I saw an ad on TV tonight for a website named realrepublicanmajority.org I took a quick look, and it looks like an anti-Christian group to me. A quick google of the name found some newspaper articles that pointed at the parent organization, but I can't find a list of financial backers.

Seven months ago they screwed up my move order so badly, the supervisors gave up and had to delete the order, wait several days, then enter a new order. They were a month late getting my DSL working.

Now they've screwed up my son's order. First, they put a hold on his online order for DSL. They insisted it wasn't available at his new address, but FIOS was. Great! he thought, so he ordered that. Today, (installation day) the prep work is not done, and after two hours on the phone, they realize that lo and behold, FIOS is not available there, he needs DSL! They also screwed up the work order for DirecTV installation, so now he'll be without a phone, without Internet access, and without TV for two weeks.

Any good ideas on how to publicly shame them?

The State of California has just filed a Federal lawsuit against Ford, GM, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota, Nissan and Honda, claiming damages from the emission of Carbon Dioxide.

Is it time for these six automakers to employ the John Gault solution, and refuse to sell any more cars in California?

Dallas Texas has the North Dallas Distressway,

What's the most notorious where you live?

They had to have been around 16' tall. There were a huge number of them, and it might have been a unit train. They were loaded two to a flat car.

If you were writing a book about great moderates, who would you include?

By abstraction I mean the human capacity for generalization and association. It's one of our most powerful mental tools, and it's use can lead to more "fundamental truths."

At some point though, the loss of accuracy must outweigh any additional benefit. A white canvas in theory reflects every color from every pixel and thus reflects every picture that can ever be, but as art, it has no value at all.

How does one recognize that threshold where further abstraction is unproductive?

The entire room was primed with Kilz 2 before starting, and I've not had the same problem with a different brand of mildew resistant paint.

An article in the Wall Street Journal today documents a large and growing difference in fertility rates between Conservatives and Liberals. Are Liberals aborting themselves into permanent minority status?

There's been an explosion of stories in the news lately about otherwise normal people, parents and teachers, getting caught having sex with minors. I wonder if these people are justifying this perversion as a means of keeping themselves healthy, without having to stay celibate.

I realize this was a long time ago, but I think that perhaps enough time has passed for the true story to get out, at least among the U.K. fans. His refusal to participate in "The Five Doctors" always struck me as odd, given that he stayed with the role for seven seasons.

It has been 780,000 years since the last time the Earth's magnetic field flipped polarity. A weakening of the overall field strength and an dramatic increase in the number of instabilities seem to indicate that a new flip is beginning. Are we biginning to see hot spots develop from solar radiation pouring in through weak spots? Will we eventually be exposed to radiation from the Van Allen belt?
