Bring Him Home

-- Featured Comments -- While Obama, Biden and company playact their way through their positions like B movie actors, McChrystal is working for real. The idiocy inherent in Obama's three blunders described herein would be enough to have the entire military disrespect him. Add to this the ridiculous apologizing on behalf of this country around the world, and Read More

Geometric Figures

-- Featured Comments -- I have reservations about this approach for several reasons. First of all, I do not think that it can be applicable to all students. It is hard to replace the personal and physical presence of an authority figure several yards away from one's person with a virtual voice. Many kids are somewhat inattentive and energetic by nature and Read More

German Football Team

-- Featured Comments -- Taranto wrote "One in 20 UK schoolchildren thought Adolf Hitler was a coach of the German football team, according to a survey." As if it isn't bad enough they can't identify Hitler, they don't even know that there's no football in Germany! One is easily tempted to comment colorfully on Scots in general or the knowledge Read More

Ethanol Free Gas

-- Featured Comments -- RIght, sure buddy, All that ethanol laced gasoline sitting around in Leaf and Volts has to be drained and tossed out every few months. Go to your local filling station. Fill a glass pickle jar and let is sit around for a few months and witness the parfait that it turns into. If you do not burn a tank every few weeks the bottom of your Read More

Turkish Media

-- Featured Comments -- In my opinion Turkey is doing a Fuss over nothing if the exploration as indicated in the map above.In the Turkish media the which is in turkish is saying a different thing .these ships are going to explore oil in the north cyprus aswell as the areas indicated above and this is why Turkey is in anger.But due to economic troubles Cyprus, Read More

Management By Exception

-- Featured Comments -- This is a great program in concept but lousy in execution. The issue with this and so many other government programs is that those executing are not allowed to think. The Crat mentality is to write rules and policies, millions of them. They cover every single situation and once voted upon, cannot be changed, only layered upon. The Read More

Get Scared

-- Featured Comments -- Lawrence, they are SCARED. Killing is okay, if you're SCARED. Anything you do is okay if you're SCARED, like the conservaties. They get SCARED about almost anything, the wrong religion, the wrong color, the wrong social class, the wrong language, . . so they have to kill. It's that easy. But don't ask them to pay for any of it. Nope, Read More

Retention Rate

-- Featured Comments -- Technology has made it a lot easier. The personal computer and the internet have really cut down on the amount of time that has to be spent performing certain tasks traditionally associated with learning. You no longer have to tear through piles of physical books, journals, newspapers, etc. Most of these things are available on the Read More

Long Term Memory

-- Featured Comments -- I would not underestimate Tim Cook in any way. I believe that Steve and Tim have been working on this transition for many years. I think Tim is truly brilliant, really "gets it," and that he and Steve have a 20+ year plan figured out for Apple. If you go back to the mid-1970s, Steve was already talking about moves that Apple has just Read More

Asian Stereotypes

-- Featured Comments -- I am born to parents of Chinese heritage. We all conform to the Asian stereotypes: 1, honour the family name; 2, make straight A's; 3, excel in everything academic; 4, no talking back at your parents; 5, never intercept in adult conversations (or even as much as to raise your chin!). Not only Chinese parents have that degree of 'pragmatism' Read More
