DAMASCUS, Syria - The number of dead in Syria's civil war has passed 100,000, the U.N. chief said Thursday, calling for urgent talks on ending 2 1/2 years of violence even as President Bashar Assad's government blasted the United States as an unsuitable peace broker.
In the latest example of the relentless carnage, a car bomb killed at least 10 people and wounded 66 in a pro-regime, residential area…

Though the CDC denies a definitive causal link between SV40 and cancer, it implies that the virus, which was supposedly removed from all polio vaccines in 1963, was problematic in relation to cancer development. More than 98 million people, in fact, may have been exposed to SV40 as a result of receiving government-recommended polio vaccines back in the 1960s, and many of these may have…

While private households becoming more self sufficient by installing their own power sources seems a good idea, the power companies would not agree. Solar power is getting more and more efficient and can soon become a serious alternative.

You thought Atlas Shrugged was fiction?
Look at this description of Detroit from today’s Observer:
What isn’t dumped is stolen. Factories and homes have largely been stripped of anything of value, so thieves now target cars’ catalytic converters. Illiteracy runs at around 47%; half the adults in some areas are unemployed. In many neighbourhoods, the only sign of…

Subject: GMO Labeling in California is Your Right
Hi,
Plain and simple, very much like the GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) labeling laws passed in Connecticut, the consumers in California have the right to know what goes into their food via explicit and state government mandated food ingredient labeling. GMO food consumption must be a choice made by the consumer in California, not a choice to be pushed down by any food or ingredient company (e.g. Monsanto).
That's…

There’s a new normal in the American economy for vast slices of society and it’s discouragingly tough, despite all the cheerleading from the White House and economists that the country is in a slow but steady recovery. If anything, the new American economy has undergone a structural shift where far too many jobs are not paying enough to cover basic living expenses and money worries are simmering and never-ending.
“It’s difficult to point fingers at people and say, 'You screwed up in…

So I have some great news folks! The Republicans and the Democrats in Congress and the White House FINALLY came together and agreed on something. This is HUGE. These guys disagree on EVERYTHING! Getting them to see eye-to-eye is like getting the Jews and the Palestinians to do a trust fall together. Or getting Eskimos and polar bears to play Jenga.
I'm referring to the bill H.R. 347 that was signed by President Obama the other day, passed unanimously in the Senate, and 388-3 in the…

In 1996 TWA Flight 800 climbed off the runway and was just heading out over the Atlantic coast when the jet liner made a perverse transformation into a fireball and plunged into the sea killing all aboard but leaving plenty of forensic evidence that appeared to be ignored by investigators. It was just in the last 2 years that a military expert on missiles and related delivery systems testified under duress and died a short time…

If Pollard gets released "in exchange for Palestinian prisoners" there should be a run on DC. We are not the United States of Israel.
