Twitter, Tweeter


"Wall Street traders are so eager for Twitter's new stock that they funneled money into the wrong company. The consumer electronics company Tweeter Home Entertainment Group saw its stock price rise 684 percent on Friday,"

Maybe these people would be interested in my new company, Factbook.

Voter IDs

"The Justice Department sues North Carolina over its restrictive law
The changes require voter IDs, curb early voting, and impose other restrictions but to prevail the Dept. must prove intention to discriminate against certain groups.

How do this when politicians publicly claim voter fraud prevention? Simple, their private phone calls and e-mails would reveal their true intent. So just go over to NSA and get them.

Creationism

Creationists Lead Texas Textbook Panel

"— One is a nutritionist who believes “creation science” based on biblical principles should be taught in the classroom...."

Leaving aside the damage done by misleading schoolchildren, let me point out the "creation science" is a huge oxymoron.  "Science  ... is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations..."     Creationism is the religious belief that life, the Earth, and the universe are the creation of a supernatural being."

These are obviously incompatible. It is fine that man can invent and believe in a higher, supreme power; but just don't call it a science.
