More: O'Reilly Reflects on Mandela's Life: 'Great Man, but He Was a Communist' Bill O'Reilly's first invocation of Nelson Mandela following his death Thursday night was in a segment with Rick Santorum on the future of the Republican party. But that wasn't the strangest part of it, it was when O'Reilly felt the need to declare, a number of times, that Mandela was a ...
In which we find that not only the religious right, but also Ronald Reagan, Jeff Flake, and Grover Norquist backed the apartheid rulers of South Africa. The news today of Nelson Mandela's passing is also time to reflect on the complicated relationship between Mandela and his anti-apartheid African National Congress (ANC) with the US, which did not always support the anti-apartheid struggle. In fact, ...
President Obama says the U.S. government "must lead by example" when it comes to safeguarding the environment, so he's ordering federal agencies to use more clean energy. Under a presidential memorandum out Thursday, each agency would have until 2020 to get 20 percent of its electricity from renewable supplies. "Government agencies currently get less than 10 percent of their electricity from renewable sources such ...
Embarrassed because sub-"living wage" stories often played in left leaning media outlets (including Mother Jones) to demonize companies such as MacDonalds and Walmart, the magazine had to clarify their position: That's actually not true, we've never advised interns or fellows to sign up for food stamps. It is true that the stipend level qualifies them for food stamps, as do most internships, and our ...
I always thought they couldn't get cancer. Scientists have known for more than 150 years that sharks get cancer. And yet the belief persists that the animals don't suffer from the disease. That misconception is promoted in part by those who sell shark cartilage, who claim that the substance will help cure cancer, said David Shiffman, a shark researcher and doctoral student at the ...
Cool! No doubt Glenn Greenwald will think this is aimed specifically at him. Be afraid, dudebros, be very afraid. he Naval Research Lab just launched a drone from a submerged submarine - giving a huge edge to the future of special operations. It took six years to develop and launch an all-electric, fuel cell-powered, folding-wing drone aircraft from a submerged submarine. The eXperimental Fuel ...
The vintage Super Guppy aircraft is quite a story in and of itself. NASA's Orion spacecraft is just about ready to turn up the heat. The spacecraft's heat shield arrived at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida Wednesday night aboard the agency's Super Guppy aircraft. The heat shield, the largest of its kind ever built, is to be unloaded Thursday and is scheduled ...
Here's one way we could fight pollution and climate change, that you may not have thought of. In a little corner of the Great Plains, corn growers are using proven methods to cut their carbon footprint. The tri-state corner of Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa is marked by rolling hills dotted with trees, a transition between the dry prairies and woodlands. Recently, it has ...
WASHINGTON -- If atheists want their country to be free and safe, they should encourage people to worship God, Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert argued Thursday during a House floor speech. Gohmert, who has a penchant for tweaking people who do not believe in God, was delivering a speech about the lack of attention given to Christians who are persecuted around the world. Although ...
Nelson Mandela explained Ubuntu as follows:[10]A traveller through a country would stop at a village and he didn't have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food and attend him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu, but it will have various aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not enrich themselves. The question therefore is: Are ...
More: The Vicious Babushka: IT'S PIE DAY! the Lemon Meringue Pie We have not had a Pie Day! in a while, and we also neglected to even post to this blog during Hanukkah while we were on vacation in Alabama. Anyway this Lemon Meringue Pie was made the old-fashioned way and took over an hour of back breaking hard work so try it out! ...
The Bible says so. During his recent appearance on "The Gospel Truth" with Andrew Wommack, Barton explained that Scott Peterson, who was convicted of having murdered his wife and unborn child back in 2002, should not have received the death penalty because there were no eyewitnesses to the crime. Citing Deuteronomy 17:6, which states that "on the evidence of two witnesses or of three ...
I'm happy that the board is strongly opposing this lawsuit against science and reason. The laughable lawsuit tries to further faux Creationist victimhood at the cost of taxpayer dollars, which is something fundamentalists like these never seem to tire of wasting. Will a federal court dismiss a lawsuit seeking to prevent Kansas from adopting the Next Generation Science Standards? In documents filed on December ...
For the first time in history, a country will have an openly gay man as both its prime minister and its vice prime minister. Xavier Bettel was sworn in yesterday as Luxembourg's prime minister, making the former talk show host Europe's first openly gay prime minister. (And before you leave me nasty comments, Bettel is Europe's third openly gay head of state, Iceland has ...
I am just not sure if this is a serious concern or trivial. But the more ISP's and companies like adobe that get hacked, well I am considering doing much more to keep my data, computer and net traffic private. If Wired is right, and I see no reason to doubt this point-Emails, credit card data, passwords to online banking are all at risk. ...
There are indeed things we don't talk about and it's long past time we do talk about it, share it and stop feeling it's our fault. Mental, emotional and financial abuse is widespread. It may not leave bruises, but the injuries run deep. Women from all walks of life can be subject to it. It happens to people of all races, all faiths, all ...
Posting this as a San Diegan and why I haven't bought that fish rag called the Union Tribune in years. I've literally turned down free copies of it, its that worthless a paper: Recently Papa Doug has taken time out from cheerleading for a new football stadium that will cost the local taxpayers upwards of around $300 to 500 million (the same taxpayers who ...

Driving into work this morning, I noticed like a half-dozen Tea Party license plates on SUVs and sports cars. That was an extra large number today; I only usually see one or two. I wondered what the average member of the Tea Party movement would think/feel about if they were transported back in time to the Eisenhower era. Of course I picked November 5, ...

Courtesy of Slate: Park rangers set up a tiny camera in Western Australia last May to film fresh-water crocodiles in the Margaret River. When it disappeared, they figured it had fallen into the water. They were wrong. The camera was later recovered and returned to the rangers, who then strung together the delightful footage above. A misguided young sea eagle snatched up the device ...
