I BELIEVE YOU MEAN RACIST BIG MEDIA: Big Media is hot to wreck Ted Cruz. “Attacking the aggressive Ted Cruz when Liz Warren simultaneously hits the Senate in full aggression mode.”

A double standard between a white woman and a Latino man. The overwhelmingly white Big Media has a double standard.

WHY SO MANY RUSSIANS HAVE DASH CAMS.

WHEN PRESCRIPTION DRUGS FILTER INTO THE FISH: “In a paper published Thursday in Science, a team of Swedish researchers tried to provide at least part of an answer. They first tested various Swedish bodies of water for the levels of an anti-anxiety drug called oxazepam—like many drugs, oxazepam doesn’t get filtered out by sewage treatment plants. In a lab, the researchers then placed wild European perch in tanks with comparable drug levels. The researchers found that the drugs were, indeed, having an effect: Even at dosages at the lower end of what they found in the wild, the fish in the oxazepam tanks were less social than those in the control tanks. The drugged fish put more distance between themselves and other fish, and they ate faster than normal. At higher dosages, the researchers also found an increase in what they termed ‘boldness,’ the lack of hesitation with which the fish entered an unfamiliar area.”

What about hormones from birth-control pills?

LITIGATION: Chubby Checker sues HP over penis size app. “Chubby Checker, the musician best known for his 1960 hit recording of “The Twist,” is suing HP over a novelty app for Palm OS of the same name that claims to check the size of your ‘chubby.’ The sum sought is a mind-boggling half a billion dollars.”

I think this is a publicity stunt intended to remind people that Palm OS still exists.
