The World As It Is NOW

This article on Newsweek is a must read. The article talks about something I have said dozens of times over the last few years: The World is no longer in a Cold War. During the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union found it safer to engage one another indirectly through the use [...]

How to Report the News

This is AWESOME.

Newsweek – MSM Worth Reading

I am not a fan of Main Stream Media (MSM for you not in the know). I see most of it as total bunk paid for by certain groups and steered by revenue needs not news. I don’t really see Newsweek as a news source, which is amusing given that it is actually called Newsweek. [...]

Haiti WTFedness!

Apparently the Red Cross has asked people to stop sending their own breast milk to Haiti. The quote? “Tell them not to send it,” said Eric Porterfield, a spokesman for the American Red Cross. “I’m 100 percent sure we didn’t ask for that.” I can’t begin to really say why giving someone else your breast milk is [...]

New feature? False Flag Bingo?!?

There is a new book out on the attack of the USS Liberty false flag event, Ship without a Country. Paraphrasing from “The Art of War” , that all war is based on deception, and with comic book hero Obama set to announce a three year freeze in discretionary spending, except for the Department of [...]

Four-Winged Dinosaur

Wired Magazine: Four-Winged Dinosaur As this particular subject relates to a recent thread (or moreso to a reply of mine within said thread, ref. AMNH), I thought I’d share the latest on the research. This article is in this month’s Wired. I’ve watched this research come into focus over the past two years. The flight tests alone [...]

NFC Nightmare

Am I the only one who was totally grossed out by the NFC championship game? 1) Brett Favre got hit more times than Ali in the Thrilla From Manilla. 2) Minnesota Vikings almost won the game in spite of having something like 8 turnovers. 3) New Orleans Saints, possessing one of the best offenses in the history of the NFL, [...]

In honor of my latest post (referring to Ungulate Emasculation)…

… after all this time, cocaine does make you smarter! Who knew?! Cocaine-induced alterations in gene expression cause changes in neuronal morphology and behavior that may underlie cocaine addiction. In mice, we identified an essential role for histone 3 lysine 9 (H3K9) dimethylation and the lysine dimethyltransferase G9a in cocaine-induced structural and behavioral plasticity. Repeated [...]

The Known Universe

If nothing else, something to push that “Jackson” pic down some

La Toya Jackson Scares Me

Seriously, the women is a Halloween film. You may have heard that she and Michael were never in the same place at the same time and that there was some speculation that they may actually be the same person. They aren’t. Michael was a freak, yes, but he was talented. La Toya is a train [...]

Ungulate Emasculation Pontification and Anna Nicole Smith

“‘…endothelial function of the penis in arteriosclerotic pigs’ is perhaps to a layperson as quizzically funny and irrelevant as Anna Nicole Smith’s autopsy citation of an ‘unremarkable’ anus. Unfortunately (or otherwise) the penile endothelium is a sensitive model for assessing the disfunction that contributes so much to arterial disease… Indeed, penile endothelium is a great [...]

Lessons

Although my children are too young to grasp the full weight of the human (and other sentient living things) suffering in Haiti, I’m instinctually-drawn to producing a list that I’d normally use as an “educational moment” to reflect on: 1) There are good, moral people involuntarily caught-up in this crisis (stated in opposition to a few [...]

Olbermann on Haiti

Olbermann is a great orator who sometimes lends himself to grandstanding. This is not one of those times.

Friendlier Fascism – Here a Czar, there a Czar …

So much corruption, so little time. I liked the phrase from one of the comments on the article, and used it for this posts title.

Government Makes Me Feel More Safer..and Whatnot.

The government at its finest. At least they are keeping that dangerous 8-year old from blowing up stuff – whew terror threat diverted. Best part is that Mikey there is a decorated CUB SCOUT – of course everyone knows the Cub Scouts are a paramilitary organization bent on world domination through popcorn sales. I have a [...]

Why Sweat the Big Freeze?!

The primary science-related “buzz” of the past month has been frozen upon the “big freeze”. Alas, I’ve been the target of a few verbal barbs coming from some self-assured climate change sceptics. To which I’ve managed a half-hearted smile attempting to avoid my native impulse to expand their knowledge of statistics while utilizing prose [...]

The Ultimate Answer

I despise what I call leader statements. What is a leader statement? I define a leader statement as one that requires the listener to respond or inquire for more information. Basically it is a setup statement made by a person who wants the listener to need to know more, and thus they are required to [...]

One comedian I definitely miss.

Paintball Pop art

This is what happens when you have a group of people who have way to much time. One should ask themselves why did they not shoot each other with those costly paintballs? The Video The making

The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! LOLLAPALOOZA! God I hate them.

What?! Sorry… I was daydreaming.

Culturally we are all sensitized to relating the act of daydreaming to that of a lazy mind. School-aged children are repeatedly encouraged to stop daydreaming and to “focus” upon the task at-hand. Additionally, a wandering mind is often cited as a leading cause of traffic accidents in adults. This theorized lack of discipline in mental [...]

For a good Cause

I know we spend lots of time bitching about politics and to be honest none note worthy news articles.  On this particular day I present to you an amazing story.  Not only does this hit close to home with my own medical past but the gentleman highlighted in this story is a very close and [...]

Overpopulation, Carrying Capacity, and Quality of Life {HXR5U9GYP3SA}

Video Interview of Garrett Hardin – Author of the “Tragedy of the Commons” Overview: Increased population makes things worse. There are various ways to influence population growth: tax incentives and government policies. More people mean more congestion and demands upon arable land. Discussion of energy, solar power, desalinization. Aesthetics and standard of living. Ecology, wilderness. Carrying capacity [...]
