Check out this amazing story of a man who used his iphone to survive the Haiti earthquake.

About Himalayan glaciers. Of course they don’t want that admission as headlined as the initial statement was.
What Pat Robertson said was inexcusable and unchristian, despite the fact that he claims to speak for Christians (and conservatives). In my opinion, he speaks for neither and deserves to be called out whenever he says something that ridiculous. However, he’s not the only one to make such claims: global warming environmentalists have said the same thing, and about other tragedies too, such as Katrina – and the media has not called them on it, or broadcast such statements. It is only Christianity and Conservativism that they love to bash.
Just like the Obama campaign, the press was abandoning all pretense of neutrality during this Massachusetts Senate race. Just listen to the ranting and crying at MSNBC, or take a look at this AP article. Honestly, is the dinosaur media good for anything other than laughs at this point?
I know Coakley already conceded, but in case things were close, she was prepared to fight to the end. She even had allegations of fraud all lined up for the Brown campaign. Isn’t it interesting though that she forgot to remove Monday’s date from some of the allegations? How could there have been any fraud before there were any votes?
Coakley conceded a mere half hour after the polls closed! Unbelievable – she got stomped! I never thought I would see anything like this happen in Massachusetts, and I never thought my vote would count for much here either, the elections are always uncontested straight for the Dems.
Hopefully this election wakes up both parties. The Republicans should realize they didn’t win this election: Scott Brown didn’t run with the rest of the Republican party, and they didn’t back him, he practically ran on his own. With a bit of help from the tea party movement. Democrats are definitely realizing they just lost a Senate seat they’ve held for decades in one of their strongest states, although very few of them probably possess the self-analytical capability to reevaluate their policies and ideals. Democratic voters and representatives have taken too much on blind religious faith. At least victory isn’t going to be one of those things anymore.
Hopefully voters also wake up: the greatest tragedy of politics in this country is that voters haven’t been paying attention, when they need to every step of the way – we can’t have good representatives if we don’t have good candidates, which we won’t have unless we have serious competitions. From now on, everything goes contested, hopefully.
If we don’t step in, the anti-American sentiment is for standing by on the side. If we do, it’s for “occupying”, or other nonsense. Heck, the same thing happened during the tsunami. This is precisely why it’s ridiculous to make decisions based on whether people will like us more or not, as so many people did when voting for Obama.
I expect the Democrats will try and hold the vote anyways. In politics it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
We’ve seen wii controllers used for all sorts of other cool hacks. Now some researchers have found that the Wii balance board compares favorably to an $18,000 medical device. Once again gaming technology makes the world a better place, and not just for entertainment.
It’s been proposed that part of their phenomena is caused by faster than light electromagnetic “sonic booms”.
Or lack thereof, to be precise. Unions and Democrats are routinely found, again and again, to be embezzling massive amounts of money, with barely a whisper from the media.
And just think how much cleaner our society would be if the media actually tried to root out corruption from that entire half of our political body? That’s the real disservice having such a biased media does to us.
I think Link notices some inconsistencies in Obama’s position from his speech on Scott Brown.
Actually, they’re for a pretty serious problem many people have to deal with. But even though they don’t give any sort of superpower, they’re still cool.
The chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee makes an unbelievably ironic comparison to Chappaquiddick in talking about why people shouldn’t vote for Brown. Hilarious!
The thing the Democrats haven’t been bringing up (of course) in all the attack ads against Republicans is the fact that not only have they been at the steering wheel of economic policy since 2006, but that the very policies that brought things tumbling down were housing and lending policies that Republicans tried to reform multiple times, only to be stymied by Democratic blockading. It lends the Democrat ads an amazing air of chutzpah.
There’s a remarkable lack of exit polling going on…
Sure, maybe originally they didn’t think it would be a close race, but it didn’t become interesting enough to poll on in the past couple weeks?
