    Global warming not slowing - it's speeding up

    As has been pointed out again and again, global warming causes cooling. If you don't understand that, you should bone up on the science as soon as possible.

    That people of your group know so little about it is a chief reason why it goes on.

    A glimpse of what today's conservative really is

    Laura Ingraham’s ISIS conspiracy: Immigrant children are the real threat to America! It was with much sadness and disbelief that the right wing greeted the news the other day that the so-called wave of criminal children surging over America’s border to destroy everything that’s good and decent...

    They also have a lot more experience with dragging them behind pickup trucks.

    Cowards!

    Or more. As to a discussion of welfare, I'll leave that for another time, another place. It's become such an emotion-charged issue that few people can discuss it rationally. Let's just say it's become something other than what was intended. If high schools hadn't eliminated their auto and wood...

    ISIS and beheadings...

    At the time, I was happy to see the draft go, but be careful what you wish for. I often wonder what we've lost by not forcing young men into service, particularly the poor. They learned to read, they learned skills, they learned at least some discipline and something about responsibility. And...

    Cowards!

    I assume that was $75 a month. My point is that $80 a week goes a long way when gas is 25 cents a gallon and a McD's hamburger is 15 cents. The discussions of minimum wage become completely detached from reality since so few of those -- if any -- who participate in the discussions have ever...

    Cowards!

    And how much was your rent? How much did you have to pay for food?

    ISIS and beheadings...

    It is now. But 40 years ago, anyone with sons had personal knowledge of what military life was like. They also often knew, sadly, personal loss. Or at least they knew someone -- friend, relative -- who had someone in service. And the fact that the Viet Nam War was the first to be televised had...

    ISIS and beheadings...

    Particularly since fewer than 80 have been in the service (and most likely fewer than that have seen combat, and even fewer, if any, have been officers and so have no experience in planning a military campaign). They are therefore uniquely unqualified to offer any substantive advice at all. And...

    This way, whichever he does will be wrong. Then it will be all his fault. Of course.

    NRA Hijinks

    Why would a gun owner not want to talk to their child's doctor about gun safety? One year ago I wrote an article about how Florida's state legislature had passed a law prohibiting doctors from discussing gun safety at pediatric visits. The law drew immediate and strong objection from all the...

    ISIS and beheadings...

    If the Iraqi armed forces are in fact incapable of fighting successfully against ISIS after years of training and resources given them by the United States, there is in fact little we will be able to do to change things in Iraq (Obama has already ruled out “boots on the ground,” and it’s...

    ISIS and beheadings...

    More than a dozen years after the horrors of 9/11, we find ourselves in a Groundhog Day-style nightmare. We wake up yet again to find ourselves terrified of a radical Islamist group that shows no compunction about barbarically killing American civilians and gets off on issuing apocalyptic...

    Obama The Real Victim in ISIL Crisis

    While not returning to Washington after the Foley execution was monumentally stupid on Obama's part, do you happen to know if there's anyone in Congress who is a student of warfare in the way Patton was?
