In 1939, one of Jim Wright’s classmates penned a prescient note in the high school yearbook, predicting that, in 1955, “Congressman Wright” would deliver “the most erudite speech heard in the Congressional Hall.” Sixteen years later, in 1955, Mr. Wright arrived in Washington as the newly elected U.S. representative from the 12th District of Texas. It was the beginning of a 34-year congressional career that fulfilled a boyhood dream and ended with his becoming the 48th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Even after that part of his career collapsed in 1989, Mr. Wright portrayed himself as a lucky man. “I got to do in life what I set out to do,” ...

Sputnik... Opium production in Afghanistan has been surging for years despite all efforts to eradicate it, but this year mysterious high-yielding super seeds could create an even bigger crop - and more heroin on the market. Afghan farmers are preparing for a bumper crop of the already lucrative poppies, as new seed promises larger, faster growing plants that need less water and produce more resin, the main ingredient in heroin. The cash crop worth up to 12 times what traditional crops garner on the market has surged in popularity among Afghan farmers since the US-led invasion. Under the Taliban's strict ban, poppies were virtually eradicated in 2001, but production levels have ...

A friend said recently, "When you told me they were pushing the whole transgender thing, I didn't believe you. But now ..." And yes, it's true. Said Bruce in his long-awaited two-hour interview with Diane Sawyer: "What I'm doing is going to do some good. What I'm doing is going to change the world. There are so many out there like me." The announcer: An estimated 700,000 transgender Americans all around us. Jenner: "Bruce lives a lie. SHE is not a lie." No, I'm not gay. I've never been with a guy. Apparently, Jenner began his sex change back in the 1980s, when he was prescribed female hormones and took them for five years until he ...

Workers who get in car accidents during their commute to or from work can apply to Taiwan's Bureau of Labor Insurance (BLI) for compensation, but when a Taipei citizen applied he was rejected by the BLI because he didn't follow Google Maps' suggested route, our sister paper Want Daily reports. Mr Hu, who works for a bank, posted on Facebook that in February 2014 he was returning home from his office on Anhe Road by motorcycle. Finding the most direct route, Keelung Road, to be too crowded, he chose a different route and got into an accident on Roosevelt Road. After the accident, Hu went to a hospital and applied to the BLI, which later rejected his application saying he ...

BlackListedNews... We’re talking about Tony Abbott, who just ruled from on high that there are no more exemptions from vaccines in Australia. No more conscientious objections, no more religious exemptions. Only the rare medical exemption, permitted by a doctor. And suddenly, every family who refuses vaccinations for their children will lose up to $15,000 per year, per child, in federal support money. Every family in Australia is eligible for federal money. Tony has officially ripped away citizens’ right to choose. Australia is now officially a medical police state. But… 2006: Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott refused to vaccinate his daughters On November 9, ...

There was once a small brick barbeque joint on Divisadero Street in San Francisco known as Da’ Pitt. Its customer base was small, but loyal, comprised mostly of low-income African-American families. Though no one travelled more than walking distance to get there, nor wrote about it on Urbanspoon, it fed its community and it was loved. But the neighborhood gentrified, the community dwindled, and Da’Pitt could no longer serve enough BBQ to pay its rent. Another company, 4505 Meats, took over the space. They put wood tables outside and painted the exterior. They added a vegetarian sandwich, an organic salad, and beers on tap to the menu. They hired young, bearded, and beanied ...

ScienceAlert... A 26-year-old woman went in to have what she assumed to be a brain tumour removed… but surgeons actually pulled out what they believe to be an undeveloped embryonic twin, complete with hair, teeth and bone. Indiana University PhD student Yamini Karanam first went to see doctors when she started getting bad headaches and struggling with reading- and listening- comprehension, and they quickly spotted a rapidly growing pea-sized tumour on her pineal gland. But they've now discovered the mass was actually a 'teratoma' - a mysterious type of tumour that contains its own tissue and even organs. Although scientists still aren't entirely sure what causes ...

Want... A crested myna in Taichung, central Taiwan, was returned home safe and sound after repeatedly bombarding the thief with one question: "Why did you take me away?" local police said Friday. The species, known for its ability to imitate human voices, was stolen April 14 by a woman who had earlier tried unsuccessfully to buy the bird from its owner. The thief soon realized the bird was not something to be trifled with. The bird, named "Money More More," kept pestering the 56-year-old by saying in Taiwanese: "Why did you take me away?" When the police found her the next day after checking surveillance cameras, the thief did not hesitate to return the ...

Medscape... Crime, like medicine, has its own fee schedule. New York cardiologist Anthony Moschetto, DO, had one when he conspired to harm a fellow cardiologist he practiced with for 20 years, according to state prosecutors: $5000 to have his former colleague beaten to the point of hospitalization and $20,000 to have him killed. "He wanted to put him out of business so he could get his business," said Nassau County Assistant District Attorney Anne Donnelly in a news conference earlier this week. All Dr Moschetto managed to pull off was an unsuccessful attempt on February 25 to burn down the other physician's office in Great Neck, New York, where he once worked, authorities ...
