  • What would happen if Sarah Palin suggested a more assertive US trade policy?

    (vanity)
    Sorry for back-to-back trade policy vanities. Was reviewing the posts just now, and got to pondering. The left reflexively opposes Sarah Palin. They don't know why, I think it's they're having flashbacks to Anita Bryant. Meanwhile the right, is in a coma, regarding our trade policies. Willfully ignoring the problem, IMHO. Solution to both problems:

    A group of on-duty Sanitation supervisors is under investigation for allegedly buying booze and chilling in their cozy department car for hours Monday night after the blizzard stranded a bus and three snowplows blocks away. The city Department of Investigation is probing the incident after witnesses said four snow blowers blew off their duties to get blitzed, buying two six-packs of beer from a Brooklyn bodega. The workers then walked five blocks to their car, which was in 20 inches of snow in the middle of 18th at McDonald avenues near the F train entrance, passing the stuck bus and...

    Terrorists are plotting deadly Christmas attacks in what could make for holiday travel chaos. Iraqi authorities have obtained confessions from captured insurgents who claim Al Qaeda is planning suicide attacks in the United States and Europe during the holiday season. Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani said that the botched bombing in central Stockholm last weekend was among the alleged plots the insurgents revealed.

    Delaware Way ^ | 11-9-2010 | Nancy Willing
    Don Ayotte, with the backing of a vociferous and determined, stacked house, demanded that a Sussex County Resolution be passed, censoring State Chairman Tom Ross for his actions concerning Christine O'Donnell during the Primary campaign and after. According to the resolution, Tom Ross had said "Christine O'Donnell could not be elected to dog catcher". He also "did not support O'Donnell properly after the Primary", according to the resolution in which O'Donnell upset Mike Castle in the wake of Tea Party support. Vitriol, shouting, and a total break down of order transpired. Ron Sams tried to explain that this action would...

    The American Thinker ^ | November 04, 2010 | J.R. Dunn
    The 19th century was the nursery for contemporary politics. Every form of modern political activity -- fascism, communism, socialism, liberalism -- has its roots in that epoch. (Yes, I'm fully aware of such figures as Locke, Burke, Madison, and Jefferson, but their work was hijacked and twisted all out of recognition, in large part by French revolutionaries and assorted German academics. Edmund Burke was so appalled by this that, having invented modern liberalism, he turned around and invented modern conservatism.) Anything coming out of the 19th century is going to be imbued with rationalism, the dominant intellectual credo of the...

    Benoît B. Mandelbrot, a maverick mathematician who developed an innovative theory of roughness and applied it to physics, biology, finance and many other fields, died Thursday in Cambridge, Mass. He was 85...Dr. Mandelbrot coined the term “fractal” to refer to a new class of mathematical shapes whose uneven contours could mimic the irregularities found in nature...In a seminal 1982 book, “The Fractal Geometry of Nature,” Dr. Mandelbrot defended mathematical objects that he said others had dismissed as “monstrous” and “pathological.” Using fractal geometry, he argued, the complex outlines of clouds and coastlines, once considered unmeasurable, could now “be approached in...

    It is just my opinion but I think there is going to be a "race" war started by Obama in the next few months. I put the word race in quotes because it is not strictly about race. It is not Black vs. White, despite the political divide and submerged hostility and the inability of the Obama Justice Department to enforce the law in a color-blind manner. I submit a few facts in support of my proposition: It has been published that with the impending loss of Democrats in the Congress that Obama intends to impliment his policies more through...

    BROWNSVILLE – Brownsville Police Chief Carlos Garcia says the border violence has officially crossed over into the Valley. Two Tamaulipas men were assassinated inside a truck Friday. The chief of police says the investigation has led them to believe this wasn’t a crime committed by someone in the US. “This was a hit ordered by the cartel,” he says. Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos isn’t surprised to see spillover violence in Brownsville. He says, “it was a matter of time before it trickled down to our community.” Residents say they didn't think it would become a reality. One woman who...

    <p>The universe was in chaos after the Big Bang kick-started the cosmos, a new study suggests.</p> <p>While one might expect the explosion that began the universe to wreak some havoc, scientists mean something very specific when they refer to chaos. In a chaotic system, small changes can cause large-scale effects. A commonly cited example is the "butterfly effect" — the idea that a butterfly beating its wing in Brazil can bring about a tornado in Texas.</p>

    The ill-fated Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, just 12 days away, has suffered another major setback after a footbridge near the event's main stadium collapsed, injuring at least 23 labourers, five of them seriously. Senior police official H S Dhaliwal said the steel arch supporting the 164-foot long foot-bridge collapsed outside the Nehru Stadium which is to host the opening and closing ceremonies and athletic events of India’s fortnight-long showpiece event beginning on Oct 3. The bridge, linking the car and bus parking lot to the stadium but now a mass of mangled steel, was to have transported thousands of...

    The body of a local official investigating the massacre of 72 Central and South American migrants has been found, a government source told a leading Mexican newspaper. El Universal said the body of Roberto Jaime Suarez was found on a highway. He disappeared two days ago in the town of San Fernando, along with a transit police officer. A second body was found and is thought to be the officer. Suarez was involved in the initial investigation of the massacre, which authorities have blamed on the Zetas drug cartel. The federal Attorney General's Office has since taken the lead in...

    Does anyone think this will be built? Americans on both sides of the aisle are opposed to this. Will civil/non-civil disobediance, sit ins, protests, and violence occur? My point is, who will protect the construction of this mosque? Show me an NYPD officer, state officer, Fed officer, or military officer who will protect the construction site? What are the consequences?

    For years, researchers such as Gerald Celente have been warning that the coming economic collapse is going to spark mob scenes and riots that are unprecedented in U.S. history. Many have scoffed at these predictions and have refused to believe that anything like that could ever happen in America. But if what happened on Wednesday near Atlanta is any indication, we could be on the verge of something really bad. 30,000 people turned out to pick up only 13,000 applications for government-subsidized housing. Some people had waited for over two days just to get their hands on an application. The...

    Members of the public who address the Boulder City Council during its meetings can not strip, shield their faces with masks, clap or stomp their feet, according to a proposed city policy. Anyone who violates the council's "Rules of Decorum" could face removal from the room by a Boulder police officer, possible criminal charges under municipal code and a 30-day ban from addressing the council. Critics say the rules could chill free speech, but city officials say they're needed to maintain order. The recommended changes -- which the council will vote on Sept. 7 -- were drafted by council members...

    Mexican drug traffickers' first car-bomb attack against police has revealed a new level of cold-blooded planning that is forcing this border city and security forces to change the way they confront violence. Police said La Linea drug gang — the same group blamed for the March killing of a U.S. consulate employee and her husband — lured federal officers and paramedics to the site of a car bomb by dressing a bound, wounded man in a police uniform and calling in a false report of an officer shot. The gang then exploded a car holding as much as 22 pounds...

    Many Mexican immigrants, legal or otherwise, see themselves as part of a process of retaking the United States that once was a part of Mexico. Recent Mexican law permits dual citizenship which tacitly supports this notion. This objective is aptly described by Jose Ramos, anchorman since 1986 on Noticieros, a Miami news program on Univision cable network, also seen in Mexico and 13 other Latin-American countries.
