Huffington Post: Solar Power Gets Massive Boost In Connecticut As States Continue To Support Green Energy Push Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:39 AM PST MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) — As Connecticut pushes aggressively to expand solar energy to homes across the state, few supporters are more enthusiastic than Eugene DeJoannis. The retired mechanical engineer from Manchester has long been a booster of green energy and boasts a keen interest in home energy issues. He's now serving as a volunteer solar ambassador promoting a state program that subsidizes home solar projects and urges homeowners to participate. "I have a personal fascination with the residential energy picture," DeJoannis said. "Whenever we go to church, I invariably take out my literature and display it there." Read More...

Huffington Post: David Mamet: Obama Is A 'Tyrant' Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:39 AM PST Oscar-nominated filmmaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet has spent the past several years separating himself from Hollywood liberalism. In 2008, he penned a Village Voice essay titled "Why I Am No Longer a Brain-Dead Liberal." Earlier this year, he voiced his anti-gun control sentiments in a Newsweek piece. Now, Mamet has slammed President Barack Obama with a rather harsh label. "He's a tyrant," Mamet said during an appearance on "The Hugh Hewitt Show." "And I give him great credit. He's always said that his idea was to reform the United States. And, you know, like many tyrants, like Wilson and like Franklin Delano Roosevelt, he believes that his way is the right way and that he's going to implement his vision of the world, and many agree with him. And he's acting in concert with his conscience. And I applaud him for that. I just disagree with everything he's done." Mamet's sentiments are, of course, in good company, even among the liberal-heavy entertainment industry. Matt Damon ("Imagine if they had a leader"), James Woods ("This president is a true abomination") and director Oliver Stone ("Obama is a snake") are among the celebrities who've spoken out against Obama in recent months.

Huffington Post: Olympic Flame Sets Russian Torchbearer's Jacket On Fire In Latest Relay Mishap (VIDEO) Posted: 29 Nov 2013 08:40 AM PST MOSCOW (Reuters) - In the latest mishap to befall the Olympic flame, a Russian torchbearer's clothing caught fire this week as he carried it through a Siberian city. A clip posted on YouTube by the Russian site Lifenews shows former Olympic bobsledder Pyotr Makarchuk parading the torch through a crowd in the city of Abakan when flames suddenly leap from the left shoulder and upper arm of his jacket. Escorts immediately put out the flames and Makarchuk was not injured, said Roman Osin, spokesman for the Russian Sochi 2014 torch relay, who witnessed the incident on Wednesday. The flames were caused by drops of liquid gas that fell on Makarchuk's jacket, he said. Russia is conducting the longest torch relay before any Winter Games: a four-month, 65,000-km (40,000 mile) journey that will end at the opening ceremony in Sochi on February 7. The Olympic flame has been to the north pole and Lake Baikal, and cosmonauts took an unlit torch on a spacewalk last month outside the International Space Station. But the torch has gone out dozens of times, including an incident minutes after President Vladimir Putin handed it off in Red Square on October 6. At other times it has burned too fiercely. Osin said nobody has been injured by the torch. He declined to say how many times it has gone out. (Writing by Steve Gutterman; Editing by Mark Trevelyan) Read More... More on Sports Fails
