Repeal : At Grist, we've been hesitant to touch the mass die-off of animals story for fear of leading readers astray: It turns out that, hey, this sort of thing happens all the time. (Remember Cancer clusters?) That was until we came across the most eminently reasonable explanation for the carnage -- and a few other, weather-related Natural Disasters, as well -- yet offered.
It turns out that these animals are dying because we successfully repealed Don ' t Ask Don ' t Tell .
Or so says Cindy Jacobs, a se...
Jacobs: Birds Are Dying Because of DADT Repeal
According to biblical principles, marriage is between a man and a woman , so we have to say “what happens when a nation makes a decision that’s against God’s principles?” Well, often what happens is that nature itself will begin to talk to us – for instance, violent storms, Flooding. And you know there are actually some patterns that you can see where a nation will make a decision that is contrary to the principles of God and after that there is some kind of answer ...
For The Birds
The truth revealed: Cindy Jacobs of Generals International explains how the Repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell is what killed all those birds and fish in Arkansas last week.

Birds 'died from binge drinking'
Birds that were thought to have died from Avian Flu in Romania instead apparently drank themselves to death. Residents of Constanta in eastern Romania found dozens of dead starlings on the outskirts of the city on Saturday. They alerted authorities, fearing the birds had died from avian flu. But local veterinary officials decided the starlings had died after eating grape 'marc' - the leftovers from the wine-making process. The head of the local sanitary and veterinary authority, Dvsv...
What the health reform repeal effort says about the 112th Congress
Members of the House of Representatives will vote next week on a bill to Repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, the health reform law that aims to cover the Uninsured through state Health Insurance exchanges, an individual coverage mandate, and an expansion of the Medicaid program, among other provisions. While the measure will probably pass the House, it is unlikely to be approved by the Democrat-controlled Senate, and even if it were to pass both chambers, the President has threatened t...

Floods enter Brisbane, 20,000 homes in danger
BRISBANE, Australia -- Deadly floodwaters that have cut a swath across northeastern Australia flowed onto the streets of the nation's third-largest city Wednesday, forcing people to flee suburbs and Skyscrapers as rescuers elsewhere searched for 67 people still missing. Almost 20,000 homes in Brisbane were expected to be swamped in the city of about 2 million by the time the Brisbane River reaches its expected peak Thursday, Mayor Campbell Newman said. The figures were constantly being revised ...

Logical Next Step
Sandeen was the only Transgender person among the six Veterans arrested in April while protesting the Military’s ban on Openly Gay Troops. But when she watched President Barack Obama last month sign the hard-fought bill allowing for the ban’s Repeal, melancholy tinged her satisfaction. “This is another bridesmaid moment for the Transgender community,” the 51-year-old San Diego resident said. And so the river of progress flows ever on to the sea. What: You thought th...

Weirdo God Kills Birds To Show Disapproval of DADT Repeal
We haven’t spent a lot of time on this “birds dropping out of the sky” (landing?)/general death of animals thing, but that’s good, because this Televangelist woman came up with the obvious reason for it: the Repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Why does God have to be so weird and obscure about how he sends messages? Even a Teabaagger knows how to make a Protest Sign. Well, there’s something interesting we have been watching - let’s talk about t...
DADT Repeal Killed All Those Birds, Obviously
So, remember those dead birds from Arkansas last week? So far, all the sciencey eggheads are willing to say is that they seem to have suffered some kind of "impact trauma" after being startled by some loud noises and flying into houses and trees. I don't know about you, but that explanation sure as hell doesn't satisfy me. (Last I heard, there are no houses or trees up in the sky.) There has to be a more logical explanation.
But, don't worry. Cindy Jacobs — ...
Great Expectations - By Charles Kenny
This week has seen a predictable outpouring of disappointment about the state of Haiti one year after the country's devastating Earthquake. It was predictable in part because some deserving causes for scorn -- the pace of rubble removal, the slow dispersal of reconstruction funds, the Cholera outbreak -- have emerged over the last year. But it was predictable mainly because not a Natural Disaster goes by without year-after retrospectives bemoaning slow progress. Hurricane Katrina, the Asian ts...
Oil companies unfazed by deep-water report
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Energy companies working in the United States moved ahead of a federal report on the BP Oil Spill, saying Tuesday the report was myopic. A federal panel investigating the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico last year released its findings on the accident Tuesday in Washington. But Kenneth Cohen, vice president of Exxon Mobil Corp., said before the final report was released that the commission cast too wide of a net, the Houston Chronicle reports. "The BP...
Quake amputees embody resilience in broken Haiti
By Tom Brown
Port-au-Prince | Mon Jan 10, 2011 12:36pm EST
Port-au-Prince (Reuters) - Sprinting on their crutches at breakneck speed, the young amputee Soccer players who lost limbs in Haiti's Earthquake last year project a symbol of hope and resilience in a land where so much is broken.
Playing a weekend warm-up match days before the anniversary of the devastating January 12 quake, the players, all lower extremity amputees, control the ball artfully with their good legs, avoiding "illegal" c...
An Open Letter to Nahila Campos
Your Press Release enlightens persons who are so blinkered that they believe the myth that huge Earthquakes, such as the one that struck Haiti last year, are unmitigated catastrophes. Sure, many people are killed by the massive destruction. But the shining bright side is all the “jobs and opportunity” that are bestowed on the survivors. Let’s pray that when the current clean-up effort is completed Haiti will be blessed with yet another earthquake - or, perhaps...

National Security Threatened By Global Warming Diseases
Less than a year after a U.S. government report claimed Global Warming causes Mental Illness and Cancer, intelligence and health officials assert that it will also create a National Security threat by spreading disease among people and animals.
This extremely “worrisome” consequence of Climate Change has been ignored for more than a decade by governments worldwide, which means there are “significant gaps”...

Obama calls on world to honor Haiti pledges
The US leader, who presided over a major US humanitarian mission for the ill-starred state a year ago, also said Haitians must be in the lead as they fight back, and said a relief effort would take years, if not decades.
