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 ...

This week, Wired.co.uk paid a visit to the subterranean farm, descending the winding steps deep into the bowels of southwest London. The space is enormous. It's made up of two seemingly ...

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 tickets were bought from China Southern Airlines in Thai baht at identical prices, according to China's official e-ticket verification system Travelsky. The ticket numbers are contiguous, which indicates the tickets were issued together. The new ...
The most obvious signal of conservative acceptance: GOProud, a group of gay and straight conservatives, was invited to the conference this year as guests after being turned down in the past. They've been welcomed. "Not a single person we met or spoke with has expressed disappointment we're here," said co-executive director Matt Bechstein. Recent developments as well as polls help explain the change. ...
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 ...
"The World's Only Reliable News," better than Russia Today and the Drudge Report combined! BOLSHAYA YELNIA - An all-female religious sect believe that Vladimir Putin is the reincarnation of St. Paul the Apostle. The religious sect of the Russian Orthodox church consists entirely of women, who meet in a small three story brick building in Bolshaya Yelnia, a small town near the Volga River. ...
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. ..."

The confirmation in December that former CIA Director Leon Panetta let classified information slip to "Zero Dark Thirty" screenwriter Mark Boal during a speech at the agency headquarters should result in a criminal espionage charge if there is any truth to Obama administration claims that it isn't enforcing the Espionage Act only against political opponents. 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 -- ...

Via TPM: When Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) made a thinly veiled reference comparing Eric Holder to George Wallace before a group of conservatives, it may not have occurred him that the attorney general's sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, was one of the segregationist's actual victims during the Jim Crow era.
