    Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this: Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....?? WAY TOO COOL!

    In a press release issued late Wednesday, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs expressed consternation over reports that Health Canada has shipped body bags to northern Manitoba native communities as preparation for the onslaught of the winter flu season. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) is calling for an "immediate investigation" into the reports that body bags were received by northern Manitoba communities. "We are as alarmed and disturbed as the chiefs of the northern First Nations with reports that Health Canada shipped body bags as part of its pandemic preparedness plan," said the AMC in their press release

    CARACAS, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Venezuela will pull the plug on 29 more radio stations, a top official in President Hugo Chavez's government said on Saturday, just weeks after dozens of other outlets were closed in a media clampdown. Infrastructure Minister Diosdado Cabello closed 34 radio stations in July, saying the government was "democratizing" media ownership. Critics say the move limits freedom of expression and has taken critical voices off the airwaves.
  • 'Obvious' Studies? Cheap Beer Makes College Students Drink More

    The cheaper the beer, the more of it that college students will drink. Men are more open than women to a stranger's proposition for sex. The opposite sex looks more attractive after a few drinks. Share New study underscores the problem of binge drinking on college campuses. To many, the above statements may seem obvious. But to some researchers, they may be the starting point for months of study, culminating in published research. But is such research worth the time, effort and money that goes into it? For some topics, the surprising answer may be yes. In the case of...
  • Schwarzenegger Administration Floats 25-cent Fee on Single-Use Plastic and Paper Bags

    Weeks after rejecting a Democrat-backed fee proposal to keep state parks open, the Schwarzenegger administration is proposing shoppers be assessed a 25 cent fee for each single-use paper or plastic bag – up to $2.00 per transaction – to pay for a variety of state recycling efforts. “Requiring stores to charge and remit a fee for the distribution of single-use carryout bags will help the state and local governments to offset the environmental and social costs of single-use carryout bags,” says a summary of the idea which, sources say, has been discussed with members of both the Governor’s Office and...

    Damn Interesting ^ | 29 July 2009 | Jason Bellows
    Written by Jason Bellows on 29 July 2009 Marvin Heemeyer of Granby, Colorado was a profoundly frustrated muffler repair man. In the late 1990s–after years of protests, petitions, and town meetings–it became obvious to the 52-year-old that he was entwined in a gross miscarriage of justice. His business was ruined by some shady zoning changes, and Heemeyer contended that mayor and city council were corrupt. Even as he was forced to give up his legal fight and sell his land, he hatched one last plan to secretly retool his muffler shop to serve a single malevolent purpose: to construct a...
  • Notes from Underground Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn on North Coast living

    A couple of Saturdays ago, my friend Ken Malcomson and I had just sat down to interview Bernardine Dohrn and her husband, Bill Ayers, at the Arcata Co-op, where they'd just purchased a cartful of groceries to take into the mountains. A young stranger came up to the table. "I'm sorry to interrupt," she said, "but I just wanted to say how much I admire you both, and what you do." A lot of people know about Ayers and Dohrn. Leaders of the radical left group Weather Underground in the late '60s and the '70s. One-time fugitives. Recent lightning rods...
  • Speaker Pelosi violates our 1rst ammendmant Rights!

    The first ammendment gives each of us the right to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The townhall meetings are a perfect place for such redress. In a concerted effort the Democrats, lead by Speaker Pelosi, are trying to intimidate any dissenters by painting them as mobs, paid schills and her latest as Nazis. I'm not a Lawyer so I don't know if this a technical violation but it certainly violates the spirit of the first ammendment.
