ECONOMY:

May jobs report is stunningly bad to some. I wasn't stunned.

""The U.S. is not an island, and what happens abroad matters here," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial. "The weakness in Europe, in particular, has a global reach and is affecting us.""

Sure. Blame others. The fact is the US economy is being temporarily raised by a flight to a perceived safe haven. Without that, our economy would further depressed. But the US is not a safe haven. It's just a little further behind on the curve of collapse.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

Spain's PM calls for Eurozone to set up central agency to control the budgets of all members. These countries were fools to fall for the euro scam, and they'd be bigger fools to give up their sovereignty. Why doesn't this guy control his own budget? Do you think Spaniards would accept a harsh budget from Brussels when they won't accept one from their own politicians?

EDUCATION:

One of the worst consequences of government prison-schools is suicides.

HEALTH CARE:

Task force recommends against hormone replacement therapy.

Government  money hasn't just corrupted climate science, it's also corrupted drug science.

""We were surprised to find the proportion of retractions due to scientific misconduct in the drug literature is higher than in general biomedical literature," said Simon Pickard, associate professor of pharmacy practice and senior author of a study published in the journal Pharmacotherapy."

Government money corrupts.

Kids don't eat vegetables because they drink sugary sodas instead of water.

Sugar is the new cocaine. Ban it! It's worked so well for other drugs.

WAR ON DRUGS:

Synthetic drugs illustrate the folly of the war on drugs.

POLICE STATE:

What else would you expect from an organization that funds itself through theft?

"Funds that give Ohio county sheriffs and prosecutors the freedom to quickly and easily spend money to pursue and prosecute criminals have become a go-to source to pay for office parties, $40 entrees, employee gift cards and gas for one official’s daily commute."

Just like the mafia.

How does a human bar code make society more orderly? Maybe in the sense that people can be rounded up and exterminated easier.

FOREIGN POLICY:

Syrian President Assad blames foreigners for massacre.

"Syrian President Bashar Assad denied Sunday that his government had anything to do with last week's gruesome Houla massacre, saying not even "monsters" would carry out such an ugly crime.

In a televised speech to parliament, Assad said his country is facing a "real war" and blamed foreign-backed terrorists and extremists for the bloodshed. He pledged to press ahead with his military crackdown."

It's only terrorism when the other side does it.

POLITICS:

More on the many similarities between Obama and Romney.

Republican establishment in Louisiana pulls major shenanigans, breaks the fingers of one Ron Paul supporter and physically assaults another. The Paul supporters still managed to get their delegates elected though.

RNC blocks attempts by Paul supporters to stage a three day festival before the Republican convention.

Bilderbergers want to see Ron Paul killed by Muslim terrorists in plane hijacking.

MEDIA:

The media uses the word militant to cover up the killing of civilians by US drone attacks.
