Found that from doing a google search for "bug that looks like an airplane." It's a type of sphinx moth.

Sexual preference seems to be set, psychologically, at a very young age, and there are a lot of different factors involved. Once set, it seems that there isn't a lot that can be done to change it. Obesity, on the other hand, mostly comes about because we live in a society of abundance with...

Just like I wouldn't want a religious person proselytizing in class, I don't want an atheist pushing their views on religion in class. It's just not the place for it. And frankly, this teacher is rather foolish to think that something like this would fly.

Seeing as we have precedent for holding elections during armed insurrection (see the election of 1864), this sounds pretty far fetched. I'll put it in the same category as the similar posts on these forums in 2008, that George Bush was going to fake a terrorist attack, declare martial law, and...

Outside the box isn't science. Look to philosophy or religion for that.

It was Bush winning the primary in 2000 that pretty much ended any association I had with the Republicans. But it sure didn't make me into a Democrat. I mean, I pretty much despise both the major parties, though feel like the dems are a bit worse.

The Mussolini quote is made up by someone that misunderstood what corporatism meant as used by the Italian fascists. It comes from "corpo," Italian for "body" as in government bodies that control all aspects of business, the economy, and society. It's a type of socialism that is different from...

the list is constantly updated from Sonicwall/Dell

Was just playing with my sonicwall here at work-- turning on the political filter didn't block redstate, but did block the Connecticut democratic party. The rest are pretty much the same. It looks like someone made specific rules for those sites though, because the default blocking when...

There hasn't been a budget surplus since the 1960s. Clinton's "surplus" was just a way a figuring the budget not taking into account payments on existing debt. Sort of like saying you got paid $4000 for the month, and only had $3400 in bills, so you came out ahead. Ignoring the $700 in credit...

About the emails? Nah, they'll go with the IRS IT staff was utterly and completely incompetent and didn't keep appropriate backups or records. At the very least, if a major department head lost two years worth of email due to a simple hard drive crash, then the IT staff should be replaced and...

What planet do you live on? Violent protest was rife in the 60s.

I assume you like the intentional irony crafted by a supporter of Obamacare? I'm always amused when someone takes stuff like this as actually being something other than intentional irony created as a counter protest.

Congress and the president ;)

Well, if it was an honest assessment, health care and job and family security at 22.45% and 17.26% would be lumped together as social programs, and national defense wouldn't be the highest.

No, just a bunch of nastiness from the people that don't like him.

The "I can see Russia from my house!" was Tina Fey on SNL. Palin never actually said that.

I don't know, it does seem the conservatives that are black or women take far more flack from the left than do white men. It's like liberals consider them to be "traitors" because they're members of an oppressed minority, and therefore should be liberal as well. I mean, Rice was called all...

Do you ever feel like the ridiculous "slippery slope" arguments from decades past are suddenly coming true?

It originated in ancient Greece, and when the modern Olympics was started, only European nations and the US participated. The Olympics is definitely grounded in western/European tradition.
