An Italian court has convicted three Google executives in a trial over a video showing a teenager with Down’s Syndrome being bullied.

The Google employees were accused of breaking Italian law by allowing the video to be posted online.

Judge Oscar Magi absolved the three of defamation but convicted them of privacy violations.

The UK’s former Information Commissioner Richard Thomas said the case gave privacy laws a “bad name”. Read the rest of this entry »

Lets sweep these high pressure people out and get back to a Country that is not run by SPECIAL INTEREST, and LOBBIES T, one that is run by the people for the people.

Lets gets back to the late 40s to the early 60s when you could buy some thing before the greed started. At least people could afford to live on what they made.

Lets get this Country back to prosperity where it used to be, so you have lower wages but you also have lower taxes, then maybe more people will be put back to work. If people work money comes in, people don’t work no money comes in, so which do you want jobs with big wages and high taxes, or lower wages with lower taxes. And lower wages mean lower prices, it is time to stop being greedy, this gos for CEO, put that money back into the company, prices will come down and people will be able to afford to buy your products, this covers every thing like, homes, cars, insurance, food and so forth.That gos for the Government, live with what you have and nothing more.

Hundreds of people taking Avandia, a controversial diabetes medicine, needlessly suffer heart attacks and heart failure each month, according to confidential government reports that recommend the drug be removed from the market.

The reports, obtained by The New York Times, say that if every diabetic now taking Avandia were instead given a similar pill named Actos, about 500 heart attacks and 300 cases of heart failure would be averted every month because Avandia can hurt the heart. Avandia, intended to treat Type 2 diabetes, is known as rosiglitazone and was linked to 304 deaths during the third quarter of 2009.

“Rosiglitazone should be removed from the market,” one report, by Dr. David Graham and Dr. Kate Gelperin of the Food and Drug Administration, concludes. Both authors recommended that Avandia be withdrawn.

The internal F.D.A. reports are part of a fierce debate within the agency over what to do about Avandia, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. Some agency officials want the drug withdrawn because they believe there is a safer alternative; others insist that studies of the drug provide contradictory information and that Avandia should continue to be an option for doctors and patients. GlaxoSmithKline said that it had studied Avandia extensively and that “scientific evidence simply does not establish that Avandia increases” the risk of heart attacks. Read the rest of this entry »

As Climategate scandals continue to expose widespread fraud in the global warming “scientific” community, three major companies this week announced their withdrawal from the United States Climate Action Partnership (USCAP), a lobbying group of businesses and radical environmentalists that “have come together to call on the federal government to quickly enact strong national legislation to require significant reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.”

BP America, ConocoPhillips and Caterpillar were the largest companies to withdraw from the group this week revealing a refreshing new boldness from companies once browbeaten by radical environmentalists into supporting “global warming” legislation.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), top Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said he wasn’t surprised by this turn of events.

“With cap-and-trade virtually dead this year and the credibility of the UN’s global warming science collapsing, it is no surprise that companies are questioning whether job-killing global warming legislation — no matter how beneficial to their own bottom lines — is really a sound policy after all,” Inhofe told HUMAN EVENTS. “They apparently now see that it’s not. The American people support alternative energy — but not with policies such as cap-and-trade that tax the energy they use now. The best option, the one that Republicans support, is to use all of our domestic energy resources in a way that creates jobs, strengthens energy security, and keeps energy affordable and reliable.” Read the rest of this entry »

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday afternoon:

Thank you to Jay and to Scott for those generous introductions. Both these men have made real contributions to our nation. It’s good to be back at CPAC. I can’t think of an audience I’d rather be addressing today.

I spent the weekend in Vancouver. As always, the Olympic Games were inspiring. But in case you didn’t hear the late-breaking news, the gold medal in the downhill was taken away from American Lindsey Vonn. It was determined that President Obama is going downhill faster than she is.

I’m not telling you something you don’t know when I say that our conservative movement took a real hit in the 2008 elections. The victors were not exactly gracious in their big win: Media legs were tingling. Time Magazine’s cover pictured the Republican elephant and declared it an endangered species. The new president himself promised change of biblical proportion. And given his filibuster-proof Senate and lopsided House, he had everything he needed to deliver it.

They won, we lost. But you know, you learn a lot about people when you see how they react to losing. We didn’t serve up excuses or blame our fellow citizens. Instead, we listened to the American people, we sharpened our thinking and our arguments, we spoke with greater persuasiveness, we took our message to more journals and airwaves, and in the American tradition, some even brought attention to our cause with rallies and Tea parties.

By Bob L. We need change and to have an honest Government the is open to the people and not hide behind closed doors.

If there were more people like Ted Nugent, Chuck Norris, just a few of many who believe in this Country, would step forward and get people off their butts, then this and past administrations  would not get away with what they are doing.

We need to get the yuppies, and the chicken little’s who think the world is ending to stop listening to the whiners who are complaining, and trying to make every one think that the world will end if you don’t listen to them, and believe every thing they say.

I just returned home from another U.S military function where it was my honor and privilege to be among the finest people in America. Nothing is more satisfying and rewarding than spending time with our warriors and their families.

Our military is a discriminatory institution. It discriminates based upon age, weight, eye-sight, physical disabilities, and the overall essentiality of a warrior spirit. The military discriminates because it knows that killing the enemy in the most expeditious manner and winning wars is its mission, and that discriminating against certain people is the absolute best policy to ensure complete and total victory. Who could possibly believe that’s a bad idea?

Not everyone can be a member of our military. Americans have no constitutional right to join the military. I was denied enlisting in the Marines a couple of years ago even though I offered to supply the Marines with all their ammunition requirements for a year if they would allow me to join. No luck for the MotorCity gimpy guitarslinger. Read the rest of this entry »
