Government Diigo

I haven't filed my taxes for 2011, so I can't be sure but I think don't think I made that much this year. On the "bright side" I won't have to pay $6 million unless my tax guy screws up pretty badly. As the article points out, this makes Romney part of the top 1%... but paying a lower percentage of taxes than most Americans.

updated 2:16 AM EST, Tue January 24, 2012 Washington (CNN) -- A formal arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday for an Idaho man charged with firing a rifle at the White House in an attempt at assassinating the president. Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez is expected to enter a plea on the 17 charges he faces Tuesday afternoon in federal court in Washington.

That's pretty "low-jack"ed up.

I think that they should need a warrant to be able to track your car with a GPS..

Interesting article, the pressure from website blackouts seemed to have sent a message to many representatives in Congress. Wait and see what the votes look like next week.

With Minecraft just passing 20 million users, this will bring large attention to SOPA. Gamers who would otherwise not care about the bill will now notice that their favorite sandbox game is offline and it will spark interest in the gaming community as a whole.

It doesn't really matter, it's a matter of time before they create another one.

My sister and I play this game all the time! It's gonna be weird shutting it down for a day.

There are plenty of other ways to deal with an unexpected/unwanted pregnancy. Several things in this case just don't add up; did she really think no one would notice that her "baby bump" just went away, and there were no babies? How could she kill not one, but two of her own newborn children? She just carried them around for nine months...and she couldn't think of a better option such as adoption, giving birth at a hospital and then deciding she should drop them off at a safe haven, or if she really didn't want children, she could have had an abortion, though it is pretty much the same as what she did now, she wouldn't have given her children nine months to develop and live...it's a tricky situation.

This is an old case, but brought up in a class discussion yesterday. From what I can find, this was settled out of court. Unbelievably, the cops were cleared of wrongdoing!

This is a very scary and unfortunate situation that this family had to deal with..

Im really not sure if I should believe that the US did this or not. Yes, we do not like Iran for their nuclear programs so I see we would do this, but I also believe that we would not sink so low that we wold kill him in essentially cold blood.

Anyone interested in this should talk to me in class!

WOO HOO!!! I love cookies. I was never a girl scout because most of my friends that were just complained of the drama within the troops. However, there are plenty of other activities you can do to gain the skills mentioned in this article. Just find something you like and stick with it.

i gotcha if you have them tomorrow!

It takes a terrorist to terrorize another terrorist who is already terrified because of the terrible things he's done.

I hope if SOPA passes, these guys hurry up so I can watch YouTube again.   ;-)

fantastic! this is going to be so awsome!

This is probably the smartest reaction to SOPA!
