And now that he's in custody, the PR nightmare can begin. Easily able to blend in among 25,000 undergraduates (thousands of which were new to the campus, about to begin their first day of classes), he shut down the entire university and forced the evacuation of students, staff, and faculty from a va...

Re: Republican turned Democrate throws down the gauntlet...

Holy shit, some democrats are growing backbones. Turn up the heat mon! At the risk of again falling into the realm of paranoia, my gut feeling is that Webb knows that he's going to lose and is thus doing his best to damage Allen's credibility for the 2008 Presidential election. That being said, it'...

Admittedly, it appears they're stating the a given homosexual person might/would not be homosexual if they were born as the first child, but I'm not seeing them state that it's nurture or give weight to that idea. You might be right...it's very possible that I'm paranoid. I'd like to think that thi...

The worst part of this whole thing? This 'research' came from MSU (my school). It's embarrassing. I'd be willing to bet for every homosexual younger brother you find that has many biological older brothers, you'll find the oldest brother being homosexual in another family. Sorry, just don't buy it....

Killfile knows more of the details than I do but the connection between the Bush family and the Nazi Party is well established rather than a conspiracy theory.

We should not have to bring to the attention of the entire United Nations every single human rights issue that comes forth. If we actually did that, we'd have about six seconds left for domestic policy. Have you looked within the US borders lately? We're going through a lot of problems of our own i...

Genocide in Darfur

Violence in Darfur, defined by many as genocide, has displaced 2.5 million individuals, who now face disease, starvation, and attacks in refugee camps, and killed 400,000 men, women, and children. I bring this up because I am preparing to teach a fall course that focuses upon the processes of genoci...
