The proposed ban would affect virtually the entire menu of popular sugary drinks found in delis, fast-food franchises and even sports arenas, from energy drinks to pre-sweetened iced teas. The sale of any cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces — about the size of a medium coffee, and smaller than a common soda bottle — would be prohibited under the first-in-the-nation plan, which could take effect as soon as next March.They even made this handy chart...
Mexican drug cartels are not strictly drug cartels. One of their fastest-growing markets is extortion of private citizens and businesses. Don’t pay, and you can be threatened — or worse. But largely, the cartels target small businesses and individuals, and stay away from the larger industries. Now several arson attacks over the weekend against a Mexican snack chip subsidiary might be the first time the cartels have targeted a multinational corporation.
That corporation would be PepsiCo. According to press reports, masked men attacked five warehouses and vehicle lots on Friday and Saturday nights belonging to the U.S. snack and soft drink giant. More specifically, PepsiCo’s Mexican subsidiary: Sabritas. Dozens of yellow delivery trucks — which transport Sabritas chips and Fritos, Cheetos and Ruffles (among other brands) for the Mexican market — were burned. The good news: No one was injured or killed. At least one member of the Knights Templar cartel was reportedly arrested. Video has also emerged of firefighters battling the blazing trucks and the European Pressphoto Agency released images of Sabritas’ smiley-face mascot illuminated by the flames.
The X-Men, one of the world’s most popular super hero teams, have always been at the forefront of the biggest stories in comic history, and today is no different as Marvel is proud to announce the wedding that has everyone talking!

President Obama has a long track record of insulting the Poles. In 2010 he chose to play golf on the day of the funeral of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski, the Polish First Lady, and 94 senior officials who perished in the Smolensk air disaster. Eight months earlier he humiliated Warsaw by pulling out of the agreement over Third Site missile defence installations in Poland and the Czech Republic. And last night Barack Obama caused huge offence in Poland by referring to a Nazi death camp in Poland as “a Polish death camp” while awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a Polish resistance fighter.
Saudi Arabians are angry at a McDonald's toy which they say mocks their prophet Muhammad. According to a report appearing today (5/27/12) on the Arabic news website, Kermalkom.com, the McDonald's fast food restaurant "abused the Prophet Muhammad by placing his name at the base of a toy that is being distributed as part of the Happy Meal, a toy which steps on the name 'Muhammad.'"
The toy consists of a blue superhero figurine (apparently a Power Ranger Samurai; click here for pictures). It stands on one leg, and, when the lever is pressed, it pounds on the base with the other leg. According to the Saudis, the designs that appear all around the base, where the figurine stomps its foot, is really the name "Muhammad" written several times in circles.
Mike Brown, owner of Capitol Dawg in Sacramento, California is set to make history by developing a unique Hot Dog that will be officially certified as the most expensive in the world by Guinness World Records.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator will be at the event to verify the record and issue a GWR certificate. The current official record of the world's most expensive hot dog is $100.00, held by a Canadian hot dog stand. "I want to bring the record back to the USA, where is belongs!" stated an emphatic Mr. Brown.
The hot dog Mr. Brown is creating features a custom made Chicago all beef frank with unique toppings from around the world, including moose cheese from Sweden that is one of the world's most expensive cheeses. Mr. Brown himself, made the trip to Sweden to purchase it.
Mr. Brown said the price of his 18-inch hot dog will be closer to $150.00, and that he will be donating 1/3 of the purchase price to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Northern California.
Well, no damn wonder we're going to be out-numbered in a few years. With fools like this running loose we are definitely fighting a losing battle.

For you gentlemen who lock up when you have to pee next to another guy, the federal government has your back.
It could cost U.S. employers between $2 billion and $4 billion to comply with an obscure Americans with Disabilities Act regulation meant to protect workers who are gun-shy in public restrooms.
According to an informal discussion letter the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued in August 2011, “paruresis” — more commonly known as “shy bladder syndrome” — qualifies as a disability under the amended Americans with Disabilities Act.

This is the official description of the Head Start program from the Office of Head Start:
Head Start is a federal program that promotes the school readiness of children ages birth to 5 from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social and emotional development.
Authorities are searching for a man accused of stabbing a relative during an altercation that started at the PACE Head Start graduation at the University of Southern Mississippi.
Head Start Director Peggy Ainsworth told the Hattiesburg American that she was not aware of the incident at the time it occurred.
Southern Miss Police Chief Bob Hopkins said authorities have identified the suspect and will release his name when a warrant is obtained for his arrest.
Hopkins said a fight between the suspect and the relative started about 11 a.m. Tuesday inside Reed Green Coliseum. Police broke up the fight, but it resumed outside the building. The suspect then allegedly cut the other man in the face with a knife.
You are pathetic.
Not only are you pathetic, you are a doody-head!
On his MSNBC program today Al Sharpton played a video his network put together that used child actors to knock Mitt Romney. Using scripted remarks
“I got to thinking how these GOP candidates really act like a bunch of little kids that just can’t play nice together. In fact, today, we enlisted some of New York’s finest young actors to give us a dramatic reading on how this endorsement process has gone,” Sharpton said, explaining how the segment was thought up.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told reporters Tuesday that terrorists keep trying to come up with “more and more perverse and terrible ways to kill innocent people” after a plot by al-Qaida's affiliate in Yemen to bomb a U.S.-bound airliner was foiled by the CIA.

Trust your government? Yeah right! Not on your life, Bucko!
In a brazen criminal scheme to defraud taxpayers, one of the highest-ranking officials in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to helping embezzle more than $500,000 from the federal government.
Over three years, James Woosley and at least five other ICE employees scammed the agency by fabricating expenses for trips that were never taken and for hotel, rental car and restaurant expenses that did not exist, according to court records.

C'mon man, you've got five minutes to waste. It's not like you are working today and it's a helluva lot safer than smashing windows of restaurants to protest the banking industry or some such nonsense.
Besides the celebration of the underworked and overpaid on this first day of May, other important events have happened, for example, in the year 1006 the Chinese and Egyptians observed a supernova in the constellation Lupus.

Are these those right wing Christian extremists that the Department of Homeland Security and Mr. Napolitano have been warning us about?
