| Homelessness is real deal
In May 2006, O'Reilly completely botched the history of one of the most notorious massacres of American soldiers in World War II when he stated, "In Malmedy, as you know, U.S. forces captured SS forces who had their hands in the air and they were unarmed and they shot them down." The reverse was true — 84 unarmed American prisoners were slaughtered with machine gun fire at Malmedy by SS troops during the Battle of the Bulge. O'Reilly never corrected the error or apologized for it. In November 2007, O'Reilly attacked the United Service Organization for not sending more celebrities to entertain American troops in Afghanistan. O'Reilly said, "As far as I know, the only famous people in the past year were Toby Keith and me." The USO responded with something O'Reilly is often unable to handle — the truth.
All Pets With Cancer in U.S. Provided Free Consultation
BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- When Jack Stephens, DVM, founder and president of Pets Best Insurance, was diagnosed with throat cancer, he received emotional support from his small dog, Spanky.

Gas-burning C300 a real barnburner
One thing before reading on: Please put down the voodoo dolls and stickpins.
The vehicle tested this week gets less than 30 m.p.g. highway, has no batteries hidden under the rear seat and will cost less than $20,000 only when as used in 10 years.
It's the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300, an entry-level sedan to invite people into the luxury segment who Mercedes hopes will stay when they can afford something at $50,000 or more.

The gloves are off for Adam Gilchrist
Never mind that he kept wicket, the only batsman in the fully professional era capable of the same consistent menace was Sanath Jayasuriya, but he played with more orthodoxy and sobriety in five-day games, whereas Gilchrist was the same in every arena. To maintain a Test average of almost 48 while scoring at nearly 82 runs per 100 balls was astonishing. Others with reputations for scoring fast — Flintoff and Shahid Afridi — were unable to maintain the carnage for anything like the time. His great Test innings include many when there was a mini- crisis to be managed. There was his 152 at Edgbaston in 2001, which tore the match from English hands, and another hundred at Perth in 2006, the fastest in Ashes history, which put the game beyond England’s reach while shattering Monty Panesar with 24 runs in an over.
Search Politics for MPs and issues
The porch is a tangle of mud-spattered Hunter wellies (the perfect marriage of fashion and posh, those) and coats that are not quite Barbours, but hint at that sort of thing, and scarves and single gloves and the general accumulated detritus produced by three kids under the age of five. There's discarded Smythson packaging everywhere. In the marginally less dishevelled kitchen of the converted barn, Samantha Cameron wears excellent pyjamas, and butters toast and entertains her children by bending balloons into animal shapes, (something she does well, even though she insists this is her first time). She is surely the dictionary definition of 'glossy'. Or 'fragrant and swishy'. Or maybe 'Glamorous But In A Thoroughly Sensible Way, Like A Less Slutty Nigella Lawson'. 'Oops!' says Cameron, closing the front door behind us, and swooping up the three empty wine bottles that are languishing on a kitchen surface.

Energy farms are increasingly dotting Kansas' landscape
LINCOLN — Ironworker Ernest Small secured the last of 270 wrist-sized bolts steadying the three blades of a modern-day sentinel of the plains. Operators of an enormous crane had already created a turbine tower at the Smoky Hills Wind Farm by stacking four hollow steel tubes, each smaller than the latter, onto a 50-foot square concrete foundation tucked underground. The crane operator then placed the nacelle — a fancy name for the Greyhound bus-sized unit containing a gear box, low- and high-speed shaft, generator, controller and brake — atop the tower 250 feet above a beautiful slice of prairie landscape. .
