Let me explain...
First take a peek at this:
I actually posted this earlier, but basically, what you're seeing here is the promotional video for a student conference, called TEDx Terry talks. This, we just finished up the other day (it was amazing and you can see the synopsis here).
Anyway,…
Yesterday I indulged myself and took a personal look backward. It was New Year's Eve, after all, the end of a year. Today is New Year's Day, the day we look to the year ahead. Is this the Year of The Big One (pandemically speaking)? Or another year of Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop? If we can't…
I vaguely knew that the U.S. Geological Survey's Menlo Park office runs a series of public lectures, but I didn't realize they were all videotaped and archived online for my blogging convenience. Ace! Now we just need to chop them up into bits and put them on YouTube.
Anyway, Thursday night's…
Elizabeth Chin has written an excellent scholarly takedown, in the form of a "letter from your thesis reader," of Jason Richwine's 2009 Harvard PhD dissertation, " IQ and Immigration."
I've not read Richwine's thesis, though I probably will at some point. And you probably haven't either. But, you…
If they promoted a jobs bill they'd be Democrats.

I had trouble getting through that just because he apparently has the "lick fingers before turning pages" habit which is really annoying and sort of disgusting. If you have to do that, then you shouldn't be the one making a video which is nearly silent.
This is a problem with democrats, they follow the republican script. "100 days of GOP rule" if I recall correctly, the GOP controls the House of Representatives; the Dems control the Senate and the Executive branch. I think the definition of "rule" needs to be looked at more closely.
As much as I despise the GOP agenda/ideology, at they get shit done. Dems controlled all three for 2 years and seemed to spend most of their time asking the GOP for permission to function.

On my list of most annoying things of the decade.
hhmmmm...how could he have forgotten overturning Roe vs Wade?
"I think the definition of "rule" needs to be looked at more closely."
Unless he means rule within the house of representatives. Which he does.
Yes, the GOP seem to 'herd' better than Dems, but it still doesn't mean they aren't running us toward the 'cliff'.
Dems need to grow a backbone and stand together to stand up to them.
Man, that sure is a terrible waste of paper. I guess it's not one of those useless Big Charts that they sometimes use. Those are a total waste.
Juice, you are so right. Telling the truth in the halls of congress rarely comes to much.
Re: Waste of Paper.
I was wondering if video presentations on screens (generically called powerpoint slides) is not permitted on the Floor of the House of Representatives.
Mike, good question. I'll bet that is true.
