I know many of you think I am prehistoric or well a nut job. I came across some vids I had seen when I was once a youngling in 1978. This is a special, narrated by Leonard Nimoy, about climate change. Watch it first and then say I shouldn't be skeptical when people claim the sky is falling.

I had a bout of pneumonia this week and somehow I got caught up at watching a few posts of the Young Turks on You Tube. I have spent several hours now watching some of these wonderful videos. God I love this show. Hopefully , soon I will be joining as a full time supporter. For years , I have wanted to see a newscast that was real, and have not found one ( with exception of Rachael Maddow), ever. I reveled in watching some of the old Sarah Palin , shows when John McClain first announced his intentions. I love this evening when you were able to show the woman being arrested for speaking out. I am so very glad that I have someone I can listen to now. Right wing radio has a way of alluring one into that madness. This is the first time in my life that I truly feel real, listening and watching people that I am in agreement with. I am sixty five years young. I am so excited and happy that I found you. Finally. ! Whew! More later. Now I can recover and just listen and listen an not sit alone in total disbelief. You, Young Turks are setting me free. Wow! Thank You!

Hey TYT, I hope you know that but just installing a firefox plugin you can download the majority of internet clips. Like anything from youtube for one. That way there's no loading issues etc, no getting stuck. You download the .flv and can play at will.
Back me up people.

It is becoming increasingly clear that with the move to Gold and Silver, investors are abandoning the dollar in ever increasing numbers. Asians are abandoning in droves as this article hints:

I was watching CNN this morning. The silly anchors seemed to be almost aroused by talking about the 150 people who died in Alabama last night due to the tornadoes (many other fatalities occurred in other states too). They LOVE this sensational stuff with great video. As usual, however, no perspective. I'd like to know how many people die in Alabama every night.
So I did some quick research. The mortality rate in the US is 8 deaths per year for every 1000 people. Assigning that figure to Alabama, with its population of 4.7 million, that comes out to 103 deaths in Alabama every night under normal circumstances. OK, so now that I know this, it doesn't diminish the terrible destructive impact of these tornadoes one bit. I just have it all in perspective, and now you do too.

Liberals like MRFraud and Cenk Uneducated and EveningStupid are complete imbeciles on the subject of energy!
Listening to liberals whine about gasoline pricing conspiracies is quite entertaining.
They want to beat me up over my H2 Hummer, but they're completely oblivious to massive coal burning and global deforestation when talking about the Global warming hoax.

Both Hamas and Fatah have reconciled their differences and agreed to form a unity government for a new Palestinian State. This comes after weeks of international campaigns for Palestinian recognition in the UN. As the Palestinians inch closer to international statehood and recognition, Israel has not yet given up. Netanyahu plans on launching a new line of attack, by claiming unity with Hamas discredits any Palestinian government because Hamas is still recognized as a terrorist group by the US, EU, and Israel. Netanyahu plans on fighting the UN General Assembly, when the scheduled vote to make Palestine a State (just like the way Israel was created, ironically) comes up. Yet, the majority in the General Assembly support Palestinian recognition, and unlike the Security Council, the US does not have veto power. Israel is virtually helpless in the General Assembly, and if Palestine is recognized as a state, well it will be a lot tougher for Israel to continue settlements and military incursions, as well as blockades. I also must note that Hamas-Fatah reconciliation was a pre-requisite to a peace plan set down by non other than, wait for it...the United States. Whether we hold up that now, is an open question. Will the US defy the international community and isolate itself with Israel, or join the community of nations who say Palestine has a right to exist. If Israel truly wants peace, then they have a really strange way of showing it.

Why wont Donald Trump tell us how large a donation his father had to make to the University of Pennsylvania for Donald to get into the Wharton School, when he didn't get into Harvard or Columbia.

Very interesting article about the definition of "natural born citizen" from Forbes. I'm sure it won't stop racist rants form birthers but I find it interesting that the media never used this information to fire back at all this nonsense. At least, I've never heard this argument before until now.

Without any discussion, the press announces Gen Petraeus is Obama's pick to be the new CIA director. Since when does a former General run the CIA, former being recently former. How many more civilian agencies will be run by generals?
