Iska River Disappears Overnight

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Iska River Disappears Overnight

The Iska River in Slovenia vanished overnight after residents reported hearing loud crashing sounds. ::..::.. On Tuesday, the Iska River was bubbling past the village of the same name. On Wednesday… it was gone. Residents say they heard crashing and drumming sounds during the night. When they went to the river the next morning, they watched what was left of it disappear before their eyes. Geologists believe the water disappeared into the porous limestone riverbed and is now flowing under ground. It's said the same thing happened to the river before during World War II. It's not clear when or if the water will resurface. ::..::.. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6898039n added by: vancitysage

Colbert (Briefly) Breaks Character in Testimony before Congress

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Colbert (Briefly) Breaks Character in Testimony before Congress

Stephen Colbert mostly yucked it up during his congressional testimony today, but towards the end, Democrat Judy Chu actually got him to break his faux-pundit facade. After relating the story of a worker overcome by heat stroke, but unable to find medical help, she asked Colbert why he had chosen to tackle the migrant worker topic. Colbert took a moment to collect himself, and then, with a stammer he said, “I… I like talking about people who don’t have any power.” (See video from CNN.) “This seems like one of the least powerful groups of people in the United States are migrant workers who come and do our work and don’t have any rights as a result.” Then the comedian actually quoted the Bible non-ironically saying, “You know, whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers—and these seem like the least of our brothers right now. … Migrant workers suffer and have no rights.” Full testimony video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6kKlnVl3UE added by: Future_America
