What blackout? ;-)

Hope all of you regular wiki users were clever enough to swap your EN.wikipedia.org for ES.wikipedia.org and drop the new URL into translate.google.com. Wink

Starting in the on-board search bar in firefox ...

http://EN.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina

http://ES.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina

http://translate.google.com

Well, it's either that or brush up on your high-school 2nd language.

-o, -as, -a, -amos, -ais, -an. Confused LOL

Santorum: Scientists in Iran

Just a bit of swagger.

This will never cause a problem for Americans working or traveling overseas. Nope. No way. Roll Eyes

 

FWIW, the Iranians will get nukes as soon as the Russians or Chinese decide to give them one.

Unless they decide to take the long way and build one from the plans given to them by ... guess who.

Do any of these people think 5, 10, 15 years out?

VA Primary Ballot Drama

Seems a few of the Big Name candidates didn't get their ducks in order in time enough to make the VA ballot ... so it's time to change the rules. Well not so much change the rules but rather ignore them ... just for these guys. Little Names who didn't qualify in time are still S.O.L.

For those that hate the ACLU, everywhere and all the time, the state chapter is on the side of trying to get the Big Names included. Stick that in your acorn.

http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/88922/gsk-lab-fined-

GlaxoSmithKline Argentina Laboratories company was fined 400,000 pesos by Judge Marcelo Aguinsky following a report issued by the National Administration of Medicine, Food and Technology (ANMAT in Spanish) for the killing of 14 babies during illegal lab vaccine trials conducted between 2007 and 2008.

Likewise, two doctors -Héctor Abate, and Miguel Tregnaghi- were fined with 300,000 pesos each for irregularities during the studies.

The charges included experimenting with human beings, falsifying parental authorizations so babies could participate in vaccine-trials conducted by the laboratory from 2007 to 2008.

Why not pass a law to end unemployment?

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h112-2835

To establish a joint select committee of Congress to report findings and propose legislation to restore the Nation’s workforce to full employment over the period of fiscal years 2012 and 2013, and to provide for expedited consideration of such legislation by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

While they're at it, how about doing something about aging, too? Clown

Oh, and gravity; ladders and stairs will be safer than ever.

Let's see the MSM demand to know who the nurse was

... and the name of the hospital. Evil Smile

 

This, and the "newsletter" question is brought up, here. 28:00~38:00

Being simulcast, you get to hear parts that the radio audience couldn't.

LOL at "Oprah moment". LOL

99-Year-Old Man Files for Divorce Over 1940s Affair

99-Year-Old Man Files for Divorce Over 1940s Affair

According to the Telegraph, an Italian couple, listed in court documents only as Antonio and Rosa C, are about to become the world’s oldest divorcées, ousting the 98-year old British former title holders. What lead to the demise of the long-lasting relationship? Seems that Antonio found love letters in an old chest of drawers that his now 96-year-old wife had written to a lover way back in the 1940s.

Good on him; give her the "walking" papers to go with her love letters.
