Sukhoi's T-50: The End of U.S. Dominance?
Sukhoi's T-50: The End of U.S. Dominance?
To me, the real worry is not the competition, which I think U.S. companies can handle just fine with superior products.
The dark side is an overreaction by a political process in this country that can't solve any problems, much less difficult ones with multi-decade payouts.

Hurricane Irene as the “Harbinger” of More Warming Propaganda
Hurricane Irene as the “Harbinger” of More Warming Propaganda « Commentary Magazine
Few aspects of contemporary debate are as dreary as the politicization of weather. Government officials have always known — or at least should have always known — that they will be blamed for natural disasters especially if they are not seen to be conducting rescue or cleanup activities with sufficient zeal.
But just as depressing and unenlightening is the practice of using instances of extreme weather — be they hot or cold, wet or dry — as “proof” that the planet is warming.

Gentex has a plan to hire 1,100 workers over the next three to four years.
Other West Michigan firms are adding workers as well, Baker said.
He also credits Gov. Rick Snyder with measures like a $1.7 billion business-tax cut and passing a state budget months ahead of time with sending a strong signal that Michigan is open for business.
Businesses “need a stable, predictable environment,” Baker said.

How Obama Spent His Summer Vacation
How Obama Spent His Summer Vacation - HUMAN EVENTS
I would imagine the increasingly disenchanted public remembers all those loud promises that the President “will not rest” until “everyone looking for a job can find one,” especially since they were made as recently as two weeks ago.
Unique challenges call for remarkable leadership and sacrifice, not scheduled vacation romps… much less a President who never seems to do anything except show himself a good time, and raise funds for his re-election campaign.
He’s spent plenty of time hanging around with deep-pockets supporters during this “working vacation.”

Comparing Obama’s Performance in Office with that of a Sack of Hammers
Pajamas Media » Comparing Obama’s Performance in Office with that of a Sack of Hammers
It’s somewhat difficult to judge the performance of a president with all the factors that need to be considered and trying to figure out the president’s effect on them, but perhaps the best way to accurately assess the effectiveness of a president is to judge him against the expected performance of a sack of hammers in a similar situation (which is known as the “Coolidge Test”).
Basically, the question is: Instead of electing the current president, would the country have been better off taking a burlap sack to Ace Hardware, filling it with approximately one hundred dollars worth of hammers, and placing that in the Oval Office?

Large enclaves of the city, like similar enclaves throughout Western Europe, have earned the dread label “no-go zone.”
They are unsafe for non-Muslims, particularly women who do not conform to Islamist conventions of dress and social interaction.

Reselling, donating old cribs now illegal under new federal consumer protection rules
Reselling, donating old cribs now illegal under new federal consumer protection rules MLive.com
If you're wondering what to do with that crib after your little one moves to a “big boy bed,” you probably have only one option: disposing of it.
Cribs manufactured before July 23, 2010, don't meet new standards set by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and are illegal to resell or donate.
Parents who want to get rid of their old cribs should disassemble them before disposing of them, the CPSC said.
