Despite heavy sales, no shortage of deer-hunting ammunition anticipated -- Sales of ammunition and firearms have defied an economic downturn in which consumers have sharply curtailed spending. Purchases of firearms and ammo have skyrocketed since last fall and are only now showing signs of leveling off, experts say. Demand was driven at least in part by concerns that the Obama administration and some members of Congress would seek new taxes or fees on firearms and ammunition as well as the components that go into ammunition, said Tom LaChé, a board member of the Daniel Boone Conservation League in Richfield.
The Housing Tsunami’s Second Wave -- The next tidal wave of losses on home mortgages is testament to a failed housing experiment designed by the Federal Reserve under the false pretense of home ownership. In past years, mortgages were issued to responsible homeowners who took pride in home ownership and paid their mortgage on time. But when so many risky mortgage products, such as option ARMS, interest-only loans, cash out REFI’s, no money down, etc., became available to practically anyone looking to buy a house, regardless of income, these products became the rage (a 20 percent down payment to bind an owner to a property was so yesterday) and home equity literally vanished.

Why Millions of Americans Don't Need a Swine Flu Vaccine -- All these millions of people who were infected by H1N1 and didn't die have naturally made their own swine flu antibodies. They are now immune to the swine flu, and they now have zero risk of being infected or killed by this H1N1 swine flu in the future. Given that there is zero reward but some measurable risk for these people taking the vaccine, it only makes sense that people who have existing H1N1 antibodies should never be given an H1N1 vaccine shot.

Just say no to anti-bacterial burgers -- When you give antibiotics to animals meant to become food, however, you're ensuring that antibiotics end up in the food in low but constant doses.
