quote [ "Frankly, whatever you do at street level ... is not going to have much of an impact compared to capturing an entire news media" ]
And so recently Gina Rineheart, Australia's richest person and possibly the richest woman in the world, had a share raid on a newspaper company. The big one that isn't owned by News Corp.

quote [ The financial institutions first used MERS so they could quickly sell and resell mortgages, much like shares of companies, during the boom years without having to record each transaction at county offices. ]
Major screw up!
If the bank doesn't have your mortgage they can't foreclose no matter what they say you owe them. [by bbqkink@5:37amGMT] [+1 Interesting] [5 comments] |
quote [ Steve Appleton, chairman and CEO of flash memory manufacturer Micron, died Friday in a small plane crash at Boise Airport in Idaho. He was 51. ]
Not very many of us in Boise cared too much for this guy. He pretty much ran Micron into the ground and then pocketed billions from the process.
Plus it's my Grandma's birthday and she REALLY hated this guy. Happy B-Day Grandma. King Diamond in the extended. [sci&tech] [by skoob666@2:13amGMT] [+4 Good] [21 comments] |

quote [ Like many 13-year-olds, Brittany knew seventh grade was a living hell. But what she didn't know was that she was caught in the crossfire of a culture war being waged by local evangelicals... ]
There is no greater example of the hypocrisy and hatred displayed by the anti-gay movement than willfully ignoring the suicides of teens who were bullied, when it is all too clear that, absent the bullying aided, and abetted by the anti-gay activists, those teenagers would still be alive today.

quote [ Russian scientists preparing to explore the "most alien lake on Earth," Lake Vostok, have reportedly not been in touch with American colleagues in over five days. ]
Yay sensational journalism! First it was the 'UFO' found on the seafloor by Swedes (check the definition for UFO: it doesn't read, 'shit we saw on the bottom of the ocean"). Now the Russians have disappeared.

quote [ If Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church are coming to your area (check their picket schedule online), let us know and we will add a Phelps-A-Thon for your community. We can work together to raise money for your local gay/straight alliance, LGBT community center, Jewish Community Center, Temple, or whatever organization we agree upon. ]
An interesting idea. Apparently they get on the bullhorn every 5 minutes to announce how much money Phelps has helped them raise.

quote [ When I pay my taxes I am telling my community I value you. What about hard work paying off? It’s true. I think we should be rewarded for hard work. ... But even that is not a solitary effort. ]
Interesting essay about pain, poverty, abuse and activism. This is what I imagine madpride would be like if the great throbbing the Jesus dick hadn't fucked her brains out.
In the extended, some photographs of Antarctic exploration. [politics] [by papango@10:00pmGMT] [+8 Good] [6 comments] |
quote [ *PLEASE COMMENT & RATE* - DON'T FLOP - Rap Battle - Blizzard Vs Mark Grist - Grind Time, King Of The Dot, Jumpoff. ]
