STOCKHOLM — Of the three Nobel Prizes announced this week, the five different researchers share one common trait: They're all American. The members who cast the ballots for the winners of the prizes in medicine, physics and chemistry aren't surprised. Gunnar Oquist, the permanent secretary for...

Can Psy-Ops win the Jihad? The war on Terror? Any war? Everybody hates the killing but nobody seems to want to do anything about it especially when one side of the conflict is populated by fighters who not only don’t mind being killed are rewarded in heaven with virgins, servants and an abode...

No link to go with this. He's going to run, hell or high water. If he does, it will not be as a dem, not as a rep, only as a ind. It would mean a sure-fire win for either him (10%) or whoever runs as rep. I gotta tell you that the rep candidate would have to be pretty damn strong to keep me...

Or any other mutant with telapathic powers for that matter? The JREF prize is for anyone who can demonstrate "paranormal" abilities, but if X-Men-type mutations were real, they would most certainly be natural. So, would the X-Men be eligible for the prize? Just curious.

I have personal experience with both telepathy and precognition. In the case of telepathy I have proven it to two other people. Of course that required telling them about their thoughts and experiences that they assumed were private. When the persons realized that their thoughts are not...

From today's Washington Post (may have to register) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/11/AR2006041101888.html "On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq: Two small trailers captured by...

House backs constitutional amendment on school prayer They did this in 2004 with the amendment banning gay marriage to great success. Note that before the marriage amendment was passed, it was against Missouri law for gay people to marry and those law never were in any danger of being tossed...

I'm getting awfully tired of blind-CSS'ing websites when it comes to mac. I've gotten a solution for Safari (Knoppix Live Cd with Konqueror (sp?) as I understand Konkueror(sp?) and Safari runs on the same engine) but IE is having me stumped. And I'm getting really, really tired of not knowing if...

OK, so that's the interpretation of a leaked pentagon report from Rachel Maddo, and I recognize she could be over the edge. And to be fair, she did say that the report says we can't win the war to the degree the president wants, apparently. However, she might not be that far off in her...

Instead of moving towards a democratic state they have "elected" theocracy and terror. (emphasis mine) And whats an election without a few baby pictures? Hamas supporters, one holding a copy of the Quran and a child on his shoulders, take part in a rally celebrating the group's strong...

I don't know if this will give any comfort to those who had a hissy fit over the first Vioxx case verdict ($253 million to the plaintiff, but in reality $26 million plus interest), but for what it's worth, Merck is now 1-1. Interesting comments from attorney Mark Lanier about "dirty hands"...

Don't nominate a candidate. http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/10/25/poll.bush/index.html Seems like the Dems always run well against Bush until they nominate their next boob in line.

Hopefully not already posted. And it isn't James Randi's money. BoingBoing, along with others, is offering $1 million (originally $250,000 but others have been kicking in) to prove "that Jesus is not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster." BoingBoing's offer In case you're wonder what the...

Comming To An Atheist Near You... Is it a scratcher?

Diane Rehm had the author of this book, Pape, on the show this morning. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1400063175/wamu-20/103-0485602-0443807?dev-t=D39XLW81EN6ZFS His essential premis is that suicide bombings are not an expression of religious jihad or "they hate us because we're free"...

After the gender debacle, you have to wonder if Summers really needs to be booking any more speaking engagements. "Harvard University President Lawrence Summers has released a transcript of remarks at a September conference on American Indians that, like his now-famous later remarks on women in...

A couple of weeks ago I posted a thread about how our local Science museum had decided not to show the film "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea" because they were worried it was "too in your face" about evolution and might upset the fundies. Enough peopled voiced their displeasure at this stupid...

Laptop at work. Compaq Armada.Win XP Pro. No logon password. Yesterday, XP crashed. We have an application that can do that. Rebooted. It wants an Administrator password. There is none. Or at least nobody here knows it. Most stuff is backed up offdisc, but we want to get the machine...

I have two good PCs networked via standard networking cards, the network works just fine. My son on the other machine would like to get net access through my machine. I have a USB broadband modem. I have read some "how to" articles in various places and they say "Oh simply check the allow...

How do 'we' win this so-called war? Any ideas? Do people actually believe that when the elections take place early next year that the troops will be able to pack-up and leave Iraq? Nay, the Middle-East altogether? For the life of me, I can see no scenario whereby George Bush speaks to the...

I voted for John Kerry because he was my chimp, I would vote for chimp before I would vote for Dubya. I don't believe that Bush is the anti christ there are a majority of his policies I disagree with. Also I would say that Kerry was an old fashioned conservative Democrat, certainly not a...

Take all your votes, from President to State Initiative 241A, or whatever. Divide the number of your votes that match the election results by the total items on which you could vote (I’m going to ignore all my votes to keep judges, as they always go the same way, are many, and would...
