A "teabagger" is defined as: a man who dips his testicles into the mouth of another person (as if dipping a tea bag into hot water). Who's teabagging whom?

It's a case of good versus evil in Trenton and there are signs everywhere to prove it. A church is sending a message of hate, but it's not as bad as it sounds.
We all see signs everywhere, but this one is different and dare we say devilish. It's a message signed by Satan.
"He says that Metro South Church sucks," said Jon Whaley. Another reads, "MetroSouthChurch.com is killing me," and it is also signed Satan.
"There's so much noise out there that if you don't do something that's a little bit more on the edge, people just ignore it, and so we thought this will probably be creative enough to catch people's attention," said Youth Pastor Adam Dorband.It's a case of good versus evil in Trenton and there are signs everywhere to prove it.... more
When we speak of a country largely closed to the rest of the world as Iran is difficult to understand if the regime is solid, if really has support among the population, how long it can last. After the rigged election of Ahmadinejad and the protests in the streets with dozens of deaths and hundreds of arrests, some hoped that the islamic regime was close to falling.When we speak of a country largely closed to the rest of the world as Iran is... more
On Tuesday MoveOn has organized a nationwide rally to protest health insurance. Here is a local L.A. press release:
After weeks of rallies, letters, phone calls and public entreaty, the health insurance corporations are going to the mats. According to a complaint filed by the advocacy nonprofit Consumer Watchdog, WellPoint Inc and United Health Group are now coercing their employees to lobby against health insurance reform. Are WellPoint and UnitedHealth Group trying to game the system? If they support “free enterprise,” why are they afraid of competition? A new study by Survey USA shows robust public support for a strong Public Option in the upcoming health care reform bill. Seventy-seven percent – more than 3 out of 4 Americans – feel it is important for the uninsured to have a choice between a government-run health care insurance option and private coverage. Media Highlights: MoveOn members and participants are expected to have a visibly large and very vocal presence with signage and symbolic skeletons on stretchers. Jerry Flanagan, Health Care Policy Director for Consumer Watchdog is scheduled to be on hand for interviews at the rally in downtown Los Angeles, Tuesday 9/23 at 11AM at Figueroa & 8th Streets.

On Sept. 12th, 2009 thousands of patriotic Americans marched on Washington to voice their protest of massive government spending and their desire to not have government funded healthcare.
As we saw last weekend, there were lots of games with the numbers. The day before the event, Democrats warned that 2 million angry patriots could enter the capital while organizers of the Tea Party were only expecting 20,000-30,000–a move which seemed intended to build up expectations that might be let down the next day.
Then on Saturday there were wild numbers–wildly low and wildly high–which were difficult to verify. One which was wildly too high (2 million) was incorrectly attributed to ABC which later denied making such a report. On the other end, some claimed only thousands or even hundreds came out–but a simple check of area webcams revealed this to be a gross fallacy.
I have read in several places that D.C. police placed the crowd estimate at 1.2 million, though I’m not completely sure of the veracity of that claim.

French immigration minister Eric Besson has announced he will clear the makeshift tents in Calais known as the jungle. This report by Onyeka Igwe, reveals the true hell of the Calais ‘jungle’ and the incredible journeys migrants have made to get there. Besson claims clearing the ‘jungle’ is a humanitarian action, but this report tells a different tale and makes the case for Open Borders. Besson’s disgraceful initiative to preserve UK border controls is guaranteed to provide further hell for the aspirant young migrants whose only crime is wanting to make a better life for themselves. Besson is not offering migrants accommodation but is promising repatriation. Humanitarian? We don’t think so.

Tuesday 8 and Thursday 10 September 2009: Anti-arms campaigners took to the streets of London to protest the bi-annual Defence Systems and Equipment International weapons convention (DSEi).
In contrast to previous year's protests, campaigners from Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT) to activists from the Brighton-based Smash ITT/EDO campaign targeted the financial backers of the arms trade.
Tuesday saw a tour of London's financial district to hammer on the windows and throw shoes at the likes of Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Lloyds, British Telecom and Axa, where an attempt to storm the foyer left the main door somewhat shattered.
Thursday evening is traditionally the arms dealer's dinner, but this year the event was moved from the usual venue, the Dorchester hotel, to the Park Lane Hilton because Tony Blair's wife, Cherie, was holding her own dinner event.
The protest was entirely peaceful, if somewhat noisy - as you would expect a noise demo to be - but this changed (as the video shows) when private security - either from the Hilton or from the arms dealers themselves - attacked the protest. Section 14 of the Public Order Act was invoked and police tried to remove the 30 or so protestors to put them in a caged area, more commonly known as a "pen".
The protestors resorted to a sit-down demo. Some were removed and dragged away. At least eight were arrested.

Friday 11 September 2009: Far right group the English Defense League (EDL) called a protest along with the Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) outside the new Harrow mosque, North West London, on the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
When the EDL and SIOE supporters did not arrive, some youths in the protest - who, according to local community leaders, were not from Harrow - turned their aggression on the police. And when the police failed to retaliate these same youths then turned on the press, attacking and smashing cameras, and throwing fireworks into groups of photographers.
The photograph above shows some of the main protagonists of the violence. It is interesting to note these few were fully masked in balaclavas, wearing anonymous black clothing and even had hands covered with gloves to avoid skin colour (or tattoos) being detected.
Friday 11 September 2009: Far right group the English Defense League (EDL) called a protest along with the Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE) outside the new mosque in Harrow, North West London.
The protest did not happen. Several thousand people of all nationalities turned up to support the community and protect the mosque.
When the EDL and SIOE supporters did not arrive, some youths in the protest - who, according to local community leaders, were not from Harrow - turned their aggression on the police. And when the police failed to retaliate these same youths then turned on the press, attacking and smashing cameras, and throwing fireworks into groups of photographers.
At least seven people were arrested, some carrying weapons ranging from bottles of bleach to a hammer and chisel.
Harrow community leaders said this behaviour by a small minority had played into the hands of the fascist movement and will undoubtedly be used as anti-muslim propaganda, which the EDL has already done on its web site.
The EDL still claim they are not racist, despite concrete video evidence confirming otherwise.

So now we have it. What was it only 6months ago that face was Gorge Bush. What is wrong with this county ? Its the fact that people dont understand that situations here could be so much worse. Im not patriotic at all but I know for a fact the tea party and protest this year have gotten outrageous! Look over seas people are dying for us. There are people overseas who are also dying because they are truely in poverty and suffering.
Wich on that note I want to throw in the imigration arguments and jobs being sent over seas. Its because you the people are demanding higher wages. For jobs which the unemployed would love to have. You are going on strike because you feel like your daily jobs dont pay you enough. We are all are struggling to get by. What dose your standing outside do to fix anything. Except make matters worse. But dont call a man hitler.
OBAMA IS NOTHING CLOSE!!! WHEN HAS HE EVER STARTED A GENOCIDE ?

Victoria, B.C: The International Hempology 101 Society will be initiating a nation campaign to stop Bill C15. PHONE JAM will happen Monday September 14, 2009 from the 8 am in Halifax until midnight in Victoria. We will be calling senators all day to make sure that our senators are informed on this bill before the house resumes the next day.
Mandatory minimum sentencing (MMS) for drug crimes, as proposed for Canada in Bill C-15, have decimated the legal system in United States. We should not be following this example. Overloaded prisons, constant appeals, and powerless judges, all lead to large expenses and generalized punishment for non-violent drug offenses. 6 months in jail for growing 5 plants or sharing 1 joint is disproportionate, and will destroy the lives of many of the youth this law is supposed to be protecting.
According to Sarah Inness, spokesperson for the Canadian Bar Association, “The discretion vested with sentencing judges ensures meaningful distinctions made in the sentencing process, taking into account varying degrees of culpability. Judges are [also] able to impose sentences that emphasize rehabilitation…”. Locking low level dealers and old hippies planting a garden in jail, with hardened criminals unafraid of lengthy sentences, will only serve to increase gang control.
How To Stop Bill C15
Take the time to stand up for your personal liberty. Let the government know that we do not want live in a prison state. Write a letter, an email, or call. Please participate in our PHONE JAM, try to jam the lines of your favorite senator on September 14. Let your government know that we want to talk about theses issues.
Canada has 97 appointed Senators, call as many as possible.

People marching in protest of government spending on healthcare carried signs reading "BURY OBAMACARE WITH KENNEDY". Showing the consideration, class and common sense we've come to expect from these groups they descended on the Capitol to express their outrage. One wonders where these spend thrifts were when we were going in debt to Chine to finance an unnecessary war.
Why were these people so willing to spend money hand over fist to take lives in a contrived war overseas but the very same people are diametrically opposed to spending to save lives at home?People marching in protest of government spending on healthcare carried signs reading... more

Its not just about Politics, though Politics is also important here.
Its not just about numbers, though Numbers are important too..
It’s about Faces, So many of them…..
Faces who have seen too much in too little a time. …
Here you see many slums , but no millionaires.
You will find travellers but no destination….
These are internally displaced People of SWAT.
Many of them settled in IDP camps established..
at Mardan, Nowshehra and other areas,
while the majority chose to stay independent.
A large portion of these displaced people arrived at Karachi
where they are living with their relatives, or rented houses
with high rents. This is there story.
Bonier is situated around 60 miles from Islamabad.
An idyllic place with a history full of traditions, simplicity and peace.
All this changed one fine morning….
The terror had finally arrived Taliban’s.
They came with colourful Promises.
The promise of quick justice,
Divine Law, Sharia.
Soon the terror removed its masks and unveiled its true face.
The recent Operation by Pakistan against Taliban forces
For them this was a ray of light, a glimmer of hope.
But everything comes with a price.
The army needed space,
the collateral damage too much a political baggage;
they had to be removed from the war zone.
With in few days more than 1.5 million people left their houses…
and settled for different parts of Pakistan.
Even here, their miseries are far from over.
The new place offers them nothing but a reminiscence
of what they have left behind.
What could have been theirs?
These children are a product of fear;
these faces the faces under terror.
These faces need to be seen,
these voices be heard,
for they tell a story not covered in any of the debate rooms.
They tell why a combination of poverty, ignorance, deception and ultimate terror alters the course of human lives in such a short span of time.
These faces need to be helped.
Because in the end, they are all human faces.
