Apparently it’s a bad thing for men to take pleasure in pleasuring women.
[Screaming orgasm]
“Was that good for you?”
“Stop oppressing me, you brutal tool of the patriarchy!”
The Team Obama Leakers
They should. This was a crime, and if there are no consequences, it will continue. But they got away with so much other criminality over the past eight years they just figured they were immune.
The Benefits Of Sperm
I don’t care how many there are, still nope. Also not going to cook with it. But it might be useful news for women (and some men).
Fine, Investigate Trump
…but also investigate Obama:
Whether Barack Obama ordered the surveillance of Donald Trump during the transition is not the question. He would never have had to. In fact, he would have been highly unlikely to have done so for obvious legal and practical/political reasons. Instead, supporters of the then president in a position to authorize or activate such surveillance would normally know or assume his wishes anyway without having to be told and could act accordingly.
That is the way of the world since there was a world.
Yup. I noted the same thing in the IRS situation (though it wouldn’t surprise me at all if there were exchanges between the White House and Lerner that we’ve never seen because they destroyed the emails).
No, Weather Is Not Climate
The latest nuttiness, thoroughly debunked.
Persecuting The Heretics
It’s crazy that a bill like this should even be necessary:
Lockman, however, wants to protect all people with opinions on global warming and prevent a Republican attorney general from conducting a similar investigation.
“I don’t want to see a Republican state attorney general issuing subpoenas for the records of progressive or liberal think tanks or public policy groups to chill their free speech,” Lockman told AP.
“It’s about Citizens United and the government abridging speech,” Lockman said. “It’s not about climate science. It’s about climate policy.”
Maine Democrats and environmentalists oppose Lockman’s bill, so it doesn’t have much hope of passing. Some environmentalists apparently want state prosecutors to be able to investigate “climate deniers.”
“Clearly an attempt to provide cover for climate deniers,” Dylan Voorhees, with the Natural Resources Council of Maine, told AP. “I see a trickle down from the Trump administration that has emboldened some folks to make climate denial statements.”
Calling skeptics “deniers” is slanderous, unscientific, and trivializes the Holocaust.
Our Future Life In Space
…may happen sooner than we think.
Masten News
They’ve developed an interesting new propellant. Ultimately, I think that LOX/LH2 will rule space for chemical propulsion because of the ubiquity of water, but this looks like it will have a lot of interesting applications.
Health Care And Life Expectancy
Why the argument for single payer is economically ignorant. Health-care expenditures are only one factor among many that affect life expectancy.
Living In Space
Things you’re not allowed to do.

a) I find it difficult to believe that no one in the past several decades, especially with women in the mix since the early 80s, has not joined the 150-mile club. They even flew a married couple in the early 90s. Shuttle had very sensitive accelerometers, and I imagine ISS does too. Mission control knows what’s going on.
b) I also find it difficult to believe that anyplace with engineers and scientists and sugar doesn’t have hooch in short order. The free fall might make the fermentation an interesting process, but I’ll bet it’s been happening.
These are things that are against the rules, but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen.
