Dead will rise on Election Day

MURDOCK: Dead will rise on Election Day - Washington Times
Reports of dead voters are greatly understated.
While Democrats dismiss vote fraud as a collective Republican hallucination, a study released Tuesday by the Pew Center for the States confirms the GOP’s concerns.
The ghosts in America’s voting machines may be the least of our worries.

Pew has discovered that 1.8 million dead Americans are registered to vote.
Perhaps worse, 2.75 million Americans are enrolled in two states each, while 68,725 are signed up in three.
Indeed, Pew found, “24 million - 1 of every 8 - active voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate.”

There is only ONE political party that resists fixing this fraud against the American voter......can ya guess who?

Why I'm rooting for Barack Obama

Why I'm rooting for Barack Obama – Telegraph Blogs
Let's get one thing clear: Obama unquestionably ranks among the bottom five presidents in US history.
In terms of sublime awfulness he's right up there with our late and extremely unlamented ex-PM Gordon Brown – which is quite some doing, given that Brown singlehandedly wrought more destruction on his country than the Luftwaffe, Dutch Elm Disease, the South Sea Bubble, the Fire of London and the Black Death combined.

Agreed: the damage President Obama has done to the US economy with everything from Ben Bernanke's insane money-printing programme, to his cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline, to his ban on deep-water drilling to his crony capitalism hand-outs to disaster zones like Solyndra to his persecution of companies like Gibson is incalculable.
And, of course, if he gets a second term the damage he and his rag-bag of Marxist cronies at organisations like the Environmental Protection Agency manage to inflict on the US small businessman trying to make an honest buck will make his first term look like Calvin Coolidge on steroids.

So why do I think this would be preferable to a presidency under Mitt Romney?
Simple.
Because I've seen what happens, America, when you elect yet another spineless, yet ruthless, principle-free blow-with-the-wind, big government, crony-capitalist RINO squish.

We Are on the Road to Bankruptcy

RealClearPolitics - We Are on the Road to Bankruptcy
But what the president was talking about is not even a cut.
The politicians just agreed that over the next 10 years, instead of increasing spending by $9.48 trillion, they'd increase it by "just" $7.3 trillion. Calling that a "cut" is nonsense.

Mitchell gave an analogy:
"What if I came to you and said, 'I've been on a diet for the last month, and I've gained 10 pounds. Isn't that great?'
You would say:
'Wait, what are you talking about?
That's insane.'
And I said:
'I was going to gain 15 pounds.
I've only gained 10 pounds, therefore my diet is successful.'"

At every turn, it seems, the creepiness factor of advances in drone technology seems to be accelerating.
This was one of two developments that surfaced last week that should give anyone second thoughts. The other is the sudden intense interest in drone technology by law enforcement agencies.
Taken together, these developments represent both positive potential and a scary turn for the worse.

Obama’s Budget Proves He Should Not Be Reelected
President Obama does not deserve to be reelected.
By refusing to address the greatest challenge this nation faces – our financial security – Mr. Obama has failed the American people.
Despite warnings from the IMF, the credit ratings agencies, China -- our principal foreign creditor -- and the American people, the president continues to offer up budgets and programs that ignore the dire trajectory of Medicare and Social Security spending, putting the future of this nation at risk.

Steering trouble for Qantas A380 as Heathrow take-offs aborted

Steering trouble for Qantas A380 as Heathrow take-offs aborted The Australian
A QANTAS jet carrying 435 passengers has veered off course along a runway at London's Heathrow airport during two aborted take-off attempts because of a steering fault.
The superjumbo A380 pilots twice abandoned the take-off due to the steering problems with the plane.
The Singapore-bound flight was scheduled to leave Heathrow at 9.30pm local time on Saturday (8.30am AEDT on Sunday) but never left the runway.
A Qantas spokeswoman said the plane had returned to the terminal building and was being examined by engineers.
She said the plane was returned to service and took off without incident at 1.59am local time after engineers had conducted "multiple checks" on the aircraft.

If you think it's offensive for a Muslim group to exploit the 9/11 atrocity, you're an anti-Muslim bigot and un-American to boot.
It is a claim so bizarre, so twisted, so utterly at odds with common sense that it's hard to believe anyone would assert it except as some sort of dark joke.
Yet for the past few weeks, it has been put forward, apparently in all seriousness, by those who fancy themselves America's best and brightest, from the mayor of New York all the way down to Peter Beinart.

Maths 'too hard for students and dons': Universities drop subject from science courses Mail Online
Universities are dropping maths from degree courses because students – and their lecturers – cannot cope with it, a report warns today.
Decades of substandard maths education in schools has led to a ‘crisis’ in England’s number skills, threatening the future of the economy, it says.
Universities are being forced to dumb down degree courses requiring the use of maths, including sciences, economics, psychology and social sciences.
