Famous People Buy Fake Twitter "Followers" To Make People Think They Are More Popular Than They Really Are
(NY Times) Celebrities, politicians, start-ups, aspiring rock stars, reality show hopefuls — anyone who might benefit from having a larger social media footprint — are known to have bought large blocks of Twitter followers.
If accurate, the number of fake followers out there is surprising. According to the StatusPeople tool, 71 percent of Lady Gaga’s nearly 29 million followers are “fake” or “inactive.” So are 70 percent of President Obama’s nearly 19 million followers.

Mike Wallace Interviews Eugenicist and Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger
September 21, 1957
[22:25]
Wallace: Do you believe in sin?
Sanger: Well I think the greatest sin in the world is bringing children into the world...that have disease from their parents, that have no chance in the world to be a human being practically...delinquents, prisoners, all sorts of things; just marked when they're born. That to me is the greatest sin that people can commit.
p.s. the Philip Morris schtick is even more hilarious the 2nd time

Romney "Wins" Maine By Less Than 200 Votes With Only 84% Reporting, GOP Says Some Votes Don't Count
There are so many examples of voter fraud and election fraud, so many party officials and government employees that have been convicted, that I refuse to bother with sourcing enough to bludgeon doubters with that point here. Look it up yourselves. I've always known, even before I became interested in what goes on in the world, on some level, that voting is generally pointless; "electable" candidates always seem to be the same people and their families over and over and/or in some way pre-selected by other filthy-rich, filthy-powerful, uppity-ass crooks. That's why I've only voted twice, and I only viewed my actions in a something-is-better-than-nothing light, not as something real and effective that would likely make any difference. I felt no sense of accomplishment, only a strange mix of both duty and resignation.

Conan O'Brien Shows How All Corporate Media is Scripted
Corporate press-release institutions (ABCNNBCBS, and FAUX) are not composed of journalists and don't deal in reporting honest news. They are SCRIPT-READERS. That is, they are if they want to keep their jobs.

Media Silence Is Deafening About Important Gun News
Murder and violent crime rates were supposed to soar after the Supreme Court struck down gun control laws in Chicago and Washington, D.C.
But Armageddon never happened. Newly released data for Chicago shows that, as in Washington, murder and gun crime rates didn't rise after the bans were eliminated -- they plummeted. They have fallen much more than the national crime rate.
