Right field might be a good spot for a picnic. Lay down a blanket, put out a spread, you'll get it. ;)

Many times in my life I thought I had the flu, but after finally having actual flu a few years ago, all those other times were just bad colds or some bacterial infection. Not the flu. Before I got the flu, I didn't know much about it. After I recovered, finally, I learned a lot. I learned that I...

Well, sperm doesn't really fit the bill. The make love, not war. hehe Besides, millions deploy and usually only one is successful. While ubiquitous, cοckrοaches don't ever gather up and invade and kill other cοckrοaches, or much of anything else. The Africanized honey bee (killer bees)...

I like Dear Abby, too. Good job all around. :)

There are two organisms on this planet who will gather up and make war, for land expansion, to eliminate enemies, competition for natural resources, or just for the Ηell of it. Human is one of these organisms. Can anyone name the other? It is an organism that man shares a disturbingly high...

It's actually three, sort of, or one, depending on how you look at it. For pure news, The BBC World Service presents news stories in the tradition of Edward R Murrow and use the classic Five Ws (and one H) of news reporting. Outside of the headlines, where they do "in depth" stories, the...

You don't care what I or anyone else thinks, yet you somehow are able to "know" what does and does not irk me. Interesting. You're wrong, in any case. Constantly associating the person with demeaning comments will have an association with the office itself. It's a famously effective tactic, one...

Prove what wrong?

They don't even teach objective reporting in journalism school anymore. Part of the curriculum is to effectively interpret what they facts mean to the readers and listeners. True. You cannot hardly read or listen to a report without the reporter interjecting editorial comments of some kind, even...

It's not paranoia. It's real. The next big global killer won't be nuclear war, but the flu. Just a quick glance at the epidemics and pandemics of the last 200 years makes that obvious. Let's just hope this next major round of vaccines won't be like the ones that the government highly touted in...

In a related story, Unilever's stock slipped slightly on the news that it's latest dividend would be 5.72%, or sixty-nine cents.

I should add that Paul Williams is someone to be listened to, but with a grain of salt. He has become obsessed to the point of fanaticism with terrorism and his "American Hiroshima" scenario where he believes that at attack on 7-10 American cities using suitcase nukes is not only possible, or...

The author of this piece has taken great liberty and poetic license with what Mike Boettcher and Jason Striuszko are reporting, not to mention failing to fully state what the Rules of Engagement actually are, and instead took them piecemeal out of context to make his point. Stuff like this gets...

Bend over and grab your ankles! Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. joins Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius as she describes how big the hole will be after the Democrats finish ripping America a new one.

Add into the mix that corporations who move parts or all of their operations offshore get tax breaks for doing so, and when you look at what Congress has done over the last few decades, one could make an argument for a systematically implemented form of fiscal attack on our sovereignty, and when...

Correct, not here. That's not what happens, usually. Posts are made (the cut-n-paste types) with little or no comments of substance. Comments follow, and when the OP comes back, it's not to discuss the pros and cons of the issue, but usually to defend to the original posting, which is the...

Exactly. Most of the "discussion" here lately isn't discussion at all, but emotional froth. It reminds me of the Internet movie reviews that consist primarily of things like, "The movie sux" or "It was awesome! It rulz!" and there is little substance. People have a deep seeded need to be part of...

"The speed of the world's biggest jets was no match against the slow and steady pace of a group of turtles..." See? Slow and steady wins the race. :) → → → → ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

And on Leo's salient note.... What if he's right? Palin Trades Governors Office For Book Deal and Spokeperson Position When you read the article, don't skip too fast over where she talks about her journalism degree.
