Satire: “Republicans Accuse Obama Of Treating Immigrants Like Humans”
*“Republicans Accuse Obama Of Treating Immigrants Like Humans”* by Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)— "In a sharp Republican rebuke to President Obama’s proposed actions on immigration, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell accused the President, on Thursday night, of “flagrantly treating immigrants like human beings, in clear defiance of the wishes of Congress.” McConnell was brutal in his assessment of the President’s speech on immigration, blasting him for “eliminating the fear of deportation, which is the great engine of the American economy.” “Fear is what keeps... more »

Adolf Hitler and Mystery Airships in Liverpool - 1913
*"**Even the silent gas dirigibles of the Hoothi are felt in our bones while still a million miles distant."* A somewhat atypical phantom airship report appears in today's newspapers. It's from the suburbs of one of the great cities, Liverpool. With a population of around three quarters of a million, Liverpool is more than three times the size of the biggest city to have previously reported a mystery aircraft, Cardiff. According to the *Standard*, (p. 9; above): Several people report having seen a mysterious aircraft over the north of Liverpool on Saturday evening [25 January 1913... more »
Why Would Anyone Expect Farmer Fincher To Employ Someone Unlike Racist Hound Elizabeth Lauten

rtod: this changes everything
Revolutionary thought of the day: All of this is why any attempt to rise to the climate challenge will be fruitless unless it is understood as part of a much broader battle of worldviews, a process of rebuilding and reinventing the very idea of the collective, the communal, the commons, the civil, and the civic after so many decades of attack and neglect. Because what is overwhelming about the climate challenge is that it requires breaking so many rules at once - rules written into national laws and trade agreements, as well as powerful unwritten rules that tell us that no governmen... more »

(Hagel Out Why?) Uppity Folk Unite! (Cornel West Leads the Way)
The discourse is deodorized because the issues that prophetic voices highlight, such as mass incarceration, wealth inequality, and war crimes such as imperial drones murdering innocent people, are ignored. Deodorized? So piquant a critique. But, back to that stirring essay in a moment. First off, Hagel leaves? Gee, you mean his antiwar rhetoric was only for getting hired? Or was it just

It's A Slow News Weekend But I Have Some Good Art So... Want To Read About Rick Perry's Presidential Fantasies?
Leave it to *Politico* to try to make something out of nothing. Nothing? Rick Perry *is* the governor of Texas, a big deal-- especially in Republican politics. But still... nothing; just watch the drug-addled closet case on the video above. In 2012, Perry came in fifth in the Republican Iowa caucuses-- between Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann. The new poll from Quinnipiac shows Perry with support from two percent of Republican voters-- behind Mitt Romney (19%), Jeb Bush (11%), Chris Christie (8%), Ben Carson (8%), Rand Paul (6%), Ted Cruz (5%), Mike Huckabee (5%), Paul Ryan (5%... more »
No, you still don't want to be anywhere near Chernobyl
*"There was something serene, yet highly disturbing about this place," writes Danny Cooke in describing this drone-shot video he posted of the mostly abandoned city of Pripyat, which is closer to the crippled Chernobyl nuclear power plant than the mostly abandoned city of Chernobyl is.* *by Ken* The date was April 26, 1986, and the event we know as "the Chernobyl disaster" remains, as Wikipedia puts it, "the worst nuclear power plant accident in history in terms of cost and casualties." (The closest challenger to date is the Fukushima disaster of 2011.) The above video was posted ... more »
Broadcasting House
Today is (as I may have mentioned before) Advent Sunday and, even though I'm an unbeliever, I love my Christian heritage and would dearly love, like Thomas Hardy, to see the oxen kneel on Christmas Eve, hoping it would be so. Thus, as today is the first day in the Church's liturgical calender (its News Year's Day at it were), I've been trying to write posts today that reflect a fresh spirit on my part - more Ebenezer than Scrooge (leaping ahead somewhat to the next liturgical festival). Actually though, reading back, they are, by and large, just the same as before. So, like New Y... more »
The Roswell Slides and Premature Disclosure
There are times when premature disclosure can ruin an investigation and close avenues of research. Back in the last century (which is a line that cracks me up for some reason) Gerald Anderson burst on the scene with his tale of seeing the crashed saucer over on the Plains of San Agustin. Contrary to popular belief, I was the first to talk to him and found his tale interesting but in conflict with the information that Don Schmitt and I were developing. We didn’t understand how the Barney Barnett tale fit into the whole Roswell picture, especially if Anderson’s date and location were... more »
Planck all-sky polarization data out: Mon-Fri
ESA's Planck spacecraft is two orders of magnitude more expensive than the BICEP2 experiment that induced so much excitement in Spring 2014. With various expectations, people are waiting what Planck may say about the polarization data of the CMB – and the foregrounds. In comparison with BICEP2, Planck should have some advantages. Between 2009 and 2013, it was mapping the whole sky. Also, it should be looking at nine frequencies. Finally, two days ago, ESA promised us results in the coming 5 days: CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT: PLANCK 2014 - THE MICROWAVE SKY IN TEMPERATURE AND POLARIZA... more »

Well, that's my excuse. What's Hugh's?
At the risk of sounding obsessive - which is something no blogger has ever been accused of before - our old friend Hugh Sykes, even before I started reading blogs about BBC bias, has always struck me as the dictionary definition of a BBC reporter - a highly intelligent, brilliantly-gifted reporter working for the impartial BBC whose less-than-neutral views, whilst reporting, have hardly ever been disguised, despite carrying the brand mark of BBC objectivity. For me he was *the* voice of the BBC during the Iraq War, always working to criticise the war and berate Western foreign po... more »
Nov. 30: Patriotism and the rush to kill...
One of the things you learn in studying history is how many lies there are that we believe are truths. One of them is that going to war is good and patriotic-----but only when it happens on our side. Anybody on the other side who shoots back at us is evil, and quite possibly insane. For generations, British children (and Canadians) were taught that the building of the British Empire was something to be proud of, to feel patriotic pride about. Why? Well, it showed that the British were a more highly developed "race" than the peoples they conquered. The soldiers and sailors who did t... more »

An anti-Thatcherite 'Point of View'
Pessimistic philosopher John Gray is a fascinating intellectual figure and Radio 4 can count themselves lucky to have him as one of their *A Point of View *presenters but, thinking in terms of BBC bias, Radio 4's *A Point of View *has long been a clear-cut, open-and-shut case of BBC left-wing bias. I've expounded several times before about the programme's blatant bias (see the link to *A Point of View* on the right), with its hordes of left-wing presenters and one solitary, lonely, belated right-wing exception (Roger Scruton), but, among that crowd, John Gray has always stood out a... more »

James Harding, Putin and Nick Cohen
Partly for the sake of provocation - and I mostly mean for the sake of recording my own feelings of provocation on reading the piece - and, also, just because it's him, please take a read of Nick Cohen's denunciation of BBC Director of News James Harding at *Standpoint* and its less-obviously-left-wing follow-up at the *Spectator*. It poses some serious questions about Mr Harding's past record [the then- *Times* man's passing over the expenses scandal] and present BBC directorship, alleging cronyism - the kind of potentially devastating charges that the BBC boss ought to be compel... more »

Another Miscellany for Advent Sunday (afternoon)
What did we learn, bias-wise, from the previous post then? That Evan Davis may have been pushing his pro-EU bias at us on *Newsnight*, that Andrew Marr's show was pretty much OK, that Radio 4's *Sunday *was its usual liberal-biased self, and that Hugh Sykes still doesn't like UKIP (and ain't afraid to show it on Twitter)... ...in other words, biases (where found) from the usual, expected direction. *** It's not always like that though (and I refuse to be the sort of blogger who refuses to admit that).

That his words have been picked up by numerous newspapers *and bloggers* this week makes it no less important that his assessment of the Harper Regime be repeated here, they are words that need repeating time and time again. *Lewis told the S... more »

Miscellany for Advent Sunday
This week's *Newswatch *had Evan Davis on to answer questions about his interviewing technique following complaints from viewers about his interruption-strewn interview with Owen Paterson MP (and Emily Maitlis's just-as-interruption-strewn interview with Sir Malcolm Rifkind), which we discussed here on Thursday. Evan put in a larger-than-life performance, being himself, and Samira Ahmed was clearly charmed. He conceded that he'd interrupted a couple of times too often but stood by his performance overall, saying that Mr Paterson had been given a long time to give his first answ... more »
The Obama Admin Uses Psych Tests To Select Psychopaths Out of The Loose Pile of Syrian Rebels And Then Trains Them To Be Part Of ISIS
"Under the plan, which has not been finalized, “moderate” fighters will be evaluated on an ongoing basis. Successful participants would gradually attain access to higher levels of training and weaponry, and fighters found to be wanting would be dismissed from the program. The screening for the Syrian fighters is also aimed at ensuring that militants aligned with the Islamic State or other extremist groups don’t infiltrate U.S.-sponsored training. U.S. officials have said that training will occur in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and two other countries. Some training is already believed t... more »
MoD orders review into spiralling cost of Project Pegasus nuclear plant
Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston, Berkshire, United Kingdom The Ministry of Defence has ordered a review into the costs and construction timetable of a highly sensitive manufacturing plant that will enrich uranium for Trident nuclear missiles, amid fears the budget had spiralled out of control. Project Pegasus, a £634m facility to be built at the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) in Berkshire, is said to be struggling over costs and scheduling. The MoD had said that Pegasus would be completed between 2016 and 2020. The AWE, which manufactures and maintains Britain's nucle...more »

Armed and ready to go: RAF's next-gen fighter passes key weapons test ahead of 2018 lift-off
[image: F-35B STOVL Lightning II]These new pictures show the RAF's next-generation F-35B fighter, bristling with fearsome state-of-the-art weaponry. However, the deadly-looking weapons are actually trial or 'dummy' ordnance, which are identical in fit and form to their lethal counterparts but incapable of causing damage. A UK test team including personnel from BAE Systems, has successfully completed initial aircraft handling trials for ASRAAM and Paveway IV weapons on the F-35B Lightning II aircraft at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland, United States.

David's Sling air defense system to deploy for trial period
[image: David's Sling Weapons System Stunner Missile]The David's Sling air defense system will soon be deployed for a trial period, before becoming operational, the IDF said in recent days. David's Sling can intercept short-range to medium-range rockets and missiles, including Hezbollah's Katyusha rockets. Its range of coverage is three times that of the Iron Dome anti-rocket defense system. The system will be deployed in various areas around Israel for a trial period, the IDF added. After that, David's Sling will also be set up to intercept hostile aircraft and missiles with longer... more »
Iran’s New Training Plane Displayed

The 7th International Exhibition of Aviation Industry, held on Iran’s southern island of Kish in November, saw a new training plane, dubbed K10.

In recent years, Iran has made major breakthroughs in its defense sector and attained self-sufficiency in producing important military equipment and systems, including a variety of domestically-manufactured... more »

"We think there is a strong potential (in Indo-US defense ties). We want to translate that strong potential into action and reality.

Is it time to stop bashing bankers? Continuing revelations of "cringeworthy behaviour" suggest not.

Operation Pig
*By Anonymous Operative* Yesterday, Chris Christie let all pigs know he is not on their side. And by Pigs, I don’t mean his Wall-Street campaign donors. The New Jersey Governor vetoed a bill that would outlaw the transporting of pregnant pigs in small, debilitating crates. For good measure, he attacked the bill's supporters as "partisan politicians"... and they returned the compliment. This bill, created by veteran progressive state Senator Ray Lesniak, was created to protect these animals’ rights. Unfortunately, Pigs can’t vote in Republican primaries (or the Iowa caucus) thus it... more »

Well, that's an extravagent claim, but it passed my mind the other day when my colleague Maura T. invited me up to the Science Building to see a strange creature she had just added to the aquarium. Here's a pic, Chaetopterus, the parchment tube worm. In nature, it makes its own U-shaped "parchment" tube, which, e... more »

From blowing dandelion seeds into the air to throwing a penny into a fountain, we have all felt inspired to make a wish, to whisper our secret desires into the ears of the universe and wait for signs that we have been heard. Some wishes come true while others remain ethereal visions that either stay with us or fade like a star in the light of morning. Whether they come true or not, wishes are important missives, expressing ... more »

Just 51 years ago, the head of a profoundly gifted young man was blown apart. A few months earlier he’d given a speech that promised a new dawn. He reached out to our enemies. He talked of going to the moon, of technological breakthrough and human promise. And he stopped the radioactive madness of atmospheric Bomb testing, a reason many of us are alive today.

He was sentenced in 1999 to a term of imprisonment of 24 months for attempted robbery. He says that a 7.5 year sentence is too great a jump.

*Where We Belong* is a collection of Paul Shepard essays that discuss how we perceive the natural world, and how this influences the way we treat it. Most of the essays were written between the 1950s and 1970s. They include some ideas that evolved into major components of his classics. Almost half of this book is devoted to provocative discussions of pioneer diaries, a special treat. Humans evolved as hunters and scavengers on tropical savannahs. Today, our genes are still those of Pleistocene hunter-gatherers — not Anthropocene cell phone zombies. Shepard believed that the pr... more »
