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 ...
Writing for World Nut Daily, Ted Nugent thinks his compromise is "mighty presidential." My recommended Grand Compromise is this: Yours truly, the humble MotorCity Madman, NRA Board of Directors member, leading gun-rights spokesman and prospective presidential candidate in 2016, will support and champion closing the so-called gun-show loophole if the anti-gun left wing will support closing the federal voting loophole. Left-wing anti-gun adherents believe ...
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Thursday strongly defended the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, telling attendees of the group's policy summit that they can't let criticism get them down. "I first came to ALEC over a decade ago. When I was serving in the Bush administration, I'd been privileged to work with ALEC in the federal government," Cruz said. "I've been privileged ...
If you're gay, its looking more and more like the Republican Party is not for you. Just imagine the outrage if a Democrat did something like this. Virginia Congressman Randy Forbes is back in the news. We last wrote about Forbes in October when he was set to fundraise for an anti-gay hate group, the American Family Association (AFA). Now he's pushing to deny ...
I've posted before about the opening of new sea transport routes. All the while, Whackos are denying global warming exists. Some are looking to profit and beat the competition. Do they really think we are that stupid? Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) on Thursday encouraged people to look on the bright side of global warming. At the 64rd annual Maine Transportation Conference, the governor ...
This is great news! Now I wonder how long it will be until homophobic wingnuts here in the states, start angrily yelling about how Israel will "incur the wrath of God" for tolerating homosexuality? Israeli President Shimon Peres on Sunday publicly backed marriage rights for same-sex couples. "Even a person who is a homosexual is a human being, and he has rights," he told ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
More power to them. Anyone working full time should not also need welfare in order to survive. Workers walked off their jobs at fast-food restaurants across the country as part of a national protest against low wages, a day after President Barack Obama renewed his call for a minimum wage hike in a speech Wednesday. The action is part of a growing movement against ...
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, ...
The single-child yuppo-family that uses the child as a status object: 'A perfect child? Of course! We have one here -- he's under the coffee table. Ralph, stand up! Play the violin!'
