Thousands of protesters all across New York's major cities rallied to demand a voter's referendum on the recent Homosexuality bill that was passed. As in California, the majority of the state's constituents oppose "gay marriage," but the liberal media and courts wield tyrannical apartheid-style power over the majority. Expect marginalization of Evangelicals, Catholics, Conservatives, and those who prefer to live in the forest, by the Regressive media. Expect them to be painted as 'dangerous,' 'fringe,' 'minorities,' 'hateful,' 'bigoted,' 'ignorant,' culturally retarded, etc. If the government allows a referendum, expect it to be declared 'unconstitutional' by a gay or gay-sympathizing judge.

Statistics: The protests were organized by the National Organization for Marriage, and the Manhattan rally was estimated to have 10,000 participants. New York does not allow the people to petition the government. In order to have a referendum, a simple majority in both houses must put the vote to 20 million New Yorkers. (paraphrase). "No state has ever approved gay marriage when the issue was put before voters."

An article by a non-conservative man (as evidenced by his distancing from certain people and beliefs in his post) rebukes the notion that the man responsible for the shooting of c. 80 children of Norway's Labour Party members was in any way motivated by fundamentalist Christian beliefs.

A woman by the name of Olivier Odom attempted to enter Dollywood wearing a t-shirt that said, "marriage is so gay," and was told by park staff to turn it inside out before entering the park. Park staff acted entirely within the boundaries of the park's family-friendly dress code policy. Odom later sent a letter to the park, which was circulated in numerous gay advocacy circles, demanding special treatment, staff sensitivity training, and a public statement from the park. Dollywood officials plan to contact the couple to address the complaint.

Numerous attractions are planned, including a replica of the Tower of Babel, a first-century village, a theater and more, but the main attraction will be the full-scale Noah's Ark, measuring 510 feet in length. The park will benefit from KY's tourism incentive program, which allows attractions to receive a rebate of up to 1/3 of the tax revenue generated from people visiting the park. The project is expected to support thousands of local tourism-related jobs (hotels, restaurants) that will become necessary to deal with the expected 1.6 million visitors in the first year, most of whom will be from out-of-state.

It might not work better than chance, it costs a lot of money, and it inhibits the free exchange of ideas by fostering confirmation bias.

A new type of surface, with indentations that help the adult stem cells proliferate, has been developed and is being considered for mass production. Adult Stem Cells, or ASC or iPS cells (induced Pluripotent Stem cells) are taken from adult hosts and don't require the destruction of fertilized human embryos.

In the Arab American Institute poll done recently, Obama's policies receive a 10% approval rating  (or less) among every Arab country surveyed. Obama is less popular than the Iranian Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Turkey's Erdogan and Nicholas Sarkozy of France. Those polled indicated that the reason for the abysmal ratings (99% of Lebanese believe he has failed to meet expectations) is because he created expectations that he then failed to meet--such as the withdrawal of troops from the Middle East, destroying the state of Israel and making Islam the official religion of the United States. [tongue-in-cheek sarcasm]. Obama's approval rating among Arabs DROPPED as a result of Usama bin Ladin's death.
