More school: Obama would curtail summer vacation http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090927/ap_on_re_us/us_more_school WASHINGTON – Students beware: The summer vacation you just enjoyed could be sharply curtailed if President Barack Obama gets his way. Obama says American kids spend too little time in school, putting them at a disadvantage with other students around the globe. "Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas," the president said earlier this year. "Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and probably not in yours. But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom." The pr…

Unhygienic German men voted the worst in bed while lazy English come second in the battle between the sheets By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 1:10 AM on 29th September 2009 Comments (63) Add to My Stories First the good news. English men make better lovers than the Germans. Now the bad news. We are trailing behind the rest of the world when it comes to the language of love. What was it that led 15,000 well-travelled women to come to such an ignominious conclusion? The famous English reserve, perhaps, or maybe the equally well known trend for bad teeth? Sex scores: German men have been voted the world's worst lovers thanks…

Fresh doubts over Hitler's death after tests on bullet hole skull reveal it belonged to a woman By Mail Foreign Service Last updated at 8:19 PM on 27th September 2009 Comments (48) Add to My Stories Adolf Hitler may not have shot himself dead and perhaps did not even die in his bunker, it emerged yesterday. A skull fragment believed for decades to be the Nazi leader’s has turned out to be that of a woman under 40 after DNA analysis. Scientists and historians had long thought it to be conclusive proof that Hitler shot himself in the head after taking a cyanide pill on 30 April 1945 rather than face the ignominy of capture.

Who Killed California? We will learn over the next decade whether California can manage to avoid disaster one more time. But even if the state's years of living large finally catch up with it, there is still an escape hatch: Sensible Californians can continue to flee to places like Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, and Texas, where the respite from hostile government more than compensates for the social opprobrium that tends to meet California expatriates. The story of California has always been a great American tale of triumph over long odds. Since its entry into the Union, in the aftermath of war and the midst of gold fever, the state has seemed an improbable col…

NCDC now has December 2008 in the database. Annual North American temperature since 1998 (11 years of data) is falling over the period at a rate of 0.78(F)/decade or 7.8(F)per century. At this rate we will be in an ice age within 5 decades. If you can get the graphic, the heavy black line is the average over the century 1901 to 2000. This data set is a collection of this continent only, but it shows the same cooling trend that other global data sets have shown. Since 1998 the Earth is cooling and it happens to coincide with a similar period of unusually low solar activity. Of course we realize that to many people, including many radicalized professors, global warmin…

Why Are 15 Million Americans Unemployed When 8.3 Million Illegals Have Jobs? Immigration Moratorium Now! One of the President's campaign promises, made often in the Midwestern Rustbelt, was to renegotiate NAFTA. It was a popular policy among hard-hit workers who understand how globalized trade has directly harmed them, since NAFTA sent thousands of jobs to Mexico and turned a moderate trade surplus into a loss. Senator Sherrod Brown estimated that NAFTA caused the loss of 200,000 manufacturing jobs in Ohio alone. President Obama still plans an amnesty in the near, though unspecific, future, according to threats continuing to burble out of the White House. That’…

Speaking to Katie Couric about the holocaust victims, Ahmadinejad said that "60 million people lost their lives, equally." 2 things: Ahmadinejad is an idiot. Why does CBS give this evil man a personal interview, and try to do their worst on Americans?

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/business/the_dead_end_kids_AnwaWNOGqsXMuIlGONNX1K Obama's biggest supporters are left out to dry. Again, we see that government is primarily an agent of wealth redistribution - steal from the young to give to the old. The old who have had their entire lives to save, and who are continually looking for ways to make other people pay for their medicine, their homes, their retirement, their crappy piece-of-shit cars, their children's education, their etc. And this is what they'll be doing while you're working your ass off for the next 50 years: Enjoy.
