Is GPS All in Our Heads? - NYTimes.com →
“It’s a question that probably every driver with a Garmin navigation device on her dashboard has asked herself at least once: What did we ever do before GPS? How did people find their way around, especially in places they’d never been before?” To GPS, or not to GPS? Lol…(“To be, or not to be. That is the question.”)

Remarkable Editorial Bias on Climate Science at... →

So far, Komen has identified and filed legal trademark oppositions against more than a...

Robert Reich: Why No Responsible Democrat Should... →
robertreich: Republicans are worried sick about Newt Gingrich’s ascendance, while Democrats are tickled pink. Yet no responsible Democrat should be pleased at the prospect that Gingrich could get the GOP nomination. The future of America is too important to accept even a small risk of a Gingrich presidency. The Republican worry is understandable. “The possibility of Newt Gingrich being our...
