There's a destructive cycle that's starting right now in America. It's such a huge issue with very few prospects for correction that few (if any) are willing to talk about it in Washington. Most are well aware, but it's kept relatively-hidden as a whole even though many components of the problem are discussed regularly.

According to charging papers, the sitter, Mabinty Williams, 33, called her husband 16 times, asking him how she should care for the infant.

In truth, I think the act of misleading, distorting and deceiving is pretty much standard fare for elections. Such behaviors must be lucrative though, considering how much money the candidates have raised, at least in part to purchase ads and attend events.
Disgust is one of our most basic emotions—the only one that we have to learn—and nothing triggers it more reliably than the strange food of others.

Time to check "dominate the world with a cat army". Minecraft now has kitties! Well, technically they're ocelots, but watch the trailer after the break and try to tell me you don't want to attach grammatically incorrect witticisms to those things right this very second.

"The Northern Spanish provinces of Asturias and Cantabria offer the rare combination of spectacular mountains and fine beaches in proximity," says Fred Mawer. "We decided to split our trip into two, starting with a week exploring the Picos de Europa."
Anyone who has seen Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist knows that the movie's real highlight is Uggie the Dog, who plays the canine best friend of star Jean Dujardin. In the movie he is so well-trained and does so many great stunts that it make you want to spit on the first dog you see walking out of the theater.
