bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney

(APN) ATLANTA — US Reps. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) became the sixth and seventh total cosponsors of US Rep. Dennis Kucinich's (D-OH) bill to impeach Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney, Atlanta Progressive News has learned. In addition to Kucinich, the additional four Members of Congress who have signed on to H. Res 333 are US Reps. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Janice Schakowsky (D-IL), William Lacy Clay (D-MO), and Albert Wynn (D-MD).

37,000 Nailgun Casualties

about 37,000 nailgun injuries a year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [ 1 ]. nailgun injuries have risen about 200 percent since 1991, the CDC said. the CDC looked at who was getting injured, it became clear that the number of work-related nailgun injuries had stayed stable since 1998. it was consumer-related injuries that had soared. the popularity of DIY home improvement is causing America more casualties per year than 4 years in Iraq (24,314 wounded in action, [ 2 ]). one thing is for certain- just because you can buy it does not mean you know how to use it.

Did Apple rip off Longhorn??

Check out these Vista concept shots. Just look at the packaging pictured above. Would you ever see that lining the shelves at Best Buy? No. And that's what makes seeing this stuff so enjoyable. Sure, the folder concept is completely space inefficient. And what we can only assume is a pure diamond block case would probably be expensive even for mass production. But my guess is that most consumers would be more likely to impulse buy an OS if it looked like something out of an 80s future movie. << >>
