To my knowledge the USA, since the beginning of the nuclear age, has never stopped nor prevented any country from becoming a nuke power that wanted to be one regardless of which man or party was in control of the USA at the time. What makes this any different? This is similar to republicans becoming concerned with government spending all of a sudden. A huge load of horse manure or elephant dung at best. While we may be concerned with Iran becoming nuclear, they are a sovereign country and it really isn't any of our damn business. If you're going to worry about some nuclear country, it best be Pakistan.

Nor should Omaba bomb Iran. Israel will do what ever it deems is in their best interest whether Obama or the USA concur or not.

New tip leads Aruba to search for missing US teen
March 20, 2010 04:58 PM EST | AP

ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Authorities will search once again for a missing U.S. teen after an American couple took an underwater picture of what they believe might be Natalee Holloway's remains, a spokeswoman for the prosecutors' office told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The search is one of many that authorities have launched to find Holloway's body since the Mountain Brook, Alabama, teen disappeared while on vacation in Aruba in 2005. The 18-year-old was last seen leaving a bar with Joran van der Sloot on the final night of a high school graduation trip.

We've seen all sorts of ridiculous claims by performance rights collection societies trying to demand performance rights for things that clearly were not intended as "performances." There was the woman stocking shelves in a store who was singing without paying. There was the owner of a horse stable who played music to her horses. There was the attempt to say that your mobile phone ringing with a ringtone was a public performance. Basically, they're willing to claim just about any music playing is a public performance that requires yet another fee.

Niall.e points us to a legal issue in Europe, where the Irish High Court has asked the European Court of Justice to weigh in on a claim by the Irish collection society Phonographic Performance Ireland Ltd (PPI), which is claiming that music played in hotel rooms for guests requires a performance fee. Yes, you read that right. PPI is claiming that since the hotel provides radios and televisions in the guest rooms, they need to pay a performance right fee on the usage of those devices.

And shouldn't the manufactures of radios also pay a fee, especially for automobile radios that are entertaining communters?

Ahh, some smart lawyer saw an opportunity to make a buck!

Just when you think the criminals in Washington
could not possibly get any more perverse...

Joseph Lieberman and John McCain have come up with
a new way to "protect" you.

Hint: It involves arresting you, holding you indefinitely
without legal rights, and "interrogating" you...if it
is deemed that you *might* know something of
interest to the so-called government.

I kid you not.

The new bill is being considered right now.

Senators who opposed jobs bill come from states hit hard by unemployment

The U.S. Senate passed a jobs bill yesterday that aims to tackle unemployment by providing tax incentives to businesses that hire jobless workers.

The measure passed with unusually strong Republican support -- but as with the recent Senate vote on extending unemployment benefits, many of those lawmakers who opposed the bill come from states with above-average unemployment rates.

(So much for representation, eh? )

Facebook Users Targeted in Massive Spam Run
By Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service


Facebook's 400 million users have been targeted by a spam run that could infect their computers with malicious software designed to steals passwords and other data, according to security researchers at McAfee.



The messages appear to come from Facebook, with a return address that looks legitimate but has been spoofed, such as "help@facebook.com," Marcus said.

The messages say that the user's Facebook password has been reset and the user should download an attachment that contains the new password. The English-language messages are grammatically correct, but contain an odd sign-off: "Thanks, Your Facebook." McAfee has included a screenshot on its blog.

The attachment is actually a Trojan horse program, which infects a computer without any visible signs. Marcus said the spam run contained a variety of malware programs, including password stealers, rogue antivirus programs or botnet code.
