Nearly 1 Million Workers Vanished Under Obama
http://news.investors.com/Articl…nitial jobless claims unexpectedly jumped by 24,000 last week to 399,000 as more workers lost their jobs, the Labor Department said Thursday. At the same time, the economy continues to lose workers.
In the 30 months since the recession officially ended, nearly 1 million people have dropped out of the labor force — they aren't working, and they aren't looking — according to data from Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. In the past two months, the labor force shrank by 170,000.

Islamist 'Morality Police' to train volunteers in using electric batons
http://english.ahram.org.eg/News…The self-proclaimed Islamist "Morality Police" announced on its new official Facebook page that it has acquired 1,000 tazers to be distributed to volunteers who will promote "virtue" and combat "vice" in the Egyptian street.
The "Morality Police", which models itself on a similar group in Saudi Arabia that monitors citizens social behaviour, added in its announcement that these electric shocks batons will help in self-defence against any possible attacks on volunteers, adding that volunteers would be instructed to use the tazers only in "extremely necessary" situations.

Welcome to Saudi Arabia, I mean Egypt. Goodbye personal freedoms and the Coptics will all be dead in 20 years.

I can tell you're a practicing Christian afraid of some kind of Muslim rising hegemony.If you're so concerned, go there and try to start another crusade.
But, know this: Egypt will be Egypt whether or not you address the nation on the website. Let it be.

Faux Fox Fringe News "Shut Out of Canada Because of a Law Against Lying During Newscasts!" This year once again...
News Corp., the parent company of Fox News, was hoping to open a propaganda branch in Canada — called “Sun News TV” (or “Fox North”). It was hoping its crony in Ottawa, winger Prime Minister Stephen Harper, would be successful in overturning a law prohibiting lying on broadcast news.

A highly complex set of laws and exemptions from laws and taxes has been put in place by those in the uppermost reaches of the U.S. financial system. It allows them to protect and increase their wealth and significantly affect the U.S. political and legislative processes. They have real power and real wealth. Ordinary citizens in the bottom 99.9% are largely not aware of these systems, do not understand how they work, are unlikely to participate in them, and have little likelihood of entering the top 0.5%, much less the top 0.1%. Moreover, those at the very top have no incentive whatsoever for revealing or changing the rules. I am not optimistic.

Newt Gingrich tries to slam Mitt Romney — for speaking French
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/…A clip of the 2004 Democratic nominee saying “Laissez les bons temps rouler” — “Let the good times roll,” the Mardi Gras slogan — is then followed by footage from 2002 of the current GOP front-runner introducing himself: “Bonjour. Je m'appelle Mitt Romney.”
- how is this relevant at all?BonSeff
- Yeah, panasemen. Explain why this is noteworthy.waterhouse
- This is a senseless leap (on Gingrich's part) from humorous digs at the French to framing them as evil not to be associated with.waterhouse

Murdoch launches Twitter tirade against Obama, Google over online piracy
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/0…
This is just silly. Is he chest-thumping for the sake of his investors or is Ruport Murdoch really afraid that too much of his fortune/empire is at stake?

Funny thing about Murdoch tweeting his rants is if SOPA and PIPA were passed he probably wouldn't be able to post it on Twitter with the same freedom.

Nine Euro Nations’ Ratings Cut, Seven Affirmed
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/20…France and Austria lost their top credit ratings in a string of downgrades that left Germany with the euro area’s only stable AAA grade as Standard & Poor’s warned that crisis-fighting efforts are still falling short.
France and Austria were cut one level to AA+ from AAA and face the risk of further reductions, the rating company said in Frankfurt late yesterday. While Finland, the Netherlands and Luxembourg kept their AAA ratings, they were put on negative watch. Spain and Italy were also among the nine nations downgraded.

Federal Liberal party of Canada votes to legalize marijuana:
- Gminor0
^meh... they only did it for political points, it means nothing. the cons are busy making real pot law worse and they aren't doing anything about it. The LIberals are just trying to redo their image and marijuana legalization is an easy attention grabber.
- Even if they have no intention of doing it, it's made legalization a topic and trivial, which is a step closer to actual legalization.i_monk
