Next. One Great Myth Down. What’s Next?
Wally Wallington is a retired carpenter that might have stumbled upon the key to how ancient civilizations created ‘impossible’ things like Stonehenge. Check out Wally’s braniac techniques:
Mr. Wallington, you sir, are a badass. Most folks only discover what it’s like to be heavier by sitting on the couch more with their free time. You, on the other hand, have shed some new light on a question that many folks have been asking for quite a while.

Occupy Wall Street…
What up folks? Normally we’re not too serious around here, but sometimes we gotta stop laughing at everything and don our serious faces for a moment. Corporations have been taking advantage of ‘the people’ for too long. Things are out of control.
“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind” -Bob Marley/Marcus Garvey
The Occupy Wall Street movement is refreshing to see. People doing what we would have done in the 60′s. Standing up for our rights, making voices heard, and actually DOING something. It’s nice to see. Here’s the first official, collective statement from the protesters in Zuccotti Park:
As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.

The Truth About the Tea Party…
Sitting in the jury room today, I noticed an issue of Rolling Stone magazine (Oct. 2010) next to me with the cover story tagline “The Truth About the Tea Party”…and of course, I couldn’t resist. Sure enough, it was a great read. The problem is, that I, nor most folks that actually would read through it, are the one(s) that need to read it. Anyway, I figured I’d share. Some very good points made about the mess that is the Tea Party Movement:
Matt Taibbi takes down the far-right monster and the corporate insiders who created it. It’s taken three trips to Kentucky, but I’m finally getting my Tea Party epiphany exactly where you’d expect: at a Sarah Palin rally. The red-hot mama of American exceptionalism has flown in to speak at something called the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, a gospel-music hoedown in a giant convention center filled with thousands of elderly white Southerners. Palin — who earlier this morning held a closed-door fundraiser for Rand Paul, the Tea Party champion running for the U.S. Senate — is railing against a GOP establishment that has just seen Tea Partiers oust entrenched Republican hacks in Delaware and New York. The dingbat revolution, it seems, is nigh.
