Fukushima not calming down http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/2011/11/02/fukushima-not-calming-down/ http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/2011/11/02/fukushima-not-calming-down/#comments Wed, 02 Nov 2011 21:33:03 +0000 kmcd http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/?p=63 Apparently, there are reported indications that fission is not slowing down as rapidly as hoped at Fukushima 2 reactor, in fact, it seems to have increased in activity, leading to its operator stating the plan to start dismantling it will likely need to be postponed.

the filthy rich in America http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/2011/03/08/the-filthy-rich-in-america/ http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/2011/03/08/the-filthy-rich-in-america/#comments Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:31:09 +0000 kmcd http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/?p=53 the fact that the 400 Americans with the highest wealth are more wealthy than half of the US population combined makes be sick to my stomach.  And the media/politicians somehow think they get taxed too much!?!?!

EGAD!

Remembering Howard Zinn http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/2011/01/28/remembering-howard-zinn/ http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/2011/01/28/remembering-howard-zinn/#comments Fri, 28 Jan 2011 19:49:29 +0000 kmcd http://kelleymcdonald.net/blog/2011/01/28/remembering-howard-zinn/ Not certain if Howard Zinn originally professed the statement “Governments lie”, but he certainly deserves much credit for it. Maybe the extension I feel needs to be added to it is “All”, as in All governments lie, but it was probably implied by Zinn.
