Charles Darwin, who was born 200 years ago next month, has spent the 150 years since he published The Origin of Species fighting for the idea of common descent. Though physically dead, he is still doing battle for the notion that chimps are your cousins and cauliflowers your kin. It is a sufficiently weird concept to keep D (Read More)

You know, I never thought Iโd cling so much to a phone as much as I cling to the iPhone. When the iPhone was updated to version 2.0, I knew that it was going to make things worse. While many still believe the iPhone to be over hyped and not worth the time, money, and support, I firmly believe it has changed the smart phon (Read More)

Funny I have just heard the official spokesperson of the Denver airport on CNN who (Read More)

The crisis we are facing today arises from the fact that there is almost no more social, cultural, natural, and spiritual capital left to convert into money. Centuries, millennia of near-continuous money creation has left us so destitute that we have nothing left to sell. Our forests are damaged beyond repair, our soil depl (Read More)

It's not often that I find myself on the same side as right-wing Republican politicians. But for the past two weeks I've been cheering the neocon nutcases as they tried to prevent the big motor manufacturers from receiving government money for their failed business model. The Democrats, by contrast, thought the handout was (Read More)
: As both a business owner and as an "average Joe", the auto-bailout defies belief. The last act of the worst administration in US history, tax-payers money after bad. As the airlines went into bankruptcy, why shouldn't the auto-companies? I'd suggest losing airlines would be more catastrophic than losing thousands of gas-guzzling SUVs.
As a business owner, am I to expect a bailout now? You know George, my small business could really use a cash injection, and I don't even have a jobs bank in place!
What really defies belief is the fact that the auto-companies have spent literally millions of dollars fighting state and federal initiatives to reduce emissions, to go greener, to increase mpg. They've fought common sense all the way, using money they say they no longer have, and in turn have pocketed billions in profit from damned-ugly hulking vehicles nobody really wants these days. A downright and absolute failure to innovate, to build what the customer wants - that's simply bad business. I want my share of the bailout back please, as a taxpayer, to spend on my own business.

One of the interesting debates that surrounded today’s story about the BNP was what to do with the data once it got out. So far it’s pretty clear that the names and addresses of members of the BNP are way out of bounds in a legal sense. The political party, whether you agree with its far-right, largely racist po (Read More)
