The Daily Word in radioactive recycling, toilet thievery and lobbying success stories

Ty Bannerman  [ Wed Feb 6 2013 9:14 AM ]

The New Mexico GMO labeling bill died on the Senate floor, despite a lot of apparent support. Last minute heavy handed lobbying suspected.

Need to unload some guns? Bring them to the Bernalillo County Safe Surrender Buy Back program and get some quick cash.

APS election results are in!

New Mexico metal thieves have found a new target for their nefarious burgling: toilet fixtures.

LANL may start recycling mostly, kind of, probably radiation free scrap metals (okay, maybe some not-so-radiation free scrap too).

Filled with right-wing rage and the desire to post Obama=Hitler pictures, but find that your Facebook "friends" keep blocking you? Check out the Tea Party Community. It's just like Facebook, but right-wing ragier.

Barnes and Noble, the last of the big box bookstores, may be on its way out. So ends the age of literary giants?

And the Boy Scouts of America still can't figure out what to do about those gosh darned gays.

By Ari LeVaux

For years, polls have shown that about 90 percent of Americans support the labeling of foods that contain genetically modified organisms. That’s about as close to a consensus as you’re going to get in this country. But amazingly, in this supposed bastion of freedom and democracy, we’re denied the fundamental right to know what’s in our food. It’s a right that more than 50 other nations, including China and Russia, offer their citizens.

We’ve Created a GMOnster

Genetically engineered plants will affect organic dairy and meat

By Ari LeVaux
The Obama administration struck a blow to freedom in food and agriculture late January when the USDA deregulated genetically modified alfalfa seed. The agency’s decision threatens to deprive farmers of the right to produce GM-free milk and meat, while denying consumers the right to purchase it.
