Drugmakers' push boosts 'murky' ailment
"Two drugmakers spent hundreds of millions of dollars last year to raise awareness of a murky illness, helping boost sales of pills recently approved as treatments and drowning out unresolved questions - including whether it's a real disease at all.
Key components of the industry-funded buzz over the pain-and-fatigue ailment fibromyalgia are grants"
EVERY doctor I've spoken to says this is a totally bogus "ailment".

Nash won't resign, despite attorney general's opinion
Nash won't resign, despite attorney general's opinion
"The state attorney general's office has indicated that Charles Nash's roles on the Muskegon school board and the county board are incompatible, but that's not enough to convince Nash to resign one of them.......
...Nash said he doesn't intend to resign because he sees no conflict in serving on both boards.
"I'm trying to help the school and the county at the same time," Nash said. "I don't see what the problem is."
This is the new democrat paradigm.
"I didn't know it was wrong", "I simply made a mistake", "I don't see what the problem is".

"The stakes in the competing narratives are high.
The diagnosis determines the prescription.
If the Times diagnosis prevails, the prescription is more regulation of the financial system;
if instead government policy is to blame, the prescription is to terminate those government policies that distort mortgage lending.
There really isn’t any question of approach is factually correct: right on the front page of the Times edition of December 21 is a chart that shows the growth of home ownership in the United States since 1990.
In 1993 it was 63 percent; by the end of the Clinton administration it was 68 percent.
The growth in the Bush administration was about 1 percent.
The Times itself reported in 1999 that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were under pressure from the Clinton administration to increase lending to minorities and low-income home buyers--a policy that necessarily entailed higher risks.
Can there really be a question, other than in the fevered imagination of the Times, where the push to reduce lending standards and boost home ownership came from?"

Obama executive order favors union labor
Obama executive order favors union labor: "President Barack Obama on Friday issued an executive order backing the use of union labor for large-scale federal construction projects.
The order encourages federal agencies to have construction contractors and subcontractors enter project labor agreements. Those agreements require contractors to negotiate with union officials, recognize union wages and benefits and generally abide by collective-bargaining agreements.
Obama's order restores a Clinton administration order that was revoked by President George W. Bush"

Reporter restrained after Panetta hearing
Following Leon Panetta’s confirmation hearing Thursday, several reporters approached the CIA director-designate in the hallway outside room G-50 in the Dirksen Building.
There, CongressDaily reporter Chris Strohm — upon asking a question — was physically restrained by a man who accompanied Panetta at hearings both days.
Strohm, when reached by phone Friday, said he was unsure of the man’s role.
“I felt this hand grab my right arm and push me aside,” Strohm said.
By his account, Strohm told the man, “Please don’t touch me” more than once. Eventually, the man let him go.
Tim Starks, a reporter for Congressional Quarterly, said he witnessed Strohm approach Panetta and ask a question, just before the man began “grabbing him by the arm and moving him away.”
“I said to the guy, ‘That’s not the way you do it,’” recalled Starks.
Starks said that he’s covered the CIA for years and had never seen a reporter strong-armed that way before, adding that the agency is typically respectful of journalists.
Reflecting on the incident, Strohm played it down somewhat, saying that he’s “had worse happen” while reporting.
A staff assistant at The Panetta Institute said they are not addressing any media inquiries before Panetta’s confirmation. The White House declined to comment.
After today’s hearing, there was no similar incident: Panetta briefly answered questions from reporters."

FDA: Ga. plant knowingly shipped tainted products
"Food and Drug Administration officials earlier had said Peanut Corp. of America waited for a second test to clear peanut butter and peanuts that initially were positive for salmonella. But the agency amended its report Friday, noting that the Blakely, Ga., plant actually shipped some products before receiving the second test and sold others after confirming salmonella.
Federal law forbids producing or shipping foods under conditions that could make it harmful to consumers' health."
Yes this company is crooked.
But we don't pay for this company's products unless we chose to.
But we are forced to pay for the FDA and they are the fools who promised to protects us from these crooks.
Why is there no outrage at our government who steals our money and allows crooks to poison us?

Federal civil rights lawsuit against Muskegon County to continue
Federal civil rights lawsuit against Muskegon County to continue
"The Department of Justice alleges the county violated federal civil rights law by allowing ongoing sexual harassment of a female employee by a male co-worker who was eventually fired, prosecuted and jailed. The government alleges the harassment occurred in the period 1999-2006.
Also Wednesday, Scoville granted a motion by the victim to intervene in the case. Eva Amaya, a former 60th District Court employee, filed her own federal lawsuit against the county in October, alleging the county retaliated against her for complaining in 2006 to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Amaya was terminated from her job last year.
The male employee, Eugene Beene, eventually was fired in 2006 after other women complained about him. Beene later pleaded guilty to attempted fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, based on his behavior at work."
Why the heck is our county fighting this outrage?
They already fired the thug for harassment!

The scheme included spraying racist graffiti on a nearby fence and pretending to be in Washington D.C., for the presidential inauguration on Jan. 18 when her five-bedroom, 2,900-square foot house went up in smoke, authorities said late Friday."

The Jews are NOT promoting brain washing children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims!
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, or blow themselves up in German restaurants.
There is NOT one single Jew who has destroyed a church.
There is NOT a single Jew who protests by killing people.
The Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in standard education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems.
Muslims must ask "what can they do for humankind" before they demand that humankind respects them!!

The jihad against Britain's Jews
The Spectator:
"Jewish parents report that their children – some as young as eight – are now running a gauntlet of attack from their Muslim classmates at school who accuse them of ‘killing Palestinian children’. Comments by adults about ‘Jews controlling all the money/the media/the BBC’ (yes, really! All because it allowed Israel’s spokesman to put the case for Israel from time to time) are now commonplace in both private and public discourse."

Here's the juice on wind power
"Fascinating idea -- owning a wind generator that could be tied into the electrical grid, allowing homeowners to use and sell power to Consumers Energy, rather than the other way around.
Want to know more? Attend a free workshop Feb. 11, in which terms and concepts like 'net metering,' as well as the availability of various loans and grants, will be discussed by experts at the Michigan Alternative and Renewable Energy Center in Muskegon from 10 a.m. to noon.
It will involve speakers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Consumers Energy. To register, contact Muskegon Area First, at (231) 724-3181.
For our money, such face-to-face discussions can throw on a proverbial light switch, quickly illuminating good ideas that, until then, might have seemed shrouded in mystery."
