    “Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors, and U.S. senators and congress members.” — Former President Jimmy Carter (ANTIMEDIA) Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated...

    New York Magazine ^ | April 14, 2016
    A woman attended a Yankees–Blue Jays game on Wednesday night and managed to make it through two entire innings before Googling the inevitable: "How long does a baseball game last?" The person sitting behind her posted a photo of the moment she realized she'd be stuck at a stadium in Toronto in early April for at least seven more innings. It probably wasn't the worst moment of her life, but I'd bet it came close. Of course, like all images on the internet, there's always the chance this one has been Photoshopped, but if it lies to us it's only...

    A hand grenade exploded inside courtroom in Karachi’s Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) after a judge asked a police constable if he knew how grenades worked. The constable, instead of explaining his expertise in weapons and grenade handling to the judge, opted to demonstrate practically by promptly pulling out the pin from the grenade. This resulted in a loud explosion, injuring three including the constable and a court clerk......

    Associated Press ^ | Apr 11, 2016 5:03 PM EDT | Seth Borenstein
    FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED ITS FORECASTS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. But in the age of social media that’s considered yelling, so next month federal meteorologists are lowering their voices and their letters — except in dire emergencies. Weather service spokeswoman Susan Buchanan said the agency started using all capital letters in 1849 forecasts because of the telegraph. Twenty years ago, the agency tried phasing out the practice, but old equipment wouldn’t recognize lower-case letters. …

    I took down my Rebel flag (which you CAN'T buy on ebay any more) and peeled the NRA sticker off the front door. I disconnected my home alarm system and quit the Neighborhood Watch. I went out and bought two Pakistani flags and put one at each corner of the front yard. Then I purchased the black flag of ISIS (which you CAN buy on ebay) and ran it up the flag pole. NOW, the local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching my house 24/7. I've NEVER felt safer and I'm...

    Staten Island Live ^ | April 08, 2016 | Mark D. Stein
    There's a difference between someone who lives on Staten Island and a real Staten Islander. What makes you an authentic resident of the forgotten borough? We'd love to hear your suggestions. For instance: Do you know these roads down to the location of each pothole? Have you ever gotten into a heated argument about which Island pizzeria is best? Do R-rated adjectives accompany any reference of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge toll? Any mention of that Tex-Mex restaurant just over the Outerbridge Crossing makes your mouth water. Is the best place to sit on the Staten Island Ferry the lower level, opposite...

    ALBANY, NY – With pressure mounting and the stakes sky high in New York’s fast approaching Democrat primary, Hillary Clinton has suggested that Bernie Sanders validate his pro-choice credentials by choosing to subject himself to a 298th trimester abortion. “But that’s insane! That would kill me!” protested Sanders at a New York City Feel the Bern rally attended by tens of thousands of non-aborted pro-choice progressives advocating for the right to murder children and steal the property of those left alive. “While I’m all for a woman’s right to murder her unborn child for any reason or no reason at...
