The Economist: Russians die out, immigrants take their place - (USA)
The population is dalling catastrophically, life expectancy is not rising and in the regions "social and economic deserts" are huge, reports British weekly magazine The Economist. The number of citizens of working age will only decrease, and immigrants are already coming to take their places. Despite the attempts of the Russian authorities to increase the birth rate in the country, there is still not much reason for "demographic optimism". Russians experience serious problems with health and

Race is Not The only Reason for Jump in Assassination Threats to Obama - (USA)
Earl Ofari Hutchinson - President Obama has gotten more death threats in a shorter period of time than any other president in US history. The legion of right side talk radio gabbers, the GOP induced professional mobsters who commit orchestrated mayhem at health care townhalls, the birthers, the countless websites and chatrooms that crackle with anti Obama venom, and the endless montage of race baiting cartoons, characterizations and depictions of Obama and First Lady Michelle have created a vi

This is awesome , crappy grammar and all. I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE SHITHEEL This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy.

This IS What You Get When You Stack the Court - (USA)
The founders were wary of corporate influence on politics — and their rhetoric sometimes got pretty heated. In an 1816 letter, Thomas Jefferson declared his hope to “crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.” This skepticism was enshrined in law in the early 20th century when the nation adopted strict rules banning corporations from contributing to polit

Obama's New Mexico townhall: "No more fine print" -- full text - (USA)
President Obama held another of his favorite townhall meetings today, this one in a New Mexico high school, where he typically opens with an educational sales pitch on his stimulus plan and budget, the need for health care reforms this year and, by Memorial Day, he says, credit card reforms to eliminate abuses by card companies. Then, he takes audience questions, boy-girl, around the hall, taking every opportunity to sell his plans and ideas and, today, to claim he's actually invited Republica

The "Pro-Life" Hypocrisy - (USA)
I'm certainly not the first observer to note that for the conservative "pro-life" crowd, concern for life seems to magically end at the moment of birth. In their world, once the mother has been forced to carry the pregnancy to term, mother and child (and their family support networks) do not deserve any more consideration. Instead, according to the conservative view, they're on their own. If death results, so be it. Survival of the fittest. No more concern about ensuring that life continues.
