LearningCurve's JournalSyrian Intervention Has Already Been An Unqualified Success
It's stopped all those pesky NSA stories.
Mission Accomplished!
Undercover Boss is an AWESOME show!
I'd never seen this show before, but just recently caught up on it. Absolutely incredible. In every episode I watch, the perception of CEOs by the public is turned on its ear. In not one single case, did any CEO do anything but empathize with those who worked for him. It was solidarity at its finest.
I really think we need a show now called Undercover Politician. I feel our politicians are as equally misunderstood as the demonized CEOs. If people could only see them with the cameras running, they'd realize we are all on the same side.
In case it isn't obvious ....
"I have a scheme for stopping war.
It’s this—no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one."
Will Rogers
It's amazing how many of his quotations about politics in his day are still relevant to our times.
It is imperative to take action in Syria
Because if we don't, we'll start talking about the NSA again.
Anti-Republican Feeling on DU: How much is closeted liberalism?
I bet it's substantial.
If 10 commandments existed for atheists, what would they be?
I don't mean as a statement of mission, but some universal moral truths that could be agreed upon.
NSA Officers Sometimes Spy On Love Interests
—National Security Agency officers on several occasions have channeled their agency’s enormous eavesdropping power to spy on love interests, U.S. officials said.
The practice isn’t frequent — one official estimated a handful of cases in the last decade — but it’s common enough to garner its own spycraft label: LOVEINT.

Would cloning a neanderthal violate state laws on human cloning?
I'm curious what some of you with legal expertise think.

Congresswoman asks for bribe
In a nutshell, this seems to be the rule of current politics, not the exception.
Media discussion sets race relations back to 1965
One of the best articles I've read on what is happening in the "news" right now.
No, not the high-quality discussion on race relations we’ve seen this summer (which haven’t made tensions exceptionally worse or anything…)
No…not playing the race card from the bottom of the deck (if this was a blackjack table at Caesar’s, we’d be on our fourth shoe by now).
Instead, in light of the Chris Lane murder, a murder that–in a truly just society—should put the three responsible in front of a firing squad (with their back turned) to permanently cure themselves of their self-described boredom…the new game in the world of media is something I call race-crime-counting.
