"We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us," long-time Indian rights activist Russell Means told a handful of reporters and a delegation from the Bolivian embassy, gathered in a church in a run-down neighborhood of Washington for a news conference. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Descendants_of_Sitting_Bull_Crazy_Horse_1220.html

You can get a free dinner with as many calories as 10 Big Macs at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, if you can eat a 72-ounce sirloin steak, a baked potato, a salad, a dinner roll, and a shrimp cocktail in 60 minutes or less. And if you're craving 10 pounds of junk food on a single plate, just go to Eagle's Deli in Boston, Massachusetts, where the 10-storey Challenge Burger rises so high you practically need a ladder to eat it.

Fast food makes such a savory scapegoat for our perpetual girth control failures that it's easy to forget we eat less than 20 percent of our meals at the Golden Arches and its ilk. It's also easy to forget that before America fell in love with cheap, convenient, standardized junk food, it loved cheap, convenient, independently deep-fried junk food.  http://reason.com/news/show/123473.html

Al Gore has come under fire for making personal gain from his mission to save the planet – after charging £3,300 a minute to deliver a poorly received speech.

The former American Vice-President was also accused of being "precious" at the London event, demanding his own VIP room and ejecting journalists, despite hopes the star-studded gathering would generate publicity for the fight against global warming.

Many of the audience at last month's Fortune Forum summit were restless as Mr Gore, who has won both a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for his campaigning work this year, delivered the half-hour speech that netted him £100,000.

I know a girl who broke up with a guy and she told him she wanted to "still be friends."  He said, "No thanks."  She wondered why he couldn't fall back to being just friends after they had a romantic relationship.  I came up with the "McDonalds Analogy" to try and explain it in a simple way that would help all women understand this tough question.  http://b937online.com/Tom-Answers-the-Tough-Questions---The-McDonalds-An/1266458

Perhaps it's a vestige of our rough-edged frontier past, or maybe it's a legacy of the temperance movement of the early 20th century. Whatever the origin, it's been accepted for decades in the United States that bars, pubs, taverns, saloons, and lounges are not the sorts of places one goes with a kid. It's different in Europe. Some English pubs in summer are full of families. In Central Europe, tots take ceramic pitchers to the local beer hall to fetch dad's draft. In this country, the demand for kid-friendly pubs is still far greater than the supply, but Oakland has a couple of places where junior won't draw dirty looks from childless hipsters or run afoul of an angry drunk on his sixth Jack and Coke. http://beerblog.genx40.com/archives/2007/july/kidsandthepub

The Pinball Hall of Fame is an attempt by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club to house and display the world's largest pinball collection, open to the public. A not-for-profit corporation was established to further this cause. The games belong to one club member (Tim Arnold), and range from 1950s up to 1990s pinball machines. Since it is a non-profit museum, older games from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are the prevelant, as this was the 'heyday' of pinball. http://www.pinballmuseum.org/

For several decades feminists had an unusual alliance which has been forgotten to now. The Ku Klux Klan backed prohibition, allowed a woman to be a Grand Dragon, came up with the slogan "The hand that rocks the cradle rocks the world", backed the vote for women, had early feminists speak at their rallies like the head of Planned Parenthood. But that's not all. When women weren't allowed to have their own bank accounts, own property, own their own business- Klan women could! An amazing story of a forgotten part of feminist history

Margaret Sanger founded PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, in a letter to Clarence Gamble in 1939 wrote,

"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through religions appeal. We don't want the word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."

Julian Bell has written a tremendous history of world art, one that will inevitably be compared with Gombrich’s The Story of Art, published nearly sixty years ago. Since then image-making technologies that seemed mature have changed and expanded their reach. In 1950 we lived in an image flood. We are now, as Bell puts it, in an image jam. http://www.lrb.co.uk/v29/n23/camp01_.html

An anti-Semitic church formed by white supremacists has abandoned its neo-Nazi imagery, such as swastikas, to make its message more palatable, a change that a leading Jewish group called an attempt to "sanitize hatred."

The group banned the use of Nazi uniforms, red arm bands and similar regalia because they were an instant turnoff to people who might otherwise be open to the church's teachings, including the belief that white Anglo-Saxons _ not Jews _ are God's chosen people in the Bible. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/29/AR2007112901349.html
