Sarah Palin found a novel way to turn down an interview request from Piers Morgan on Friday, posting a picture on Facebook of a bear she had shot dead and a note saying she was busy.

The former Alaska governor thanked chat show host Morgan for inviting her on his ‘shambolic show’ but added she was ‘kind of busy right now’.

The Facebook message, which had been liked by nearly 3,000 of Palin’s supporters within two hours of it being posted, is part of an online spat between the pair after Morgan poked fun at her intellect.   Continue reading “Sarah Palin taunts Piers Morgan with picture of bear she shot dead and posted on Facebook”

Ken,

I forgot about this but Laura just reminded me. She wanted you to see the flyer we are handing out to parents across the street from Kate Sessions Elementary School a few blocks from our house (the same elementary school I attended as a child). We found an enormous cell phone tower disguised as a tree located at the edge of the school property.   Continue reading “San Diego Parents Upset with Unified School District for Allowing Microwave Cell Towers Close to Elementary Schools”

My daughter got a letter in the mail (Killeen, Texas) saying food stamps for October were paid then skipped November and no issuance of food stamps until December 1st. She is a disabled woman.

It looks like no one is going to get a check for November.

She also said she has talked to others and they got the same letter. Even some elderly people that she knows got the same letter.   Continue reading “Letters being received in Texas: No Food Stamps at all for November”

By 2030, more than half of Americans could be obese, taxing the nation’s health while costing the country $500 billion in lost economic productivity. The food industry, however, is doing its best to keep the public hooked – no matter what the price.

With one out of three adults clinically obese and 40 percent of children officially overweight, the US is the fattest country in the developed world. The burgeoning public health crisis will see instances of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer skyrocket over the next two decades, taking an already strained healthcare system to breaking point.    Continue reading “Battle of the bulge: US food corporations fueling obesity epidemic with addictive ingredients”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The $5.1 billion that JPMorgan Chase has agreed to pay hardly ends its legal troubles over mortgage securities it sold.

It’s merely a down payment. JPMorgan still faces heavy financial burdens. The bank has set aside $23 billion to cover legal costs — and it may need it all. In a statement Friday night, JPMorgan called its latest settlement an “important step” toward resolving allegations over mortgage-backed securities it sold. The $5.1 billion would resolve federal claims that it misled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac about risky home loans and securities they bought before the housing market collapsed.   Continue reading “JPMorgan’s $5B settlement doesn’t end its troubles”

There’s an old saying that when presenting a legal case, if the facts are on your side, “pound the facts,” but if the facts are against you, “pound the table.” The report of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released on September 27th is an obvious example of pounding the table.

The facts, which the IPCC’s report admits to, albeit with obvious reluctance and a good deal of obfuscation, show that humanity’s impact on global climate is too small to justify concern and is certainly no reason for the costly programs governments are imposing. Yet the IPCC persists in asserting the opposite. Continue reading “New UN Climate Report Ignores Reality”
