SOPA has NOT been postponed to 2012! The Committee members who support SOPA quietly changed the hearing date to the 21st, trying to trick the American people into thinking it was over for the year. This is dirty politics and should be illegal. Fight back. Let them know this is not over.

Whatever the reich wing is demanding - DON'T DO IT! Just don't bloody do it! no more! Enough is enough. This is our country, not the republicons' country. you say you are democrats - do what is best for the American people, not what's best for the lobbyists and plutocrats.

but you're right - once the hypothecation became rehypothecation and then hyperhypothecation of all the collateral the banks could scrape up (not just houses) including customer's deposits in the institutions, then we're dealing with massive fraud and destabilization of the entire financial system ..

the Gestapo to come toss my motel room. I just got my paycheck and got my dog back after coughing up $700 boarding bill, enjoying a little time playing when I get the "cop knock." Two City of Orange cops in the full gear pull me out of the room and spend 20 min tossing the place looking for dope because they can, despite me being clean for about 6 mos. Fingerprinted me, asked me for my phone#, Social Security #, work address, D/L #, but never asked to see photo ID.
I felt so much more secure after this little encounter, of course. I'm sure the taxpayers got their money's worth too...

As time goes on, it just keeps getting sillier, but of course, you can't laugh at or with them-- this is their job, and they really think they're serving society-- just like arresting cops at Occupy sites. Meanwhile, of course, the real criminals go unpunished.

It seems like every media outlet I know of is ignoring NDAA and SOPA and other important news that are important and changing our lives and society. Strange like that.
From Stolen Election to spurious acts of terrorism to the following legislation like the Patriot act to pre-emptive wars and torture to another Stolen election to more wars, police brutality and more draconian legislation like the NDAA and SOPA. Trends are not good when you look back a bit at the big picture. Historians will remember the infamous Reichstag Fire and the legislation that followed that. We need more courageous journalism outlets to cover these crimes and prevent further erosion of our society by being a strong fourth branch of government here in the U.S.A. the land of the free home of the Brave.

A new genetic test pinpoints your cavedwelling ancestry
Till now, we've had to rely on guesswork based on our officemates' forehead bulges, receding chins, and subliterate grunts to gauge how much Neanderthal is in their ancestry. No more! 23andMe, the popular personal genomics company that analyzes your DNA based on a saliva sample, has added a test for Neanderthal percentage into their analytic suite.
The test compares the contemporary human genome to the Neanderthal genome to calculate what percentage of your own DNA comes from that branch of the family.
"Most people have Neanderthal DNA, on average about 2.5 percent," according to 23andMe. "But there are outliers, who have much more."
