From FactCheck.org:
The American Leadership Project, an independent group raising large donations to support Clinton, is running two ads in Texas praising her health care plan. One misrepresents what FactCheck.org said about her plan. Another plucks a positive phrase, movie review-style, from a decidedly mixed analysis.
The first ad says FactCheck.org said that “Hillary Clinton’s healthcare plan would help every American get affordable, quality health care” while Obama’s plan would leave millions without coverage. What we actually said is that Clinton’s plan also “would leave out a million people or perhaps more.”
The second ad quotes The Washington Post as saying Clinton’s plan “beats anything else out there.” It could also have quoted the same article by a business columnist as saying that her plan contains features that are “bad tax policy and bad health policy” and that she was presenting her plan as “the health-care equivalent of a free lunch.”

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has decided to break off diplomatic relations with Colombia in response to the governments raid on a FARC rebel camp in Ecuador over the weekend.
“We want to tell you that Nicaragua is in solidarity with the Ecuadorian people and reiterating the right to respect the Hague International Court of Justice’s decision, respect a disagreement between Nicaragua and Colombia, and before the reiterated military threats of the Colombian government, we have decided to break diplomatic relations with Colombia,” said Ortega.
“We are breaking off relations because of the political terrorism being carried out by the government of Alvaro Uribe, not because of the Colombian people.”

PETA has announced that adult film star Jenna Jameson is set to star in their new “Pleather Yourself” campaign beginning March 10.

“As they say, all good things must come to an end, I look forward to whatever the future may hold for me. It’s been a great career, it’s over.”“I’ve given everything I possibly can give to this organization, to the game of football and I don’t think I’ve anything left to give.“I know I can play but I don’t think I want to.”
“I’d like to thank the Packers for giving me the opportunity…I hope that every penny they spent on me they know was money well-spent.”

Bush The Brilliant is unleashing the scare tactics yet again, this time saying:
“At this moment, somewhere in the world, a terrorist is planning an attack on us. I know that’s inconvenient thought for some, but it is the truth. . .To stop new attacks on America we need to know who the terrorists are talking to, what they’re saying, and what they’re planning. We cannot get this vital information without the cooperation of private companies.”
I think a new leader would be easier.
“An antiphishing bill that was introduced in the U.S. Senate last week could end up being used by large holders of trademarks to unfairly wrest legitimate domain names away from small businesses and individuals, according to a trade group that represents domain name investors and so-called direct search companies.” (Computer World)
Let’s break it down here a bit:
Once upon a time, a not so long time ago, a medium of marvel was born and it was named The Internet.
Like the California Goldrush of the 19th century, thousands flocked to the unclaimed territories that then defined the lands of The Internet and began to construct their own castles, countries, continents and, inadvertently, Virtual Realty.
Flash-forward 10 or so years. People are pissed they opted out and passed on history’s greatest investment and instead of getting even (strike 2 for poor judgement), they’re getting mad and if this bill passes, they maybe getting your domains. Read the rest of this entry »
