Associated Press Chicago - Good news for stargazers: An astronomer at Chicago's Adler Planetarium says conditions will be great for watching the Lyrid meteor shower Saturday night. Astronomer Mark Hammergren says the shower will be in sharper relief this year because it's occurring during a new moon, making for very dark skies. Between midnight and dawn Sunday will be the best time to see the annual spray of meteoroids from the tail of the Comet Thatcher. The Chicago Tribune reports that people looking to the northeast could see 10 to 20 meteors an hour. They will streak across the sky from the constellation Lyra and move straight overhead closer to sunrise. In some years, the ...

SANFORD, Fla. – The lawyer for George Zimmerman made a deft move Friday that exposed the prosecution's weaknesses when he called a state investigator on the witness stand during a routine bail hearing. A judge ruled Friday that Zimmerman can be released on $150,000 bail while he awaits trial on murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin during a Feb. 26 confrontation in a Sanford, Fla. gated community. Zimmerman apologized to Martin's parents, who were in the courtroom for the bail hearing, in a surprise appearance on the witness stand. Zimmerman is pleading not guilty and claims self-defense. "I am sorry for the loss of your son," said Zimmerman, marking the first time ...

Indeed, Oakland is the very antithesis of Barack Obama. Its chief executive loathes Obama. ...

Sweatshop labor is back with a vengeance. It can be found across broad stretches of the American economy and around the world. Penitentiaries have become a niche market for such work. The privatization of prisons in recent years has meant the creation of a small army of workers too coerced and right-less to complain. Prisoners, whose ranks increasingly consist of those for whom the legitimate economy has found no use, now make up a virtual brigade within the reserve army of the unemployed whose ranks have ballooned along with the U.S. incarceration rate. The Corrections Corporation of America and G4S (formerly Wackenhut), two prison ...

Welcome to crazy town or, perhaps I should say, crazy nation. The new normal in crazy nation includes a Special Forces style black hawk helicopter assault mission, complete with armed troops dangling out the door ready to “get some” or “give some” in down town Chicago. Of course, this was just a practice run to get the crazy nation shock troops ready to defend freedom when NATO and a bunch of dignitaries come to town in a few weeks. But, looking at some of the other material being purchased for the event, it becomes clear that the real threat is the people. Portable high security barriers, portable light towers, crowd control barriers and black hawks packed with combat ...

(CBS News) Ron Paul will soon put the smack down on the Federal Reserve - in a video game, that is. "The Road to REVOLution" is "side-scrolling platformer action/adventure game, reminiscent of console classics like Super Mario Brothers and Sonic the Hedgehog." The goal of the game is for Paul to become the President of the United States and shut down the Federal Reserve. In the game you play as Paul, who has to go through all 50 states to collect gold and delegates. Delegates earn Paul the title of President, while gold coins unlock branches of the Federal Reserve. Expect proper "baddies," as there are 13 boss fights in the game. Video game developer ...

Four dollars for a gallon of water? The dream of Monsanto and other corporations wanting to privatize water

(NaturalNews) Four dollars for a gallon of gas is ridiculous enough, but $4 for a gallon of water could someday became a reality, that is if oil tycoons like T. Boone Pickens and water bottling companies have their way. Privatization of water in which companies control the public's water sources and free water is a thing of the past appears to be what Pickens and corporations such as Monsanto, Royal Dutch Shell, and Nestle are banking on to increase their vast fortunes. Companies, brokers and billionaires are buying up groundwater rights and aquifers. Groundwater is necessary for agriculture and more water is needed to meet a growing demand for food. Many countries have already ...

Taxmageddon coming? Answer could cost Americans $500 billion

As many Americans were scrambling to get this year's taxes done, analysts were warning about a bigger tax day -- what some call a tax Armageddon, or "Taxmageddon," to characterize its potential effect on the U.S. economy. At the end of the year, some $500 billion in tax breaks expire all at once, hitting American households with an average tax increase of $3,800 -- if Congress doesn't act. The potential increases include $165 billion more from taxpayers as a result of expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, which would push taxes from a bottom rate of 10 percent and a top rate of 35 percent to a bottom rate of 15 percent and a top rate of 39.6 percent.

Much has been made about Mitt Romney, in 1983, putting his family dog Seamus in a kennel on top of his roof and driving from Boston to Canada, with said canine Seamus making his displeasure known in a rather scatological way. Democrats have signaled they have every intention of making sure the American people — especially dog-lovers — know the tale. In January, senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod tweeted a photo of the president and Bo in a car, with the snide observation: “@davidaxelrod: How loving owners transport their dogs.” The Romney campaign signaled tonight that they are not about to cede any ground when it comes to a candidate’s odd past with ...

The main figure in a General Services Administration spending scandal took trips to Hawaii, Napa Valley and South Pacific islands, all after the agency's inspector general warned top officials about the excesses. A timeline released by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Tuesday shows that GSA executive Jeffrey Neely took five trips totaling 44 days, including a 17-day trip to Hawaii, Guam and Saipan that he and his wife planned as a birthday celebration. All came after a May 2011 briefing by Inspector General Brian Miller on his preliminary findings. While Miller was still 11 months away from publicly releasing his final report on GSA spending, he issued the ...
Federal Appeals Court Upholds Most of Arizona Voter ID Law

In a ruling which demonstrated just how radical is the Obama Administration’s opposition to Voter ID laws, the very liberal U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld Arizona’s voter-approved 2004 law requiring voters to show proof of citizenship before receiving a ballot – a big victory in the battle against voter fraud in the runup to the November elections. The Appeals Court mostly shot down the challenges to the law, which had itself been upheld in Arizona U.S. District Court. Arizona can demand to see certain forms of identification that proves citizenship, the court ruled. And if someone doesn’t have those forms of ID, paying the fees to obtain the ID ...

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Secret Service is reportedly investigating faded '70s rock star Ted Nugent for his recent insistence he'll be "dead or in jail" in a year's time if President Barack Obama is re-elected in November. At a convention of the National Rifle Association over the weekend, the longtime gun advocate compared Obama and the Democrats to a coyote who should be shot. "It isn't the enemy that ruined America," he said as he reaffirmed his endorsement of Republican front-runner Mitt Romney. "It's good people who bent over and let the enemy in. If the coyote's in your living room pissing on your couch, it's not the coyote's ...
Moo-ving cows from Conundrum a challenge for U.S. Forest Service

. Several dead cows at Conundrum Hot Springs have U.S. Forest Service officials scratching their heads in an attempt to hatch a scheme to remove them before the spring thaw and hikers descend upon the popular backcountry destination at 11,200 feet. The cows were discovered by two Air Force Academy cadets when they snowshoed up in late March. They had planned to sleep in a Forest Service cabin but couldn’t because the animals were piled up in it, frozen solid. Upon their return to Aspen, they informed the Aspen ranger district for the White River National Forest. Initially Forest Service officials said they planned to blow the cows up with explosives — and they still might ...

Obama Administration Won’t Let Arizona Town Fix Water System Unless They Use Horses Written By: Rob Port, April 15th, 2012 - 12:21pm Tombstone, Arizona is located in a desert. As such, water supplies for the historic frontier town are pretty important. A lot of Tombstone’s water comes from water infrastructure located on federally-managed park land, as has been the case for roughly a century. Recently, though, forest fires and inclement weather has destroyed or damaged a lot of that infrastructure and local officials want the federal government to let them go in and repair it. But the federal government won’t let them do it…unless they use horses and hand tools: The ...
