Colbert's monologue, Brilliant! comedy.

That!, I have got to see.

I'm not sure, but I don't think this is the one where he says, "religion should be taxed." Probably the the most logical, smartest thing any one has ever said, short of, "give me liberty or give me death." I mean, we tax alcohol. Where is the logic in that? But we don't tax religion??? Where...

In the short run, it's not reality that counts, it's what people perceive as reality that matters. And "in the long run we're all dead."

Gore Vidal 1925-2012 , R.I.P.

I'll PM later. No time now. Remind me if i forget. Ive nothing to hide. Will include company names for you.

I've done it already. It's is out there in the forum ether. I'm not inclined to repeat. Its fairly long. But i will suggest that in the sciences in acdemic instituions, at least the PhD granting ones, the P.I.s are resposible for managing large accounts. Sometimes very large accounts.

If that's intended for me, you're wrong. But let's be honest. Those who at some point in their careers were academics are well represented among those most respected in these forums by the participants on all sides. I believe there is a logical reason for that.

It's extremely easy to find. See the politifact article. Interview captured perpetrators. Also you are aware of numerus demonstrations in arab world.. Look them up yourself if you're inclined, or stay silent as you prefer, but don't expect to be spoon fed. You have tried unsuccessfully to put...

I can't come close to agreeing here. Obama shows , and showed, the confidence of those successful in politics. He does not, however, show obvious evidence of a clinical psychological disorder. Trump does! When we got to the question of whether to pull out of Iraq it became a question of...

I don't recall, you can perhaps find a post of mine to remind me. My guess is that I was too reserved, if I commented on it. I certainly should have been outraged. I do hope I was, but probably not. P.S. I also think it inappropriate of you to refer to Mr. Khan "as that Khan Character."

This moderated (by an economist) dialog between Milton Friedman and Walter Heller is wonderful in hi-lighting differences and simularities between a Libertarian economist like Friedman and a more mainstream economist, Walter Heller, who would identify more closely with Keynes. (and for jem...

Of all the Hayek videos, this is by far my favorite: And here is one of the rare tapes of Keynes. His manner of speaking and accent defines the British aristocracy of his day. He preceded Hayek in death by nearly 50 years! So sadly we have less in the way of preserved films of him...

fyi. anti-intellectual-ism is rife among the Alternative Right Wing in American Politics. You should feel right at home.

Thank you so much. I personally did not find any "attack" there.

You might be correct. I personally don't see anything here other than error that was corrected. It was Pro-Publica.org rather than politifact where I found a copy of the Times blurb. I like Pro-publica. Check it out if you haven't already. Good outfit!

It's his mental disorder. It makes his situation far worse than if he was merely unsuited to handle the job, which he is of course. He is being candid and honest when he says he really thought that being President would be easy, just as he really did believe Obama was born in Kenya. He's a...

That's right. We can all agree, a huge mistake was made. I have no idea how long it actually took, not how long it should have taken, to get accurate information back. Do you know? It did come back, but sometimes information at the ground level has to filter through levels of responsibility...

as to (1), no one is sure who said what , and there are conflicting accounts if it is the meeting of the Secretary and the President and other U.S. officials with the families that is the issue. Apparently it was a grief stricken and tense meeting. She herself is just as likely to have...

Its generally not possible to have all of the facts correct in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. It happens all the time that events are initially incorrectly reported, or people jump to incorrect conclusions. It's an everyday occurrence. To make a story that rational people, i.e., those...
