Was explained very cogently yesterday by Jon Stewart, and ironically it was explained in the place where news goes to die-the Fox Noise Machine. If you haven’t seen this interview between Chris Wallace, you should. Its a tour de force take down of the people at Fox News. There are

Wake up call
Only in America. Only in the Whining States of America-can a moron like Donald Trump get time on the political stage to spout his nonsense. Imagine my shock and amazement to wake up this morning to see his comb over on the TV talking about……well I don’t know what he

Our future in space, stunted in its youth-because Americans, as a whole are pretty stupid. We went to the moon, in an aggressive fashion, and then pretty much stopped. When I think about all the money that has been wasted on all the wars between 1972 and now-we could have
