There's been a change in the nation and its citizens' attitudes when it comes to science projects in the last decade or so. It is partly due to financial hardships, but there is a deeper undercurrent going on. Objectivity has been replaced by Politics and scientific facts' validity are not an indisputable matter anymore, rather their accuracy is put to the vote in the public court of opinion, a court that contains in ever increasing numbers ignorant hobbits that Read More

" One candidate seemed to taunt his critics by showing disdain for anyone who supports the entitlement for seniors"
Nonsense. Perry spoke the truth. There is no lock box. Seniors are not "getting what they paid in back." Seniors paid for previous seniors and the ratio on non-seniors to seniors is terrible.
The program was designed to have age of eligibility be older than average life expectancy.
The program now also pays a large part of the benefits to non-seniors.
It Read More

I've never noticed it so hideously loud as I do during these matches, and yes, my husband and I watch soccer, he's an ardent fan.
Obviously this has become a big issue for players, in stadium fans, and viewers:

There has been some... discussion... even within the state about choosing Bentonville as the location for the museum... But the Waltons have been spending lavishly lately to grab every bit of an art scene and in the future, performing arts (since they are planning a new, larger, arts center nearby as well), that money can buy for the city, and of course Bentonville isn't complaining.
You are correct in that it is not in a major city (the area is a conglomeration Read More

Bad pic of Romney and nice pic of Slick Rick.
Yep I must be on the anti-Romney WSJ website.
Is the WSJ going to endorse the flip flopping RINO Rick Perry ?
The FACT is Texas has a poor economy where the unemployment rate is at a high 8.4%, that's the indicator that matters. Not some meaningless slogan that Texas has created 40% of all the new jobs in the last three years.
40% of almost nothing.................is nothing. Meanwhile Oklahoma has an unemployment Read More

The quality of this year's ads means I will not look forward to the SuperBowl for the ads next year. And the notion that the most disgusting and gross ads were favorites of ad executives makes you ponder why they are executives at all. And why sell me beer, soda, and chips when I already made my choices before the game? It's like pitching turkey on Thanksgiving day.Richard, it's Thanksgiving Day, even Sen. Inhofe was with his family. Be more concerned that there Read More

Walmart is not an American compnay. It is interested in profit only. Years ago I worked at a factory that made movies for the movie industry. Walmart would demand the price they wanted to pay for the product. The result was that the company could not compete with the price demanded, and the factory closed their doors. Walmart does this in the majority of industry. They tell companies what price they will pay, how they want it packaged, the whole extent Read More

I agree with Ms. Thayer. I used to live in an 1834 house in town and what I saw people throw away
in their "renovations" was appalling. A house near mine was stripped of a black walnut bannister and
newel post with ivory button, honey pine floors in some rooms, and horsehair plaster walls. All was
done to create an open layout in an 18th century house. The stuff went out to the Madaket dump where
I am certain some wise person picked it up and reinstalled in Read More

If I was to make a movie about Washington, I would cast Perry as President. Unfortunately he is like the Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz: "If I only had a Brain." Pro-Life and against a vaccine kknown to prevent cancer!?
Started as a Dem and became a Republican. Accepted President "W" Bush's aid then turns against him?
MIchelle Bachman is looking better every day. I do not agree with her social policy but I knkow where she stands. Loved the way she handled David Read More

@ Jon Stanley
The constitution permits many things, and mandates very few things.
It permits a military. It does not require a military, nor does it set levels of military spending or procurement decisions.
For most of U.S. history, we had no standing army and only raised one in times of war. This was especially true in the late 1700s, after the Revolutionary war. In fact, we specifically fought a revolution because we did not want to pay taxes for a war with Read More
