Planetary PanoramaSlate – by Phil Plait

If I have but one complaint when I go outside to soak in the splendor of the heavens at night, it’s that I can only see one small part of the sky at once.

This is not the fault of geography, trees, or buildings blocking my view. It’s evolution. Or specifically, the result of endless random mutations guided by environmental pressures that have placed both our eyes in the front of our head, limiting our view.

Good morning, Gentle Reader. Have you been disturbed by the most recent news? Thinking that things really aren’t as bad as that, because they’re actually worse? Wondering if you’ll ever manage to unravel that knot in your stomach short of hauling stakes and “going Galt?”

If the above applies to you, turn off the television — those patent medicines won’t do a damn thing for you and you know it — and address this most important question with me:   Continue reading “Declarations Of War”

Syria in the Crosshairs - Obama Confirms Airstrikes Will Not Be Limited to IraqSCG News

One year ago the Obama administration was doing their very best to build up public support for U.S. military intervention in Syria. Even though that attempt failed, no one who has been following this crisis closely believed for a moment that this was the end. They would regroup and try again from another angle.
