Obama lets it slip: "Unfortunately" more Americans killed by car accidents than terrorism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCrE8e-9wto

On Jay Leno's show, at 4:45 in the above video, Obama said,"...the odds of people dying in a terrorist attack, obviously, are still a lot lower than in a car accident, unfortunately."

.... wait...did he just imply that it would be better if more Americans were killed by terrorist attacks than by car accidents??

The Surveillance Reforms Obama Supported Before He Was President

This piece first appeared on ProPublica.

When the House of Representatives recently considered an amendment that would have dismantled the NSA’s bulk phone records collection program, the White House swiftly condemned the measure. But only five years ago, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. was part of a group of legislators that supported substantial changes to NSA surveillance programs. Here are some of the proposals the president co-sponsored as a senator.

As a senator, Obama… Continue

There are rules for the common people and rules for their "leaders," and only in rare cases do the same rules cover both. Chris Morran at the Consumerist points out how politicians (yet again) are being allowed to ignore the same laws that affect their constituents. Colorado legislators are immune from speeding tickets and parking tickets thanks to the special plates issued to lawmakers -- ones that aren't included in the DMV database.

According to CBS Denver, the info for these… Continue

We’re Just a Few Months Away From A Flip In The Sun’s Magnetic Field And A Shift In Human Behavior

We are currently in the middle of a peak or solar maximum which has brought us more solar flares, CMEs, and geomagnetic storms.

A big event is about to happen on the sun which may assist in this process–the sun’s vast magnetic field is about to flip in just a few months.

The sun is a major source of visible light and energy on this planet. It represents… Continue
