'The Daily Show' Video: No Mosques in My Neighborhood
Jon Stewart exposes the stupidity of the anti-Mosque movement in America, including New York. He shows the ignorance of the argument by those opposing building a Mosque on 'hallowed ground.' And how the nation of freedom of religion is trying to deny that right Muslims in America. No one has done a better job than putting this issue in context than TDS...using humor, in the process.

"Health tourists" flocking to south Asia have carried a new class of antibiotic-resistant superbugs to Britain, researchers reported Wednesday, warning that the bacteria could spread worldwide.

You have no one to blame but yourself if you return the incumbents to Congress. The people whom have brought this country near ruin are being given a vote of confidence. This is our chance to bring real 'change' to Washington. Don't blow it. In November, vote out every member of Congress who's been in office 10+ years. 10 and out! Or watch your country become a third world nation:
In an election year dominated by a desire for change in Washington, voters in Colorado and Connecticut on Tuesday nominated a trio of Senate candidates who positioned themselves as political outsiders. But Colorado's results proved there are limits on how much change voters actually want, a telling sign that November's pivotal midterm elections may be even more unpredictable than polls suggest.
