Interesting insight. Even if true, it may not matter. "Perception is reality." Seems to me McCarthyism was a witch hunt. I checked the definition in both AHD & Websters. The word "communist" does not appear in either definition. BUT ! Wasn't the interrogation: "Are you now, or have you ever...

Do they? Some pres. do sometimes. Why do they get away with it? Not one simple answer. Iran's a useful example. There are many critics of Trump's bull-in-the-china-shop approach to Iran. BUT !! One detail agreed upon by many Trump supporters and critics alike: Iran was a prolific destructive...

Alright. We could treat that as complete. But is there an important message being missed here? Does Israel claim their current territory as their ancestral home? <<<<<< >>>>>> Not for me to say, but I can't dismiss the notion that 21st century Israelis might benefit from honoring their...

Three times ! Majority Leader McConnell [R-KY] is headed for the exit. Gotta replace him. This guy's running. "We don't need a country that is built on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We need a country that is built on merit, excellence, intelligence, and integrity." Cameron [R-KY] on...

"snatched" :) Thanks for the delicate wording this Sunday mourning S2. Nailed it, again.

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus, I know the scientific names of beings animalculous; In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General. Gilbert & Sullivan The Pirates of Penzance (1879) act 1

Bette, Perhaps we've misunderestimated you. note: For those that don't recall, former President GWB had an unusual gift for expanding our lexicon. dis·sem·ble (dĭ-sĕmbəl) v.tr. To disguise or conceal behind a false appearance. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth...

And nearly drowned?

If the Democrats were competent they could mop the floor with the GOP this November. If only.

That's a problem. BUT Director Patel's private life and his public competence should be separate issues. By and large diversity is our strength. Perhaps there is some benefit to having at least one drunkard in Trump's inner circle.

How thoughtful of the orange Donald to make the effort to clarify this fine point of law. What a guy ! Indeed. BUT ! the caption says "immigration agents". That's federal, right? note: Psychologist Joy Browne says those that marry for money earn it. Poor rich Melania.

Attempting to maintain an objective outlook can be challenging, particularly during a Trump administration. It's not difficult to find news reports from the spectrum of outlets, that criticize Trump about his Iran War mess. BUT ! When questioned directly, even on PBS (not generally regarded as...

Yes, but: it hadn't occurred to me until I read your #1,267. In audio reproduction, it's the base notes, the low frequencies that require the most power. I'm not sure, but I suspect the progression from 1 kHz down, the increase in power is exponential. I'm guessing. I hope they awarded you the...

I don't think decorum should be abandoned in U.S. government schools. If Susie wants to wear trousers I don't have a problem with it. But if the drag queen's costume is so disruptive it interferes with the primary mission of the educational institution, I think reasonable dress code should be...

Can a president pardon himself? And if he wins in court, and then Trump pardons the convicts, then what?

HHS Secretary RFKj is a jelly doughnut. It runs in the family.

Fine. I haven't studied it, but in some of the literature I've encountered I've seen terms like "spin" etc. My flagrantly ignorant opinion is it's been named this by humans anchored in Newtonian physics, attempting to explain quantum phenomena in Newtonian terms. Maybe they're right. Maybe not...

I understand there are 3 separate laws of physics: - Newtonian, including his 3 laws of motion - Relativity, general & special, & - Quantum and each of these not precisely like any of the others. O M G indeed I don't understand how a quantum particle could convey that much energy. By...

IBM founder Thomas John Watson (1874-1956) predicted only a few (~5?) computers would ever be needed. * Semiconductors can't handle it, but astronauts can. That's why they use high amperage astronauts. [/kiddin'] I gather as our micro-electronics gain progressively more circuit density, the...

oh I had a co-worker that raved about his (I think it was an) Amiga. iirc he said it had two different OS options (I suppose that's called "dual-boot" now). Not sure. Somewhere along the line I found a report that the computer on the Apollo 11 LEM was manufactured manually, slender metal wires...
