You know how you can look back at people living 150 years ago and chuckle at how they thought leeches could cure colds and drills could fix headaches? Well, a hundred years from now, that's how they'll see our treatment of mental illness (assuming they can be so smug living in a nightmarish dystopia). The truth is, we're just barely figuring out why human ...
t a Wednesday question-and-answer at UCLA, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mostly stood by her earlier comparison of Russia's Vladimir Putin to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, the Washington Post reports. "I just want people to have a little historic perspective," Clinton said during the session, adding that she was merely pointing out similarity in tactics. "I'm not making a comparison certainly, but ...
All continues to not be well in the world of Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies. Another exchange has been hacked, with the perpetrators making off with 76.69 bitcoins (a little under $50,000 at current trading rates). On Tuesday, the owner of the Poloniex exchange admitted on the Bitcoin Talk forum that around "12.3 percent of the BTC on Poloniex" was stolen. Poloniex did not immediately ...
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Relief may be on the way for a weather-weary United States with the predicted warming of the central Pacific Ocean brewing this year that will likely change weather worldwide. But it won't be for the better everywhere. The warming, called an El Nino, is expected to lead to fewer Atlantic hurricanes and more rain next winter for drought-stricken California and southern ...
Obama cut aid to Pakistan, by a substantial amount: the State Department argued is aimed at improving ties with India. "Developing an enduring and collaborative relationship with an increasingly stable and prosperous Pakistan that plays a constructive role in the region will therefore continue to be a priority for the United States," the State Department said proposing USD 100 million to Pakistan under the ...
...it was Allen's personal views on same-sex marriage that emerged following a question from plaintiffs' attorney Ken Mogill, reported the Detroit Free Press. "Is it accurate that you believe the consequence of engaging in homosexual acts is a separation from God and eternal damnation?" Mogill asked the state's expert, then added, "in other words, they're going to hell." "Without repentance, yes," answered Allen. More: ...
This piece blows me away, because there used to be a time when American Jews who supported Zionism were considered un-American by the Bachmanns of yesteryear. But now they're un-American for not supporting Israel. Seems to me that by RWNJ standards, American Jews just can't win. Also included, end times gibberish for the FRC audience! Michele Bachmann: American Jews "sold out Israel" by supporting ...
Before and during World War II, hundreds of thousands of German Jews seeking safe harbor in the U.S. were unceremoniously turned away and returned to certain death in the Nazi Holocaust. "Never again," has been the popular refrain for Jews ever since. Jews had to found a well-defended state of their own to protect themselves against similar horrors. Maybe the next time it will ...
Hmm. He reminds me of someone. I just can't quite put my finger on who. Christopher Ruddy, 49, the chief executive officer and founder of conservative media company Newsmax Media, is giving a tour of his neighborhood in an Acura driven by his chauffeur, Hector. The car heads south on I-95 from West Palm Beach to Boca Raton. It's the heart of Florida's Red ...
Newsweek emerged from its hibernation this week with a blockbuster story: the real identity of the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin, who went by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Newsweek claims he is a 64-year-old, Japanese-American software engineer born Satoshi Nakamoto. On Thursday, that Satoshi Nakamoto said Newsweek got it wrong. In an exclusive two-hour interview with The Associated Press, Nakamoto, 64, denied he had anything ...
So when in late 1956 Moscow crushed the Hungarian uprising, President Eisenhower could do little about it. He concentrated on helping Hungarian refugees. Privately, his heart went out to "captive peoples" whom he wanted to rescue from foreign domination (including, by the way, the Algerians laboring under French colonialism). But he was unwilling to risk WW III over Moscow's assertion that Hungary was its ...
In the study, children sat down individually with an examiner who introduced them to the two characters, each of whom had a cup filled with an unknown quantity of items. Children were told that each character's cup would "magically" add more items to a pile of objects already sitting on a table. But children were not allowed to see the number of objects in ...
The for­mer leader of Canada's Re­form Party, Pre­ston Man­ning, re­minded me of how Con­ser­v­a­tives "con­tinue to be seen as de­fen­sive and weak on the en­vi­ron­ment," as he put it in a re­cent speech in Ot­tawa. ...

The Penguin Foundation has a global callout for knitters to make pullovers for penguins in rehab. Penguins caught in oil spills need the little jumpers to keep warm and to stop them from trying to clean the toxic oil off with their beaks. Knitter Lyn Blom is the receptionist at Phillip Island Nature Parks in Victoria and has knitted many penguin jumpers over the ...
An American drone strike killed five Afghan National Army soldiers and wounded eight more Thursday morning, according to Afghan officials. The attack took place at 3:20 a.m. in the Charkh district of Logar Province, an area of intense insurgent activity. "We believe the strike was the result of poor coordination between the people on the ground and the operators of the drone," said Din ...
"The project bears two goals - economic and political," said Amir Dajani, deputy managing director at Bayti Real Estate Investment Company, which heads the city's construction. "The city provides and will provide thousands of jobs, and in the political angle, the idea is to construct the Palestinian state through establishing this city, as well as other cities." The city is planned to spread over ...
Just observing, or sharing my opinion, that the man who jails or assassinates his political opponents, equips and bankrolls rogue states and terrorist armies, cuts off Eastern Europe's gas in a harsh winter if they don't pay unfavourable prices, killed Poland's leaders, blackmailed Belarus and annexed north Georgia - just what we know of that springs to mind - again has the world clucking ...
The burning question now is this: Does slashing a felon's half-million-dollar public pension violate the U.S. Constitution? Bruce Malkenhorst - retired administrator for the tiny city of Vernon, who pleaded guilty to misappropriating public funds in 2011, and who received pension checks totaling a rather stunning $541,000 in 2012 - says yes. On Friday, Malkenhorst opened a new front in his knock-down, drag-out war ...
She was mad as hell and wasn't going to take it any more! The man, whose name has not been released, was attacked between 5 and 6 p.m. Saturday while he and others were attempting to guide a herd of bison through an open gate into a pen at the Grumpy Buffalo Farm, said authorities. The female bison went after the man and then ...
