Health, Science and Environmental News
It occurred to me that tons of really important stories around these topics don't get discussed here because there are so many of them that wouldn't have their own thread. The article that made me think this today is this story about a mass die off of elephant seals and other ocean mammals, from a strain of bird flu! First…

Ankle-biting Democrats
Everyone concedes that Iraq has not turned out like we hoped it would. But it's painfully obvious that Democrats (and some Republicans) are now emersed in political posturing based on opinion polls. They know the majority of Americans oppose the war, and so they are trying to score political points with their constituents…

Ukraine
Will putin on the ritz invade? Should the US and NATO go to war over Ukraine?
