I shall edit your sentence as E.B White might, were he with us. In order [T]o be a great tennis player one must not only be a great athlete [,]but one must [also] have uncommon desire. This may be expressed succinctly as: A great tennis player must be a great athlete and have uncommon...

I admit I'm no expert when it comes to "Dems" as you call them, but from what I have observed of them, they seem to be pretty good judges of what we call "that special Republican intellect." In the Deep South we have our own way of expressing it, as in, "He didn't realize he was the President...

As in something imagined.... :D And, as my German teacher used to say, auf Deutsch natürlich, after clicking her heels and saluting der Führer, "Was noch!." Then she would push me against the nearest wall and shoot me when I failed to give a complete answer. Try "2," below past of will1...

Did you mean, "It would be fricken ridiculous..." No unbiased observer would conclude those who support Trump have a lock on stupidity... I do see now, however, particularly after Buy1Sell2's post above, why it would be tempting to draw that conclusion

Quite unlikely now, I would hope. When a President, or any leader, loses the confidence of those around them, their subordinates lose their fear of speaking up. This goes to our most basic instincts. We recognize weakness in our own species and go for the kill. Because it is instinctual, it...

Doesn't say much for his base. I don't blame his base. That would be like blaming a retarded person for a bad decision. Bannon wants to kick out young, productive, educated adults who have never known any other country but the U.S. He, like trump, is a horrible person. Yes, the human race...

I am certain you will not be able to penetrate these two papers I am going to call your attention to. Let me say that I don't have a position on global warming, I accept the scientific consensus whatever that may be at the time, with regard to the amount of warming and its distribution. What I...

So a good scientist will ask what was the sea level change like from say 1740 to 1880?

Those that are putting the issue of whether man is significantly affecting climate into a political framework are not doing any of us a favor. This is not a political right left issue. For example, we know that man does affect local temperature. There is no question about that. Cities are...

I'll change my opinion depending on the information I have. I can't change the science of course, that's decided by mother nature, which is a just another name for the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry. You have acquired misinformation. Why not read more. There is much new...

Yes, actually, as a real scientist ,I guess I am. But of course I pay attention to the literature in my field, and if the science is good, there is an absence of bias. That's one of the characteristics that separates science, from other human endeavors like social studies. Good science must...

This is too far afield for you to grasp, but I'll try anyway. You generally won't find a scientific publication in what we call the primary literature taking such a simple stand as "denying man made global warming." That is not how science and scientists work. Instead you will find...

It is possible man is affecting climate, but it is clearly not via our CO2 emission. Nevertheless, for other reasons, we should explore alternative sources of energy.

You continue to misunderstand. Even if you accept and affirm that man is affecting climate -- and that is still very much undecided as long the word "significantly" is inserted before "affecting", you have contributed nothing to our understanding of the science. As I have said, though it...

Your statement above is not a lie, you really do believe it, but it has clearly a ridiculous statement. You fail to understand that we still do not understand what is causing global warming. It is definitely not a rise in CO2. That is firmly established by now. Sadly for all of us, until we...

Have you considered that the Clinton impeachment, that grew out of an investigation into Whitewater but ended as a perjury charge for lying about a not illegal affair between two consenting adults, is perhaps not comparable to the Mueller investigation into foreign interference in a recent U.S...

Why would the Russian Hack Factory, which has taken under its wing the Murdoch media interests, be other than alive and well? It wouldn't! The proof of its effectiveness and recent activity is our own dear Poindexter who is doing her darndest to become Boingdexter...

It is definitely going to make the rounds on talk radio, Fox and MSNBC. Could be great entertainment for a night or two. My hero is Stormy. I'd like to bring out a wine label with a nude of the younger Stormy on the label. I wonder if there are any vineyard owners out there that will back...

Your not alone in believing this. Democrats were in the forefront of preventing banks from redlining. They did not want loans denied on the basis of zip code. No one in Congress from either party, however, ever advocated for "no-income verification loans". Some on the left did try to push...

Maybe they'll annihilate each other?
