US: 9/11 firemen are 19% more likely to get cancer; yet, Federal Health Director says there is not enough evidence to conclude that this is connected to the toxic dust they breathed on 9/11.

She was released because the arrest warrant was not properly signed. [This is hailed as a victory for freedom-of-choice, but not so.

US: Dick Cheney says that torture by waterboarding (authorized by him) was OK because it was only used on 2 or 3 people and it kept America safe for over 7 years.

China’s central bank issued a policy memo requiring higher down payments or other collateral on home loans to combat overbuilt real estate development and inflated prices. [If China (or any country) would stop managing the money supply, let money be based on gold or silver, and let the free market set interest rates, new building would match realistic demand, and prices would be exactly what they should be.]

Monsanto’s genetically engineered corn was designed to repel root worm and other insects that like corn. Now there is evidence that, in Iowa, this may have caused the development of a new, “superbug” that tolerates the genetic insecticide. If so, farmers who have relied on this technology may be facing crop failures in the next few years.

Time magazine says it is unconstitutional for states to require drug tests as a condition of receiving welfare. [There is nothing in the Constitution that dictates what states must do in this regard, unless one makes a far-fetched interpretation of the 14th Amend-ment and claims that the equal-protection clause covers it. The bigger issue is the unconstitutionality of welfare itself. If anything violates ‘equal protection’ of citizens, it is the redistribution of wealth from one group to another. Time remains silent on that issue] Time 2011 Aug 29 (Cached)

Al Gore would like to see global-warming skeptics become marginalized and despised just the same as racists are. He says that skeptics are “deniers” and must be confronted. [Bold talk, but Gore has refused to publicly debate the issue. That is because, in any such debate, he would be forced to “deny” that the sun has an influence on global temperature and “deny” that the Earth has been through many cycles of warming in its history, long before man-made hydrocarbons were a factor. In other words, he would reveal himself as a pathetic denier of scientific fact and would loose the debate.] DailyMail 2011 Aug 29 (Cached)

Scientists show (again) that global warming is related to the Sun’s effect on cloud formation, not man-made production of CO2. Mainstream media (again) is ignoring this story.

Illinois man may be sentenced to 75 years in prison for filming on-duty police officers and recording his court hearing because he was refused a court reporter.

Two blondes were going to Disneyland. They were driving on the Interstate when they saw a sign that said Disneyland LEFT. They started crying, turned around, and went home.

When they got home, they went out on the porch and were looking at the moon. One said to the other, “Which do you think is farther away… Florida or the moon?” The other blonde turned and said “Helloooooooooo, can you see Florida ?????”
