Another victim to religion http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/...oore-gun-range
Newly released notes and audio recordings left behind by a woman who shot her son and then took her own life leave little doubt that she planned the attack.
In rambling messages to family, friends, police and the owners of Shoot Straight, the Casselberry gun range she chose for Sunday's fatal shooting, Marie Moore said the murder-suicide was the only way to save her son Mitchell Moore, her family and the world from violence and eternal damnation.
"I'm so sorry," Marie Moore, 44, wrote in one note. "I had to send my son to heaven and myself to Hell."

Gore says, "The heavy snowfalls this month have been used as fodder for ridicule by those who argue that global warming is a myth, yet scientists have long pointed out that warmer global temperatures have been increasing the rate of evaporation from the oceans, putting significantly more moisture into the atmosphere — thus causing heavier downfalls of both rain and snow in particular regions, including the Northeastern United States."
It's an interesting theory, but where are the facts?
According to "State of the Climate" from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "Global precipitation in 2009 was near the 1961-1990 average." And there was certainly no pattern of increasing rain and snow on America's East Coast during the post-1976 years, when NOAA says the globe began to heat up.
So what was it, exactly, that Gore's nameless scientists "have long pointed out"? A 2008 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, "Climate Change and Water," says climate models "project precipitation increases in high latitudes and part of the tropics." In other areas, the IPCC reports only "substantial uncertainty in precipitation forecasts."

Think Muslims are the only ones who view women as slave creatures? So do we. At least, some of us.

A new Utah law could charge women with homicide if they miscarry, making women's rights advocates concerned that women will be brought up on murder charges for drinking, failing to wear a seatbelt, or falling down the stairs.

Read the article... This has already passed the legislature and could soon become law. It really is as backward and scary as it sounds.
Women are objects, after all. Right?
*sigh*

The bill's centerpiece is a tax credit for employers who hire new workers—a measure Democrats hope will motivate business owners to hire.
Employers wouldn't have to pay their 6.25% share of federal payroll taxes for the rest of 2010 for any new workers that have been unemployed for at least 60 days. If that employee was still on the books in a year, the business owner would receive an additional $1,000 tax credit.

Seriously? Seriously?
Interviewer: How long have you been out of work?
Candidate: Oh, I'm not. I'm pretty good at my job. Just looking to progress my career, ya know. I see a great future with your company and think I'd be a valuable asset.
Interviewer: Oh, sorry. We're looking for someone who's been un-hirable for at least 60 days.
Later that day...
Interviewer: So, how long have you been out of work?
Candidate: Beaver Monkey Dishwasher! Purple!
Interviewer: Longer than 60 days?
Candidate: I engineer! ENGINEER! I make things go BING! BADA! PURPLE! MONKEY!
Interviewer: You sound perfect. You can start today!
*sigh*
Or how about the companies who decide to lay off workers for 60 days, re-hire them, then lay off a different set of workers for 60 days?
Is there any logic left in our congress critters? Any at all? Has there ever been any?
For the love of Snarf, stop meddling with the fucking economy you damned dirty apes. It will do just fine without you :/
Canadian politicians won't even use Canada's health care institution Why? Because it sucks. That's what you get with socialized medicine--the poor get better care, yes; but the affluent population suffers. Unless they leave their socialized "paradise," of course. :)

The 60-year-old Williams said doctors detected a heart murmur last spring and told him that one of his heart valves wasn't closing properly, creating a leakage.
He said he was told at the time that the problem was "moderate" and that he should come back for a checkup in six months.
Eight months later, in December, his doctors told him the problem had become severe and urged him to get his valve repaired immediately or risk heart failure, he said.
His doctors in Canada presented him with two options - a full or partial sternotomy, both of which would've required breaking bones, he said.
He said he spoke with and provided his medical information to a leading cardiac surgeon in New Jersey who is also from Newfoundland and Labrador. He advised him to seek treatment at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami.
That's where he was treated by Dr. Joseph Lamelas, a cardiac surgeon who has performed more than 8,000 open-heart surgeries.
Williams said Lamelas made an incision under his arm that didn't require any bone breakage.
"I wanted to get in, get out fast, get back to work in a short period of time," the premier said.
