A city police officer fired his stun gun at Ryan Miller as he tried to re-enter his burning home, which was destroyed.

UC Berkeley Student Government Bans Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’

UC Berkeley Student Government Bans Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’:
"The UC Berkeley student government has banned the term “illegal immigrant” from its discourse, deeming the phrase racist, offensive, unfair and derogatory.
In an unanimous vote, student senators passed a resolution that stated the word “illegal” is “racially charged,” “dehumanizes” people, and contributes to “punitive and discriminatory actions aimed primarily at immigrants and communities of color.”
The “resolution in support of drop the I-word campaign” was approved 18 to 0 with one abstention on Oct. 30, according to a copy of the meeting’s minutes obtained by The College Fix."

Virginia Duo Hooked Up 300 Illegal Immigrants with Photo ID; WashPost Buries Story on B8

Virginia Duo Hooked Up 300 Illegal Immigrants with Photo ID; WashPost Buries Story on B8 | NewsBusters:
"A former DMV clerk, Maria Cavallaro, and her accomplice, Jose Calderon, pleaded guilty in federal court yesterday to helping roughly 300 individuals "most of them illegal immigrants" to obtain Virginia-issued "driver's licenses, learner's permits and identification cards for those... [who] were not eligible for them,"

Washington Post staffer Matt Zapotosky reported in the November 7 paper.
Suffice it to say, such a pervasive criminal conspiracy merits prime real estate in a major metropolitan newspaper, but Post editors seem to disagree, placing the 14-paragraph story on page B8 of Thursday's paper, the very back page of the Metro section:"

Suicide ain't painless-----Playing us for chumps on public union pension reform

Playing us for chumps on pension reform and mandatory minimum sentences - Chicago Sun-Times:
"We have felt like chumps before.
We’re feeling like chumps again.
All summer and early fall we kept hearing that a 10-member legislative pension committee was on its way toward a fair and workable resolution.
We dared to believe that was true.
But committee members, and the four legislative leaders brought in last month for a final push, can’t get a deal done."

The Church Of Climate Scientology: How Climate Science Became A Religion

The Church Of Climate Scientology: How Climate Science Became A Religion - Forbes:
"How do we protect ourselves against such abuses of science?
By knowing the one key difference between real scientists and science abusers.
Science abusers treat science as an infallible authority to be blindly obeyed by the public. 
Real scientists treat science as a method to be carefully explained to the public.

By this standard, today’s vaunted “climate science consensus”—that it’s been scientifically proven that we need to dismantle the fossil fuel industry, the economic engine of the world—is more Scientology than science.

Here are three ways the Climate Scientologists abuse science."
1.    They use manipulative language
2.   They won’t admit when their theory fails
3.  They intimidate, rather than explain

Pensions face new blow from ministers

Pensions face new blow from ministers - Telegraph:
"Private-sector workers could see their final salary pensions “eaten away” by the rising of cost of living after ministers proposed removing legal protections against inflation from “gold-plated” retirement funds.
Almost two million employees who are still part of final salary schemes could lose the legal right to have their retirement income rise in line with inflation under the proposals.
The change, which would not apply to public sector workers, could cut the spending power of a pension by almost a third over a 15-year retirement."

VIDEO: Watch Obama (kinda, sorta) apologize to Americans’ losing their health plans:
"What Obama isn't offering is an apology for the cancellation notices themselves. 
Eliminating certain health plans from the market -- ones that the White House thinks are too skimpy -- is a feature, not a bug, of the Affordable Care Act.
You can read more about that here in our FAQ on why about 7 million to 12 million health plans are being terminated under the Affordable Care Act."

If You Live In Illinois, Retire Now! (Or Move To Wisconsin)

If You Live In Illinois, Retire Now! (Or Move To Wisconsin) | Zero Hedge:
 "Across the 50 states, the Bloomberg Muni team has collected the government financial statistics and adjudged the most (and least) under-funded pension plans.
Wisconsin is least under-funded with a 99.91% funding ratio (beaten by the District of Columbia's 'over-funding' at 106.92%) with Illinois the most under-funded at a measly 40.37% funding ratio... It seems only one choice is left for those far from retirement in Illinois... move!"

Man Successfully Sues Wife Over Ugly Children

Man Successfully Sues Wife Over Ugly Children | CocoaFab:
"A Chinese man divorced and then sued his ex-wife for giving birth to what he called an extremely ugly baby girl, the Irish Times reported.

Initially, Jian Feng accused his wife of infidelity, so sure that he could never father an unattractive child.

When a DNA test proved that the baby was his, Feng’s wife came clean on a little secret — before they met, she had undergone about $100,000 worth of cosmetic surgery in South Korea.

Feng sued his ex-wife on the grounds of false pretenses, for not telling him about the plastic surgery and duping him into thinking she was beautiful, The Huffington Post reported.

The kicker? He won. A judge agreed with Feng’s argument and ordered his ex-wife to fork over $120,000.

“I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues,” he told the Irish Times. “Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me.”"
