Wrong

Yesterday, Hillary Clinton was quoted citing an AP article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me." (To be clear, that's Clinton's quote, her categorization of the AP article.) Now, I'm not particularly interested in discussing the veracity of the argument that white, working class voters' preference for Clinton makes her a stronger candidate—t read

McCain's Military Records Released

The AP, using the Freedom of Information act, obtained John McCain's military record. No surprise--he's a hero many times over with a total of 17 citations including all the big ones. McCain was awarded a Silver Star Medal for resisting "extreme mental and physical cruelties" inflicted upon him by his captors from late October to early December 1967, the early months of his captivity, according to the citation. The North Vietnamese, according to the Navy, ignored international agreements and tor read

Papers shed light on Cherokees relocation, boost genealogy

By Pam Sohn Chattanooga, Tennessee (AP) Jamie Russell reverently runs his finger down page after photocopied page, looking at names, seeking special ones. He can’t stop smiling. Like everyone who looks at the words from the long-forgotten and nearly 200-year-old papers – documents that show how Cherokee Indians lived while stockaded in Chattanooga just before the infamous Trail of Tears – he understands the value these pages hold for finding family and local history.

Islam: Civilization Clash in Shakespeare's Time - Part One

This article by Adrian Morgan (Giraldus Cambrensis of Western Resistance) appeared today in Family Security Matters and is reproduced with their permission. The Clash of Civilizations In the Time of Shakespeare: Part One Anyone with only a passing interest in Islamic affairs will be aware of the term "Caliphate". The last Caliphate, that of the Ottomans, was officially abolished on March 3, 1924, on the orders of the secular government of Turkey. Islamists glamorize the Caliphate as something read

The ABC's of Wine

Tuesday, April 29th 2008 It was the middle of April, and I was late for my tasting appointment at Au Bon Climat (ABC) and QUPE. The winery is well off the beaten path, and as its bucolic setting eases one's stress, its rural roads work in opposition to that soothing effect. The road construction, slow farm equipment, and nearly invisible road signs combine to assure you can't make up lost time. About fifteen minutes after leaving Hwy 101 the thought "I must have missed a turn" persists for s read

Les monologues du vagin

Ity manaraka ity dia tsy natao ho an’ny olona manana fahasahiranana amin’ny teny gasy sy amin’ny teny milaza ny «mamoha fady ». Natao "déclamation" nandritra ny "soirée littéraire" kely, ka dika malalaky ny ampahany fohy amin'ilay tantara an-dampihazo nosoratan'i Eve Ensler. Sangan'asa izay heverina ho andry hijoroan’ny tolon’ny vehivavy eran-tany : « Les monologues du vagin », nadikako tsotsotra hoe ....« Ireo tanisan’ny fory » (fivaviana, c'est bof loatra). Hazavaiko kely fotsiny ho an'izay t read

Tabataba

Tiako ho tsapaina ny halalin’ny hatezerany kanefa…atahorako ny hifanehetra tampoka amin’ izay tsy natao ho zakan’ny aiko. Na izy, na izaho, samy mahafantatra fa betsaka ny tsy ho voatanisa. Satria tsy ho hainy ny hilaza amiko. Na tsy ho haiko ny hihaino azy. Na koa samy tsy mbola vonona ( foana ?), na izy na izaho, ny hiverin-dalana vetivety. Satria mbola miboiboika ny hatezerany izay sady …tiako ho tsapaina kanefa tena atahorako. Hatezerana izay angamba efa hatezerako ihany koa, indraindray. T read

El genoma del ornitorrinco

Los antepasados de los mamíferos ponían huevos; los primeros mamíferos ponían huevos, y algunos mamíferos de hoy siguen poniendo huevos. Es el caso de los monotremas, es decir, los equidnas y el peculiar ornitorrinco. El genoma de este último ha sido secuenciado de forma preliminar por un extenso equipo internacional de científicos. Una hembra llamada Glennie aportó su material genético para el estudio. Ayer, la revista Nature publicaba la primera investigación* sobre la secuencia obtenida, read

It’s About Time - Scientists Map The Genetic Makeup Of The Platypus

Whew! I thought they’d never get around to this. I was worried: SYDNEY, Australia - Scientists said they have mapped the genetic makeup of the platypus — one of nature’s strangest animals with a bill like a duck’s, a mammal’s fur and snake-like venom. Read the whole article. It’s kind of interesting, actually. An odd creature, really. And you thought they’d never get around to it either, didn’t you? Now, (speaking of odd creatures) if they could just figure out what makes a far left libe read

Aww, Puggles!

“Arguably the oddest beast in Nature’s menagerie, the platypus looks as if were assembled from spare parts left over after the animal kingdom was otherwise complete. Now scientists know why. According to a study released Wednesday, the egg-laying critter is a genetic potpourri — part bird, part reptile and part lactating mammal. The task of laying bare the platypus genome of 2.2 billion base pairs spread across 18,500 genes has taken several years, but will do far more than satisfy the curi read
