“The people’s interest, and the people’s future”? What a crock. As long as for-profit insurance companies are allowed to continue doing business, this bullshit “reform” is in the insurance companies’ interest. Maybe it’s true that the bill on offer prohibits insurance companies from denying you coverage for a preexisting condition, or from dropping you when … more…
The current issue of Archaeology magazine has a fascinating article revealing that scientists are very close to sequencing the DNA of a Neanderthal woman who died in what is now Croatia 30,000 years ago.

Adorable. Now I want a dog named Jerry: Don’t worry: the guy who made the machine made it babyproof as well as dogproof…
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from a DVD… and just to make things harder for 2010, this one is from a TV show which may or may not be in my collection (it’s sooo much easier to do screengrabs now that Netflix is streaming to my computer). Guess the TV show — you don’t … more…
