Is there an abnormally high incidence of leukemia in those who have made a long career of embalming I wonder?. Also I would think there might be a higher incidence among zoologists. I recall that our dogfish had been preserved with formaldehyde and kept in a tank that stunk of formaldehyde when...

Very astute comments, though, I am not so convinced PSG is a bad fit for him right now. A lot of money has been poured into Paris -Saint Germaine and they have bought/are buying a lot of first rate players. What team and league do you think would be a better for him right now, at this stage of...

I didn't know that about Paul until now. I can see it as being consistent with his own kind of off-the-wall neo-libertarian philosophy, which of course has little to do with the classical libertarian. What it does have to do with is Ayn Rand's Objectivism , which I find highly Objectionable...

So if you don't consider Trump a "conservative," what would you characterize him as, would it be a "jackass". Or perhaps you intend to imply that Trump is an exception among otherwise "civil" conservatives who don't regularly describe those they disagree with as "very bad people" and don't brag...

These words of Paul are ridiculous. I had respect for him until now. First, there is no one from either party that does not see the value and importance of maintaining lines of communication with the Russian government. Nor is there anyone that would not want better relations with Russia...

The contrast between Neymar and Mbappe is obvious, both are among the best players, but many would prefer Mbappe over Neymar because of Neymar's antics. It's gotten almost as ridiculous as Luis Suarez's ear biting.

I don't either, that's why I would rank Belgium, Japan and Croatia as equal, I am not suggesting that the ability of the players on any of these teams is anything but world class, and certainly Croatia earned their place in the Final. By anyone's standard, any of the teams that qualify for...

France did not play Brazil. I think Brazil was complacent with Belgium actually. By the time Brazil realized they were in a game it was too late to start playing. Had the game been another 30 minutes longer, Brazil would have won of course. The best teams were France and Brazil, in that...

Bernanke is right. Although narrowing of the yield curve has led every recession in the past 50 years, it has also led non-recessions in the past 50 years. If I had to put my money on you jokers or on Bernanke, I'd put it on Bernanke of course.

I think that was supposed to be "team", not "time"... But I am always in favor of the best times.

Well, I'm saying it does exist.

It would be reasonable for Putin to play his "trump" card very close to the chest so long as Mr. Trump is still useful to him, and even long after he ceases to be. Mr. Trump knows this, of course, so he is not about to become intentionally unhelpful -- '"Dear Vladimir, unfortunately some things...

If the money supply does not expand with population growth and productivity, money will inflate in value and there will be price deflation. Mild deflation in prices is tolerable, however any significant inflation of the purchasing power of money will cause real interest rates to rise on fixed...

Oh please, spare us this B.S.

Eventually I suppose it will sink in. It is taking much longer than it should. Mr. Trump's money is from Russia and Russians. Some of us have known that since at least early 2016, and some knew it since the late 1990s. Russians know every illegal money laundering event that Mr. Trump...

It is always nice when the best time wins. Congratulations to France. It was a great tournament, with lots of surprises.

True.

Mr. Trump continues vacillating. Now it is his sensitivity and understanding of women re Roe v Wade, where not many hours ago, the overturning of Roe v Wade was to be a litmus test for his new Supreme Court pick. Where it was Dear Vladimir, now it's, "I may ask that the hackers be expedited."...

You'll probably recall that the purpose of the investigation was not to tie anyone in particular to Russian tampering with the election, but to find out what happened. However that said, Mueller was given a green light to go whereever the investigation took him, including crimes discovered in...

No one with normal thought processes, and certainly no "stable genius", vacillates so quickly, so absurdly, between compliment and condemnation as Mr. Trump does. There can be no question that he is mentally ill. Does he expect people not to notice? Is he even aware of his behavior? This...
