More than half of the public pools tested in a new study contained bacterial evidence that someone may have pooped in the pool.

WATCH: Soft tyranny like this leads down the path to hard tyranny......good view.

The Oregon attorney general's office opposed an appeal from Kip Kinkel, who killed his parents and two high school students in 1998 in Springfield.

The appeal, submitted in March, claimed that Kinkel's sentence of 111 years and eight months, handed down when he was 15 years old, amounted to cruel and unusual punishment and violated the Eighth Amendment.
Kinkel gunned down his parents at their home and went on a shooting spree at Thurston High School, where two were killed and 25 wounded. He accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to prison without the possibility of parole.

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) went on a rant during outgoing Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller's testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday, earning himself a standing ovation at its conclusion.


I liked watching this but, I think I could have had that pencil neck dweeb peeing his pants and crying like a little girl.

Computer viruses are on the rise worldwide for the first time in years, according to Microsoft security expert Tim Rains.

Viruses had become less popular among computer attackers in the past several years, Microsoft's Security Intelligence Report says. The term "virus," while commonly used to mean any kind of malicious software, is actually a very specific type of invasive program that, like a biological virus, infects a computer's existing programs and spreads along with those programs.

'For several years viruses…seemed to be out of favor with attackers.' - Microsoft security expert Tim Rains

Viruses often take more lines of code than other types of threats such as Trojans and password stealers, and are also much easier to trace and eliminate with the right software.


A national labor board which has long been accused of making union-friendly decisions was dealt another blow Thursday, after a second federal appeals court found President Obama exceeded his power when he bypassed the Senate to appoint its members.

The ruling by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia once again threatened to upend the National Labor Relations Board's decisions. And it has the potential to stall the board entirely, as well as challenge other federal agencies that have similar appointees.


“He has, acting personally and through his subordinates and agents, endeavored to . . . cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be initiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.”

Jay Carney, whose unenviable job is not to explain but to explain away what his employers say, calls the IRS’s behavior “inappropriate.” No, using the salad fork for the entree is inappropriate. Using the Internal Revenue Service for political purposes is a criminal offense.
It remains to be discovered whether the chief executive is guilty of more than an amazingly convenient failure to superintend the excesses of some executive-branch employees beyond the Allegheny Mountains. Meanwhile, file this under “What a tangled web we weave”:

Elitist Obama doesn’t like the military much. But he finally found a use for them. During his propaganda press conference about the various scandals in his regime he instructed the Marines set to protect him at all cost to ‘get over here’ and shield his highness and the Turkish PM from the rain.

Notice something interesting too for those who think the media has turned on Obama. Watch how they giggle along and even applaud after Obama demands the Marines to put an umbrella over him.

I stopped watching The Daily Show the day after the ’04 election, because Jon Stewart’s open grief was too much to bear. (I was a different person then.)

Plus, once I saw through his Clown Nose Off/Clown Nose On routine — “You should listen to me because what I’m saying is important, but I’ll brush off your rebuttal by insisting I’m just a comedian” — it was like the optical illusion with the cows. It might take you a minute to see it, but once you do, you can’t unsee it.

Which just makes this all the more delicious:


The thing is, one does not need to be an "Only One" to have the right to choose not to gamble one's life on delicate, failure prone technology--technology that even if it works as designed, could make firing the gun with an injured hand (or one's non-dominant hand) impossible, or that could conceivably be shut down with a "kill switch," whether used by the government or by some other entity that wants you defenseless.

Screaming winds of infernal violence alternate with periods of dead calm as one nears the surface of Uranus, according to a new analysis of the gas giant.

The turbulent weather patterns on gaseous planets has long been known -- think of the giant storm raging on Jupiter that makes up its famous eye. But little had been known about life on the surface of distant Uranus.

A new analysis of data taken by the spacecraft Voyager 2 during a fly-by in 1989 reveals the dynamic winds that lie on the surface of the planet, beneath an atmosphere thick enough to swallow the entire Earth.

And on the planet itself, things are surprisingly calm.



A Wisconsin woman saved her husband from an attacking black bear outside of their cabin by hitting the animal with a gun, authorities said.

Fox 11 reports that Gerre Ninnemann initially saw the bear running after his dog, Maddy, on Wednesday. He then went outside the Silver Cliff cabin to summon the 8-year-old yellow lab inside, but the bear chased and tackled Ninnemann, biting and clawing at his back.

“I came running out into the yard here, shouting, waving my arms at the bear, thinking that would care him away,” the retired financial planner told the station. “But it didn’t. All it did was leave the dog and come right for me.”

“I owe her my life." - Gerre Ninnemann

Ninnemann briefly escaped and ran to the corner of the cabin, but the bear mauled him again. Ninnemann's wife, Marie, then found a shotgun in the cabin’s basement, but she didn’t know how to load it properly. She instead took the weapon outside the struck the bear on its head, allowing her husband to escape. The couple then backtracked into the cabin with the gun pointed at the bear.
