Democratic Oregon Rep. Maxine Dexter screamed out during a rally Monday the party faithful need to “*&*&” President Donald Trump. The Daily Caller reports the obscenity came as the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) gathered on Capitol Hill and rallied “to save the civil service” and oppose Trump’s push to reduce the size of the federal government’s workforce through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Dexter was seen at the podium addressing protesters before calling out Trump and teasing her supporters to not “tell her children” before she spoke. “I’ve been told I have 30 seconds, so I am...

<p>While much of the Beatles‘ early work had been comprised of love songs, and towards the end of the 1960s, the changing political state of the world had influenced the Fab Four – and particularly the most revolutionary amongst them, John Lennon – to avert their attention to the global events that were affecting the collective consciousness of society at the time.</p>

CNN treated Marco Rubio reaching for a sip of water like he'd fumbled the ball away in the last seconds of the Super Bowl. "Social media is all about this," joked CNN's Chris Cuomo, as he reenacted Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) reaching for a water bottle during the February 12 CNN commentary on President Obama's State of the Union address. CNN then cut to a video of Rubio drinking water during his response to the President's speech. The whole scene played out like commentary from a football game, complete with instant replay of the "blunder."

May or may not be news to Netflix subscribers, but I just noticed that they've added the first 7 seasons of '24', to their 'Watch Instantly' lineup. That's good news to *me* at least. ;o)

Several years back, I had a summer with a goodly amount of free time, and I got a Netflix membership, at $19.99/mnth, 3 DVDs out at a time. It seemed like a good deal, but after a month or so, I noticed no matter how quickly I watched and mailed back the DVds, it was no better than renting movies from the local shop.. The movies just didn't "turn around" all that fast, and I assumed it was beacuse they all came from a California distribution center. So after a few months, I discontinued the service. a year or so...

President Barack Obama acknowledged in a major economic speech Tuesday that "times are still tough" and warned that a culture of "instant gratification" had produced neglect of major national problems that wound up undermining the economy. "By no means are we out of the woods just yet," the president said in remarks at Georgetown University. "But from where we stand, for the very first time, we are beginning to see glimmers of hope. And beyond that, way off in the distance, we can see a vision of an America’s future that is far different than our troubled economic past. Obama...

The woman who can remember everything Last updated: 10:15 AM BST 09/05/2008 A woman who has baffled doctors with her ability to remember every detail of every day has broken her anonymity to speak of her condition. Jill Price, 42, can remember every part of her life since she was 14 but considers her ability a curse as she cannot switch off. She described her life as like a split-screen television, with one side showing what she is doing in the present, and the other showing the memories which she cannot hold back. Every detail about every day since 1980...

NEW YORK - Talk about an "instant" book. Within two hours of I. Lewis Libby's conviction Tuesday for lying and obstruction of justice, a publisher announced plans for a paperback release about the trial of Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff. "Like the published reports from the 9/11 Commission and the Iraq Study Group, the CIA leak case warrants a definitive book based upon the Libby trial record," Philip Turner, editorial director of Sterling Publishing's Union Square Press imprint, said in a statement. "The United States v. I. Lewis Libby," which will include testimony and original reporting, will...

Since new CIA Director Porter Goss blocked the October Surprise agency left-wingers had prepared against Bush (discussed in “Porter At The Pass” last week), they desperately rigged another one, working with Mohammad ElBaradei at the UN. What nobody is focusing on in Al Qaqaagate is that the CIA is behind it. The anti-Bush lefties are now known as the “Rogue Weasels” at Langley, and they are frantic to do whatever they can to elect Kerry. They cooked up this entire phony “tons of missing explosives” scandal, sweet-talked the head of the UN’s nuclear inspection agency, ElBaradei, to carry their water...

<p>WASHINGTON – A federal test program that allows employers to instantaneously determine if a new hire has a legal right to work in the United States is in jeopardy of being shut down as Congress debates whether to make the service available nationwide.</p>

Scientists claim to invent instant translator Scientists claim to have invented an instant translator which will allow people talking on phones in different languages to understand each other. A research team from Rousse in Bulgaria claim to have patented the technology which converts words spoken in one language into digital code which can then be immediately interpreted into another language. The translator chip can be inserted into any phone, the scientists claim. Project leader Koycho Mitev told BTV national television: "A person can talk freely on the phone in their mother tongue and at the other end of the world...

ST. LOUIS - (KRT) - Peer pressure, gossip and even compromising photographs have been part of high school for generations. But now that many teenage conversations have moved from school hallways to the Internet, locker room fodder can devastate young lives almost instantly. A recent incident at Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School in Ladue, Mo., made that clear. When a female student consented to send a male classmate a revealing photo of herself over the Internet, the photo ended up circulating online not only among students at MICDS but also among those at many other private and...

We live our lives in urgencee, instant oatmeal, instant grits,coffee and tea, and bastard muslims attacked us instantlee- but there'll be no instant victoree. They hide in places worms would shun, unrepentent for the things they've done, still filled with hate they lurk and wait, to bring to innocents, a tragic fate. Each day we hear the wimpy moan: "this war is dragging on and on." "It's been a year" we hear them say, "can't someone make it go away ?" Too blind to see the facts of life, they seem to view this time of strife, as something that...
