Remember when the U.S. was offered million of dollars in relief aid for victims of hurricane Katrina and it went unclaimed? I find it the height of hypocrisy for the U.S. to be critical of the military junta in Myanmar for aid efforts stalling. (7 of 6)

Imagine: Instead of having our mighty military in Iraq endlessly driving and flying around and shooting at an elusive enemy that we created, we instead moved it over to Myanmar and helped resolve this devastating problem. That's the United States of America I would like to live in. (Mike)

Fascinating story: Hard drive, from Space Shuttle Columbia (which disintegrated with 7 astronauts on board in February, 2003), containing research data intended to solve physics problem was recovered with 99% of data intact. (Mike)

This is just the most god-awful political video I've ever seen. (Mike)

California is running out of money, and running out of ways to pay its teachers. (Mike)

A case for Hillary. (Mike)

"Soaring food prices may throw millions of Asians back into poverty, undo a decade of gains and stoke civil unrest" (Mike)

The recession is starting to hit Las Vegas hard. (Mike)

In the supposedly tranquil province of Anbar: Four Marines killed in Iraq. Hello... American troops are still dying there... Does anybody hear me? Apparently not! (7 of 6)

Canada must choose on how to approach the American Northwest ban on Salmon fishing. (7 of 6)

Dear 7of6:

Everyone hears you just fine. They just don't care. Apathy by Americans is going to be our eventual downfall.

Well the weight of the world is FALLING And on my back I've been CRAWLING The state of affairs is APPALLING And the 6 o'clock news keeps CALLING Well I've been trying to see the world through their eyes Where black is white and day is night Left is Right Left is Right Left is Right, For me Well negotiations keep STALLING The United Nations keeps CALLING The Skeletons you're HAULING Won't hold when you're FALLING I’ve been trying to see the world through their eyes Where day is night and black is white Left is Right Left is Right Left is Right for me Put your head in the sand and you'll never know What's waiting for you in the depths below (below) Don't believe everything that you read Take what you want and keep what you need I’ve been trying to see the world through their eyes Where day is night and black is white Left is Right Left is Right Left is Right for me I said Left is Right Left is Right Left is Right for me For me, For me, For Me! TWISTED NIXON Written in 1998 after Johnny Punish who was sitting at the Las Vegas Hilton Sports Book and was hit by the absurdity of the place. It absorbed him and he wrote the phrase "LEFT is RIGHT for me" on a drink napkin. That night in a studio in the seedy back alleys of Las Vegas, LEFT IS RIGHT was born when then lead guitarist, Brian Jay Cline, wrote the clever verses while Twisted Nixon added the melodies. Sung by Brian Jay Cline, Left is Right is clearly Twisted Nixon's best ever in terms of a pop anthem. This song is the most requested song by fans. Produced by Paul Hampton of The Skeletones
