The difference there, though, is that Senators have to negotiate and work with others who don’t believe in those things to get stuff done. Sure, Senator X might think the Earth is 6000 years old, but he has to put that aside to get bills he wants through.

After 7 years and a whole lot of vampire sex watching, I’m leaving io9. Gather up friends, this is the goodbye post.
Aspirin is actually a pretty amazing chemical. It’s initial isolation from tree bark, the ease with which it can be synthesized (if you took Chem 101 in college, you probably made aspirin), it’s initial uses as a pain medication, fever reducer, the discovery that it causes bleeding and ulcers, the use of the bleeding…
