• Top GOP Senator Says Obama Could Be Impeached Over ‘Most Egregious Cover-Up in American History’

  May 11, 2013 at 3:18am

  I don’t think we want to go here.. One reason gives me chills.

  Can you say – President Biden !?

• Report: 47 Percent of Detroit Property Owners Pay No Taxes

  February 22, 2013 at 4:22am

  I smell law suits out the ying yang.
  If I lost my house to tax payment defaults and then the city allowed people to slide on not paying taxes then I would be getting a lawyer pronto.

• The 3D Printing Pen That Draws in the Air Might Be Your Childhood Dream Come True

  This is another of the Many KICKSTARTER.COM items.

  Very successful way to get your dream project funded.

• Guess How Much the Fan Who Won $75K (and a Huge Hug From LeBron James) for Epic Half-Court Shot Will Have to Pay in Taxes

  January 27, 2013 at 5:46am

  It is interesting that if you SUE someone it is tax free but if you get gains like this without a Lawyer involved it is taxed to death.

  And you wonder why people are so quick to sue someone these days.

• Here’s a Recap of Glenn Beck’s Awesome New 3D Printer: The Implications and What He Plans to Make

  January 10, 2013 at 5:00am

  The printer he has will use plastic and also wood (laywood). Higher end printers can use metal powders but the process changes a lot and is not for the home hobbyist.

  They already are making objects using bio mass. One hold back that I have heard about is the ability to keep the tissue viable (alive) while the printing is accomplished and this means for several hours.

  Regulation is already in place in a back door way. Making images has many venues. The 123Catch from pictures he mentioned is one. Using a Kinect for on the fly images is getting better. Basically anything that can be modeled in CAD is printable.
  For real life objects though, the best by far image copy is when using a laser line scanner. These can be purchased for about $18,000 is you are heavy. There are do-it-yourself versions that can be tossed together for under 50 bucks. The cheap version works amazingly well so I can imagine the 18 grand one is worth the money.

  BUT here is the regulation. Where I live it is a misdemeanor to paint a person or animal with a laser. The Feds already have vehicles covered. So even when I laser line myself for a Bot print (not butt Glen, sorry ) I am breaking the law. As good as laser line works I cannot go out into the world and make images of things with it without drawing a lot of attention. This law will be tested in this manner someday I am sure but I will not be the one to do so.

• Iranian Woman Beats Up Cleric After He Asks Her to Cover Up

  She was just having a Bad Hair Day – hard to notice over there and so no warning to steer clear of her.

• Read Darrell Issa’s Ultimatum to Eric Holder

  June 13, 2012 at 6:10pm

  —-SNIPPIT—-
  Following a contempt citation, the presiding officer of the chamber is instructed to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia;[9] according to the law it is the “duty” of the U.S. Attorney to refer the matter to a grand jury for action.

  The criminal offense of “contempt of Congress” sets the penalty at not less than one month nor more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000.[10]

  While the law pronounces the duty of the U.S. Attorney is to impanel a grand jury for its action on the matter, some proponents of the unitary executive theory believe that the Congress cannot properly compel the U.S. Attorney to take this action against the Executive Branch, asserting that the U.S. Attorney is a member of the Executive Branch who ultimately reports only to the President and that compelling the Attorney amounts to compelling the President himself. They believe that to allow Congress to force the President to take action against a subordinate following his directives would be a violation of the separation of powers and infringe on the power of the Executive branch.
  ——END SNIPPIT—

  So then.. reading the above my guess is he will say Bring It On.. No real penalty other than a month vacation or a thousand dollar fine. It would be more expensive to be caught driving drunk.

• Obama’s Gay Marriage Decision Getting Blowback From His Own Religious Adviser

  May 9, 2012 at 10:29pm

  In reply to lassiegirldawn.

  Biden did not Out Obama. Think about it. He was given talking points.

  If the back flash isn’t too bad – ok we can go with this..

  If it is nuclear – well, you know old Joe – always saying goofy stuff..

  Biden was the taste test to see if the media would vomit.

• Scientists Granted Rights to Publish Bird Flu Study With Possible ‘Pandemic’ Implications

  May 2, 2012 at 11:31am

  In reply to Calm Voice of Reason.

  requires highly specialized equipment and advanced expertise – much like nuclear weapons of mass destruction ? Centrifuge or other Lab Equipment for instance.
  It isn’t some underground master mind we are concerned about here – that only happens in the comic books,
  Wake up and look around..

• How Did the Rest of the World Spend May Day? Take a Look

  May 2, 2012 at 3:23am

  In reply to Itsjusttim.

  Gold – maybe not. If you really feel it is all going to come tumbling down then I suggest taking a tip from all the post apocalypse scenarios. Bullets, food, and water (in that order) are the bargaining chips when it all goes into the toilet. Gold only works when it is still civilized.
