White police officer shoots black teenager 17 times. In St. Louis. It's like deja vu all over again.
Steps for controlling Ebola from The Lancet. Shut down everything and President Madagascar surprisingly absent.
How is Fayetteville, NC, home of Fort Bragg, handling the Forever War? Not that well.
Jimmy Carter isn't too happy about our reengagement in the Middle East. I guess he should give that peace prize back. Only true militarized pacifists like Obama get peace prizes.
Democrats in Colorado, supposed allies of the environment, killed a vote on anti-fracking ordinances. Here's part 2. Got to ride with some Colorado folks on my trip.

"If only we could just get the kids to eat apples and kale."
Here's a slide show of what fracking looks like in ND. It's not too different from what I just drove through in Colorado.
Susan G Komen, the breast cancer charity famous for paying it's staff millions, has teamed up with fracking companies to, well, "frack for a cure." Unfortunately irony is not a cure for cancer.
Your nutrition supplements are trying to kill you. That's why I only drink distilled rainwater and grain alcohol.
2014 budget deficit falls to $486 billion. Thanks Obama. Or as Krugman puts it, Nobody Knows or Cares. Don't worry, we will elect a republican and ruin the budget in 2016.
You know, isn't it about time for another recession? Let's see if stocks lead the way.

The consultant, Stafford Beer, had been brought in by Chile’s top planners to help guide the country down what Salvador Allende, its democratically elected Marxist leader, was calling “the Chilean road to socialism.” Beer was a leading theorist of cybernetics—a discipline born of midcentury efforts to understand the role of communication in controlling social, biological, and technical systems.Stop me if you've heard this one, rich kids do better on standardized tests than poor kids.
On average, students in 2014 in every income bracket outscored students in a lower bracket on every section of the test, according to calculations from the National Center for Fair & Open Testing (also known as FairTest), using data provided by the College Board, which administers the test.State Trooper pulls a lady over and evangelizes to her. I guess she wasn't carrying enough cash.
Ammosexual gets robbed at gunpoint.
Conservative states are more likely to search for sex and porn online. Giggity, y'all.
