Author: Science and faith aren't mutually exclusive

New book 'The Adam Quest' features scientists - who are also Christians - talking about evolution, creation and more.

Our Notes:
It should not matter what one's faith is in regards to the study of science as long as that faith is not trying to direct the science.  Although there are valid arguments for that as well.  Why lock out brilliant minds from discovering unless you fear what they may discover.

ABC News reports the new terror threat, the shoe bomb.

Our Notes:  What about the shoe phone?  Why are they worried about shoe bombs when they should be worried about fingernail bombs.  Those fake fingernails could just contain enough plastic explosives to rip out the side of any plane.  What about explosive hair gels that people may start wearing?  Is anyone checking women with breast implants to make sure that those are real implants and not something that can be taken out and used as a bomb?  Nitro filled boobs?  Maybe everyone should be hospitalized for 24 hours in case they have ingested something that they may be able to get out at a later time that just could prove to be a bomb.

  Wait, why not just discontinue all air travel and declare it all illegal?  In today's society, we can just get online and look at everything.  At what point do we say this is all getting out of hand?  Just a question.

Ted Nugent blasted CNN and Wolf Blitzer on Twitter after Blitzer criticized him for calling Obama a "subhuman mongrel."

This is just too funny on so many levels.  CNN does not think this guy has a right to have a voice and tells you what you need to think.  Ted Nugent goes over the edge on his criticism of Obama.  Everyone is pointing the finger at everyone else.  No one looks at the facts?  This is news?  Nah, this is just funny stuff pretending to be news.  But hey, Bill Nye is now the new Science news spokesman.  An old washed up kiddie show celeb right?  Ugh!

You'll Cringe, Then You'll Get Angry ?| Pussy Riot Viciously Beaten?

Members of the all-women Russian protest group Pussy Riot said they were beaten with whips on Wednesday by Cossacks who are helping patrol Sochi during the Winter Olympics.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, who served prison sentences over a protest in a church against President Vladimir Putin, said they were attacked in Sochi as five band members tried to perform a song.

"Under the banner Sochi 2014, to the sound of 'Putin will teach us to love the homeland', Cossacks attacked Pussy Riot, beat us with whips and sprayed a lot of pepper gas at us," Tolokonnikova wrote on Twitter.

Video purportedly of the incident posted on a Russian television website showed Pussy Riot members pulling trademark, brightly coloured ski masks over their faces and performing a song in front of a wall decorated with the Sochi Games design."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

Our Notes:  You may want to look at this video again.  It looks like it is staged.  The girls are getting hit with rubber whips.  The video has a number of cuts to create a certain feel.  Did the Russian police actually give the group a chance to disband but they refused after numerous attempts?  Didn't actually see anyone hurt other than pride.  Anyone care to show me what country this does not happen in?  Plenty of video showing it happens all over the US all the time.  

  Just not buying the spin on this.
