Dispensing truth in liberal doses...and...where on April 14, 2009 I went to bed a conservative gun owner but awoke the next morning, according to the DHS, a possible member of a right wing extremist group needing to be watched.

A PSA YOU’LL THANK ME FOR: HOW TO TURN OFF GOOGLE’S “PERSONAL RESULTS”
Assuming you are still using Google, here’s how to turn off the “personalization” option (which they conveniently opt you in for.)
Google recently rolled out its “Search Plus Your World” product, which essentially turns every Google search into a Google+ search.
“A little help from your friends,” Google says on its new Search Plus info page.
The new Search might be helpful if every result wasn’t tied to a Google+ page, that is.
Now, if you search for “sushi” images, you might get back an image result a friend has posted to Google+ (versus a result that’s relevant because it has climbed the ladder of Google’s PageRank algorithm).
Regardless of whether Google’s “Personal Results” raise anti-trust issues or not, these new results can be pretty annoying.
TYPICAL MONGREL-IN-CHIEF EXCUSE: BLAME BUSH FOR FOOD STAMPS!!!
What a pathetic pussy POS we have for a president who, after three years in office continues to blame his predecessor.
President Barack Obama today signaled an aggressive tact for his early re-election campaign, critiquing his Republican opponents by name and insisting he’s ready to “fight with every fiber of my being” for a second term.
“How much do you want it?” ABC News’ Diane Sawyer asked Obama during an exclusive interview in Las Vegas.
“Badly,” the president said, “because I think the country needs it.”
“Whoever wins the Republican primary is going to be a standard bearer for a vision of the country that I don’t think reflects who we are,” Obama said.
“I’m going to fight as hard as I can with every fiber of my being to make sure that we continue on a path that I think will restore the American dream,” he said.
Obama pushed back against what he called Republicans’ “rhetorical flourishes,” including Newt Gingrich’s oft-repeated contention that Obama is the “food stamp president.”
“First of all, I don’t put people on food stamps,” Obama said. “People become eligible for food stamps. Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me. No. 3, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government.”
SOMEONE’S LYING
I’ve been reading stories about how the F-35 can’t land on aircraft carriers.
This video seems to disprove that.
So who’s lying to whom?
UPDATE: Apparently this is a different version than the one the Navy wants to be able to land on aircraft carriers. That’s the one causing all the ruckus. This one appears to be a Marines variant. (thanks to commenter Odysseus)
WANT BANGERS WITH YOUR MASH? GO AHEAD!!!
Coffee bad. Coffee good. Sugar bad. Sugar good.
Chocolate bad. Chocolate good. Salt bad. Salt good.
Fried foods bad.
YAY!!!
They say there is mounting research that it is the type of oil used, and whether or not it has been used before, that really matters.
The latest study, published in the British Medical Journal, found no association between the frequency of fried food consumption in Spain – where olive and sunflower oils are mostly used – and the incidence of serious heart disease.
However, the British Heart Foundation warned Britons not to “reach for the frying pan” yet, pointing out that the Mediterranean diet as a whole was healthier than ours.
Spanish researchers followed more than 40,000 people, two-thirds of whom were women, from the mid 1990s to 2004.
At the outset they asked them how often they ate fried foods, either at home or while out. They then looked to see whether eating fried foods regularly increased the likelihood of falling ill from having coronary heart disease, such as a heart attack or angina requiring surgery.
