It's funny... because it's true. :D

You mean the perpetual motion generator/motor that magically produces more energy than it consumes? The one that defies the Lenz's Law of how electromagnetic circuits obey Newton's Third Law which obeys the Law of Conservation of Energy? Machines utilizing the notion of perpetual motion have...

I don't disagree with that at all. Humanitarianism at its core is the doctrine that humanity's obligations are concerned wholly with the welfare of the human race, meaning without regard to race, creed, color, sex, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability...

This is Part Two I got involved with Oxfam when I was in high school. They were the first charity to truly strike a chord within me. They had a simple, noble cause free from BS, and most importantly ensured that the aid they were involved with actually got to where it was supposed go to...

This Part One I haven't. I haven't really looked very hard, tho. I can scan a portion of Oxfam's original charter if you like, where they explicitly profess the expected politically neutral stance of most non-profit organizations. But I think after reading the following, you won't need such...

I'm still torn on that issue. It's true that term limits is nothing more than telling people who they can and cannot vote for. Reagan argued, correctly, that as soon as the second term election was over, the next day people turned their attention to the election 4 years hence, thereby turning...

It'll be quite the fight, 'cause he'll need two-thirds majority in both Congressional chambers, along with ratification from 38 states. Good luck with that. "In thinking about it more and more, I have come to the conclusion that the 22nd Amendment was a mistake. Shouldn't the people have the...

I know with great confidence what I implied, because I'm the one who implied it. For you to incorrectly infer that I meant something other than what I said, and to go a far as to tell me what I was thinking when I wrote it, is insulting. ...so you're gonna stick with telling me what I'm...

I am fully aware of what I implied, and that ain't it. Go back and read what you quoted, paying particular attention to the phrase "more of." Yes I can, just not right now. It'll have you wait until much later tonight. I'm on my way to Staab Battery at the moment.

It may very well be silly, and fallacious, but I'm not the one to make that claim. Oxfam is the one who claims to be apolitical. There's no question that disaster relief and fighting poverty can have political ramifications and/or political associations. My issue is with them saying they aren't...

Rather than jump to such a conclusion, you probably should have read the original Scarlett Johansson, Oxfam part ways over politics AP report to see who is controlling what. Yeah, I can't see how that's relevant to her quitting Oxfam at all. She is the daughter of an American Jewish mother and a...

First of all, an ancient journalism axiom is, if a headline is a question that can be answered with the word "no" then "no" is usually the right answer. Second, Executive Order 13603 isn't anything new. It's simply an updating of one just like it that Bush signed. The original Executive Order...

Correct. The doctor must have a valid medical or physical reason for disqualification, and the FMCSA is very specific about what all is a disqualification. Here is the regulation listing the disqualifications: Physical qualifications for drivers. - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration...

Overzealous physicians getting kickbacks for sleep clinic referrals.

I have no doubt that there are many a Blog around the 'Net where they are talking about Baretta leaving Maryland.

Not it's not. The Maryland plant will stay right where it is on the banks of the Potomac and remain open, and a brand new, additional plant will be built in Tennessee. They aren't moving to Tennessee, they are expanding to Tennessee. The 400 Maryland employees will remain there on the payroll...

Here are some great pictures of what happened in the South. My favorite is the car trunk lined with little snowmen... in Mobile, AL. Snow Storms Hit the South - In Focus - The Atlantic

Ironically, the home of The Weather Channel is, ta-da! Atlanta.
