Displaying 1,531 To 1,560 Of 16,275 Comments Sue, the discovery of antibiotics certainty made a large change in cause of the death and yes, the rise in the use of petrochemicals most certainty has given a huge increase to many cancers, IMHO. How much has the eating of processed foods and sedentary lifestyles added to the rise in heart disease, I wonder? Speaking of petrochemicals, I just saw an article that the weeds that Round-Up was supposed to kill in the Monsanto GMO fields have evolved and are no longer being killed. What next? Stronger and “better” weed killers? That should keep the oncologists who specialize in blood cancers busy for a long time. » Posted By bito On June 22, 2012 @ 4:15 pm From the Desk of Mitt [img]https://p.twimg.com/Av7v_gMCIAAOb-Z.png[/img] https://twitter.com/truthteam2012/status/215873706407370752/photo/1 » Posted By bito On June 21, 2012 @ 8:36 pm Wonder why the polls don’t show Obama with a 25% lead for reelection? Could it possibly be that some don’t let the facts get in the way? POLL: Most Republicans Still Believe That Iraq Had WMD | A new poll conducted by Dartmouth government professor Benjamin Valentino found that 63 percent of Republican respondents still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the United States invaded in 2003, even though this assertion has been thoroughly debunked. In comparison, only 27 percent of independents and less than 15 percent of Democrats believed in the misinformation. Additionally, 64 percent of Republican respondents believe that President Obama was born in another country. http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/06/21/504201/poll-republicans-iraq-wmd/ http://www.dartmouth.edu/~benv/files/poll%20responses%20by%20party%20ID.pdf » Posted By bito On June 21, 2012 @ 5:43 pm As unions decline, inequality rises http://www.epi.org/publication/unions-decline-inequality-rises/#.T9lN01w6_hA.twitter [img]http://www.epi.org/m/?src=http://www.epi.org/files/2012/snapshot-unionmembership.png&w=608[/img] » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 2:01 am Is this the kind of thing that Mitt wants to talk about i “quiet rooms” concerning envy and “class warfare?” State by state Tax Burden by Income: Check out this table! http://scorecard.assetsandopportunity.org/2012/measure/tax-burden-by-income » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 1:42 am Thanks Sally, that clarifies some things for me. » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 1:33 am Shit hits the fan? Leveson Inquiry: David Cameron set to give evidence The media ethics inquiry is expected to focus on his relationship with figures in Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. Mr Cameron is a friend of ex-News International boss Rebekah Brooks and hired ex-News of the World editor Andy Coulson as his communications chief. The inquiry is also likely to ask him about Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt’s handling of News Corp’s BSkyB bid. News Corp unveiled its bid for the satellite broadcaster in June 2010 but abandoned it in July 2011 amid outrage over the phone-hacking scandal at its now defunct News of the World (NoW) newspaper.

A family member who always flaunted his “management” on my “union” father was ticked off at retirement time. » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 1:09 am Sounds like post de facto to me if they filed before the law was passed.

How does one schedule a life? » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 12:44 am Hell, just shoot the judge and jury for threatening to take away your freedom. Got any insurance for that asshats? » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 12:33 am Sally, that is so much RW bullshit propoganda it makes me sick, you are exactly right. Once unions are completely broken the Dems lose a huge donor base, loyalty and their biggest GOTV efforts. How many charts drawn, studies done and articles written have to be done before people realize that as unions are busted so is the middle class. Already states are changing laws on workers rights as the more and more Unions are busted. When did healthcare costs begigin to rise? When Unions began to see the demise because of less or smaller group policies. » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 12:29 am AdLib, I think that the “promise” by some major insurance companies to still cover “children” up to 26 on their parents is just a ploy. They will break that promise 15 minutes after either the decision or if Mitt and an R congress is elected. » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 12:10 am How far right have we gone when I find myself agreeing with something ole’RR Vlad said? Scary thought. » Posted By bito On June 14, 2012 @ 12:01 am I am beginning to really fear for this country. Through a democratic process Unions are formed and by law protected, now with a few billionaires, lies and a few SCOTUS decisions workers will find themselves without any protections whatsoever. Right-Wing Front Group Compares Unions to Kim Jong-Il in $10 Million Ad Buy “In North Korea, people don’t get real change,” the ad states, along with a picture of the late Kim Jong Il and his successor Kim Jong Un. “American union members don’t either.” “Fact: Fewer than 10% of employees in unions voted to join their union. In most cases, the employees who voted for the union are dead or gone. The Employee Rights Act provides union members a guaranteed vote every three years on whether to continue paying union dues. It’s time for a new labor day.” http://crooksandliars.com/kenneth-quinnell/right-wing-front-group-compares-u I don’t think the RW will be happy until all unions are busted, workers have no rights and we enter into another great depression. I feel for the younger generations. » Posted By bito On June 13, 2012 @ 11:57 pm Who is this commie? “We’re going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that have allowed some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. In theory, some of those loopholes were understandable, but in practice they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing, while a bus driver was paying 10% of his salary, and that’s crazy. It’s time we stopped it.” Jeb vs. Grover: Battle for GOP’s Soul » Posted By bito On June 13, 2012 @ 11:42 pm So some states are outlawing “librul words like climate change, and making the mere mention of the ocean rising illegal, out in the real world of science: Telescope to hunt black holes reaches orbit An innovative X-ray telescope blasted off aboard an unmanned air-launched rocket on Wednesday to begin a two-year mission to ferret out black holes and other high-energy celestial phenomena in space, NASA officials said. The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, nicknamed NuStar, shot toward orbit aboard a Pegasus XL rocket seconds after being released from an aircraft flying about 40,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean south of the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Circling the Earth in orbit, one of the X-ray telescope’s initial jobs will be to conduct a sky survey, intended to give astronomers more information about how galaxies formed.

Rape has nothing to do with sex, it has to do with power over another individual, humiliation. » Posted By bito On June 13, 2012 @ 8:51 pm More of that story is that service people are more likely to be raped by a fellow service person than wounded/killed by the enemy (sorry no link). Add that to the article AdLib linked to the other day that more service people die from suicide than at the at the hands of the enemy and it makes one wonder what exactly are we fighting? Seems like we have met the enemy and it be us.

Prime Minister David Cameron will begin a full day of questioning in front of the Leveson Inquiry shortly.
Not one damn Union worker caused the financial meltdown nor did their pensions or healthcare, productivity is up. profits are up and wages are stagnant at best.
If one does not continuously fight to protect their rights and the laws enforcing them, they will soon be gone. Why do people think that their wages are stagnant now, because unions based and fought for their wages be tied to workers productivity and company profits. Do they think companies are going to share with the workers out of the kindness of their hearts?
The people saying otherwise are either foolish or trolls.

Surprised the science deniers/bible thumpers in the house didn’t block this research. Everyone knows that the universe is only 5,000 years old and Adam & Eve rode around on dinosaurs.
Jeff Gauvin @JeffersonObama
He follows many more polls than anyone else you will ever find in one place. He released a batch today, just scroll down his time line if your interested.
