Here is the 411 on Nebraska's three Congressmen (listed below in the comment's section). Write/call to them and say NO to amnesty!!!

This is a great show of 3 Big turbine remote controlled A-10's blowing away cardboard tanks. Yes, look carefully, there are tank displays out there at the end of the field. This is basically just awesome. For more information about the Desert Jet Storm Rally in Phoenix, the schedule, and registration, please visit their website at: http://www.speedworldrcf.com

Lynda Obst, producer of blockbusters including Sleepless in Seattle and The Fisher King, says Hollywood is in serious trouble. In her new book, Sleepless in Hollywood, Obst says that thanks to the crash and burn of the DVD industry, the entire Hollywood profit model is at risk. She says an industry leader told her, “The DVD business represented fifty percent of their profits … Fifty percent. The decline of that business means their entire profit could come down between forty and fifty percent for new movies.” Major actors and actresses are seeing their pay slashed. Directors and writers are watching...

Sometimes it’s really tough being a conservative in the Republican Party. But Gov. Palin makes it bearable. 12. “If there’s any protesters here, speak now or forever hold your peace because facing the protesters, facing the critics, that’s something I do well.” 11. ”Well, the IRS. It can’t figure out how it managed to spend over $4 million in a training conference because it didn’t keep its receipts. Really!? You try that with the IRS.”

I'm in the process of interviewing for a job and the application lists references (which I listed) but they want to talk with former employers. NE has a law stating that former employers can talk about former employees (within certain bounds). A few years ago, I had falling out with a former boss where she verbally snapped at me (within ear shot of other workers). In addition, I was having problems with my father's health (terminal cancer) and the closing out of his estate (messy situation). I explained my condition to the HR department and I offered two weeks notices....

Russia's dash-cams prove yet again their infinite entertainment value. This bear--this stupid bear who runs right into traffic--gets slammed full-speed by a car, and there's some head-over-heels action, some spinning upside-down in the mud, and a moment of pure bewilderment as it finally regains control of its body. Physics, what a trip.

An economic analysis of what is in spent nuclear fuel. As a nuclear reactor fissions heavy metal U235 and Pu239, the atoms are split into two randomly sized pieces. Many of these fission products are unstable and rapidly decay into other products. After nuclear reactor fuel has cooled in a pool of water for a few years, and then sat in dry cask storage for another 10--30 years, what is it made of? Is it dangerous waste that needs to be isolated from humanity for 100,000 years or is it precious material waiting to be partitioned and sold? The answer...

My last article about thorium as an alternative nuclear reactor fuel drew way more readers than I expected. I intentionally glossed over the complexities of specific reactor designs for the sake of simplicity, but in this article I want to go deeper. This article explains some of the differences between traditional uranium reactors and molten salt thorium reactors (MSRs).

PublicPolicyPolling ‏ @ppppolls Cruz is up 55-40 with those who already voted so Dewhurst really needs a huge election day turnout to have any chance Also...FYI.... 31% of Texas runoff voters more likely to support a Palin endorsed candidate to only 16% for one backed by Perry

(SNIPETS...best parts IMHO) The two most recent public polls have shown Cruz ahead. And a Dewhurst ally with knowledge of an internal survey separate from the campaigns told POLITICO his preferred candidate was trailing by high single digits heading into the weekend. “I think [Dewhurst’s] done,” said the Republican who shared the information in exchange for anonymity. “It’s Nebraska, Indiana. You just smell it. He’s toast.” ”There’s an intangible feeling out there that he’s got the momentum,” Utah Sen. Mike Lee said of Cruz. The two appeared together at a FreedomWorks convention in Dallas Thursday night. “He’s a genius …...

Ensuring election integrity is a fundamental responsibility of government at all levels. The U.S. Constitution vests the primary responsibility for election integrity in state officials, but federal law supplements state law to ensure that only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections and to prevent vote dilution in any district by those who are not lawfully eligible to vote. With an increasingly mobile society and greater use of mail-in and early voting, it becomes harder for officials to prevent voter fraud and guarantee a fair election.
