Did anyone else out there sign up for this settlement? I just got my notice, but if you fall into the class, you're entitled to a freebie. In case you think this could be bogus, bellasugar posted on this too.

She is much more Religious Right then I like in Conservative politicians, but I still found her interesting.
The new wave of female firebrands striking fear into liberal America
Right-wing radicals are already pinning presidential ambitions on a mother-of-five from Minnesota who calls herself a 'fool for Christ' and condemns Obama as a socialist at the head of a gangster regime

Conservatives say they pushed Dede Scozzafava out of the House race in New York’s 23rd District a week ago because of her left-of-Republican social views — and not because she is a woman.
But the growing schism between the Republican Party’s ascendant right wing and its shrinking moderate core has clear gender undertones — and Scozzafava’s departure raises fresh questions about the GOP’s ability to recruit, elect and even tolerate the sort of moderate women who used to be part of its ruling mainstream.
While Republicans scored a pair of impressive electoral victories in New Jersey and Virginia with solid support among female voters, the events of the last week offer harbingers of serious trouble ahead with the largest swing voter bloc in the country — women.

On a balmy autumn day in Vancouver, a young man is longing for a walk outside in the sunshine, and deciding against it. Far easier for him to stay in his hotel room, cocooned in five-star luxury with a mobile phone that has run out of charge, safe at least from the girls chanting his name outside. Robert Pattinson, 23 and from Barnes in southwest London, ought still to be one of Hollywood’s beautiful dreamers, moving up the ranks of movie acting, enjoying his American adventure, his guitar, his good looks.

My apologies for having nothing originally in this post. The text was here but didn't show up.
Apparently this article is too long to be printed here, at about 11 pages. It is nevertheless worth reading, unless, as someone has already done, you have made your mind up what to believe before reading.

Sitting with friends for coffee this morning I posed this question "What are the REAL world issues?" It was interesting the answers that followed in that conversation. My friends are a really diverse group of people. We are not a group of "oh yeah- we all agree on everything" bunch.
I gleaned from our conversation about REAL world issues...and they are as follows:
Americans are tired, angry, frustrated, and getting impatient. Many of those from the religious right who voted for Obama because of a desire to be part of history in the making...are now frustrated and suffering buyers remorse.
Sure he just got the Nobel Peace Price but as all will agree, he himself said he didn't deserve it. The liberal groups are giddy as children who have consumed too much sugar, beaming with pride that their savior that finally has had an undeniable accomplishment. They feel they are finally making all the rest of us see the brilliance of a man who many others feel has simply been riding a rainbow to a pot of gold.
Speaking of rainbows, lets now consider that bold announcement that Obama's newest goal is to end the "Don't Ask-Don't Tell" era within our military. Seems he has realized that with so many gays within our military it would not be cost-effective to bounce them out of there after paying so much to train them. I believe he stated something to the effect that "we need these people to fight" so in a way we can possibly say he implies that "they should have an equal opportunity to die" so that is a Hmmmm...moment.

SAN DIEGO – University of California San Diego students returned to class Thursday amid an animated backdrop of walkouts, teach-ins and an employee strike designed to draw attention to severe state budget cuts.
About 200 students and faculty gathered at an afternoon teach-in to decry the impact of $82 million in state cuts, which have prompted student fee hikes, layoffs and unpaid furloughs.
