made in late May. It's ironic, isn't it that having been villified and treated as the laughing-stock of the late 70's, that President Carter, after all these years, was right the entire time. The Israel nuke story is not new, but to have a former president confirm it is just the nail in the coffin.

I am not surprised. A slightly more horrible situation than I believd; but it makes sense in light of the fascistic trend in the United States since the accursed Reagan era which set the stage for the mess that Bush the Second and his congressional betrayers of the people draged our (?) country into.

good job, Tim. bringing up facts thatVIDEO: Cathal Pendred gains over 20 pounds in three hours ahead of UFC 188

In other news: Mexico City supermarket sells out of potatoes.

Cathal Pendred was on the button with his UFC weigh-in, in the early hours of this morning, ahead of his welterweight bout with Mexico's Augusto Montano.

'The Punisher' weighed in at 170 and faced off against the hometown favourite before dashing back to his hotel to pile some pounds back on.

Gaining weight after a weigh-in is a well-todden route in the UFC but Pendred's feat of weight gain is pretty impressive.

21 pounds in three hours. That's a lot of carbs, and fluids.

Here is the full video of the weigh-ins. Pendred and Montano grace the screen at the seven-minute mark.
