pretty good presentation on design and global warming.
the large hadron collider gets funky
okay, this is no Missy Elliott track, but as far as physics rapping goes, this is totally awesometacular. The flow is halfway decent, and it accurately covers so much knowledge.

RAND study shows that to stop Al Qaida, we should end the war on terror.
The vast majority of terrorist organizations come to an end because of politics and policing, not because of military campaigns. Treat terrorists as criminals, not nations, and we will be more effective at ending Al Queda.

Rench blogified in the blog-o-blag
Just want to note that some cool people have said some nice things about me recently in the blog-o-blag. Check out these fresh writings:
Go interweb!
Po Dawg shows you how to play a traditional Vietnamese Hymn on the Moon Lute.
Do you ever get the feeling like you’ve been saying something for a long time, and people keep acting like nobody’s said it? I wonder if Jackson Pollock had to hear people make jokes about a zany artist who splatters paint on the canvass a lot.
those are just the most recent.

iris dement singing pretty saro
Not often in a narrative movie do they just have a singer sit and do a whole song. Probably my favorite part of “Songcatcher”
View co-host denies evolution is true, not sure if world is flat.
What’s really outrageous about this is that “I have children, I don’t have time to know about stuff” is really not an adequate excuse for disputing basic scientific ideas. Parents need to make time to know whether the earth is round or flat, whether things revolve around the earth or the sun, whether you can get more energy out than you put into a device, whether global warming is true, etc. or else people with a greedy agenda can lie to us and get away with it. I’m not naming names, but there’s a certain president whose name starts with B and almost rhymes with douche, who’se been ignoring what scientists agree on in order to push religion in schools and environmental disaster for the sake of the oil industry. Democracy works a lot better when people take responsibility to be informed. Someone should say that and nobody on the show did.

Dick Cheney was smarter in 1994
He never should have started smoking the crack.
