Is The DCCC Doing Anything Wrong? It Would Be Easier To Ask If They're Doing Anything Right
*DCCC executive director, Dan Sena-- he knows what's wrong but is too cowardly to act on it* It was lonely out there when *DWT* first started covering DCCC perfidy in 2005. It isn't any longer.

Maybe if they did, the exposure of Steny Hoyer as a scumbag this week wouldn't have been such a shock to so many people.

Ahead of them, a line of Union soldiers started to form, bayonets gleaming.

During the Vietnam War, two of the most famous firearms of modern times emerged as icons of the latter half of the turbulent 20th century. The Soviet-made AK-47 and the American M16 were both developments that followed the deployment of the world’s first true assault rifle, the Sturmgewehr 44, by the German Army during World War II. There were obvious advantages to the rifle that could be fired in automatic or semi-automatic mode without requiring the soldier to operate a bolt, and these weapo... more »

Happy Full Pink Moon 2018: What You Need to Know About April's Full Moon
Why is it called a pink moon? The name can be traced back to North American aboriginal peoples, who referred to the full moon in April as a pink moon after a type of wildflower. This wildflower blooms early in the year, helping to signify that spring has arrived. April’s full moon goes by a number of other names in different cultures. Some coastal tribes refer to it as the fish moon because it coincided with the shad swimming upstream. The timing of the full moon’s appearance depends on where the moon is in orbit around the Earth - this is why the actual time of the full moon can... more »

Laughter as a Political Weapon in Ancient Sparta
In his book *Greek Laughter: A Study of Cultural Psychology from Homer to Early Christianity*, Stephen Halliwell says that “in Greek culture laughter was associated with the unruliness of the young, the surging energy of bodily instincts, and the insolence, even subversiveness, of mockery.” The militaristic Spartans were especially averse to laughter. The intellectuals of the classical period project an unsympathetic image of the Spartans as generally dour and, by implication, averse to laughter. But even the Spartans with their rigorous militaristic values could not implement a c... more »
