Chris Matthews Calls Gingrich, Santorum and Romney "Cultists" For Religious Beliefs

"Guess what Mormons and Roman Catholics? MSNBC host Chris Matthews believes you are all adherents to a cult-like religion. Well, at least, that’s what he believes about the three most prominent Republicans running for their party’s presidential nomination."

HIS WORDS: "Finally, Matthews dug his rapidly widening hole even deeper calling Roman Catholics Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich (a church to which Matthews belongs) and Church of Latter Day Saints member Mitt Romney “cultists.”

“They have three, or two RCs -- Roman Catholics running and a Mormon so the three cultists running. I have to pick one of the three cultists as they see them."

EVEN ATHEISTS ARE SHOCKED BY THAT STATEMENT.  
SHAME ON THAT OLD FART.

Employers Asking Applicants for Facebook Passwords

"Obviously you should use discretion when you post something on Facebook and take care to keep certain items private. But what if your employer had full, unbridled access to your Facebook profile?"

THOSE THAT GIVE THEIR PASSWORDS, BREAK THE RULES OF FACEBOOK. 

PEOPLE MUST REALIZE IF POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS WANT PERSONAL INFO AND ONE IS WILLING TO SHARE IT, MAY AS WELL GIVE A COPY OF YOUR FRONT DOOR KEY TO YOUR HOME. WOULD YOU?

Canadian envoy to Iceland sparks loonie ($) controversy

"For 150 years, the rest of the world has shown scant interest in the Canadian dollar – the poor cousin to the coveted U.S. greenback.

But now tiny Iceland, still reeling from the aftershocks of the devastating collapse of its banks in 2008, is looking longingly to the loonie (Canadian dollar) as the salvation from wild economic gyrations and suffocating capital controls.

...if Iceland decided to adopt the Canadian dollar, with all its inherent risks, Canada was (is) ready to talk."

Senior (U.S.) Admin. Official: “We Are Going to Kill the Dollar”

"...this simply means that they are going to print more and more dollars until all of our purchasing power is destroyed which will cause Americans to need more and more dollars to buy the same amount of goods."

New Asian Union Means The Fall Of The (U.S.) Dollar

"The genius of globalization is not in how it “works”, but in how it DOESN’T work.  Globalization chains mismatched cultures together through circumstance and throws us into the deep end of the pool.  If one sinks, we all sink, enslaving us with interdependency.  The question one must ask, then, is if all sovereign economies are currently tied together in the same way?   The answer is no, not anymore.  Certain countries have moved to insulate themselves from the domino effect of debt implosion, one of the primary examples being China."

Melting down hips and knees: The afterlife of implants

"As people live longer and medical technology improves, more and more of us will have a surgical implant before we die. We are also getting cremated in larger numbers - and so there is often some expensive metal left among the ashes. Where does it go?

Strange it may be, and a bit macabre perhaps, but this kind of recycling is a growth industry."
