"Robinson set a Michigan single-game total offense record (383 yards) in the opener against Connecticut and has since broken his own mark twice.

He has 905 rushing yards and 1,008 passing yards with more than a half-season to play.

Robinson has eclipsed 100 rushing yards in each of his first five games."

I HATE UM but this guy is a dream to watch.

THE NEW TEA PARTY CHALLENGE: Staying On Message.

Yes, don’t get distracted.

As this NPR story suggests, the powers-that-be would like nothing better than to see the Tea Party morph into a social-conservative movement instead of a small-government movement.

They can handle the former, but not the latter.

US apologizes for '40s syphilis study in Guatemala

My Way News - US apologizes for '40s syphilis study in Guatemala
"The NIH-funded experiment, which ran from 1946 to 1948, was uncovered by a Wellesley College medical historian.

It apparently was conducted to test if penicillin, then relatively new, could prevent some sexually transmitted infections.

The study came up with no useful information and was hidden for decades."

Umm...democrat president, congress....liberal college.......no news here folks.....just go home....

The Is What a Radical Republican Looks Like

The Is What a Radical Republican Looks Like - By Kevin D. Williamson - The Corner - National Review Online
"The Is What a Radical Republican Looks Like

October 1, 2010 12:12 P.M. By Kevin D. Williamson

Being a former member of the Republican party, I don’t often indulge my occasional desire to offer the GOP messaging advice.
But every time I hear Barack Obama say something like this . . .

It took time to free the slaves. It took time for women to get the vote.

. . . I wish the Republicans would response with an ad that says: “Yes, it took time to free the slaves.
Time and a Republican president.
One who had the courage of his convictions.”


As for women’s suffrage, the debate about the relative timing and importance of enfranchising women versus enfranchising blacks took place almost entirely within the Republican party.

You know the famous episode in which Susan B. Anthony was arrested for illegally voting?
The evidence against her was a note she sent to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, informing her that she had “positively voted the Republican ticket — straight.”
Take that, Rahm.

Frederick Douglass should be as much the face of the Republican party as Reagan and Goldwater.

If the GOP had any brains (I know, I know!) it would spend a fair amount of money reminding the world: This is what a radical Republican looks like:"

When will our republican party leaders own up to the courage of the republicans of old?

Employers face equality law nightmare as Coalition pushes ahead with Harriet Harman's Act

Employers face equality law nightmare as Coalition pushes ahead with Harriet Harman's Act Mail Online
"New equality laws masterminded by Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman have come into force today, threatening to create a political correctness minefield for recession-hit businesses.

Under the Act, vegans, teetotallers and atheists are to be given the same protection against discrimination as religious groups while gipsies and travellers will get special favours because of the 'many socio-economic disadvantages' they face.

There is also a provision which extends protection from third party harassment, meaning employers have a responsibility to shield their staff, where possible, from abuse by customers.

This has led to fears that bosses could be sued for jokes or comments that staff overhear and find offensive - even if it is not directed at or about them.

The Act, which ministers claim will help stamp out pay discrimination, have been slammed by employer groups who claim it will cost £189million to implement."

I might imagine that "jokes" about conservatives or rich people are not covered.....right

Well, I’m certain you’ll agree that detonating school kids, footballers and movie stars into gory pulp for ignoring their carbon footprints is attention-grabbing."

Watch this "green" produced video and be verry afraid.
