Says a lot more about his mentality than about anyone he's attempting to talk about.

And much of this planning and development must deal with the rising sea level that will affect the entire Eastern Atlantic coastline and I didn't see any analysis of this in the article.

it certainly is within the same spectrum as the Christian Dominionist cults

Caesar invaded Gaul for gold and slaves. 1/3 of the Celtic population was killed, another 1/3 enslaved, and the Romans used the gold and gold mines taken from them to further their expanding empire.

I find it laughable that people think the new Cosmos ever attacked religion. There is always a huge dichotomy between what theists think is a "militant atheist" versus a militant anything else. I don't see atheists blowing up people or starting wars using, "my god likes me best" as a reason but people use the same…

Same with several Hindu traditions though even though they are atheist they are certainly not rationally based.

Most people do not know how to evaluate information and fall for all sorts of awful falsehoods that are all over the internet. This was one of the biggest fears librarians had in the mid 90s when the internet was taking off and it seemed like everyone was wondering when the libraries would all close.

The crazy part is hearing Republicans of Irish descent making these comments. I wish their great grandparents could hear them.

I worked in libraries in the 1990s when the internet was just beginning to rise in the public's' awareness and the biggest concern librarians had was that information would be diluted and that without any intelligent critique or analysis of the information people would increasingly fall prey to confirmation bias and…

I call b$h!t. Complaining about the cost to taxpayers for the pittance it will take to care for these refugee children is ridiculous when the energy subsidies, tax breaks on investment income, tax dodging billionaires/millionaires, and endless wars are the true reasons our taxes are high but we as citizens get very…

And all this after the Palestinians were kicked out of their homes and land and forcibly relocated. The Israeli government complains about "terrorists on their front lawn" but these people were the original owners of the house before the Post WWII powers evicted them to create Israel. In typical fashion the current…

Yup, back in the mid 1990s this was the biggest fear among librarians I knew when they would discuss the future of the internet. While before the internet librarians and other information specialists would vet books, periodicals, and the like to ensure the library or institution correctly classified the information…

The Roman Empire was nearly bankrupt at the time and converting to Christianity (and switching local administrative functions to the Church) both brought in needed liquidity but also cut the costs of administrating the empire. In essence, the Christian church bailed the empire out in return for political power.

It's funny what people think makes them better than others.

They apparently don't do anything and Speaker Boener says we should judge them based on how little they get done. I wish I could have a job where not getting anything done is a good thing....

Though remember that the Affordable Care Act was the conservative version of healthcare reform. It doesn't matter whose idea it was if the Democrats are for it most of the Republicans will be against it.

I'm sure the plan is to pass a bail out for all the wealthy people whose vacation homes and properties are destroyed by severe weather events and cut funds for Medicaid and school lunch programs.

Yeah but with that name he's going to be Sith, I have no doubt.

If they can do that I'd be placated but not exactly happy. But for the love of the Force no more woodland Endor Leah please!. And, I hope they do introduce more strong female characters. The Star Wars movieverse needs them badly.

We lost the Fifth Estate when journalism became merely a vehicle for marketing and entertainment. FOX has even won cases where it is proven they have lied and their response is that the public should have no expectation of factual reporting because they are an entertainment/opinion company - specifically not…
