And they call this news?"Who needs foreplay when you have a cell phone?
According to a recent online survey of Chicago residents, three out of 10 people said they'd give up sex for a year rather than sacrifice their mobile phone, officials said. And although cell phones make talking anywhere easy, a large number of residents spend more time texting, sending pictures and messaging then actually conversing."

Contrary to what the story says Obama's diplomacy is founded in the concept that he is right and we should get with the program. He believes that the force of his superior intellect, glimmering personality and just plain good looks should inspire the common man to realize that we are just not capable of understanding as only he (should I capitalize he?) can the path of true happiness.
Can you here the giant smooching sound as the world cozies up to the self styled messiahs ass?"President Barack Obama on Friday won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.
"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the committee said. "His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."

These bastards have got stones the size of the Rocky Mountains!!"There are plenty of needy countries at the U.N. climate talks in Bangkok that make the case they need financial assistance to adapt to the impacts of global warming. Then there are the Saudis.
Saudi Arabia has led a quiet campaign during these and other negotiations — demanding behind closed doors that oil-producing nations get special financial assistance if a new climate pact calls for substantial reductions in the use of fossil fuels."

The American Bishops have sent a letter to Congress outlining their objections to the current health control bill. It is refreshing to see them refer to health care that is affordable, not free and emphasizing that benefits should only apply to legal immigrants. This is a far cry from some of the "social justice" claptrap that other Bishops have been espousing. At least this letter is in line with the teachings of the Church.United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

Dear Member of Congress:
On behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), we are writing to express our
disappointment that progress has not been made on the three priority criteria for health care reform that we have
conveyed previously to Congress. In fact, the Senate Finance Committee rejected a conscience rights amendment
accepted earlier by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. If final legislation does not meet our principles,
we will have no choice but to oppose the bill. We remain committed to working with the Administration,
Congressional leadership, and our allies to produce final health reform legislation that will reflect our principles.
We continue to urge you to
1. Exclude mandated coverage for abortion, and incorporate longstanding policies against abortion funding
and in favor of conscience rights. No one should be required to pay for or participate in abortion. It is
essential that the legislation clearly apply to this new program longstanding and widely supported federal
restrictions on abortion funding and mandates, and protections for rights of conscience. No current bill
meets this test.
2. Adopt measures that protect and improve people’s health care. Reform should make quality health care
affordable and accessible to everyone, particularly those who are vulnerable and those who live at or near
the poverty level.
3. Include effective measures to safeguard the health of immigrants, their children and all of society. Ensure
that legal immigrants and their family members have comprehensive, affordable, and timely access to
health care coverage. Maintain an adequate safety net for those who remain uncovered.
We sincerely hope that the legislation will not fall short of our criteria. However, we remain apprehensive when
amendments protecting freedom of conscience and ensuring no taxpayer money for abortion are defeated in
committee votes. If acceptable language in these areas cannot be found, we will have to oppose the health care bill
vigorously. Catholic moral tradition teaches that health care is a basic human right, essential to protecting human
life and dignity. Much-needed reform of our health care system must be pursued in ways that serve the life and
dignity of all, never in ways that undermine or violate these fundamental values. We will work tirelessly to
remedy these central problems and help pass real reform that clearly protects the life, dignity and health of all.
Sincerely,

I'm thinking that if the Supreme Court decides that the cross should come down a whole bunch of people should go down and surround it; dare them to remove it. It should be a group comprised of all faiths. We are a country of believers. We may not all believe in the same God or the same doctrine and dogma but by and large Americans are religious people. We aren't offended by the free exercise of religion. We like and respect it. Christian, Jew, Muslim and all others need to stand against this. They won't just stop with the cross.
If we don't stand up against this unconstitutional abuse of our rights we will slowly lose our ability to worship freely. The government is imposing a religious view on us, the faith of no faith at all."Henry and Wanda Sandoz greet their visitors with a little warning: watch out for the "Mojave Greens," their name for "Crotalus scutulatus," the local rattlesnakes that inhabit the area around Sunrise Rock.
Henry and Wanda Sandoz stare up at the now-boxed 6-foot metal cross at the center of a Supreme Court case.
For them, the fight is not as much about the Constitution as it is a promise to a friend.
"He was an old miner who lived up in the hills and we befriended him," said Wanda Sandoz. "And he would come over to our house at least once a week to have dinner, and he was always at our house on holidays. He was part of our family and we really loved him."
The Mojave Memorial Cross was erected back in 1934 by that friend, Riley Bembry, a World War I veteran who wanted to honor soldiers who had perished in the "war to end all wars." The symbol he and his fellow "doughboys" (U.S. infantry in World War I) chose was a simple Latin cross, typical of many veteran memorials at that time...
...Another veteran with ties to the preserve is Frank Buono, who used to be the deputy superintendent of the park. He filed the original lawsuit protesting the cross.
"He's both a veteran and a devout Catholic but believes that the government sponsorship and favoritism of religion is not a good thing" Peter Eliasberg, an ACLU lawyer, said of his client. The presence of the cross to Buono is "really inconsistent with his beliefs and he thinks that the government is, in effect, misappropriating this sacred symbol and trying to give it just a secular meaning."

Below is a portion of a letter sent to the New York State Nurses Association. You can find the entire letter with back up documentation at Educate Yourself.
It's interesting that a large percentage of the country is being led by some sort of interior sense to reject taking this stuff. As more pressure is exerted by the government and business to take this it will become a flash point around which many will rally. Gerald Celente predicts that this will be the next shot in the second American Revolution. Perhaps he's right."On 9/28/09 I sent the following letter to as many district presidents of the New York State Nurses' Association (NYSNA) as I could find emails for. Thus far I have received no response from NYSNA, but in 48 hours my wife told me a co-worker at her hospital had received a forwarded copy with at least 50 others on the send list. (Hotmail has now flagged my IP address for spam.) We are peacefully pushing the hospitals to back off, based on losing too many employees. If they do not back off, my wife will leave her job anyway. As further trial balloons pop up around the country, this letter may also serve as a template for others to modify for a particular locale or target audience.
Cheers,

"...The historical point we should stick in the state's veins is this: Vaccines are far more likely to cause pandemics. Put another way: mass acceptance of the H1N1 vaccine, and quite possibly the seasonal flu shot (this year), will be the only way a real H1N1 pandemic can actually occur.
Even if there were a true pandemic of deadly, rapidly spreading disease killing millions worldwide (a virtual impossibility today without deliberate human interference), under no circumstance would such a toxic concoction as the “H1N1 vaccine” save us – it would be like pouring gasoline on a fire. Natural supplements are always the safest, most effective solution, certainly where influenza is concerned, and it is our fundamental right to choose them. Vitamin D3, among others, is a logical (and cheap) choice in this case.
As many researchers have concluded, disease eradication came primarily from modern living conditions and nutrition, not vaccines. No matter what statistics the multi-billion dollar health industry cites to support the effectiveness of vaccines, the evidence exposing their danger, not to mention their financiers' ulterior motives, is legion – especially recently. Vaccines are debilitating to the immune system and in many cases, fatally harmful. Religious and philosophical objections are legitimate enough, but the scientific and legal objections are paramount.
Legally, forced vaccination (and forced quarantine relocation) violates the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment, the Geneva Accords, and the Nuremberg code, at minimum. Calling it a “regulation” in the context of state health care makes it no less illegal than if Congress had passed it and called it “law.” The primary purpose of human rights laws is to protect the individual against force and fraud on the part of the state. (It is not about"personal preference," Commissioner Daines.) When we couple this arbitrary violation of fundamental rights with federal liability protection for vaccine makers, and when we consider the pharmaceutical cartel dominance of funding for all major media, alarm bells should be going off in everyone's mind.
When someone on a major news network actually tells viewers, “Get your damn vaccine,” alarm bells should be going off in everyone's mind..."
ACORN was caught promoting the sexual slavery of underage girls.
Can anyone tell me how the promotion of sexual activity among children is any different when Planned Parenthood does it?
I'll bet we don't hear anything about this on the evening news."A new report from a Planned Parenthood watchdog group finds the abortion business used underage girls in at least 10 clinical trials over the last two decades to push abortion, birth control, and STD testing.
The news comes at a time when Planned Parenthood is facing criticism for videos showing it ignoring potential statutory abuse cases.
Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League and the head of its STOPP Planned Parenthood effort, released the details in a statement to LifeNews.com.
Twenty-eight Planned Parenthood affiliates have been involved in 33 clinical trials, some of which received government funds, and 10 of them involved girls as young as 13 years of age. That number represents one-third of all clinical trials surveyed in the STOPP report.
Two of the 33 trials ended in the 1990s, while the remaining 31 were conducted within the last seven years and some of them are ongoing.
Shocked by the results, Sedlak said, “In most states, minor girls involved in sexual activity is considered sex abuse and is illegal..."
"...The report Sedlak's group released today showed Planned Parenthood wasn't alone in targeting young women in the trials.
Businesses and universities such as Columbia University, Emory University, Merck Pharmaceuticals, the National Institutes of Health, the University of California at San Francisco, Bayer, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Virginia Commonwealth University also participated.
Those joining Planned Parenthood in participating in abortion or birth control trials included Gynuity Health Projects, the University of Utah, Pfizer, the University of North Carolina, Oregon Health and Science University, Johns Hopkins, HRA Pharma, and the University of California at San Diego.
The Planned Parenthood affiliates conducting clinical trials on minors include Planned Parenthood of Georgia, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina, Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts and Planned Parenthood of Maryland.
Others with trials involving minor girls include Planned Parenthood of Shasta-Diablo, Planned Parenthood Golden Gate, Virginia League of Planned Parenthood, Planned Parenthood of New York City, and Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas.

If there is a significant danger in using live virus vaccines in people that have contact with the sick, why do it? Since the flu doesn't seem to be a huge problem at the moment why would we risk spreading it into the population where it doesn't already exist? I don't get it.
St. Louis County received its first batch of nasal vaccine yesterday and of course it will be distributed first to health care workers and emergency personnel, the people most likely to be around those with compromised immune systems. It seems we are inflating the chance of spreading the virus in the name of protecting the population. Why? Are the people in charge of this program unaware of the concerns expressed by the hospitals below or, are the hospitals wrong to be worried?
Where is the truth concerning this flu and the vaccine? Everyone has a conflicting opinion. Most doctors that I see interviewed seem to say that this isn't that big of a problem, that the swine flu is a relatively mild respiratory infection. Yet the government is going full speed ahead, chancing the spread of the virus in the name of protecting the people. Is this because someone is making big money from this or something more nefarious?
I would really like some clear answers. "It now looks like Colorado’s first batch of H1N1 vaccine won’t arrive until Thursday.
That’s when an estimated 54,000 doses of FluMist will be doled out to county health departments.
Those departments, in turn, will deliver the mist to hospitals and clinics which have applied for the vaccine.
But several metro area hospitals said they won’t be taking the FluMist because they don’t want to endanger patients.
When asked if that meant that FluMist was dangerous, Lois VanFleet, infection prevention specialist at Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center in Lafayette said, "No, it's a very safe vaccine in healthy people."
