• ‘You’ve Damaged Your Own Race’: Philly Mayor Blasts Teens, Flash Mobs

  August 9, 2011 at 11:18am

  FINALLY! Someone with the sense to call bullsh*t for bullsh*t and do something about it! Our society is plagued with political correctness… this is refreshing!

• Army Agrees to Host, Pay $50,000 Toward Concert for Atheists

  August 8, 2011 at 4:22pm

  I have an idea: how about we utilize the ARMY Band to play a concert – its what they are there for! Each state has one. I could understand if the concert was going to be overseas; our men and women need a break, but is this necessary? It feels like going out to eat when you already have a refrigerator full of groceries.

• Bizarre: UK Prof. Says Students Should Sell Their Kidneys…To Pay Off College Debt

  In reply to AIDANMAN.

  I was attending BSU when they won the bowl game against OU with the Statue of Liberty pass… the next semester, tuition nearly doubled. Why? Because they could! Educational establishments are perpetually seeking a motive to increase fees.

• Bizarre: UK Prof. Says Students Should Sell Their Kidneys…To Pay Off College Debt

  Selling organs is legal within the united states, but you dont see American college students auctioning off their innards en masse for cash. Even if they did, and I am sure that a few have, what would it matter? (I hate that these typically pro-abortion word are going to leave my mouth.. err.. fingers, but) Their body – their choice!

  Less government regulation is always a good thing.

• Holy Relic That Shows ‘True Face of Jesus Christ’ Hidden in Tennessee Motor Home

  August 5, 2011 at 10:32am

  In reply to christos.

  Would you hang a electric chair with a man getting zapped above your bed? No it horrifying! The important part is what happened three days later.

  Not to mention the standard cross that we all know ( t ) is actually an Italian cross, the Roman cross looked more like ( T ), and His name would have been hung on a sign under one arm of the cross.

• Swedish Man Tries to Build Homemade Nuclear Reactor in Kitchen

  August 5, 2011 at 10:19am

  A seventeen year old did this back in the ‘90’s, he too was successful for a short time, but couldnt contain it. Read “The Radioactive Boy Scout” sometime, its great! Scary part is, he did it with only instructions from his chemistry book.

• AP Ponders: Will Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s Prayer Event Damage His Potential Presidential Bid?

  August 4, 2011 at 10:52am

  Gov. Perry wont get elected because he is a RINO. Ask any conservative in Texas and we will all tell you the same. He’s a good man, and its great in the midst of all of the Left and Atheist attacks on religion to see someone stand up for what they truly believe. However, this man is not what our country needs (though a talking taco that excretes ice cream would be better than BHO!)

  Herman Cain 2012! Candid. Consistent. Conservative.

• Politico: Biden Likens Tea Party Republicans to ‘Terrorists’

  August 2, 2011 at 9:38am

  Hey Biden, I think it pronounced “Constituents,” and where I come from, those words draw a line in the sand. Stand ready, my friends!

• Report: U.S. Soldier Arrested in Possible Second Attack on Ft. Hood

  “After Abdo’s arrest, a police searched his motel room and found gunpowder, shotgun shells, 18-pounds of sugar, a pressure cooker, four magazines and ammunition.”

  Whats the sugar for?

• More Fruit, Fewer Fries: Michelle Obama Might Have Taken the ‘Happy’ Out of McDonald’s Happy Meals

  Apples without the skin are essentially nutritionally devoid, so this is literally an empty gesture. And as if that wasn’t enough, in order to coerce children into consuming these natural pieces of Styrofoam, they include a diabetes-inducing amount of caramel to dip them in!

  A short list of the nutrients being thrown away are:
  Soluable Fiber
  Insoluable Fiber
  Quercitin – one of only two major sources (bolsters the immune system)
  Phenols – help stop chronic diseases, and an antioxident
  Antioxidents
  Pectin – which acts as a stool softener
  a flavonoid that’s supposed to help prevent heart attacks

  An apple WITH skin has 3 grams of fiber, or 13% of the recommended daily allowance
  An apple WITHOUT skin has 2 grams of fiber, or 7% of the RDA
  An apple WITH skin has 11% RDA of Vitamin C
  An apple WITHOUT skin has 9% RDA of Vitamin C
