Christine Maggiore dies at 52 of AIDS
Maggiore believed that virtually all the information we receive about
HIV/AIDS is wrong. She questioned the link between HIV and AIDS. She
also appeared to believe that mother’s don’t pass the disease on to
their children either in vitro or through breast feeding.
This is, of course, much [...]
I can’t help but find this whole thing vaguely amusing. Let’s put
aside any thoughts of intent, racist or otherwise.
Just sending the song was moronic, very poor judgement. After getting
booted out of congress and the white house, after showing they are
seriously out of touch with the ideals of the American People, you’d
think they’d be [...]
Great…
The government wants the automakers reduce their debt load
by two-thirds via a debt for equity exchange with current bondholders
and get the United Auto Workers union to agree to wages and work rules
competitive with non-union plants operated by Asian auto manufacturers
by the end of next year.
In addition, the government is calling for GM and Chrysler to [...]
So, I’m rapidly beginning to think Ms. Brown isn’t too bright.
Or, at least, she doesn’t have much to say.

Hain, who has children ages 1, 5 and 9 and a 9-year-old
stepdaughter, says a near-fatal car accident 21/2 years ago destroyed
her sense of security and convinced her that the worst can happen.

I can conceive of evidence that might convince me that Intelligent
Design was true. Or, at least, the evolution was false.
