Ah, liturgical humor...giving math humor a run for its money in terms of obscurity. :D

May be our first Democratic senator since they were in Klan robes.. (Well, no. we had Heflin in the eighties. It's always fun to make the Demos remember they were the rednecks and Kluckers once, though.)

If you can't tell the difference between what a politician says for an audience and what a politician actually believes, you're in the wrong friggin' movement, buddy. Hitler probably believed in some bizaare corruption of Norse paganism. Tolkien hated him for it.

I don't believe in most journalism about science, because most science news reportage is utter crap. I try to get my science news from actual scientist, through websites like...

I wish this was goodbye, but we'll be paying for a generous pension and a SS detachment for years to come. Plus, he'll keep popping up to make speeches and lecture Americans for being naughty cavemen who don't see the light yet.

I'm interested in reading books about how user-driven websites like Youtube, and consumer-connecting apps like those used by Uber, are leading to human flourishing and increased prosperity/quality of life...especially when this growth happens in spite of the state, which may attempt to repress...
