What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North
You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

clock | November 10, 2006I agree with Publius' final assessment of the election. Read it.
I spit my coffee (tea, actually) through the nose when I read this today:
"Sadly, it seems that the Party of Reagan has been hijacked by the neocons, the big government crowd and the pragmatists."
PRAGMATISTS? Heellllooo?
As Deborah noted when she was calling VA voters, this was not about Iraq, it was about "throwing the bums out". The word "corruption" that is being banded about is misleading. Corruption was not the top reason for kicking the bums out, courrption is just one of inevitable sub-symptoms of the greater sin of…
clock | November 10, 2006Microbes Compete With Animals For Food By Making It Stink:
Microbes may compete with large animal scavengers by producing repugnant chemicals that deter higher species from consuming valuable food resources, a new study suggests. Ecologists have long recognized microbes as decomposers and pathogens in ecological communities. But their role as classic consumers who produce chemicals to compete with larger animals could be an important and common interaction within many ecosystems, according to a paper published this week in the journal Ecology

Primaries: Most small parties do not have primaries. They decide their nominees at Conventions or in smokey backrooms. No TV for them. One of the big parties usually has an incumbent President or VP who is a de facto nominee. Even if that party has a primary, it is of no importance, thus no TV.
Those parties that have competitive primaries need to set a date for…

Welcome to the fifth international carnival of pozitivities, blog carnival about HIV and AIDS founded and managed by my friend and neighbor (and great blogger) Ron Hudson.
I have to say that preparing this carnival has been quite an eye-opener for me and that I have learned so much. I feel it would be presumptious of me to write any editorials for today's entries so I will just list them with brief quotes from each post, but I warmly recommend that you take your time and read each and every post here - perhaps they will be eye-openers for you as well.
