MADRID — Two earthquakes struck southeast Spain in quick succession Wednesday, killing at least 10 people, injuring dozens and causing major damage to buildings, officials said. It was the highest quake-related death toll in Spain in more than 50 years. The epicenter of the quakes – with magnitudes of 4.4 and 5.2 – was close to the town of Lorca, and the second came about two hours after the first, an official with the Murcia regional government said on condition of anonymity in line with department policy. Dozens of injured people were being treated at the scene and a field hospital was set up in the town of about 85,000 people, officials said. About 270 patients at a…

Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. When U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice publicly issued a statement saying that Libyan state troops were being given Viagra and then told to rape women as a weapon of terror, it was reminiscent of another empire that had reached its zenith and was rapidly declining. This empire, built on militarism and aggressive expansionism, was also trying desperately to use fear and mass hysteria, tools of propaganda. The year was 1945 and Germany was outnumbered and engulfed by Russia and the United states and its allies. When Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister for “Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda,” heard of isolated reports of women being raped, he…

May 11, 2011 No Comment
Chris Matthews Wednesday actually asked Ron Reagan, “Did [your father] really believe if you lowered the tax rates the government made more money?” Frankly, I'm not sure which was more absurd – the question or the answer (video follows with transcript and commentary): CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Ron, I got to get back to you and then to Doug. Did he really believe if you lowered the tax rates the government made more money? I mean, really believe it? RON REAGAN: You know, I think he actually — honestly, I think he did. All evidence to the contrary, I know, find me a time when that actually happened, but I think he believed somehow that that would happen. Well, let's see.
