Momentum, home-field advantage, superior offensive firepower.

The Twins appear to have all these advantages heading into tonight’s tiebreaker against Detroit, not to mention a major off-field distraction for the Tigers involving MVP candidate Miguel Cabrera.

Title: How the Supreme Court Destroyed Property Rights and a Little Pink House

Author: Sarah McIntosh

Three years ago the United States Supreme Court made a decision that not only threatened the very core of Americans’ property rights, but also destroyed the dreams of a woman who just wanted to live in her beautiful pink house.

Perhaps you have already heard the story. If not, I will warn you it is a sad one. Ms. Suzette Kelo moved to New London Connecticut in 1997 after a divorce. She found an old cottage from 1893 that was in dismal shape, but she saw the promise in it. Even the front door was overgrown when she first laid eyes on it. But she purchased the cottage and started fixing it up right away.

She had a lot of work to do from the foundation to the roof. She devoted time, energy, and money to transforming the ramshackled cottage into a beautiful home. Ms. Kelo worked as a nurse and held other jobs on the side in order to make ends meet. (more…)

(CNSNews.com) – The Employee Free Choice Act may not be the slam dunk for Big Labor that labor union activists want the public to believe.

Known as “card check,” the bill is the centerpiece of Big Labor’s agenda for the Obama administration.

But on Friday, with top union leaders gathered at the White House for the president to sign three executive orders that apply to labor unions – including an order barring federal funds from being used to discourage a union — no mention of the card check bill was made.

Google screwed up massively this morning, identifying every page on the Internet as one that could “harm your computer.” Most users would click on a link, and instead of the page requested, received a big warning message. This went on for entire hour.

The company said that the problem was caused by “human error.”

Because the error essentially shut down Google for everyone in the entire world, the company fixed it immediately.

But what if Google made another error, and decided YOU were malware? What if the company, for whatever reason, came to the conclusion that you were a spammer, or a criminal, or somehow abused their rules? What if they simply invalidated your password to prevent you from using their many services?
