Peace Talks to Resume in Israel, Clinton to Meet With Netanyahu
(ChattahBox)—-After a lengthy Thursday night telephone call between Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, relations have thawed between the United States and the Jewish state.

And special peace envoy George J. Mitchell has been dispatched once again, to Israel to resume the peace process in the war-torn region. Read more »

New Invisibility cloak prototype advances to 3-D
Indiana (ChattahBox) – An exciting development in cloaking technology, it’s now advanced to 3-D. Previous invisibility cloaks have already been developed but they only worked on two dimensions, so that objects that were supposed to be made invisible were immediately visible from the third dimension. Researchers from the German Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Imperial College London have created the three-dimensional that can hide objects by bending light waves, which could pave the way for larger objects to be made invisible.

(ChattahBox)— Fox News’ Glenn Beck’s off-the-wall conspiracy theories, have reached a fevered pitch of late, as he rails against Progressivism as a Marxist, Communist, Socialist, Nazism cancer and a poison that’s destroying America. And he has appointed himself the head wingnut “progressive hunter” fashioned after “Israeli Nazi hunters.” According to Beck’s nightly chalkboard rants, progressives are also “vampires” who have a “taste of blood” and will imprison people in “death camps.” With all of this comedy-gold material to work with Jon Stewart of Comedy Central, for the second time, to great hilarity, performed a parody of Glenn Beck’s nightly paranoid insanity, in which he concluded that Sesame Street’s Bert was really Adolf Hitler.

Sean Hannity’s ‘Freedom Concert’ Charity Series Accused of Improprieties
(ChattahBox) – Those “Freedom Concerts” across America that conservative talk show star Sean Hannity has hosted for years, are supposed to help the children of fallen soldiers pay for college and to pay for the medical care of wounded veterans. But according to conservative blogger Debbie Schlussel who tends to operate on the fringe, “it’s all a huge scam.” Schlussel claims, “While Hannity’s Freedom Concerts take in millions, only a few hundred thousand go to the claimed intended recipients.” She came to this conclusion after going through the tax returns of Freedom Alliance, the charity that helps Hannity throw the concerts, and found that less than 20 percent of the money raised goes to these causes. For example in 2006, Freedom Alliance raised almost $11 million, but only $397,900 was donated to children of fallen soldiers or to injured veterans. $979,485 was spent, meanwhile on consultants, and more than $3 million was spent on postage and shipping and printing. In 2008 Freedom Alliance tax forms show they took in $8,781,431 in revenue and gave $1,060,275.57 total-or just 12%-to seriously wounded soldiers and for scholarships to children of the fallen.
