At this point, the only people who believe COVID did not leak from a Wuhan lab are diehards with I (Heart) Fauci bumper stickers. The evidence is clear: The pandemic was the result of irresponsible science. Here are 10 reasons why: 1. The “suicide” of the Wuhan lab collaborator, Dr. Yusen A key Chinese scientist who collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Dr. Zhou Yusen, filed for a patent for a COVID vaccine on February 24, 2020, according to documents obtained by The Australian.

These helpful robots are currently in four Giant/Martin’s stores in Pennsylvania and the brand plans to deploy them to all 171 Giant/Martin’s stores by the end of 2018.

Video LinkThis is a great story by Paddy Chayefsky.I love the Ernie Borgnine rendition and this one.Hope you enjoy it.

Yes, we know - it's 2015, the year Marty jumped to in Back to the Future 2 and you still don't have a hoverboard. Right on time, Lexus has presented the latest example from its "Amazing in Motion" series of video spectacles: the Lexus Hoverboard. As you can see in the video after the break, it certainly appears to hover, and smoke, but no one actually hops on the magnetically-levitating device for a ride. Gizmodo heard from the carmaker that this project has been in development over the last 18 months, but couldn't get more specific info on how it...

You’re Rep. Marty Meehan, and you were supposed to be in Miami today, basking in the Super Bowl XLI glow from YOUR New England Patriots. You had your reservations, dammit, but then something happened in Indianapolis, and now you’re back in Lowell. And on Friday in Boston you had a job interview - you, Marty Meehan, the congressman with the biggest campaign war chest of all 435 members of the House. Five million bucks. You’ve got so much cash they call you “Midas” Meehan, and now you’re interviewing for the job of chancellor of UMass-Lowell. When it comes to golden...

Sean, You spent a couple of months kissing Janine Pirro's arse - even though she is ever-so-slightly to the right of Hillary. We now have the opportunity to get behind a real conservative and your silence on John Spencer is stunning. I am tiring of your cheerleading for the Republican party, and as a conservative New Yorker, I am tired of being disenfranchised in the US Senate. Conservatives have made great strides on the Federal level but those battles are meaningless if we trade one set of shackles for another.

What's on the agenda today?

ITHACA--The outgoing Ithaca City Attorney has publicly called for the impeachment of President Bush, over reports that he authorized wiretapping for foreign intelligence purposes without judicial warrant following September 11.Writing in the Ithaca Journal, Marty Luster, a democrat, argues that the President and Vice President Cheney should be impeached, over what Luster characterizes as the administration's history of "lies," "secrecy" and "torture." As if the lies that took us to Iraq were not enough. As if the knowing use of bad intelligence wasn't enough. As if the ever- shifting justifications for this war were not enough. As if the...

You knew it was coming, the inevitable hearings in Washington about 'what went wrong' with the federal response to hurricane katrina. I have read reports from both side which paint FEMA either a well-oiled machine or a broken down Yugo. Marty Bahamonde arrived in the big easy before the storm hit and updated Mike Brown's staff as to what was occuring in the city before and after the storm hit. According to Bahamonde, two days after the storm he e-mailed a brown staffer as to the dire situation in the city. Three hours later Brown's press secretary sent out a...

Get him, Sean. BTW, the keywords change to alphabetical order, but I typed it "pathetic liberals, Marty stormed Normandy."

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico (AP) -- Hurricane Marty barreled toward the southern tip of Baja California on Monday, the second hurricane to threaten the popular resort region in less than a month. Residents who had barely finished cleaning up after Hurricane Ignacio hit in late August found themselves stocking up on emergency water and food supplies. Many nailed plywood over their windows, and residents living in low lying shantytowns were evacuated from their cardboard homes to shelters. Forecasters predicted the storm would hit land sometime early Monday near Cabo San Lucas, a resort town known for its golf courses,...
