Thorium can be the next (would have been the first) nuclear power source that DOES NOT produce over thousands of years of toxic waste. It can practically eliminate the risks of meltdown (with a new reactor design). And, we have around 175,000 tons of thorium in the U.S.

This was being explored in the 1950’s, but uranium was chosen instead ~~for its nastier toxic byproducts~~.

We want more electrical energy. Independence. Reduce coal usage?

Here it may be. We just need the will to progress in this direction.

UPDATE: Apparently, I was caught up in the heat of the moment. I should have read a little more. My thanks to the commenter.

Mayo Clinic in Arizona to Stop Treating Some Medicare Patients

Isn’t that a state bordering Mexico? Make of that what you will, but here’s the money quote:

“If you truly know your business costs and you are losing money, it doesn’t make sense to do more of it.”

Best of Luck in 2010.

Here’s a start.

UPDATE: Good Morning. It is now 01/01/10. (Looks like machine language. To those familiar with computer programming, that is.)

UPDATEx1: Individual Gun Ownership At Risk

Yup, Mayor “I Bought My 3rd Term” Bloomberg wants them all gone.

Better read this article, and follow the links within it. This appears to be a blueprint to skirt the 2nd Amendment AND Congress.

Pay attention, folks. Oh, and don’t forget about Interpol.

UPDATEx1: Let’s not forget about an upcoming SCOTUS hearing in March, McDonald vs. Chicago. As Damon Root tells it, the First Amendment isn’t allowed to be experimented on by states – so why should the Second Amendment be any different?

How to save yourself and others. On a plane.

Or not.

Like, this is going to change anything.

Twits in charge. Feel like obeying them now?

UPDATE: “The system worked.” What system there, dipsy-doodle?

UPDATEx2: Flight 253 witness: Before the terrorist got on the plane.

UPDATEx3: Now we hear about how (and who did it) aviation security funds were cut back in July – and where they ended up. I hope Connecticut voters read about this.
