As every failed business sector in America lines up in DC with their hands out,
the Federal Reserve continues to deny requests to disclose the recipients of
more than $2 trillion of emergency loans from U.S. taxpayers.
What is known is that more than half the homeowners who had their loans
modified to make the payments more affordable in the first half of the year are
already
in default again. Ah, big government. We voted for it, we got it.
GOOD NEWS: Despite the unrelenting effort to remove God from the
public square, a new poll shows that 80% of adult Americans still believe
in God. Large majorities of the public also believe in miracles (75%), heaven (73%),
angels (71%), and that Jesus is God or the Son of God (71%).
'GLOBAL WARMING' UPDATE: The global warming crowd
is experiencing difficulties. Though the UN stated at the recent Climate Conference
that the question of man-made global warming has been proven 'without a doubt',
650 dissenting scientists from around the globe dared to
challenge their assertions.
Father Earth, algore, continues to erode his credibility. In a speech in Germany
last week he claimed, 'The North Pole will disappear in 5 years."
See video here.
The eco-idiocy continues: Australians have been told to eat camels to protect the environment, just months after
being urged to combat climate change by chomping on kangaroos.
Here in the US, our own government is starting a most-wanted list for environmental fugitives accused of
assaulting nature. Next thing we know, we could be jailed for passing gas. You heard
it here first.
Mr. Ewert's assisted suicide was shown on TV
CULTURE:
A
new documentary called Right To Die - The Suicide Tourist, was shown in
the UK last week. It showed a fellow committing suicide, with a little help from
his friends.
In another new 'reality' show offering, Showtime is developing a series
documenting gay people coming out of the closet. In each episode, a closeted
individual reveals their true sexual orientation during a group meeting. In your
face, baby.
With Christmas right around the corner, attacks on the Christian religion abound.
When they lit the town Christmas tree in Armonk, N.Y. on Sunday, there was a Jewish
menorah right alongside, as usual. There was also something new this year — an Islamic crescent and star.
Playboy has added to the Christmas spirit — by putting the Virgin Mary nude on its Mexican cover. The controversial
magazine's latest festive offering was released Thursday. Lovely.
A federal judge says South Carolina must stop marketing and making license plates that feature
the image of a cross and the words "I Believe."
Learning by example, our kids are starting to let it all hang out. A recent survey reveals one-fifth of teenagers surveyed have
sent or posted nude or seminude pictures or videos of themselves online. Almost
a third have received such images.
Giving new meaning to 'love machine', a Canadian man now lives with a female robot.
Le, a scientific genius from Brampton in Ontario, Canada, said he never had time
to find a real partner so he designed one using the latest technology. Spooky stuff.
Another result of all this in-your-face sexuality is seen in a new survey: 46% of women and 30% of men now choose the
Internet over sex.
World's oldest cat
ESSENTIAL TRIVIA:
The world's oldest cat celebrates 125th birthday. The Guinness
World Records has confirmed there is no record holder at the moment, but the previous
oldest cat was 29.
The world's first personal supercomputer, which is 250 times faster than the average
PC, went on sale to British customers last week.
The secret world of dreams has been unlocked with the invention of technology capable
of illustrating images taken directly from human brains during sleep. Way cool.
Another interesting study purports to show that men are hardwired, after eons of evolution, to overspend.
Their maxed-out credit cards and mega-purchases have been tied to their desire to
attract mates. Hey, it works...
TOP IDIOT OF THE WEEK:
Michael Jackson, the new King of Weird, wins this week's
Top Idiot award. He was caught sporting a new outfit that made him look like an Islamist
Zorro.
Till next week, keep smiling,
