50 Cent's Weight Loss DETAILS: How He Did It, How Far He Went

Lots of entertainers lose and gain for roles. When Christian Bale did it for the Machinist, he lost way more than One Cent, and nobody said a word. Then in the six weeks after filming he was bulked up and ripped for the role of the Bat, and nobody said anything. This punk loses some weight and the presses come to a screeching halt. Have any of you seen his video/movie? Attack of the Killer Tomatos was less moronic, repetitive and far more entertaining.

BP Says So Far, Gulf Well Plug Isn't Working

They've done the exact same things they did 30 years ago, with the same failed results. You'd think 3 decades would be enough to think of at least ONE positive step to take! Well... it could have if anyone in the oil industry gave one whit about people or the environment. They worship the almighty dollar, and make more of it than anyone else in history. They wouldn't pay for safety measures, and WE will end up carrying the burden for their criminal acts.

Anti-Government Man Jerry Kane Jr., Teenage Son Reportedly Killed Police In Deadly Shootout

Nevermind the Middle East. Our greatest threats are our neighbors. As long as we keep the "us vs them" philosophy alive it's gonna get worse. Much worse. Those who feed it, in the media, in Congress and other public figures, love the controversy, the feeling of power they have to make folks get in an uproar. They won't quit without our help. Vote them out, boycott shows and products that fund them, educate people, speak out.



But it will also take positive efforts across the board to get folks to tear down walls and shake hands. America can be great again if we, the citizens, don't destroy it through animosity and apathy.

Texas Board Of Education Approves More Conservative Curriculum

Instead of diluting history, we need to learn the truth so it doesn't keep happening. Schools also need to teach problem solving, stress reduction and relationship building skills. We send them out in the world to make a buck but they're completely unprepared to deal with others, life in general and how to have meaningful relationships. And while we're at it, there are plenty of other, more appropriate places to learn about religion if that's what you want. Teach the sciences in school as they are, not through a community lens. Science shouldn't be flavored or tainted by by an agenda for or against anyone's belief system.

Can Brigham Young's Great Great Gay Progressive Granddaughter Oust a Blue Dog and Win a House Seat In Utah?

As a Utah voter, I personally don't care who she has a personal relationship with, what religion she is, or isn't, how she dresses, what she has for dinner or anything else like that. What's her character? Where does she stand politically? What will she do for her constituents? Will she put them before party interests? Will she stand against the lobbies? These are the things I consider before I step behind the curtain to vote.



With all due respect, I'm sure the growing gay community in Salt Lake, which I have family ties to, will be thrilled at the prospect of her in office. And that's fine. But I want to know if she can help to bring about better tolerance and make equal rights the norm rather than something to battle over. Will she be a voice for change, without galvanizing the sides against each other? That's what we need, someone who can reason and negotiate, bring down walls so others are willing to see past them. Make us understand that we're all in this together, and that we owe each other courtesy and respect.



PS, Matheson is nothing like his father. Too bad. He could have used the name for good.

Environmental Groups Hope Oil Spill Will Help Build Momentum For Offshore Drilling Ban

The catch-22 is that while banning drilling would be good for the environment it would increase our dependence on Mideast oil and the whims of the cartel and big oil. We're not in a position yet to do without it. Alternative sources of energy need improving and they're also screaming about coal, nuclear and other sources that do work.



I heard tonight that a $500K valve they could have installed during the Bush years would have averted this whole thing. After Exxon, I can't imagine the feeblemindedness that could cause a company making billions to decide not to spend that kind of petty cash on a simple way to protect the earth and all its life, including us. It's also beyond me why they don't take some of that ill-gotten gain and use it to clean up their mess, stop the leak and give reparations to the families whose lives they've shattered. Immediately!
