Massive Underground Fires are Spewing tons of toxins into air

Three blistering fires are blazing through Wyoming's scenic Powder River Basin, but firefighters aren't paying any attention.

China Blocks Foursquare; Too Many People Checking Into Tian’anmen

Jeepers. This is the stuff that must have the censors soiling in their pants. Virtually hundreds of people checked into Tian’anmen Square, the place where “something baaad happened” 21 years ago.
