A GLOWING REPORT ON RADIATION by Anne Coulter It may take a little explanation here to show just how bat-shit insane Ms. Coulter is, and how dangerous her "advice" is. She can cite studies all she wishes; she has no understanding of what radiation is, nor what the people of Japan are being exposed to. We're not dealing with just radiated energy from a source, like standing in front of an X-ray machine. The reason high levels of radiation are being measured in the air is due to airborne particles from steam vapor and smoke fumes. These microscopic particles settle over an area and increase the radiation exposure because the particles are radioactive due to their once being part of the nuclear fuel in the reactors. Even if they are washed away, they are still radioactive where ever they accumulate. The size of the tiny particles does not determine the level of radiation they emit. A smaller particle of plutonium can emit more radiation than a larger particle of cesiu...

The next few days are going to be even more revealing in Wisconsin. Gov. Walker has achieved his tear-filled dream of stripping the citizens of his state of their First Amendment rights (peaceful assembly and petition to address grievances). I'm sure freedom of the press will be going into the crapper soon. We'll then find out why it was so important for the citizens to be deprived of their collective bargaining rights:  Walker will cut all state employee pay (except his own) across the board. Naturally state employees will rally to protest, whereupon Walker--emotionally chocked with gratitude--will then fire all protesting state employees. Be sure he will single out teachers for the hardest blows of the axe--for some reason he really hates teachers. With the (illegal) firing of his state employees, Wlaker will then make up the $140 million budget shortfall he created by funneling money to his cronies. Conservatives have stressed in their political campaigns that local g...

"The ultimate test of any political movement is whether, on Election Day, that movement can defeat the politicians who crossed it. In order to get elected officials, beltway media, organizational leaders and other decision makers to take you seriously, the specter of electoral defeat is the only iron-clad, 100%-effective method." from Daily Kos by Chris Bowers
