MSNBC Guest: Islamic World Didn’t Become Anti-Semitic Until America Sided With Jews…In a pretty remarkable sleight of logic, MSNBC contributor Hillary Mann Leverett amazingly used the existence of Jewish kosher restaurants in Iran as an intellectual trampoline to catapult herself, the 3 other contributors, and their ten viewers into an amazing conclusion - the Middle East never had a history of anti-Semitism until America sided with Israel in 1967.

‘Appalled by disgraceful shelling’: US urges Israel to ‘meet standards’, avoid civilian casualties
In a rare display of frustration, the US has stopped just a bit short of directly condemning Israel for yet another deadly shelling of a UN-run school in Gaza, and urged Israel to “do more to meet its own standards” of avoiding civilian casualties.  [This incident may have been staged by Hamas.]

If You Don’t Like The Truth… Litigate It Away
Snake oil salesmen and woo purveyors have deep pockets. Despite the claims of being corporate-paid shills and/or disinformation agents, scientific skepticism is primarily funded by small, private, grassroots donations. As a whole, the skeptical community is a large, well-informed collective that does have influence. Monetary support for skepticism is a drop in the bucket compared to the money or influence of people like Dr. Oz (whose net worth is estimated at $14 million), Deepak Chopra (estimated at $20 million), or the resources of the US supplement industry.

PICTURE STORY:  The Great Fire of Spokane, which happened 125 years ago this week, gave Spokane Falls what many feared was its "death blow." It destroyed most of downtown, reducing it to a tent city. The property damage was estimated at around $5 million or $6 million, but about half was covered by insurance. The post-fire land was actually worth more than it was before, since many destroyed buildings were old and rickety and had already "outlived their usefulness." At the end of 1889, the city's board of trade estimated that 500 buildings were under construction within the fire limits, mostly "in solid brick or stone, from three to seven stories high."As 1889 drew to a close, it became clear that Spokane Falls had dodged its "death blow." The rickety wood-framed town of 1888 had become the sturdy brick-built city of 1890. Spokane Falls had come of age.

Grimes, McConnell Trade Jabs At Fancy Farm
For a church picnic, the congregation at Fancy Farm is anything but reverent.
