Print Dan Riehl Follow Read Full Bio Is There a Space Gold Rush in Mankind's Future? Powerful and forward-thinking players are coming together with the launch of the Planetary Resources company to begin work on what could potentially create a sort of "Gold Rush" in space, as man's quest for knowledge and wealth continues to grow, eventually perhaps one day moving beyond being Earth-based. Informed observers view it as having the potential to conduct asteroid mining of whatever natural resources may be available within Earth's closest planetary neighbors. 19 Apr 2012 GOP Channels Reagan to Avert Economic Tailspin Republican Leader Eric Cantor’s Small Business Tax Cut Act is set for a vote Thursday, lending weight to what is sure to be a critical election year debate. In endorsing the plan, flat tax advocate Steve Forbes took to the pages of Politico to point out some potentially disastrous economic times ahead for America, depending upon upcoming events and the results of Election 2012. 19 Apr 2012 Saudi Arabia Bans Gays, Tomboys from Schools Saudi Arabia's conservative religious faction is instructing schools and universities not to admit tomboys and gays, unless their behavior is addressed and supposedly corrected. The report does not name the newspaper cited as a source, nor are there any names attached to the new order, reports Emirates 24/7. 16 Apr 2012 Bo Xilai: Murder Mystery, Potential Coup, or Both? Is the story of the downfall of once influential Chinese politician Bo Xilai and his wife Gu Kailai the elimination of a threat to the mainstream but corrupt Communist Party leadership, a financial scandal and murder mystery, or some combination of the two? 16 Apr 2012 NH Gov: Three Years In, Obama Still Unqualified for Presidency New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) and other local Romney supporters greeted V.P. Joe Biden when he arrived in N.H., chiding the administration with a comment Biden had made in the 2008 primary. Sununu said after three years in office, Obama still doesn't have enough experience to be president. 12 Apr 2012 Zimmerman Arrested, to Be Charged with 2nd Degree Murder The AP reports that George Zimmerman is in custody and will face charges for second-degree murder. No word yet from New Black Panther Party leaders if they're upset at not being able to exact their particular brand of justice. 11 Apr 2012 Matt Lauer: Editgate Segment 'Sloppy,' 'Not Acceptable' So what if "the most powerful face in news," Matt Lauer, was steering widely-viewed "TODAY" show coverage when it racially inflamed a nation by using a manipulatively edited recording of George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin shooting incident? He looks good reading from a teleprompter and would never air something like an "ogling piece" featuring images of Lara Flynn Boyle's bad plastic surgery. That would be irresponsible and beneath him, one must suppose. 11 Apr 2012 Obama Won't Question His Opponent's Patriotism Like He Did McCain's "I’m not somebody who, when we’re in a political contest, suggests somehow that one side or the other has a monopoly on love of country," claimed Barack Obama yesterday at a posh, $10,000-a-plate "intimate" Palm Beach fundraiser held in the home of union buster Hansel Emory Tookes II. The claim stands in stark contrast to Obama's questioning of John McCain, who spent years in a Hanoi POW camp, for, in Obama's view, McCain's lack of patriotism. 11 Apr 2012 France: Syria Lying, Still Slaughtering Civilians A French foreign ministry spokesman claims Syria is implementing "none of the elements" of Annan's plan. He went on to claim that Syria is killing hundreds of people a day at home using heavy weaponry and helicopters to fire on populated areas, "massacring its own people but violating the sovereignty of its neighbours" by firing on Syrian refugees who made their way to Turkey. 10 Apr 2012 Breaking: Bill Gates Foundation Withdraws Support for ALEC The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has withdrawn its support for the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), according to a report by the liberal corporate free speech police site, Republic Report. 9 Apr 2012 Previous 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Next
