By: Friday October 15, 2010 5:48 am

In a lame attempt to shift the public’s focus on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s use of contributions from foreign corporations and other overseas entities to fund its U.S. political activities, the Chamber claims the AFL-CIO does the same. Wrong!

Doubts About Christine O’Donnell Continue to Grow

By: Friday September 24, 2010 8:35 pm

There seems to be a growing sense of buyer’s remorse among both members of the Tea Party Movement and Republican Party regulars surrounding the primary win of Christine O’Donnell. Buyer’s remorse is a condition that arises after people have bought something or bought into something with a feeling of personal comfort that then disappears after the purchase.

By: Tuesday June 8, 2010 9:41 am

The Ocean Project, which consists of over one thousand aquariums, zoos, museums and conservation organizations, has designated June 8th “World Oceans Day.” This day, which earned official recognition from the United Nations General Assembly as the result of a resolution passed in December 2008, is a new celebrated day, and, as oil continues to gush at perhaps 100,000 barrels a day into the Gulf of Mexico (which connects to the Atlantic Ocean), this day carries even more significance.
