Let’s play “find that correlation!”

Okay, look, a 200-year drought is nothing to sneeze at. Still: A 200-year-long drought 4,200 years ago may have killed off the ancient Sumerian language, one geologist says. Because no written accounts explicitly mention drought as the reason for the Sumerian demise, the conclusions rely on indirect clues. But several pieces of archaeological and geological […]

 


If only she’d used this as her campaign platform, and: why California and Roseanne Barr are perfect for each other!

Ladies and gentlemen, Roseanne Barr: Yeah, see, because “woman” is just “man” with a prefix on it! Totally male dominated patriarchy, man! Uh, I mean … dude! So female, see, because female isn’t… …um…wait… And while we’re talking about Roseanne: California gave Democrats supermajorities in both of their legislative houses on Tuesday. California also gave […]

 




Democrats turn down Catholic leader – can’t say as I blame them

Given the Democrats’ history, would you take the chance? The story: Cardinal Timothy Dolan offered to give the prayer at the Democratic National Convention, but has been turned down: WASHINGTON – President Obama turned down a chance to have Timothy Cardinal Dolan deliver a prayer at the Democratic National Convention after Dolan told Democrats he […]

 




Do rich people know something we don’t?

So what you’re saying is, Tennessee Democrats are too stupid to know who they’re voting for. Is that what you’re saying?

Because it seems like that’s what you’re saying: The Tennessee Democratic Party disavowed its own U.S. Senate nominee Friday, announcing that he is “associated with a known hate group” – in this case, a conservative advocacy organization. “The only time that Clayton has voted in a Democratic primary was when he was voting for himself,” […]

Oddly twisted headline: Feds sue Arizona/Utah town for discriminating against the non-polygamous?

Here’s the actual headline: Polygamous towns face federal lawsuit for religious discrimination Officials of polygamous sect near Utah-Arizona border discriminate against nonmembers by putting their leader Jeffs above law, suit claims. Shouldn’t any legal action against a “polygamous sect” somehow involve…polygamy? It is still illegal, isn’t it? And if Justice isn’t going after them for […]

 

If the internal combustion engine had never been invented, would food preservatives be even more advanced today?

Café Hayek’s Don Boudreaux made an interesting argument in a letter he wrote to the Wall Street Journal: …industrial capitalism is history’s greatest anti-pollutant. Asphalt and automobiles, for example, combine to cleanse our cities and towns of the bacteria and insects (and stench) that are inseparable from animal-powered transportation. The petroleum used to make asphalt […]
