Toxic Waters - Rulings Restrict Clean Water Act, Hampering E.P.A. - NYTimes.com Is it me, or does the Supreme Court seem to like over turning laws that have been effective for decades to the direct benefit of big businesses? And of course, with their teams of lobbyists, getting news laws, or clarifying laws is nearly impossible. Oh what wonder one could accomplish without the meddling interference of lobbyists.

The SCotUS recently decided corporations are individuals and are therefore allowed to contribute unrestrictive to political campaigns. In other words, corporations are exempt from 100 years of campaign finance laws and previous court decisions. So, that being said, since corporations are, per the SCotUS, legal individuals does that mean corporations will be as tax responsible as individuals? For example, will they now be required to pay income taxes on monies earned, or pay roughly 30% to the IRS and hope for a government refund in April 15?

So, the other day I find a cell phone while out walking my dog. I dial 611 to get to the customer service rep who then has the owner call me so we can rendezvous and I can giver her the phone. Today I am out at the dog park and I find a cell phone. I call the husband who doesn't answer. I call "Home" which doesn't answer. The phone receives a call from a woman who knows the phone's owner. As I look for the owner, I get a call from the owner using someone else's phone. She got her phone back. What are the odds I'd find two phones and get them back to their owners in the 3 days?

Reports: 5,000 'overtly sexual' iPhone apps purged | Apple - CNET News Apple playing the role of Moral Majority. For anyone over the age of 18, while you're not necessarily downloading these apps, you might want to be worried. Apple has already purged apps they deemed inappropriate once and now they're doing it again. What happens when they don't want you to have access to conservative or liberal blogs? What if Apple suddenly decides you shouldn't be able to have access to Twitter or Gmail? Or some other site? Maybe you have a poker app and Apple suddenly decides poker breaks their morality rule?

YouTube - Step Forward - USAservice.org : "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3e1pQqQ89Y" So, you've seen this commercial and you think: hmm... maybe I'll check that out, see if I can help this country get back on track via some sort of service to my countrymen.

So, to serve my country I'm to buy something?

Op-Ed Columnist - Our Politics May Be All in Our Head - NYTimes.com Wow, so according to researchers at the University of Nebraska, politics may be hardwired into our systems; we may be designed from birth to lean one way or another. In short: conservatives tend to be people that are easily frightened while liberals are more level headed. Who knew?

Now 90, veterans' group started here | cincinnati.com | Cincinnati.Com Colorado Springs, not only home to the FOtF douchebags who don't think people have a right to be equal to one another, but also home to an organization founded to help and provide benefits to veterans disabled in service to their country. I didn't know this and I've been in Colorado (Denver) for 10 years. Next time I'm in Colorado Springs, I'll have to swing by and let them know how much of a fan I am of what they do for American veterans.

Public gallery URL : Album Privacy - Picasa Help Okay, so for the most part, I like Buzz; especially since Google addressed some of the privacy issues. However (isn't there always a "but"?) I would very much like to see a way to change the user name, or Buzz URL, like you can in Picasa that way people I'm connected to don't automatically have my email address.

Iran uses 'enemies of God' charge on protesters - CNN.com I guess I can't go to Iran since I'm mohareb. Well, not technically... I'm an atheist and I know there are no such animals as gods. But, in my atheism I try to enlighten the people who are misinformed or misguided (you know, godly believers) and therefore, technically that would make me an "enemy of god." Taken literally, this could be applied to any secularist, any scientist or anyone who wants to dispute the divine writings of the Koran, Bible or Torah. I love theocracies!
