The FCC wants to regulate internet providers as providers of public utilities. This has nothing to do with content providers on the internet, which are neither utilities nor broadcasters.

It's the equivalent of getting a ticket from a cop on a segway.

I don't remember a lot of the content that I learned for my AP tests, but 'DBQ' gave me flashbacks.

Counter argument:

I think that line of argument (no problems with homosexuals, problem with homosexuality), is that it springs from wanting to follow what your religion tells you is correct while simultaneously trying not to sound like an asshole. It's not meant to be a sensible argument - it's trying to rationalize a position that…

The best story about the 314 was what happened to the Pacific Clipper. It was supposed to fly from California to New Zealand, with stops in between. As it flew between New Caledonia and Auckland, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Pan Am headquarters radioed the captain, telling him to strip the plane of markings and…

The B-36 also wins for the most ironic name for a piece of military equipment.

The best things about the Trimotor is that the engine gauges were mounted on the engines. Outside.

NASA is not gutted, they are just shifting some of their obligations to private contractors, such as Space-X (so I wouldn't call them 'non-governmental'). And Virgin Galactic will never be more than a pipe dream. First, they have nothing to do with space (they never get high enough), and secondly, it'll be a cold day…

No one is offended by the concept but, speaking for myself, I'm offended that anyone is taking this 'plan' seriously. Mars One is an attempt to get a reality TV show deal - they do not have the money, resources, money, know-how, money, willingness, or money to launch anyone towards Mars.

Credit where credit's due, that's Hitch's line.

No one has a right to have a job.

He's alleging a violation of Title VII, a federal law, so Michigan laws are moot. Most lower federal courts accept that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is covered by Title VII as being a form of gender discrimination (though I agree that Title VII should be amended to make that more clear). What's…

The greatest fact about Leland Melvin: he started out life as a football player, but after being injured he had to find another career.

The closest analogy would be income tax. The Court ruled that a federal unapportioned (i.e. not divided equally among the states) income tax was unconstitutional in the 1890s, but then the 16th Amendment was passed, overruling that decision. But if the Court said some form of discrimination was outlawed by the 14th…

In fairness, we go through this awkward phase too but ours is in college.

Smart girl.

There's still time!

If you think that the recent fall in oil prices is a convenient accident then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.
