Put a Tiger in Your Think Tank<– Link

ExxonMobil has pumped more than $8 million into more than 40 think tanks; media outlets; and consumer, religious, and even civil rights groups that preach skepticism about the oncoming climate catastrophe. Herewith, a representative overview.

There’s a fascinating, damning chart…[Read more]

I was just a kid but in addition to watching the movie, I read both “I Am Third” and “A Short Season.”

The movie also introduced me to the great Michel Legrand. More than a master of composing sentimental themes, he was a great and versatile musician and occasionally even an actor.

Actually, for true justice, I think Biden should nominate Tara Reade.

That’s what made his offer of a reward for information regarding the death of Seth Rich so extraordinary.

What you’re proposing is called “court packing.” It might be interesting to check your history to see how that worked out when FDR tried a similar maneuver.

People who hang on every word from the Gray Lady get a totally different spin.

The supreme court’s wise ruling prevented the state’s voting from devolving into utter chaos after the Green Party irresponsibly waited until the last minute to try to force its way onto the ballot.

Why is it that I see the potential for Ginsburg’s death to be as historically consequential as the death of German Chancellor Paul von Hindenburg in the summer of 1934?

So much time had been spent discrediting even the word “conspiracy” (despite the fact that it’s a bona fide legal term) that it was necessary to choose another word in order to avoid the blowback from their own propaganda.

There’s a scene in Tara Westover’s memoir Educated that’s meant to shock and to show just how isolated she was.

After spending most of her life homeschooled in a highly restrictive, ultra religious environment, she finally “escapes” when she’s accepted at Brigham Young University. During a history class when a slide is flashed up on the screen at…[Read more]

I own the DVDs and have watched them numerous times. I also own the companion book, which goes into more detail.

My favorite episode is Chapter 2, “Roosevelt, Truman, and Wallace,” which tells the tragic story of a gigantic “what if…” in our country’s history.

Henry Wallace fans who like to read may enjoy, American Dreamer, a biography of…[Read more]

I agree, @coldmountaintrail

Rather than working as Carl Bernstein’s partner, Woodward was more likely his monitor.

As for delaying this explosive information, to paraphrase Les Moonves, “It may be bad for America, but it’s great for Bob Woodward.”

Why don’t you just come right out and call Fox viewers “deplorables”?

Nothing like hearing one brainwashed group blast the other brainwashed group.

Bernie makes my skin crawl. Besides, he’s a liar. Any idiot can tell that from his body language.*

It may be cruel, but it is effective.

I remember when Simplex was the state-of-the-art “affordable” derailleur. (Unfortunately, the lightweight plastic parts tended to dissolve over time.) Of course, we all aspired to Campagnolo.
