   Government subpoenas hate speech documents 1 2

   In Houston, some pastors had the nerve to disagree with a city ordinance that allows men to use women's restrooms and vise-versa. So now, those venomous, hate-mongering pastors have to turn over any sermons that mention homosexuality, gender identity, and/or the mayor of Houston. Serves them right for exercising their religious freedoms! http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/City-subpoenas-sermons-in-ERO-court-case-5822800.php

   The Bear Market has begun

   I don't think there is much to keep the market propped up with the Fed ending QE. Reality is starting to set in that this market has been held up by over a trillion dollars of easy money. Brace for some rough months ahead on your 401k's. Now with the price of oil dropping, earnings dropping on several companies, the dollar getting stronger, Europe and Asia looking pretty weak, there is just not much for the market to be optimistic on. My guess is there is probably a S&P 500 in the 1700's in our future. I rode the 2008 crash to the bottom, I don't feel like doing it again. I am not a bear, and I generally believe in riding the ups and downs of the market, but I don…

   we have a race for governor going on in prep for the vote in november, now less than a month away. to date, i have yet to see a billboard, bumper sticker, poster, sign, or tv ad for either candidate. i have no idea how to spell the last name of the R candidate, and jerry brown seems to be on auto drive heading into the stretch. what in the world kind of strategy is this? how are you supposed to win if you don't get your name and beliefs out there against an incumbent? this is a bizarre strategy.

   http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_examiner/2014/10/missionary_doctors_treating_ebola_in_africa_why_people_are_suspicious_of.html Thought this was a fair article written by an atheist. I understand the discomfort he has. Knowing a decent amount about at least two clinics in Africa I also know that the care and quality is extremely important to the staff.

The Vice President of Plugs is in town to grab some cash today and part of tomorrow. However, it doesn't look like his visit will have too much of an effect on traffic. He's chosen off-peak travel times and roads that are rarely used... From KTLA: Motorists have been advised to avoid the following areas at the aforementioned times. Monday: Near the 405 Freeway and Santa Monica Boulevard from 3 to 6 p.m. Near Santa Monica Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard from 3 to 8 p.m. Near Sunset Boulevard between North B…

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/102036778 "Earlier this year, a top official at the Environmental Protection Agency was busted for watching porn—lots of porn—on his government-issued computer during work. Federal investigators found out that the employee had downloaded at least 7,000 files of pornography and logged between two and six hours of porn watching a day since 2010. Although this incident was the subject of a heated congressional hearing—the official received little more than a slap on the wrist." depending on which wrist, that might be a harsh punishment.
