we did it - yes! on prop. 2
Twenty million farm animals will soon be free from the cruelest factory farm abuses -- and they have you to thank.
Yesterday, Californians voted YES! on Prop 2 -- securing the single most important piece of legislation for farm animals in U.S. history. Proposition 2 will mandate a higher standard for the treatment of animals raised for food, a measure that is sure to lead to similar reforms nationwide.
You made this victory happen. Whether you donated to keep our TV ads on the air, spent your nights phone banking for Prop 2, hit the pavement with leaflets, or engaged your friends and family in California -- you helped show millions of California voters what Prop 2 would mean for animals and people.
How animals are treated is so important to all of us -- and even more important to the animals suffering every day in factory farms. Together, we fought for the humane treatment of animals, and we won. We have changed the lives of so many animals, and we have made history.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Fearing

Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III, Truthout: "As I think about President-elect Obama and this historic event, my thoughts go to Mt. Vernon, Virginia, the home of the first president of the United States of America, George Washington. I wonder what it must have been like to live at Mt. Vernon in the 18th century. Not in Mt. Vernon as George or Martha, but at Mt. Vernon as one of their slaves. I don't think about the owner of Mt. Vernon; I think about the owned."

Rachel Cooke, The Guardian UK: "He exposed the My Lai massacre, revealed Nixon's secret bombing of Cambodia and has hounded Bush and Cheney over the abuse of prisoners in Abu Ghraib ... No wonder the Republicans describe Seymour Hersh as 'the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist.' Rachel Cooke meets the most-feared investigative reporter in Washington."

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: "Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have discovered and demonstrated a new method for overcoming two major hurdles facing solar energy. By developing a new antireflective coating that boosts the amount of sunlight captured by solar panels and allows those panels to absorb the entire solar spectrum from nearly any angle, the research team has moved academia and industry closer to realizing high-efficiency, cost-effective solar power."

Emily Douglas, RH Reality Check: "In state after state today, voters rejected the opportunity to put the government squarely between individual Americans and their own private life decisions on issues at the beginning and end of life. In South Dakota and California, voters affirmed the rights of women and teens to make their own health care decisions. In Colorado, voters rejected the notion that fertilized eggs should have individual human rights. In Washington State, voters extended the right to make end-of-life decisions to those struggling with terminal illnesses. In Michigan, a ballot measure to permit funding for embryonic stem cell research was approved by voters."

crappy joke
MEN NEVER LISTEN
In a Chicago Hospital , a gentleman had made several attempts to get into the men ' s restroom, but it had always been occupied.
A nurse noticed his predicament.
Sir, she said ' You may use the ladies room if you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall. '
He did what he needed to, and as he sat there he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch.
Each button was identified by letters: WW , WA , PP20and a red one labeled ATR.Who would know if he touched them? He couldn't resist.. He pushed WW. warm water was sprayed gently upon his bottom.
What a nice feeling, he thought. Men's restrooms don't have nice things like this.
Anticipating greater pleasure, he pushed the WA button. Warm air replaced the warm water, gently drying his underside.
When this stopped, he pushed the PP button. A large powder puff caressed his bottom adding a fragile scent of spring flower to this unbelievable pleasure. The ladies restroom was more than a restroom, it is tender loving pleasure.
When the powder puff completed its pleasure, he couldn't wait to push the ATR button which he knew would be supreme ecstasy.
Next thing he knew he opened his eyes, he was in a hospital bed, and a nurse was staring down at him.
'What happened?' he exclaimed. The last thing I remember was pushing the ATR button.
'The button ATR is an Automatic Tampon Remover. Your penis is under your pillow.'
