British fertility clinic raffling human egg
"A British fertility clinic said Sunday it was raffling off a human egg this week to promote its 'baby profiling' service, which it insists is legal under UK law.
The winner can select the egg donor by education, upbringing and racial background."
Do the libs who support this really understand what's going on here?
I think not.

Democrats Dump Student Aid Overhaul Into Health Care Bill
Democrats Dump Student Aid Overhaul Into Health Care Bill
"If a yearlong struggle to pass sweeping health care reform that will affect every American wasn't enough for Democrats, they have now decided to add a sweeping overhaul of student aid to the bill.
That means Democrats will try to muscle through two top administration priorities using a bare-knuckled tactic called reconciliation that only requires the approval of a simple majority in the Senate and prevents Republicans from killing the bills through filibusters."

The Coming Greek Debt Bubble
The Coming Greek Debt Bubble « The Baseline Scenario
"The French and Germans are apparently actually encouraging banks, pension funds, and individuals to buy these bonds – despite the fact senior politicians must surely know this is a Ponzi scheme, i.e., people can get out of Greek bonds only to the extent that new investors come in."

American Thinker: 'Are Liberals, Atheists More Evolved than Conservatives?'
American Thinker: 'Are Liberals, Atheists More Evolved than Conservatives?'
"The National Geographic headline is therefore characteristically absurd, but it's also typical of the cultural Left today -- and of its hopeless cravings to validate itself as being smarter, better-educated, and of course, more compassionate than those conservative throwbacks to a brute past.
Somehow the Left always needs to boast, and like any other compulsive boaster, it is compensating for its own feelings of inferiority.
I suspect that that's the real inner nature of the Left:
Most of its followers worry about their personal adequacy in life."

Bob Shallit: IRS visits Sacramento carwash in pursuit of 4 cents - Sacramento Business, Housing Market News Sacramento Bee
"The really odd part of this: The letter that was hand-delivered to Zeff's on-site manager showed the amount of money owed to the feds was ... 4 cents.
Inexplicably, penalties and taxes accruing on the debt – stemming from the 2006 tax year – were listed as $202.31, leaving Harv's with an obligation of $202.35."

The Big Wind-Power Cover-Up
The Big Wind-Power Cover-Up - Investors.com
"Scandal: Spain exposed the boondoggle of wind power in 2009, discrediting an idea touted by the Obama administration. In response, U.S. officials banded with trade lobbyists to hide the facts.
It was a cold day at the Energy Department when researchers at King Juan Carlos University in Spain released a study showing that every 'green job' created by the wind industry killed off 4.27 other jobs elsewhere in the Spanish economy."

Firefighters told to 'use common sense' - The Scotsman
Firefighters told to 'use common sense' - The Scotsman
"Fire services will be told to follow new 'non-bureaucratic' guidelines and take a 'sensible' approach to hazardous incidents under a new policy unveiled by the Health and Safety Executive.
HSE chiefs said the guidelines aimed to ensure firefighters could do their jobs properly without employers flouting safety legislation. Brigade unions welcomed the ruling, saying a balance had to be struck between safety rules and allowing fire crews to do their job.
But one MP called for a complete overhaul of safety guidelines and their impact on rescues after the conclusion of a fatal accident inquiry into the death of Alison Hume.
The 44-year-old, from Galston in Ayrshire, spent six hours at the bottom of a pit because Strathclyde Fire and Rescue was banned from using rope equipment to rescue members of the public.
Mrs Hume, who suffered head and chest injuries after plunging 60ft, died shortly after being brought to the surface from the disused shaft 120 yards from her home."

Divided board votes for new school history standards
Divided board votes for new school history standards Houston & Texas News Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
"Mary Helen Berlanga, D-Corpus Christi, said the standards ignore the Ku Klux Klan in Texas, Texas Rangers “killing Mexican-Americans without justification” and the U.S. Army's role in the attempted extermination of American Indians.
“Until we are ready to tell the truth about history, we don't have a good history or a good social studies curriculum for Texas,” she said.
She had failed in an attempt earlier in the meeting to get the history standards to identify Tejanos who fell defending the Alamo."
We sometimes forget that some of our elected officials HATE our country.
We must not let them redefine our American history!
Will we continue to let them brainwash our children?

Health Care BS - MASSA: HOUSE PASSES GOP RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE WHAT PELOSI KNEW & WHEN
Health Care BS - MASSA: HOUSE PASSES GOP RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE WHAT PELOSI KNEW & WHEN
"Needless to say, the Republicans smelled a rat. A senior GOP aide put it as follows:
This is completely unacceptable … What are Democrats on the ethics committee afraid of? What is the Democratic leadership hiding?
To find out what ”leadership” knew and when, the GOP offered a privileged resolution calling for an investigation of how Massa’s case was handled—and it passed:
The GOP’s privileged resolution on an investigation of what members of Congress knew about Rep. Eric Massa’s (D-N.Y.) problems has passed the House, on a 360-2 vote. Both “no” votes came from Republicans.
My bet?
Pelosi & Co. are covering up the fact that they tried to blackmail Massa into supporting Obamacare.
His sudden ouster probably happened because he wouldn’t “stay bought.”"
