Some conservatives have started laying into the Oscar-winning movie 12 Years a Slave for creating an unfairly negative portrayal of slavery. You see, the movie portrays slaves being made unhappy by slavery. But that negativity is merely anti-slavery "propaganda," according to James Bowman in conservative magazine The American Spectator: If ever in slavery's 250-year history in North America there were a kind master ...

Last week Republican Puerto Rican Senator Roberto Arango became embroiled in a public scandal when images of a shirtless man who appeared to be him were leaked to the press. The images were from the gay dating phone app Grindr, which was a tad curious considering Arango's public image was that of a divorced heterosexual man who was raising a daughter. The Senator ...
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Sunday that the situation in Ukraine should be an impetus to ramp up oil and gas drilling in the United States and clear the path for exports. "I would immediately get every obstacle out of the way for our export of oil and gas," said Paul in an appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "And I would begin drilling ...
The more that scientists stare at it, the more a strange signal from the center of the Milky Way galaxy appears to be the result of dark matter annihilation. If confirmed, it would be the first direct evidence for dark matter ever seen. Dark matter is a mysterious, invisible substance making up roughly 85 percent of all matter in the universe. It floats ...

The ticket numbers are contiguous, which indicates the tickets were issued together. The new ...
EUREKA, Calif. - It did not look particularly like a history-making day in the Redwoods. The jars of condoms and the pinned-up primer on the HPV vaccine at the Six Rivers Planned Parenthood were undisturbed, and the waiting room was no more taxed than any other Saturday. The usual lone protester, loosely referred to as "the pastor," had come early, before the clinic ...
I applaud Randa Jarrar. I applaud her for fighting to save the "purity of idea" of her culture. However, I find her admonishment of white belly dancers troubling, for several reasons. In a new Salon article, the Author claims: Whether they know it or not, white women who practice belly dance are engaging in appropriation The essence of her disapproval is : Arab ...

Police from the city, university and state troopers in riot gear converged on a crowd of about 4,000 people at an apartment ...
Alas, our next generation of conservative leaders are not chanting, "Amer-i-ca! Amer-i-ca!" They are, instead, chanting, "F**k O-bama! F**k O-bama!" And I hang my head. So, now, children at the hotel, parents, staff, tourists - both foreign and domestic - and every other conceivable variety of guest who happens to be staying at the Gaylord National hotel during CPAC 2014 has a skewed, ...
The Con­fer­ence Board of Canada has is­sued a re­port ti­tled Re­form­ing Dairy Sup­ply Man­age­ment: The Case for Growth, which pretty much con­demns Canada's sys­tem of sup­ply man­age­ment of dairy prod­ucts. Au­thors, Michael Grant, Richard Barichello, Mark Liew, and Vi­jay Gill, say their re­port "makes the case for growth and sug­gests an eq­ui­table way to wind down sup­ply man­age­ment of dairy prod­ucts. ..."

I'm one of the people the Obama administration ...
This is incredibly sad. The poor baby did nothing to deserve this. I hope they actually do find a cure and find it soon. The sooner they're able to cure her, the greater the chance that they'll save her life. A second baby born with the AIDS virus may have had her infection put into remission and possibly cured by very early treatment -- ...
