Is it on its last legs?
If so, it’s long past due.

Objectifying Women
It’s not just the guys.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. My evolutionary explanation (and I think that whatever explanation there is is evolutionary, not the media, which is just reflecting viewer and reader preferences) is that women compete more on their physical attractiveness to men (men compete on power and wealth), so both men and women are acutely aware of women’s…interesting…body features (which is also why women have less of a problem being physically attracted to other women than men to men).
Why We Can’t Trust The Left On Gun Control
Simply put, Chick-fil-A.
Raaaaaacists!
In which once again, a leftist nutjob proves that it is impossible to criticize the president without being accused of racism by leftist nutjobs. And once again, they’re the only dogs who can hear the whistles.
By the way, I have a 32-inch waist. I must be black.
Rabies
The medical mystery continues.
There’s still a hell of a lot we don’t know about human physiology and disease.
Perpetuating Racism
Eight ways that black do so. Including Barack Obama.
Guns Save Lives
The science is settled:
With a single exception, every multiple-victim public shooting in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed since at least 1950 has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry their own firearms.
The Cinemark movie theater in Aurora, like others run by the chain around the country, displayed warning signs that it was illegal to carry guns into the theater.
This applied to all nonlaw enforcement personnel, including individuals with concealed handgun permits. In other words, despite more than 4% of the adult population of Colorado having concealed handgun permits, a gunman intent on killing a lot of people could be confident that law-abiding citizens there would be sitting ducks.
Isn’t it funny how no one ever shoots up a gun show?
And yet morons like Mike Bloomberg are willing to break the law in order to disarm us, while he has his own police bodyguard.

Bloomberg’s fascist suicide cult. No, I don’t think that’s too harsh a description.
Guns And The Media

One of the saddest things about the atrocity (not “tragedy” — does no one know the meaning of that word any more?) in Colorado (for me personally, of course, obviously not for the friends and families of those involved) is that it completely derailed any commemoration of what we accomplished forty-three years ago today. But while we have done a segment on The Space Show on the subject this time of year every year for the past half dozen, today was the first time that we did one a) with Margaret Jordan, one of the other authors and b) actually performed the ceremony live on air (or rather, on line). It got a good response, with several callers calling in to say that they were moved in listening to it, and were going to perform it themselves. If so, that’s great, because that’s why we wrote it. Perhaps we should have done it years ago. Anyway, here is the link, and the podcast is available now. You might also want to check out The Space Show blog.
Do People Kill People?
Or do movies kill people?

So he was reportedly working on graduate degree in neuroscience before he dropped out. I wonder if he was attempting to self diagnose?
