to an unidentified Laguna Beach location where Samueli, Corona and others were present. "Nicholas and Carona snorted cocaine together and Nicholas provided Carona with ...

<title>Coming out of The Desert  (Liberty must reign in America)</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[In the year 2000, American voters unwittingly set themselves, and our country, in a direction none of us ever thought possible. We had, through the election of President G.W. Bush, set a course for U.S. policy that would take America into a desert where many of the things we embraced and held dear, as a people, were about to be turned upside down and, in some cases, forever taken from us, plowed asunder the ground we called liberty. Things like our concept of freedom, governments subordinate position to its citizens, basic rights and freedoms that we had always, until George Bush, considered "Inalienable" as stated in our country's constitution; the sacred document that defines who we are to each other and to the world.

<title>Give The Money To The People</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[The trickle down theory does not and has not worked.  It is time to give the money to the people and not big corporations and the "used to be" giants of Wall Street.  We have seen all kinds of moves on the part of Wall Street backed government officials to bailout toxic debt and the flailing stock market.  If you do not have a degree in advanced economics, most of what these officials are doing and saying sound like gibberish.  In fact, it is gibberish!

World-wide bailouts are not working.  They were destined to failure from their inception.  The Bush refrain that we must "give it time to work" is a ploy to keep the public from discovering the real truth.  The economy is broke, something is very wrong.  Laissez-faire economic theory from...

<title>Dolphin Therapy for Children</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[When I was a child, my family used to take summer vacations at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. During the early mornings, I recall seeing the dolphins diving in and out of the ocean. They were close enough to observe; however, too far away for any contact. I always wondered what it would be like to swim with these graceful and intelligent creatures.

In Ancient Rome and Greece, scholars thought that dolphins had special healing powers. Or were good omens if they appeared during the launch of an ocean voyage. About thirty years ago, researchers, doctors, and behavioral therapists began to investigate this ancient belief. Could the dolphins actually heal humans, especially children, with disabling and/or other serious conditions?

<title>Chicago ACORN Is Braver and Better Than McCain</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[The McCain-Palin campaign is running an advertisement "accusing " Barack Obama of once training ACORN members in Chicago.  Obama should be proud of that.  I've done it myself and am proud of it.  I trained Chicago ACORN members in how to talk to the media about the wonderful work they do.  

What sort of work?  Chicago ACORN has worked to improve local schools, reducing class sizes, providing teachers with mentors and assistants.  Chicago ACORN has worked to prevent predatory lending and reform predatory lending corporations, the opposite of what ACORN is accused of in the right-wing myth that blames Wall Street's troubles on Wall Street's victims.  Chicago ACORN and its partner, Service Employees International Union Local 880, have worke...

<title>A Fiery Cylindrical Vortex</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[
 

       They're coming. They're taking over. The economy is the least of your worries.

       There is a gigantic swirling vortex in outer space scientists are not aware of, that is funneling alien organisms that will ultimately rob the food chain of its life giving nutrients, as well as spread impotency among people.  


       This is all directed by a strange race of extra terrestrial, ionized, semi-humanoid-in-intelligence, concave cloud-shaped wisps of energy-charged neutrons who appear vaguely like pulsating jellyfish, led by a leader I call the "Geo-Framer."

       The breakdown of the food chain they will initiate is a direct result of synthetic deposits polluting earth's atmosphere and floating to earth and mixing in...

<title>Laser Jet's Wingmen: Mirrored Drones?</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[The military may one day manage to get a modified 747 to blast missiles out of the sky, with a real-life energy cannon. But even if the so-called "Airborne Laser," or ABL, functions as promised, it still won't be all that useful, nay-sayers contend. With a range of a few-hundred miles, it'd take a small squadron of the things to cover the world's hotspots. And they'd be sitting ducks for enemy attacks.

Au contraire, answers ABL-maker Boeing. The laser jet would be just fine - especially if it was "accompanied by a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fitted with mirrors," as Pop Mech's Erik Sofge reports. The "entirely new combination of lasers and robots &mdash; and it may be the answer to critics aiming to dismantle ABL before it e...

In February, the NTEF notified the FDA that Clarins EP3 was making drug versus cosmetics claims and requested an investigation into these allegations.  As previously stated: "We are now requesting that the FDA verify the claims made by Clarins, in vitro testing versus in vivo testing, along with compliance, since this product is a new drug under section 201(p) of the FDCA, 21 U.S.C. subsection 321 (p), because it is not generally recognized by qualified scientific experts as "effective" for its intended use."

<title>The American Consumer Is Just As Much To Blame As Is Wall Street</title>

Have you noticed that during the housing boom, you never saw any small or moderately sized houses under construction? Gone are the days of the brick ranch and the "starter home", they have given way to the mammoth single-family structures, built merely of pressboard and aluminum siding. 

Everywhere we have seen signs proclaiming "luxury" or "custom" homes. Apparently "luxury" now means dozens of houses built so close to each other that you can literally reach out and touch your neighbor. A "custom" home really means that you can choose the color of the linoleum and cheap carpet. The only thing really luxurious about thes...

Senator McCain clung to this Straight Talk Express mantra up until he nominated Sarah Palin as his running mate.  The McCain party leaders huddled under the expert direction of Karl Rove felt they needed something with a little more pizzazz than what the Straight Talk Express had previously offered. What would they come up with to fill that niche?  At the republican convention McCain/Palin tried on the change hat, but that had been coined by Barack Obama and most of the Democratic party challengers.

<title>Don't Interrupt Your Customer</title>
<description>
	<![CDATA[<strong>Kevin Stirtz's Amazing Service Rule# 15:</strong>

<em>Don't interrupt your customer when they're talking to you.</em>

We all know listening skills are fundamental to working with and getting along with others. They're so basic it should be a given that we're all excellent listeners.

But we aren't, are we?

<description>
