They managed to convince themselves that a solar farm would suck up all the sunlight.

Someone just spent a lot of money to buy the largest paper in the fourth primary/caucus state, and they aren't talking. As the company in question incorporated in Delaware only recently, the owners of the company that bought the paper (some speculate Sheldon Adelson is the mastermind) do not have to reveal themselves until after the Nevada primary. Whoever it is though, it seems almost certain that they plan to do some good, old fashioned yellow journalism before the election. As the article notes, quote:The sale has already engendered suspicions of infringement on editorial freedom, when, according to the Huffington Post, Taylor stopped the presses on Thursday night to remove references to questions about the new company's owner and a quote from editor Michael Hengel.

quote:"Our job is to be open to as many different kinds of listeners and readers as we possibly can reach, and the more you sound like you're calling someone a name, the less people will listen to you." Hey NPR, I hope you're as open to listening to others as you claim your listeners are, because I've got some news for you you're not going to like to hear... Not that this is at all surprising considering how tightly their leash is held by Republicans in Congress. EDIT: Remember, waterboarding isn't torture if Republicans disagree.

Senator Inhofe is beaming tonight. The GAO just came out with a report that accused the EPA of breaking the law with "covert propaganda" when it publicized its Clean Water Rule on social networks. In particular, the auditor slammed the EPA's attempt to use Thunderclap to get people to support the rule and for a blog post that linked to the Surfrider Foundation. The news comes as Republicans prepare to amend this week's spending bill to defund all enforcement efforts for the Clean Water Rule.

Ah, Glenn Greenwald, my favorite completely correct raging rear end in a top hat. NPR is pretty good as US news sources go but would be a lot better with a guaranteed source of funding not dependent on Republicans in Congress deciding graciously to permit their continued existence, despite obviously being Liberal Satan, or upon Viewers Like Us.

Man, watching this video is such a reminder at how horrible the Democrats were in the 90s. Supporting the idea that violent video games lead to murder, the de-regulation binge, all the lovely pieces of "tough on crime" legislation, welfare "reform" with Bill adding insult to injury saying the "era of big government is over". Not only that, but it's cause of the Clintons (and the Gores) that Power Rangers had to tone down its rock soundtrack because they complained that it sounded too "aggressive".

Police are searching for a 25-year-old man who threw a Molotov cocktail at the only Somali restaurant in Grand Forks, ND, destroying it. This comes after someone drew a swastika on the walls and wrote "go home" under it. He also bragged about it afterwards while getting Qdoba. It is unclear what the motive was behind the attack. e: Nevermind, they found him a few hours ago but the motive, alas, remains unclear.
