Gun Accidents this past week. Kids shot: 9 of 13 were under 10 (5 were pre-schoolers) 23 addidentally shot

An extraordinarily tough week for the kids this time around, with 13 accidentally shot, and a number of very young ones among the victims. Nine of the 13 were under age 10, and five of them were pre-schoolers. One of the victims was identified only as a child, so we can only guess how old he or she was. It could've been worse, of course. One of our "home invasion" shootings involved a stray bullet sent through the window of a home daycare. A total of six lucky Americans were gifted a freedom projectile by neighbors or other area patriots last week.
The other big total, surprising no one, was the number people who accidentally shot themselves: 23 of them.

50 Signs of watching too much Fox News

1. You are OUTRAGED at how Obama has shredded the Constitution but can’t name any rights you’ve lost since January 20, 2009.
2. You think record breaking cold weather in the middle of winter disproves “Global Warming.”
3. You think record breaking cold weather in the middle of winter disproves “Global Warming” but record breaking heat waves in the summer are just a fluke.

Cancer: Alkaline approach can successfully treat cancer

In the 1930′s, an interesting natural cancer treatment was proposed as a simple, effective answer to cancer – almost any cancer. This treatment approach is not well known because it is considered alternative or experimental – or even dangerous – by the medical and scientific community and hence has been referenced primarily in obscure publications outside the mainstream press.
This treatment approach is called alkaline therapy or pH therapy, and is based in part on observations of cultures without significant incidence of cancer and in part on scientific observations of and experimentation with cellular metabolism.

Lowest Health Care Cost Increase in 15 years - Obamacare is working

So to sum up, employer health care costs are rising at the slowest rate in fifteen years, employees are becoming better health care shoppers and making better choices concerning their health, and despite Republican propaganda employers have no intention of dropping employee health care plans.

And don't forget, this is being reported in Forbes Magazine, which is not exactly known for their cheerleading on behalf of Obamacare.

Jon Stewart - CPAC - The Paul Ryan Free Lunch Lie

There was a lot of "crazy" for comedian Jon Stewart to review after last weekend's Conservative Political Action Conference, or as he calls it, "Burning Man for people who don’t do drugs and are afraid of fire.”

One of the speeches he highlighted was Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) "moving" story about a boy who chose a brown-bag lunch over a free school meal -- the moral being that food assistance programs are liberals' ineffective patch for the problem of child poverty, or as Ryan called it, offering a "full stomach and an empty soul."
"Full stomach empty soul? Actually I think that's the slogan for Arby's," Stewart joked.
He then pointed out that not only did the woman Ryan took the story from never meet the boy mentioned in the anecdote, but the story's original author and the boy she wrote about regularly make public appearances advocating for free school lunches.

On Issue after Issue - Republicans are Wrong

President Obama’s cautiousness in deploying U.S. troops is in keeping with the nation’s evolving attitude toward long, expensive, overseas conflicts without directly achievable objectives. In late January of this year, results from a USA TODAY/Pew Research Center poll indicated that more than 50 percent of respondents (across party lines) believed that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan waged across most of the 21^st Century to date, failed to achieve anything of consequence. At least not anything to warrant the costs, both economic and in human terms.

The Poor Can NO LONGER AFFORD Pneumonia Treatment

Yes, this is a scary headline. Almost sounds sensational. It isn't. It is a cold hard fact. At this moment, if you are counting your pennies, trying to scrape up enough to pay for a $4 drug at Wal-Mart or Target, you can not afford an antibiotic that will treat your walking pneumonia---meaning that you could end up in the hospital saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

Glaciers are shrinking and ocean levels are rising because of it

As climate-watchers and coastal-dwellers keep a weather eye out for signals of irreversible changes in the environment, the world’s fastest-moving glacier has already begun self-destruction.
Jakobshavn is now shedding ice nearly three times as quickly as it was 20 years ago, dumping enormous and growing quantities into the ocean. It's contributed 0.1 millimeters per year to worldwide sea-level rise — more than 3 percent of the 3 mm produced globally — for the past decade.
The glacier “has been retreating for the last 100 years,” according to Ian Joughin, senior principal engineer at the Polar Science Center, part of the University of Washington's Applied Physics Laboratory. “Retreat” means a glacier is shrinking in length, losing more ice from its face that meets the water than accumulates from higher up.
But it was only in recent decades that the retreat reached extreme levels.

Fukushima: Children told - 'Don't touch the air outside."

“AVOID TOUCHING THE OUTSIDE AIR”
In Koriyama, the city recommended shortly after the disaster that children up to two years old not spend more than 15 minutes outside each day. Those aged 3 to 5 should limit their outdoor time to 30 minutes or less.
These limits were lifted last October, but many kindergartens and nursery schools continue to adhere to the limits, in line with the wishes of worried parents.
One mother at an indoor Koriyama playground was overheard telling her child: “Try to avoid touching the outside air”.

Sarah Palin speech at CPAC - Esquire discusses her speech. Great Critique

A friend bailed on the speech, making the very plausible case that Palin is simply another political celebrity freakshow, like Donald Trump. I can see the point there but, with Palin, and watching the hysterical reception her puerile screed received, there is something more serious going on. She is the living representation of the infantilization of American politics, a poisonous Grimm Sister telling toxic fairy tales to audiences drunk on fear, and hate and nonsense. She respects no standards but her own. She is in perpetual tantrum, railing against her betters, which is practically everyone, and volunteering for the job of avatar to the country's reckless vandal of a political Id. It was the address of a malignant child delivered to an audience of malignant children. If you applauded, you're an idiot and I feel sorry for you.

TransCanada Pipeline oil to go to China and oil spills - Facts

It is not oil - it is a thick gunk and it corrodes steal which causes oil spills and it is horrible to clean up.  The health hazards with this stuff is massive and IT ENDS UP IN CHINA not the US.   There are only 50 or less permanent jobs made with this pipeline and THE COST OF GAS AND OIL WILL NOT GO DOWN if the pipeline is built.

Pictures of Denali - Trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Mudflats.

Great Pictures of Denali.
The road from Anchorage to Fairbanks and back is spectacular regardless of the season. I recently posted some photos from an autumn ride which were rich in color and clouds. But winter holds a particular charm of its own, with stands of bare birches and aspen; snow-kissed spruce; sawtooth mountain ridges that somehow look larger clad in white; and expansive vistas of frost-covered valleys, dotted with lakes and rivers frozen solid and covered with snow. There are few signs that humans exist, other than occasional power lines, and the very highway that takes you from the beginning to the end of the trip. Add to this visual banquet a crystal clear day with bright blue sky and visibility of hundreds of miles, and you get this.

Keystone is NOT JUST ANOTHER PIPELINE! It is toxic and dangerous when it spills.

Keystone isn't any normal pipeline.  It would pump tar sands oil, one of the dirtiest fuels on Earth.  Adding more tar sands oil to our energy mix would accelerate climate change, put our health at risk for generations, and tarnish our international reputation. 
Tar sands are a sticky mixture of oil, sediment, and other compounds that requires lots of energy to extract and refine.  According to the State Department’s analysis of the Keystone project, Canadian tar sands oil produces 17 percent more carbon pollution on its journey from the ground to a tailpipe or smoke stack than the average crude we use.

Climatologist who predicted the Calif drought 10 years ago says we CAN EXPECT WORSE in the future.

scientists a decade ago not only predicted the loss of Arctic ice would dry out California, they also precisely predicted the specific, unprecedented change in the jet stream that has in fact caused the unprecedented nature of the California drought. Study co-author, Prof. Lisa Sloan, told me last week that, “I think the actual situation in the next few decades could be even more dire that our study suggested.”
Back in 2004, Sloan, professor of Earth sciences at UC Santa Cruz, and her graduate student Jacob Sewall published, “Disappearing Arctic sea ice reduces available water in the American west” (subs. req’d). They used powerful computers “to simulate the effects of reduced Arctic sea ice,” and “their most striking finding was a significant reduction in rain and snowfall in the American West.”

A fellow teacher saw a bear in her yard yesterday.

I was talking to a teacher and she said she saw a bear (looked like it had brown) while she was taking her garbage out before going to school.  She and he dog had to walk past the bear to get back into her house.  She then had to get to school and was a bit afraid to make it out to her car but did.

The brown part is a bit weird because we don't have many brown bears here, we have black bears.  2 or 3 brown bears were seen last fall.  Maybe the Browns have found us.  Bears seem to be coming out of hibernation.

Jesse Ventura calls Bullshit on Bitchy Billionaires

Tuesday on his show “Off the Grid,” former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura “called bullsh*t” on the “one percent” who are complaining about anti-rich persecution despite being allowed to run amok in the United States.
“With great power comes great responsibility, and with great wealth comes the right to b*tch and moan when you’re being persecuted. Not on my watch. I’m knocking the silver spoons out of the number one percenters mouths on today’s ‘Off the Grid,’” he remarked.

Jon Stewart - Republicans are shamed for screwing over Veterans

Stewart went on to say, “So the VA is wasteful, often, and ineffective. This is true, and adds to the debt for this bill. But apparently those were things that these senators didn’t worry about in 2008, when they voted to continue funding the Iraq war despite the Pentagon being unable to account for a missing $15 billion worth of sh*t that we bought.”
