Video: Andrea Mitchell Tries To Corner Carly Fiorina…And Fails
by Shifra on May 29, 2015Another home run for Carly! Via BizPac Review: ….Mitchell just can’t figure out why Fiorina is being so mean to Hillary Clinton. Is it because she’s a woman? ….Clearly bothered by Fiorina’s bold attacks against Clinton’s dismal record as a career politician, Mitchell did more defending of Clinton than interviewing of Fiorina. Fiorina ate it up. “I think when 82% of the American people now believe that there is a professional political class more interested in preserving its own power and privilege than it is in serving the American people, people expect basic questions to be asked of anyone running for president,” Fiorina explained…. “It’s also true that as secretary of state she took women’s rights and human rights off...

Blah Blah Alert: Obama Drones On, Kid Interviewer Cuts Him Off
by Shifra on April 30, 2015Awesome kid. POTUS? Not so much… Via Washington Examiner: Obama endures his toughest interview yet An intrepid sixth-grader did Thursday what few in the press have ever had the nerve to do: let President Obama know when he’s being long-winded. Osman Yahya was not afraid to suggest during their interview that the president was rambling, cutting off the commander in chief so that they could move their discussion forward…. Part of the reason that the president prefers quiet sit-downs to the often crowded and sometimes hostile presser is that he can “control the length of the interview (short) as well as the length of his responses (long),” according to the Washington Post’s Erik Wemple. Yahya, it appears, is slightly different...

Your Morning Coffee…And Women’s History
by pamelarice on March 5, 2015**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By pamelarice** Well, considering all the good news being reported on about coffee in the past week – here is a bit of interesting piece of history…#GirlPower Via Refinery29: How Is Your A.M. Coffee Related To Women’s History? March is Women’s History Month (hurray!), and as a bona fide caffeine addict, I feel it is my duty to elevate and celebrate Melitta Bentz — without her, we might not have our morning drip coffee. Melitta was a housewife from Dresden who invented the paper filter using her son’s school notebook. Prior to this simple (and genius!) application of paper, cups of coffee were full of grounds, overly bitter, and the linens used to strain...

Guess Who Scored Higher On Science Quiz: ‘Warming Mongers’ Or Skeptics?
by Shifra on February 23, 2015Climate Change alarmists love to portray anyone who questions their “facts” as ignorant flyover-country anti-science morons who still believe the earth is flat. So, they will not be too happy with the following: Via Investor’s Business Daily: Are Global Warming Skeptics On Wrong Side Of Science? ….the findings of a study show that global warming skeptics score better on climate science questions than those who believe man is causing the planet to warm through the combustion of fossil fuels. A paper that will appear in the journal Advances in Political Psychology says that, on average, skeptics got 4.5 questions right while the followers of the faith averaged four correct answers. This doesn’t mean skeptics are more informed; it just means...

Sgt. Reckless: The Only Horse To Become A Marine Sergeant
by Alain41 on August 11, 2014**Bumped Up From TAM Wire. Posted By Alain41** Sgt. Reckless was a mongolian mare purchased in Korea to take military equipment up the Korean hills during the war. Received two purple hearts, liked to drink beer, and was promoted to USMC Sergeant after the war. Story is a nice antidote to Pres. Feckless, present and unaccounted for, Sir. Via NY Post: Meet the only horse to become a Marine sergeant Sixty years ago, a barrier was broken for the US military — the first animal ever was promoted to sergeant. But Reckless the horse was no ordinary beast. Serving with valor in Korea, she saved the lives of fellow Marines and was decorated with presidential citations and two Purple Hearts....

Premature Detonation: Suicide Bomber Kills Himself While Parking
by Tammy on March 15, 2014Alternate headline? “Somali Islamist Go Boom.” Yeah, that parallel parking will kill you. Oh, wait… This is how all Islamist terrorist suicide bombings should go, with the scum only killing himself. In this instance, the premature detonation happened while he was parking. Funny they should have driving bans on women when the boys can’t even park without killing themselves. Allah Akbar indeed. Your Feel Good story for the weekend 🙂 Suicide Bomber Kills Self MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A Somali police officer says a suicide car bomber accidentally detonated his explosives near a popular hotel in the Somali capital. Capt. Mohamed Hussein said the bomber appeared to have prematurely detonated his explosives-laden car Saturday as he tried to park near...

You Will Love This! Budweiser’s Super Bowl Ad “Puppy Love”
by Tammy on January 29, 2014Pretty wonderful. Via AdWeek. We hadn’t seen any major breakout hits among the 2014 Super Bowl teasers and full ads this week. But this 60-second Budweiser spot from Anomaly, released Wednesday morning, is destined for great things. It’s a sequel of sorts to last year’s “Brotherhood,” one of the strongest and best-loved Bud ads in a long time, about a baby Clydesdale and its trainer. Sticking with the baby theme, this year’s spot is about a 10-week-old puppy who keeps escaping his own breeder’s home and makes friends with the Clydesdales on a nearby farm… In terms of visuals and pacing, the spot is almost absurdly well produced and directed by RSA’s Jake Scott. The scenes come off as both...

Music Score May Have Secret Code Leading to Nazi Gold
by Tammy on September 23, 2013Neat! Via Fox News. A Dutch filmmaker has organized a series of digs for lost Nazi riches in a small Bavarian town — spurred by a sheet of music some claim is actually a coded treasure map. Spiegel Online reports Leon Giesen, 51, has led three attempts in recent weeks to unearth the rumored buried loot in Mittenwald, near the Austrian border – after the town’s officials signed off on the hunt. The strange sequence centers on the recent public revelation of an annotated score of the “March Impromptu,” a piece of music by composer Gottfried Federlein, the news agency reports. According to Spiegel Online, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler ordered his private secretary, Martin Bormann, during the final days of...

‘Trillions of Carats’ of Diamonds Found Under Russian Asteroid Crater
by Tammy on February 15, 2013Wow. “Helicopters are forbidden from flying over it in case downward air flow sucks them in…” Via Wired. The Russian government has revealed that a vast quantity of high-quality diamonds rests beneath a Siberian impact crater, numbering in the “trillions of carats”. The Popigai crater, 100km-wide and located in the isolated north of the country, was formed roughly 35.7 million years ago by the impact of an asteroid estimated to be between five and eight kilometres wide. Its collision created a wealth of impact diamonds — which form when an existing diamond seam is hit by a large falling body — in such quantities that could, it is claimed, supply the world diamond market for the next 3,000 years. According...

Monopoly Making Token Game Piece Change, Vote on Which One To Retire
by Tammy on January 9, 2013I’ve always loved Monopoly, it’s been my favorite board game since childhood. My token was usual the dog, and if could get him, I’d choose to the top hat. Now Monopoly will be returning one of the iconic token and adding a new one, two of which look like they could become my new faces–a cat or a robot. The good news is we get to vote on which classic token they’ll be tossing (I’ll be voting for the wheelbarrow or the iron). You can vote at their Facebook page. And they will be releasing a special edition game with all the current tokens and the entire batch of possible new tokens, including cat, toy robot, guitar, helicopter, and diamond...

Where and When to See Sunday’s Solar Eclipse
by Tammy on May 18, 2012Get ready Western US and Asia! On May 20, our moon will pass between the Earth and the sun, creating a brilliant annular solar eclipse for some viewers and an equally amazing partial solar eclipse for many others. An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon is at a certain distance from the Earth, so that it appears relatively smaller than the sun; in a total eclipse, the moon appears to be the same size as the sun. This all happens because the moon’s orbit around the Earth isn’t a perfect circle but rather is an ellipse, putting it sometimes a bit further from the Earth than others. An annular eclipse gets its name due to the ring, or annulus,...
