11:31AM - atceroties vēsturi (the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce)

Ziņa no 2007. gada: "Pārbaudēs konstatēts, ka 50 miljoni latu, ko dokumentos uzrādījusi [Ogres] banka, reāli kredītiestādes korespondentkontos nav. Bankas vadība esot skaidrojusi, ka neko par šo situāciju nezinot. Kāds bankas pārstāvis arī esot FKTK atzinies, ka ilgāku laiku viltojis bankas finanšu dokumentus, kas it kā esot darīts «kā mārketinga triks»."

3:13PM - PRO abortion! VISU LATVIJAI!

A few years ago there was a notorious study by Donohue and Levitt that claimed that increased availability of abortion among the American underclass had eventually led to less crime because of the birth of fewer at-risk children.
