For extended (and often extensive) research on individual issues, browse the Update Topics menu trees above. Hovering the mouse over individual Topics branches many of them out into groups of secondary, tertiary and in one case (so far) even quaternary sub-Topics.

Speaking of “don’t try this at home...”

“An Australian pilot said he was forced to make a harrowing landing reminiscent of a Hollywood thriller after a snake popped out from behind his dashboard and slithered across his leg during a solo cargo flight.“

Media Bias Update:

[Several subtopics are available for further study on the

Update Topics / Politics / Media Bias menu tree.]

“The mainstream media [are] ignoring a case in which the Obama administration was forced to pay $120,000 to a pro-life advocate it targeted with a lawsuit and false claims that pro-life sidewalk counselor Susan Pine was violating federal law.”

Black Culture Update:

[Several subtopics are available for further study on the

Update Topics / Culture / Black Culture menu tree.]

“Six [black] juveniles — the youngest 11, and the oldest 17 — nearly boxed in Dallas Watts, a 78-year-old [white] man from East Toledo.“

and…

“FBI and U.S. Justice Dept. statistics confirm that blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites than whites are to commit violence against blacks. Ninety percent of the victims of race crimes are white.“

“Green” Economies Update:

[Several subtopics are available for further study on the

Update Topics / Economics / “Green” Economies menu tree.]

“Green growth proponents are convinced that if they could only offer the right subsidies, their agenda would prevail. Unfortunately, subsidies are doomed to fail because they try to make fundamentally economic decisions through the political process. [Government] officials, no matter how well-informed they are, simply don’t know what demand for green products will look like or what the opportunity cost of different technologies may be. Examples like Solyndra, Evergreen Solar, and Cascade Grains illustrate the enormous costs when the government gets it wrong. Far from being the exception, failed investments are by far the more likely result when state governments try to steer the market.“

Obamacare Update:

“Other effective ways exist to ensure necessary health insurance coverage for more Americans that are less onerous, less unpopular, and less constitutionally questionable than an individual mandate. They include extending protection against new medical underwriting because of changes in health status to those in the individual market if they maintain qualified, continuous insurance coverage, redistributing and prioritizing current insurance coverage subsidies, maintaining a backup system of safety-net protections, and improving the cost, quality, and value of health care.”

Entitlements Update:

A nightclub in Montgomery, Ala. is raising eyebrows by hosting a “Food Stamp Friday” party on April 6 that seems to glamorize life on the federal government’s food assistance program.
