"The three managers who ran parts of the businesses were getting $500,000 to $750,000 a year and they didn’t even know anything about modern computerized trading,” the employee said. They mostly socialized, read the news. They would have been unemployable on the outside."

The most common factor in the making of a terrorist is alienation. Of the jihadists studied, "a remarkable 78 per cent were cut off from their cultural and social origins". He concludes "this absence of connection is a necessary condition for a network of people to join the global jihad".

Of the dozen or so insecticides WHO has approved as safe for house spraying, the most effective is DDT. Yet WHO wants "to achieve a 30% cut in the application of DDT worldwide by 2014 and its total phase-out by the early 2020s.” This decision is tantamount to mass murder!

An inspiring children's book about two male penguins, Roy and Silo, who together raise a baby penguin, Tango. Although it's based on a true story from the New York Zoo, the book is frequently on the list of most banned books each year.

Folks, the bubble was all about giving a loan to anyone who had a pulse. That credit is long, long gone, and IMO getting harder to get. No more easy money. 49% of the USA has a credit score below 669.

Lépine was a one-off, mentally disturbed child-abuse victim and social reject who conjured bizarre conspiracy theories about women. To connect his views to the prejudices and allegedly misogynistic policies of society-at-large is absurd. Yet every Dec. 6 this is exactly what many commentators do.

This is the tale of three African American horses (Latawnya, Latoya and Daisy), who leave the stable and get drugs from four white horses (Connie, Chrystal, Jackie and Angie). It is a timely and poignant tale that will leave you laughing, crying, and making scary noises.

A supplier for the “Big Three” auto makers, received a letter from President of GM requesting support for the auto bailout. His response is classic, and has to make you proud that there are still right thinking Americans who are not afraid to tell it like it is.
