. . . that he wants an ethics investigation into the incident."It's just highly inappropriate, it's a despicable message, it drips with racism and I think she should step down from the committee," said Baugh.
If you live in an area where there is a lot of drilling for natural gas, this recent study found that fracking for natural gas is more hazardous than burning coal - according to Yahoo! News.And finally, you will be amazed by the following three items:
- Safes, cash washed up on Japan shores after the tsunami -according to an April 10 story from Yahoo! News.
- We learn of a World War Two era German Dornier 17 bomber that was found intact underwater - from Yahoo! News Photos.
