Fukushima Radiation Risks "Severely Underestimated" – remember fukushima… it’s still getting worse…

A Secret Scandal – “During the deepest, darkest period of the financial cataclysm, the CEOs of major banks maintained in statements to the public, to the market at large, and to their own shareholders that the banks were in good financial shape, didn’t want to take TARP funds, and that the regulatory framework governing our banking system should not be altered.

Occupy the Detention Van – cops arrest protesters, lock themselves out of their own van.

Wal-Mart is Larger than Norway – yet another very good reason to refrain from shopping there…

Life began with a planetary mega-organism – science may not have all the answers, but the answers they do have are A LOT more convincing (and cooler!) than anything “intelligent design” has to offer… 😉
