The Floating Opportunity in Colombias' Katrina

I would like to thank Mr. Cameron Sinclair and the Huffington Post for providing somehow the coverage this humanitari­an and environment­al catastroph­e is lacking in the U.S. mainstream media. Even if it stopped raining now, the difficulti­es wouldn't stop there, since 2 Million colombians have been already damaged by the heavy rains and the floods.

Anyway, fortunatel­y the government and authoritie­s are aiming big this time and they really want to tackle several problems underlying and predating the current state of affairs. There's already talks of abandoning old settlement­s and starting new, safer and better ones.

The U.S. aid have been a major factor to stop the flooding in several areas, I have to add. Those americans who are helping in the engeneerin­g tasks have already realized this emergency wasn't any different from what the Katrina hurricane already did in New Orleans.

To all these people, I would like to say thanks, too.

Soros: I Can't Stop a Republican "Avalanche" - NYTimes.com

I really like Dr. sipmac's look!!!
Soros: I Can't Stop a Republican "Avalanche" - NYTimes.com
How can an unrepentant, certified Nazi collaborator thrive nowadays in the USA? Well, you can champion liberal and socialist causes, as George "I-own-the-Democrat-Party" Soros does, and get away with it. The amazing thing is not that there is people out there willing and able to take his bloody money and do whatever he wants. It is not his Dr. Evil look, either. What amazes me is the double standard of the New York Times and Democrat voters that keep remarkable silent about his sinister past. Kurt Waldheim was duly stigmatized and morally sanctioned by those that are missing Mr. Moneybags to contribute to the current electoral debate that will take place in november.

George Soros, the billionaire financier who was an energetic Democratic donor in the last several election cycles but is sitting this one out, is not feeling optimistic about Democratic prospects.
Oh, poor souls. Now it's official. The Democrats are hopeless (no pun intended) and helpless. A lost cause. The tycoon is stepping out of this one, because he has more common sense than his sponsored sock puppets.
Mr. Soros, a champion of liberal causes, has been directing his money to groups that work on health care and the environment, rather than electoral politics. Asked if the prospect of Republican control of one or both houses of Congress concerned him, he said: “It does, because I think they are pushing the wrong policies, but I’m not in a position to stop it. I don’t believe in standing in the way of an avalanche.”
Translation: I'm too busy drilling and finding oil in Brazil to take care of you. Besides, it is making me richer. You are now costing me real money, and you didn't even manage to keep people interested in voting Democrat.

Well don't count on him stepping outside politics forever. This is the guy that tried to sink the french currency by his own means. Soros has a lot of power. Which brings me to the question:

Ever noticed how liberals always point their fingers to those "corporate whores", a.k.a Republicans, but never say a word of how Democrats receive money from Wall Street and... yes, Soros?

Robaré el mojo de Dr. sipmac. Jijijí!
Soros: No puedo detener la avalancha republicana - NYTimes.com
¿Cómo puede un colaborador nazi certificado prosperar hoy en día en los EE.UU.? Bueno, sí es posible si se apoya las causas liberales y socialistas, tal como lo hace George "Yo-soy-el-dueño-del-Partido-Demócrata" Soros. Lo asombroso no es que haya gente ahí fuera dispuesta y capaz de tomar su dinero sangriento y hacer lo que él ordene. No es su look de Dr. Evil, tampoco. Lo que me sorprende es la doble moral del New York Times y los votantes demócratas que guardan un silencio notable sobre su pasado siniestro. Kurt Waldheim fue estigmatizado y moralmente sancionada en forma merecida por los que echan de menos al poderoso cabellero Don Dinero para contribuir al actual debate electoral que se llevará a cabo en noviembre.
George Soros, el financiero multimillonario que fue un entusiasta donante de los Demócratas en las últimas elecciones, pero está por fuera de ésta, y no se siente optimista sobre las perspectivas del partido.
¡Ay, pobres almas! Ahora es oficial: los demócratas no tienen esperanza; son una causa perdida. El magnate quiere salirse de esta, porque tiene más sentido común que sus títeres patrocinados.

Soros, un defensor de la causa liberal, ha estado dirigiendo su dinero a grupos que trabajan en la reforma del sistema de salud y el cuidado del medio ambiente, en lugar de la política electoral. Consultado sobre si la perspectiva de control republicano de una o ambas cámaras del Congreso le preocupa, dijo: "Sí, porque creo que están apoyando malas políticas, pero no estoy en condiciones de detener esto. Yo no creo en mantenerme de pie en el camino de una avalancha ".

Traducción: Estoy demasiado ocupado en la perforación y la búsqueda de petróleo en Brasil para cuidar de Ustedes. Además, esto me está haciendo más rico. Ustedes ahora me están costando dinero real, y que ni siquiera logran mantener a las personas interesadas en votar demócrata.

Bueno, no cuenten con él retirándose de la política activa para siempre. Este es el tipo que trató de hundir la moneda francesa por sus propios medios. Soros tiene una gran cantidad de energía. Lo que me lleva a la pregunta:

¿Alguna vez ha notado cómo los liberales siempre apuntan sus dedos a las "prostitutas corporativas", también conocidas como Republicanos, pero nunca dicen una palabra de cómo los demócratas reciben dinero de Wall Street y ... sí, Soros?

PHOTO: Pre-Chicken Nugget Meat Paste, AKA Mechanically Separated Poultry

Plain gross and obscene... and it's your meal

How do you spell D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G? Once you take a look, you will never eat another piece of Soylent Pink... er, chicken nugget. I don't mind when people is trying to make a profit, but this is way beyond the line. Soaking the meat in ammonia? Reflavoring it because it tastes like... ammonia? Dyed with artificial color? Can the result of this proccess still be considered food?
UPDATE, 10/4/10: The story has been amended to reflect that although mass produced chicken nuggets at large may contain mechanically separated chicken, McDonald's famous McNuggets no longer do contain "mechanically separated poultry as defined by the federal government. The USDA now requires foods with mechanically separated poultry to be labeled as containing "mechanically separated chicken or turkey" in their ingredients lists.

Additionally, although "mechanically separated meat" may apply to turkey, chicken and pork, due to concerns over BSE, the federal government has held since 2004 that mechanically separated beef "is considered inedible and is prohibited for use as human food."

Say what you want, but I'm not sure anymore. You taste it first, buddy.

Jon Stewart Breaks Rick Sanchez Silence, Responds

Hey, I'm funnier and more telegenic!
It's always jaw-dropping when someone accuses another one of bigotry and THEN he uses one of the oldest libel tricks in the book. Now we now for sure how intolerant minorities can be (Not that there wasn't too many examples to start with). Mr. Sanchez looks like a whiner that couldn't take the heat and stand any of Mr. Stewart's jokes.

On the other side, it would have been a better (and healthier) debate to talk about political bias in the news and entertainment outlets, but it won't happen any soon.

On the brighter side, Mr. Sanchez has got a letter of recommendation for Al Jazeera.
