The still-emerging drought in California and the American west may become the biggest climate story of the decade. I interviewed a number of scientists, in California, and across the country, on how climate change can effect drought, and atmospheric cycles in general.
It's been well-documented that the GOP is in the middle of an aggressive rebranding campaign intended to woo African-American voters, and in the midst of this, yet another Republican congressional candidate has provoked cries of racial insensitivity. In a post on his Facebook page that was--in theory, anyway--about federal spending, Jim Brown, who's running in Arizona's 2nd Congressional District, compared modern-day "entitlements" to ...
More: Thanks, Anti-Vaxxers. You Just Brought Back Measles in NYC. Measles was considered eliminated at the turn of the millennium. Now it's back, thanks to the loons to refuse to vaccinate their children.Of all the things to be nostalgic for, infectious diseases probably don't make it onto many lists. However, if you happen to pine for the good old days when measles was an ...
For months, National Review's staff has worked to invent bogus justifications for anti-gay business discrimination, condemning non-discrimination efforts as a form of government overreach. Long before states like Kansas and Arizona sought to pass laws allowing business to refuse service to gay an d lesbian customers, National Review was championing business owners who had been sued for engaging in anti-gay discrimination. In August, ...
Residents in a Virginia town are upset about a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) flier that has been appearing in their mailboxes and on their yards this week. The flier contains a number for a hotline, an email address and information about two websites where residents could learn that the KKK is a non-violent, non-hate group that is not the "enem[y] of the colored ...
What our problems weren't "caused" by the gays or abortion? Right Wing Watch points out that Fundamentalist "Christian Historian" John Benefiel insists our problems all started when ancient Egyptians came here and dedicated this land to Baal. So we are to believe that God is punishing us because someone came here in the past and dedicated this land to a false god? So ...
Gay blogger Joe.My.God. reported that in a post called "Breeders: How Gay Men Destroyed the Left," Lopez envisioned a dystopian future where women are nothing more than prisoners to an elite overclass of gay men. "Gay men are men," he wrote, and such, they eschew the company of women. "Gestational surrogacy is a dream come true for woman-hating chauvinists who are bound to ...
When Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vetoed the "right to discriminate" bill SB 1062, she claimed that the measure was a solution in search of a problem. Further, Brewer added, the bill was "broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences." What the governor conveniently omitted is that members of her own staff worked with the bill's sponsors on that language, in ...
There are 77 countries that criminalize homophobia, according to the United Nations; seven of those implement the death penalty. Russia has recently been in the spotlight for its anti-gay laws, and Uganda's anti-gay bill has been widely covered, as has the fact that American evangelical activism was an influence in the decision to harshly punish gay Ugandans. A proposed anti-gay law in Arizona ...
video at link After watching Aasif Mandvi's segment on Thursday's "Daily Show," two things are clear: 1) America has the greatest healthcare system in the world (if 37th place is considered the greatest), and 2) some people shouldn't do interviews with "Daily Show" correspondents. Case in point, "Fox Business" commentator and NYSE Euronext Managing Director Todd Wilemon has a couple of jaw-dropping moments in ...
Police officer and political novice Dave Feliciano, who is contesting the Republican primary to unseat Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), said on the steps of the South Carolina state House Thursday that Graham is "ambiguously gay." The State reports that Feliciano made the comment as he participated in a news conference announcing that four of Graham's challengers will support whomever ends up in a ...
"Guess what, Ireland?" jibes a video released by the US Embassy in Dublin. " It was Americans who first started turning things green." Green rivers, green beer, "even wearing green". It's one of five ways Americans invented St Patrick's Day, apparently. If the video is anything to go by, they also gave us parades, marching bands, and corned beef. The claims will surprise ...
"If a plane breaks up at altitude, the parts float down, so you find wings and rudders and horizontal stabilizers falling flat," Marks said. "If there was an explosion, you can find burn damage." A loss of pressurization could put the crew and passenger to sleep, as happened with golfer Payne Stewart's Learjet, which crashed in October 1999 in South Dakota after the ...
Bachmann recently "retired" from Congress, but in reality she quit because the criminal investigations were closing in on her. This is the first time Marcus Bachmann has been named in reports as part of an investigation. The shenanigans of her failed presidential campaign are what the Department of Justice is looking into, and they are also the subject of investigations in Iowa, an ...
For many years the hallmark of a well maintained home was the golf course green trimming of the yard and paved walkways surrounded by meticulously trimmed bushes in geometric patterns. Flowers and plants were selected based on carefully conceived color coordination with garden furniture and it seemed that the goal was to make the lawn look as artificial as possible. This look was ...
I am unimpressed by his neutrality. IMHO he needs to step up and speak for the independence and strength of the oversight panel. The agency must be seen and be forced to act under, not apart from that authority. I'm no fan of Dianne Feinstein, but I'd like to see Obama watch her back for the sake of checks and balances. I must admit ...
The U.S. and Germany stepped up pressure on Russia to back down from plans to annex Crimea from Ukraine after the region holds a referendum in three days, warning that they will exact an economic toll if Russia doesn't. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said today Russia is risking "massive" political and economic damage. U.S. President Barack Obama appealed to Russian leader Vladimir Putin ...

The College of Charleston, a publicly-funded university in South Carolina and one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the US, has seen its budget cut by the state legislature in retaliation for selecting a gay person's memoir for a freshman lit course: insidehighered.com Cory Doctorow (of Boing Boing fame) suggests giving to the College, in support of its "The College Reads!" program, ...
