American Thinker: Paris Video Shows the Future of Ground Zero
"Yes, the Ground Zero Victory Mega-Mosque will symbolize physical conquest, but it is, after all, only an inert thing.
The real conquest will be the ownership of the public space around it, asserted by the fanatics from all over the world who will flock there five times a day for prayers.
They'll pray in the mosque and they'll pray in the streets, face to the ground, with a rakish tilt of their derrieres to the sky from which their blessed destruction came burning down.
They'll block off street after street, refusing passage to people who live and work there, choking off the economic bloodstream of the shops and restaurants and offices that keep the struggling neighborhood alive"
This is creepy...and it's happening right now in Dearborn and New York!

Research Upends Traditional Thinking on Study Habits
Mind - Research Upends Traditional Thinking on Study Habits - NYTimes.com
"But individual learning is another matter, and psychologists have discovered that some of the most hallowed advice on study habits is flat wrong.
For instance, many study skills courses insist that students find a specific place, a study room or a quiet corner of the library, to take their work. The research finds just the opposite.
In one classic 1978 experiment, psychologists found that college students who studied a list of 40 vocabulary words in two different rooms — one windowless and cluttered, the other modern, with a view on a courtyard — did far better on a test than students who studied the words twice, in the same room.
Later studies have confirmed the finding, for a variety of topics."
Another reason to suspect our teacher's unions care more for their own moolah than our children's learning.

Obama Calls for $50 Billion Public Works Plan
Obama Calls for $50 Billion Public Works Plan - NYTimes.com
"Mr. Obama also used Monday’s appearance here to deliver a hearty defense of his policies and take a few whacks at Republicans.
“They talk about me like a dog,” the president said.
“That’s not in my prepared remarks, but it’s true.”"
When's the last time a dog bankrupted a country?
We should be so lucky......

Court Order Keeps FAKE "Tea Party" Off Ballot
"A new court order leaves a shadowy group calling itself 'The Tea Party' off Michigan's November ballot.

The Michigan Supreme Court said in an order it won't take up an appeal of a lower court ruling that left 'The Tea Party' off the ballot."
Whoo hoo!
Albeit from a FoxNews report.
National news dudes!
Good guys win another one!

Oil Should Be Around $10 a Barrel
Oil Should Be Around $10 a Barrel: Analyst - CNBC

Why is it 27 years?
Because that's how far our records go back.
It's probably the most in 50 or 100 years,' he added."

"IN THE market for a used car? Good luck finding a bargain:
The price of “pre-owned’’ vehicles has climbed considerably over the past year.
According to Edmunds.com, a website for car buyers, a three-year-old automobile today will set you back, on average, close to $20,000 — a spike of more than 10 percent since last summer."

Dear Patients: Vote to Repeal ObamaCare
Hal Scherz: Dear Patients: Vote to Repeal ObamaCare - WSJ.com
"Our patients have always expected a certain standard of care from their doctors, which includes providing them with pertinent information that may affect their quality of life.
Because the issue this election is so stark—literally life and death for millions of Americans in the years ahead—we are this week posting a 'Dear Patient' letter in our waiting rooms.
The letter states in unambiguous language what the new law means:
'Dear Patient: Section 1311 of the new health care legislation gives the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services and her appointees the power to establish care guidelines that your doctor must abide by or face penalties and fines.
In making doctors answerable in the federal bureaucracy this bill effectively makes them government employees and means that you and your doctor are no longer in charge of your health care decisions.
This new law politicizes medicine and in my opinion destroys the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship that makes the American health care system the best in the world.'"
