"Lowest ever: Obama job approval sinks to 39% as even Democrats’ support melts away"
Don’t panic, though, progressives. This is less a problem with your God than it is with the way His Message is being crafted and disseminated by His acolytes and high priests. I blame Fox News. Oh. And racism, naturally.

"Divided We Eat" (the Rich)
Newsweek, on yet the next justification for wealth “sharing” and economic “fairness”: weight disparity: While obesity is a complex problem—genetics, environment, and activity level all play a role—a 2008 study by the USDA found that children and women on food stamps were likelier to be overweight than those who were not.

"IPCC Official: 'Climate Policy Is Redistributing The World's Wealth'"
You don’t say! And here I thought they actually believed that exhalation / plant food is a pollutant. Okay, not really. But I’m an asshole. What’s your excuse?

"Exclusive Excerpts From New Black Panther Case Investigation Report"
“The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is set to consider a draft report of its investigation tomorrow. Some details of the report have been leaked to PJM”: This case was unique in one vital aspect almost from its beginning — the existence of a visual recording of the New Black Panthers in their paramilitary, fascist-style uniforms, one holding a night stick, blocking the entrance to a polling place.
