“America is not broke.

Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you’ll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It’s just that it’s not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

Today just 400 Americans have the same wealth as half of all Americans combined.

Charlie Sheen has broken the Guinness World Record for reaching 1 million Twitter followers the fastest. It took him just 25 hours and 17 minutes, Guiness confirmed Thursday.

“Guinness World Records is excited to continue expanding the number of social media records it holds and looks forward to new records emerging from the rapidly evolving world of social media,” the organization said in a statement.

With Sheen no longer receiving his $1.2 million per episode salary on Two and a Half Men, he has said his “primary motivation” is to Tweet out celeb endorsements soon. “I’m unemployed!” he told TMZ.com, adding that the social network site twitter, is a “cash cow.”

As the U.S. government continues to heap billions in subsidies to the world’s wealthiest coal and oil companies, the solar industry has been struggling to make it in the States. This is sad for many reasons, not the least of which is that we’re missing out on one of the biggest growth industries in the world.

Fortunately HyperSolar, a new U.S. company, offers a bright ray of sunny hope on the clean energy frontier.

If we have the political will to overcome the stranglehold of the fossil fuel industry on our nation’s energy policy, we could become 100 percent renewably powered in a 2030-2050 time frame.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down Friday and handed over power to the military — three decades of his iron-clad rule ended by an 18-day revolution that could ripple across the Arab world.

In a somber one-minute announcement on state television, Vice President Omar Suleiman said Mubarak had resigned and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces will “run the affairs of the country.”

Tens of thousands of emotional Egyptians exploded in deafening cheers on the streets of Cairo, electric with excitement. It was a moment they had anticipated throughout long days of relentless demonstrations — sometimes violent — that demanded Mubarak’s departure.

It was also a moment that had been to many unimaginable in the Arab world’s powerhouse nation.
