Bad link is fixed now, sorry.

The Southern San Andreas
Is it about to blow?
While it would be pretty devastating, because of the distance, it wouldn’t affect LA as much. The one I worry about is a smaller one, like a 7 on the Newport-Inglewood, just a few miles from the house. That was the one that did a lot of damage in Long Beach in the thirties.

Female Reporters Covering Trump
I’d have a mite more sympathy for them if I didn’t remember how many of these people thought this was perfectly fine way to treat Sarah Palin eight years ago. I would never use those kinds of words to describe Hillary, but I’m perfectly comfortable describing the former Secretary of State as a corrupt incompetent serial felon and liar.
The Crisis In Space Science
