House votes yes on Net-gambling crackdown
I can’t see this as boosting the GOP, I am sure that there a lot of voters that do support Internet Gambling (fools and their money…)
Step aside, War on Terror — now it’s war on Internet gambling update The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to restrict Internet gambling, a move Republicans hope will boost their popularity before the November election.

Social Isolation Growing in U.S., Study Says
Americans are far more socially isolated today than they were two decades ago, and a sharply growing number of people say they have no one in whom they can confide, according to a comprehensive new evaluation of the decline of social ties in the United States.
A quarter of Americans say they have no one with whom they can discuss personal troubles, more than double the number who were similarly isolated in 1985. Overall, the number of people Americans have in their closest circle of confidants has dropped from around three to about two.

A Poisonous Move for Kids by CDC
On February 22, CDC announced that it is dramatically expanding America’s flu vaccination program to include all children between six months and 5 years and their siblings and caretakers. But, guess what CDC forgot to mention? There is not nearly enough thimerosal-free flu vaccine to go around. Vaccine makers produced fewer than 8 million thimerosal-free flu doses this season, which doesn’t bode well for the more than 17 million children designated to receive flu shots under CDC’s new protocol.
Thimerosal is the mercury-based preservative that has been linked to the epidemic of neurological disorders including speech delays, language delays, hyperactivity, attention-deficit disorder, and autism in American children born after 1989.
