Like many others, I spent much of today watching in horror the shooting of 19 people including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. It was a tragedy not only for the families of the victims but for all of America. The shooter’s name was Jared Lee Loughner. Almost immediately the Left raced to say the shooting was the fault of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, the Right countered that evidence shows Loughner was an… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : YID With LID Discovery Date : 09/01/2011 07:45 Number of articles : 6

Not one to be one-upped by Hertz — which already announced a plug-in rental program that’ll include the almighty Tesla Roadster and the diminutive Smart Fortwo — Enterprise Rent-A-Car has just announced that it’ll be the first to offer Chevrolet’s Volt later in the month. The company’s Mark Christopher Auto Center in Ontario, California will have an undisclosed amount in stock for daily and weekly rentals, and it sounds as if it’ll be grappling for more just as soon as they roll off of the production line. For those who can’t quite make it down to the desert, Enterprise will be offering 500 Nissan Leaf vehicles nationwide, with charging stations already installed in Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Monica. No word on what type of fee you’ll be hit with when you bring it back with only 20 percent of the batteries charged, but you can rest assured the bigwigs at Enterprise are already thinking about it.

Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling. “Here reign the successors of the poor fishermen of Galilee,” Petrarch mockingly wrote, “they have strangely forgotten their origin.”(1) What prompted Petrarch’s memorable and philosophical critique was a seventy-year “spiritual” coup led by King Philip IV of France. Since the Church administered the sacraments of God’s grace and served as the true guardians of salvation during the Middle Ages, whoever controlled and dominated the papacy controlled the people. When King Philip moved the seat of the papacy from Rome to the southern French town of Avignon, it was just one of many conflicts that for centuries had existed between the State…

The sheriff can be excused in part, because of his emotional state. He knew some of the gunshot victims personally. Unfortunately, he went beyond the bounds of reason and common sense to take some oblique political potshots at his press conference. If there was any doubt as to who these “vitriolic radio and TV” personalities were that he cited, the left wing crazies didn’t. They are coming out of the… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Say Anything Discovery Date : 09/01/2011 06:01 Number of articles : 6

NetTalk hasn’t exactly made it easy for the world to believe in all of its claims, but things are just getting loco at this point. The NetTalk TV has been introduced here at CES, touted as a companion device to the Duo that provides ultra-low cost digital TV service. Reportedly, the bantam box offers HDMI / S-Video / composite outputs, Ethernet and WiFi, and it’ll enable consumers to receive only the standard- and high-definition content that they want. According to the company, this allows individuals to detach themselves from the high-priced cable packages that force you to pay for 50 channels (when you only need three), but here’s the kicker: there are no details whatsoever provided in the press release after the break. Not even a price. We’re told to expect shipments in Q3 of this year, followed by undoubted disappointment as you begin to understand that it won’t be NetTalk to finally convert the
