Record Levels of Greenhouse Gases Threaten Global Economy In a troubling new study that underscores the growing threat of global warming to the environment and international economy, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said Tuesday that heat-trapping carbon dioxide hit record levels in...

Don't be disingenuous. A three-year-old report on data from 2008-2009. And if you were as knowledgeable as you like to believe you are, you'd understand that the bureaucracy doesn't exactly move at the speed of light. Providing a tear sheet on Title 1 means bupkus. If that were all it took, the...

Workers denied protective equipment because coal ash is “safe enough to eat” A lawsuit filed last month on behalf of 77 people claims that the plaintiffs were exposed to dangerous chemicals in coal ash, which led to several illnesses and deaths. The dispute is focused on American Electric...

Pat Robertson: “Blessed are the fully armed” Pat Robertson, TV preacher and proud owner of a poorly calibrated moral compass, declared on Tuesday’s episode of “The 700 Club” that we should distribute guns to churches because “blessed are the fully armed.” “Violent attacks and even deaths on...

House Republicans slash funding that would help fight Ebola The White House recently requested $88 million to be dedicated to fighting and containing the Ebola virus. Phew! After the U.N. recently said that it would take $600 million to tackle the crisis, with health care professionals are...

You've generalized from your experiences in one county. Perhaps no one in the business school you allegedly attended explained extrapolation. Or perhaps no one told you the story of the three blind men and the elephant (this is at the heart of the minimum wage discussion). Be that as it may...

So all the generalizations you've been making about urban and suburban schools have been about one county?

Herbert Streicher would likely disagree. ;)

And Truman beat Dewey. You got anything a bit more current? and pertinent? How 'bout support for your "facts" that urban schools are as well-funded as suburban schools?

Since this represents such a hurdle, let's start from here: A witness says he was standing there watching the fight as it happened. He declined to go on camera but told WMC he thought the hitting and kicking started after a Kroger employee exchanged words with a young man in the parking lot...

You really don't understand the whole birth control thing, do you?

The social contract is the basis upon which the society is built. To say that it is a fraud is -- to put it generously -- a non sequitur. Ours stems from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, documents with which you are no doubt familiar. One could, of course, argue that these...

Puerto Rico? No, you present anecdotes as "facts". That you don't know what a "fact" is suggests that your PhD, if you have one, was not in anything particularly rigorous. Most likely a review of the literature in some easy-to-negotiate field or other. You probably met your foreign-language...

You may want to read it again, all the way to the end.

Too bad we don't have Post of the Month, but even if we did, it's not likely that nominations would be accepted from the P&R Forum. I've said much the same thing with regard to the social contract, but no one has ever pursued it, or even picked up on it. There's nothing inherently wrong with...
