    If you're gonna be a master of sneaky pete, a master meddler, you'd better be sure your sneaky schemes work. Obama's didn't. Which is how he's found himself in this predicament, according to New York Post columnist, Miranda Devine, who cited findings from a new book by a couple of reporters: It used to be said that President Joe Biden was serving former President Obama’s third term, that his former boss was controlling him from the home he had bought in DC’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood, two miles from the White House. The feeling was that Obama was the real leader...
  • From Occupy Wall Street to Occupy America: A mass movement emerges; Reports from around USA

    SolidaritéS (Switzerland) via International Viewpoint -- A handful of young people started Occupy Wall Street in mid-September, as a protest against the banks and corporations that have grown rich while most have grown poorer. Within weeks they had attracted hundreds and then thousands to marches and demonstrations in New York City — one of them leading to the arrest of hundreds on the Brooklyn Bridge. The movement's chant “We are the 99%" rang out not only in the Wall Street canyon but also across the country. Now there are scores of Occupy groups across the United States [and soon across...

    Like people all over the country, Gary Patronek, a veterinarian who teaches at Tufts University, heard the bizarre story of Ruth Knueven and her 488 cats -- 222 of them dead, and most of the others so wild and sick that they had to be euthanized. Knueven, 82, charged with five misdemeanors, including animal cruelty, became a public curiosity last week after Fairfax County officials hauled the cats and carcasses out of her home in Mount Vernon and her daughter's townhouse in Burke. Both residences, filthy and damaged, were declared unfit for habitation until repairs are made. In the Mount...

    NORWALK, Conn. -- An employee of the town clerk's office has filed suit saying she has severe allergies to perfumes and other chemicals and city officials have done little to limit her exposure. Linda Gorman, who joined the staff in October 1995, began having problems in March 2002, when Town Clerk Andrew Garfunkel hired a temporary staffer whose perfume made Gorman ill. Garfunkel circulated a memo asking workers not to wear perfumes or colognes. He later amended the policy to state that scented materials, such as body lotions and detergents, could be used in moderation as long as they could...
  • Kerry Sticks Finger In Marine's Chest -- NOT! Here's the Proof

    The question is: "Is Kerry sticking his bony, well-manicured, girly, index finger in the chest of the Marine pictured here?" The answer is "No." After optimizing the pic with Photoshop and Image Optimizer, what looks like Kerry's finger is actually the top piece of a wooden frame that holds a mirror and is attached to the window. There is another mirror just like it behind the Marine, to the right of his elbow.
