'STUDY': Conservatives Show ‘Insensitivity’ to

'STUDY': Conservatives Show ‘Insensitivity’ to Consequences on Moral Issues. Actually the 'study' headline would be equally accurate if it read "Liberals Believe the Ends Justify the Means".

OOPS! I accidentally changed the template

OOPS! I accidentally changed the template I use. But what the hell, this one looks decent so I'll keep it for a while.

AFTER 11-1/2 BILLION MILES: Voyager 1 is

AFTER 11-1/2 BILLION MILES: Voyager 1 is still in the solar system.

I was a member of the Voyager (then known as Mariner Jupiter-Saturn, or MJS) telecommunication team in 1973-75.

It was supposed to be a major policy address on an issue of primary importance to his political base. But when President Obama began to deliver his almost hour-long speech on climate change yesterday, the biggest voice in progressive media, MSNBC, only covered the speech for a total of 41 seconds. Obama’s favorite target for media criticism, Fox News, carried his speech for less than five minutes, while CNN aired it for less than 10 minutes. Only The Weather Channel gave Obama’s climate speech a full airing.
The mojo is gone.

YES, THE $3,000 SCHUMER-RUBIO PENALTY on hiring

YES, THE $3,000 SCHUMER-RUBIO PENALTY on hiring Americans does exist. And you can bet that employers will be quick to take advantage of it....

ADDED: Democrat Senators should try reading the bills they write before they vote on them. (Barbara Boxer, excuse me, Senator Barbara Boxer, would have to have it read to her....)

NO KIDDING.

You can say the same for the entire political class. "We, the people" are just a means to their end.
