Stillion has written of the F-35A's air-to-air combat performance that it

almost as much thrust as weight and a flight control system that allows it
to be fully maneuverable even at a 50-degree angle of attack. Chen Hu,
editor-in-chief of World Military Affairs magazine has said that the F-35
is too costly because it attempts to provide the capabilities needed for
all three American services in a common airframe. Dutch news program NOVA
show interviewed US defense specialist Winslow T. Wheeler and aircraft
designer Pierre Sprey who called the F-35 "heavy and sluggish" as well as
having a "pitifully small load for all that money", and went on to
criticize the value for money of the stealth measures as well as lacking
fire safety measures. His final conclusion was that any air force would be
better off maintaining its fleets of F-16s and F/A-18s compared to buying
into the F-35 program. Lockheed spokesman John Kent has said that the

Stanton and Susan B. Anthony drafted an amendment to the US Constitution
that would make it illegal to bar citizens from voting based on gender. It
took 42 years for their amendment to be ratified by Congress, but nearly
100 years after that historic decision, it seems the modern GOP hasn't yet
gotten over that vote-you're supposed to believe there is no "War on
Women." Don't buy it. These right-wingers despise and disdain women with an
energy not seen since the end of World War I, and all you have to do is
look at their remarkable record of legislative actions over these past few
months to see the truth of it-some 10 percent of voting-age Americans do
not have the proper ID - with current name and current address - to vote in
the states where the GOP and their friends in ALEC have been pushing
restrictive voter ID laws, In other words, tough luck if you're a woman who

criticized. “I‘m sure we’ll have a great conversation … bottom line is,
I’ve never threatened anybody’s life in my life. I’ve never threatened. I

Stillion has written of the F-35A's air-to-air combat performance that it
“can’t turn, can’t climb, can’t run”, but Lockheed Martin test pilot Jon
Beesley has countered that in an air-to-air configuration the F-35 has
almost as much thrust as weight and a flight control system that allows it
to be fully maneuverable even at a 50-degree angle of attack. Chen Hu,
editor-in-chief of World Military Affairs magazine has said that the F-35
is too costly because it attempts to provide the capabilities needed for
all three American services in a common airframe. Dutch news program NOVA
show interviewed US defense specialist Winslow T. Wheeler and aircraft
designer Pierre Sprey who called the F-35 "heavy and sluggish" as well as
having a "pitifully small load for all that money", and went on to
criticize the value for money of the stealth measures as well as lacking
fire safety measures. His final conclusion was that any air force would be
better off maintaining its fleets of F-16s and F/A-18s compared to buying
into the F-35 program. Lockheed spokesman John Kent has said that the
missing fire-suppression systems would have offered "very small"
improvements to survivability/Germany opposes plans from Spain and some

Democratic-authored effort to impose a minimum tax on millionaires - is

speculation-Tax Day Doesn't Belong to the Tea Party Anymore. This year, the
IRS due date bears witness to the impact of the Occupy movement in American
politics-Mitt Romney told a crowd at a private fundraiser last night that
he might eliminate the Department of Housing and Urban Development, scale
back the Department of Education, and eliminate some specific tax
provisions-ows thought - of the law. Specifically, a 2000 court decision,
Metropolitan Council Inc. v. City of New York, that ruled that sleeping on
City sidewalks was a Constitutionally-protected form of protest-Washington
is lost in a snarl of confusion, cowardice and wrongheaded ideological
assumptions that threaten to keep the economy in a ditch for a long time.
That prospect is not much discussed in the halls of Congress or the White
House. It's as though the crisis has been put on hold until after the
presidential election-Taking Uncle Sam for a Ride: How Pakistan Makes
Washington Pay for the Afghan War "Given such strong cards, diplomatic and
legal, why then did the Obama administration commit itself to releasing

answer lies in what happened at two Pakistani border posts 1.5 miles from

Work? Tell That to Women on Welfare "For all the shameful sucking up to
multimillionaire mom Ann Romney after Democratic pundit Hilary Rosen

neither Republicans nor Democrats treat most parenting as work, and
thousands of poor women are living in poverty today as living proof of that
fact-the Rich Call the Shots, The New Republic: at least so far, the most

they are campus-based ... or not, please take some time to catch up. Your
career, indeed, your very future, may depend on it-1878, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony drafted an amendment to the US Constitution
that would make it illegal to bar citizens from voting based on gender. It
took 42 years for their amendment to be ratified by Congress, but nearly
100 years after that historic decision, it seems the modern GOP hasn't yet
gotten over that vote-you're supposed to believe there is no "War on
Women." Don't buy it. These right-wingers despise and disdain women with an
energy not seen since the end of World War I, and all you have to do is
look at their remarkable record of legislative actions over these past few
months to see the truth of it-some 10 percent of voting-age Americans do
not have the proper ID - with current name and current address - to vote in
the states where the GOP and their friends in ALEC have been pushing
restrictive voter ID laws, In other words, tough luck if you're a woman who
just got married, just got divorced, or are running for your life from an
abusive relationship-Since gaining control of the House in 2010, the
hard-right boys' club that is the GOP in that chamber has vomited up no
less than 916 anti-woman pieces of legislation. Contraception is bad.
Choice is bad. Being an unwed mother is bad. Sex education is bad. women
are bad, not to be trusted, and are to be treated as chattel in all cases.-
financial technocrats have taken over the European ship. Democracy has gone
out the window, all in the name of keeping the central bank independent
from the 'abuses' of government. Yet, the government is the people. or it
should be. A democratically elected government represents the people.
Europeans are being hoodwinked into relinquishing their cherished democracy
to a rogue band of financial pirates, and the rest of the world is not far
behind-ALEC Public Safety & Elections Task Force (known as the Criminal
Justice Task Force until 2009) have approved model bills that promote
for-profit prisons and lengthen prison sentences, criminalize immigrants,
expand the 'war on drugs,' thwart evidence-based pre-trial release programs

disagrees with the notion that it's wrong to inflict unnecessary suffering
on an animal. We need a good reason to inflict suffering on an animal. This
is part of our conventional moral wisdom. The problem is that eating
animals is, as a matter of moral analysis, no different from dog
fighting/Bernard Rapoport. A 'capitalist with a conscience' with an
authentic connection to the struggles and values of everyday Americans,
Rapoport died this month at 94.... A friend and long-time supporter of Bill

of the final rule, That's why the National Association of Broadcasters has
been paying visits to key FCC officials this month. A group of influential
Republican senators has also told the FCC they oppose the proposed rule-
far-right national and state lawmakers, in coordination with Religious
