Nanci Pelosi – who has the safest seat in Congress – is marshaling her troops for a suicide charge: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues to back a major overhaul of U.S. health care even if it threatens their political careers, a call to arms that underscores the issue’s massive role in this [...]  Looks like the Navy isn’t the only service having one: “Why does the country need an independent Air Force?” the senior civilian assistant to Gen.

An 8.8 seismological event on the Richter Scale in Chile – an almost unimaginably powerful quake, considering that the Richter Scale is logarithmic.
