Pope Benedict told scientists on Saturday that by believing only in "artificial intelligence" and technology they risked the fate of the mythical Icarus, whose home-made wings melted when he flew too close to the sun."Contemporary life gives pride of place to an artificial intelligence ever more enslaved to experimental tecnhiques, thereby forgetting that all science should safeguard mankind and promote his tendency to authentic goodness," the Pope said. The German-born Pope, a theology professor and an enforcer of Vatican dogma before his election as pontiff last year, has voiced his concerns about some areas of scientific research that clash with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. ...

 Olbermann: the beginning of the end of America |
This is a video that everyone who claims to be an American has to watch. It’s not long but most likely the most important video you will see in a long time. If you don’t take the time to watch it you obviously couldn’t care less and are most likely the type of person that caused this. ...

| After Pat’s Birthday |
It is Pat’s birthday on November 6, and elections are the day after. It gets me thinking about a conversation I had with Pat before we joined the military. He spoke about the risks with signing the papers. How once we committed, we were at the mercy of the American leadership and the American people. How we could be thrown in a direction not of our volition. How fighting as a soldier would leave us without a voice… until we got out. Much has happened since we handed over our voice: Somehow we were sent to invade a nation because it was a direct threat to the American people, or to the world, or harbored terrorists, or was involved in the September 11 attacks, or received weapons-grade uranium from Niger, or had mobile weapons labs, or WMD, or had a need to be liberated, or we needed to establish a democracy, or stop an insurgency, or stop a civil war we created that can’t be called a civil war even though it is. ...

| Envoy: 'German Jews feel unsafe'. Could it be because of what the Jews have allowed and sanctioned Israel to do? That could account for cause and effect. |
The Israeli ambassador to Germany has said he is concerned for Jews in Germany, against the background of what he says is rising anti-semitism there. Shimon Stein said the number of neo-Nazis in Germany had also increased. The interview appeared as neo-Nazi sympathisers gathered outside Berlin's Tegel Prison to demand the release of a singer jailed for 3 years. A court ruled that Michael Regener's band was spreading racial hatred. Mr Stein told the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung he believed there was a greater willingness on behalf of neo-Nazis to use violence. "I have the feeling that Jews in Germany do not feel safe. They are not always able to practice their religion freely," You don’t suppose the Israeli practice of bulldozing people’s homes and assassinating any they feel like, plus their latest invasion of Lebanon has anything to do upsetting people at what the Jews are permitting Israel to do, has something to do with the new wave of disgust now directed at today’s Jews? ...

| US undertakers admit corpse scam |
Seven undertakers in the New York area have admitted being part of a scheme to steal body parts for transplants. The criminal operation saw body parts removed from corpses without the consent of relatives and sold to biomedical companies. The body of veteran BBC broadcaster Alistair Cooke was among those used. Brooklyn district attorney Charles Hynes said that hundreds of parts were sold for millions of dollars, and that more people were likely to be charged. He said the 7, who have not been named, agreed to co-operate in the investigation and entered their pleas in a secret hearing. One of those who pleaded guilty was the undertaker who removed parts from the body of Alistair Cooke, who died in 2004 aged 95, A P reported. Four other people who have been named - Michael Mastromarino, Joseph Nicelli, Lee Cruceta, and Christopher Aldorasi - on Wed pleaded not guilty to charges of illegally harvesting bones and organs from up to 1,000 bodies, and were released on bail...

| US Republicans launch terror ad. They want you to wet your panties and vote Republican |
The US Republican Party has launched a controversial terror-linked TV advertisement to bolster support ahead of mid-term elections next month. The footage shows al-Qaeda leaders with captions of threatening statements, while the soundtrack of a ticking bomb plays in the background. The advertisement, which ends with the sound of a bomb exploding, is due to air from Sunday. Democrats have hit out at the commercial, calling it scaremongering. The strategy is to scare the so-called brave and not so free anymore, to vote for these assholes who has caused the problem in the first place. And if you think voting for Democrats will change anything other than replacing an empty suit for another, you just continue this charade. Get rid of all these assholes from both parties and let’s start with a new flock of Turkeys, just make sure they are not Republican or Democrats. Admit it, be honest with yourself, can we do any worse than what we have now? ...
