"We’ve had an endless series of products whose ingredients have been cheapened in order to maintain the price. Consumers won’t be able to taste the difference, the theory goes. So, as the horse-meat lasagna scandal in Europe is spiraling beautifully out of control, we’re now getting hit where it hurts: Maker’s Mark is watering down its bourbon." Continue reading →
"The currency market was thrown into turmoil this week after the G7 - the United States, Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Canada and Italy - issued a joint statement stating that domestic economic policies must not be used to target currencies. The G20 draft merely sticks to previous G20 language on the need to avoid excessive foreign exchange volatility, the delegate said. Others have noted that the United States has created new money in a very similar way to the Bank of Japan, although Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke insisted the U.S. central bank was acting in line with the G7 statement, 'using domestic policy tools to advance domestic objectives'."

"US State Representative Mark Warden has added a Bitcoin donation system to his campaign Website, marking the first use of the decentralised virtual currency system by a sitting incumbent politician. He says Bitcoin will allow online transactions that are not 'subject to the inflationary whims of the Federal Reserve or other central banks'. 'This is a cutting-edge technology that is market based, voluntary, and extremely innovative,' counters Warden. 'I have constituents and vendors who prefer this medium of exchange, so it's natural to want to respond to the marketplace.'" Continue reading →

"Back in 2007, the future U.S. Queen said: 'As president, I will establish universal pre-kindergarten education through a federal-state partnership.' At the time, Hillary's cheerleaders at The New York Times were pitching the project with words like 'neuroscientific'. Obama is the latest in keeping the ball rolling: 'I propose working with states to make high-quality preschool available to every child in America,' he said in his latest State of the Union speech. Perhaps someday, the 'neuroscientific' and 'high quality' Platonist government will make its way into the hospital room, helping Mommies to bring 'new Americans' into the world." Continue reading →
"Hollywood leftist Steven Spielberg is giving DVDs of his historically bogus 'Lincoln' movie to all 'public' middle and high schools. When Congressman Joe Courtney of Connecticut asked Spielberg to correct the blatant lie in the movie that Connecticut congressmen voted against the Thirteenth Amendment that ended slavery Spielberg ignored him. He then sent his screenwriter, Tony Kushner, out to cry poetic license and write in USA Today that 'it's only a movie.' They have apparently changed their minds about that and are promoting the movie in the government's brainwashing and propaganda mills as true history." Continue reading →

"A Bonita Springs man is suing the Collier County sheriff and a deputy, alleging his civil rights were violated when he was arrested after questioning why his 5-year-old son couldn't bring a lime green toy gun into the county fair. Maytham Mahmoud, 47, contends sheriff's Sgt. Gaines Myers, who was then the fair's security director, used excessive force and violated his rights by throwing him to the ground and kneeing him after he asked why the toy gun wasn't allowed."
