For the last few weeks, I have watched and listened to reports about "fake" snow falling all over North America, with the reports about snow not acting like snow in the eastern parts of the United States...

And how to pick them back up...  February 10, 2014 (ATN) -The West has praised Thaksin Shinawatra and his "populist" policies for years as an example of very best of modern progressive principles in practice. Cheap loans, free computers, and rice subsidies were hailed as democracy in action by the Western media - and those who questioned the unsustainable, corruption and scandal fraught policies were swiftly condemned as "elitists" who rejected equality.
