Aloha folks,

I've been really busy these past few years with a very serious problem involving the theft of family owned real property. I'm trying to bring as much attention to what happened to us...

Bill DeBlasio won by a relative landslide. The early favorite Christine Quinn was a distant 3rd. Giuliani's old 2nd in command Llota won the GOP nomination. A shame for the latter, I think John...

Juicing was good for Jack Lalanne.

Anything we do militarily in the Middle East will not have any lasting value, simply because our country has involved itself extensively in the region. In one case, we took a fledgling secular,...

I doubt President Obama will give a pardon. I think at best, Manning's sentence will get commuted to no longer than 10 years, but I don't think even that will happen unless the tide changes and...

Bradley Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison, considered to be among the more severe sentences.

In another development, Bradley Manning is apparently now openly pursuing a transgender...

XKeyscore: NSA tool collects 'nearly everything a user does on the internet'

• XKeyscore gives 'widest-reaching' collection of online data

Fear of the very real probability of being sentenced to jail for 100+ years will deter all but the most determined would-be whistleblowers from ever blowing the whistle.

Let freedom reign.

I remember in school, I once saw written on one of the desks "I punched Harry and he burst into flames". I got scared thinking that was really in the realm of possibility.

I lost 25 pounds in a few months. Lots of exercise, smaller portions, and green tea is a staple in my diet now. I feel a lot better. Faster too!

Getting enough water is also supposed to be good...

I have an old HP desktop, which had serious problems from day 1. I called their tech support and they told me to uninstall the HP updater. I never had a problem again. Of course, your machine is...

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Christine Quinn should be the one to quit, after how she gave real estate developers the green light to gobble up St. Vincent's Hospital and leave the west village without a hospital. I am a bit...

Don't forget Kelo v. City of New London.

Jimmy Carter Defends Edward Snowden, Says NSA Spying Has Compromised Nation's Democracy

"America does not have a functioning democracy at this point in time," Carter said

Daniel Ellsberg has defended Edward Snowden's decision to flee and said "The country I stayed in was a different America".

Snowden has no reasonable expectation to be treated fairly in the United...

It's good to hear from you too, Matapule. :) I am glad you and others here are still posting!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who...

Set ground rules. One of my rules is no Facebook games.

It's not great -- plus, the NSA knows who 99% of my friends are, but I get to keep in touch with my friends all over the world in a very...

You too, M. All the best to you. :)

Lawyers are liars.

"OJ Simpson lawyers say he is closer to freedom"

Although that statement on face value is technically correct as with each passing moment he's either getting closer to his...

Apparently, there are magnetic anomalies in Cappadocia Turkey that are attributed to volcanic activity. It's possible the causes here are similar. In this case they seem to be heavily localized in...
