Anti-American Manifesto: Time for Revolution Political

Anti-American Manifesto: Time for Revolution Political cartoonist Ted Rall appeared on the Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC to discuss his new book and the need for revolutionary change in America. While he did note violence is the last resort, it is one that he believes will ultimately become a part of the American DNA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=namL_pIqsVo

Amazon defends 'Pedophile's Guide'

MY EMAIL TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT MOMENTS AGO.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-us/general-questions.html Can you tell me if this is true, or not? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40112145/ It is important to me. I thoroughly disapprove. I do not want to have to discontinue my Amazon account, I need it. I am disabled on oxygen at home and do not drive. But, there are larger issues, and integrity matters. I realize you are a business in it for profits but there are limits and if this is true, you have gone well beyond it. Thank you for your time. I await your reply.

Good/bad news (PUN!)

Good/bad news, depending on whom you are: I'm still alive! ;) Eech! All puns aside: Sadly, there are always those who would wish such on us, out there. The worse of it is, they bring such negative devastation on themselves by engaging in such a thing. When I think what those people are creating for their karma ... I shudder.

YouTube - Pennsylvania to Become 'Gasland'?

YouTube - Pennsylvania to Become 'Gasland'? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRRe5X6deNc The entire energy needs of the USA could be met for the next 2 to 30 years by this, alone. Of course (GAG) Halliburton was there with others competing for drilling rights. They say it's a 100 year supply. Rove was key speaker. (DOUBLE gag.) This involves "frac'ing" which is known to contaminate environments, and water supplies. [From the video.] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fracturing#Environmental_and_human_health_concerns

USA politically paranoid almost 50 years ago

These words are in the caption below this picture: "Kennedy's Catholicism was...openly derided." "...millions of Protestants, Baptists, Methodists, and other non-Catholics...believed - genuinely believed - that once in office JFK would be taking his marching orders from Rome." Apparently we were paranoid idiots even back then. DUH! (Echos of "Obama's a Muslim" now, almost a good 50 years ago! I mean, I've got MAJOR disappointments in Obama, but let's not do my usual digression now and I'll be even more scary - engage BREVITY instead of verbosity!!!) SIGH!

Small banks failing as larger firms regain health - Yahoo! Finance

Small banks failing as larger firms regain health - Yahoo! Finance U.S. banks are failing at the fastest rate in two decades. No, the financial crisis hasn't returned. Wall Street doesn't need another bailout. But in communities around the country, 143 banks have collapsed so far this year - more than all of last year. This time, the failed banks are smaller, on average, than in 2008 and 2009. The damage to the industry has thus been milder this time. Still, the wave of closings points to the persistent struggles of many communities and states. On Friday, regulators closed four small banks: One each in Maryland and Washington state and two in California -- one of the hardest-hit states, where a dozen banks have failed this year. As larger banks have regained their health this year, thanks in part to federal aid, smaller ones have struggled
