Someone should arrest Dubya on terrorist charges and lock him in one of his own prisons. Although I doubt even then he'd be able to figure out why he shouldn't have signed that document.
Ummm... yeah... that isn't crazy or anything....

Great thread title. And me loves the Leonids. I have fond memories from my undergraduate years. That is, when it didn't rain.

I find it a bit creepy myself. But then, were these ever anything more than de facto rights for non-citizens? I am not sure what you mean by that, Ollie. It seems to me that some of the changes definitely violate the Geneva Conventions. Also, it's not clear that the law only applies to non-citizens...

Wow. I like that one too, Val. And I'm not a huge poetry guy (although I'm a fan of Helena Bell... you should google her poems at Southern Gothic ... you may like them).

Ha! I've never actually read Catcher in the Rye (it's a sad story of how the honors and then AP English programs at my school bounced me around so much that I ended up skipping most of those 'required' books that everyone else has read), and so would be amenable to that. However, I can't imagine I'm...

I don't feel strongly enough about any books I haven't read, really, to suggest any, so I think I will in general let the nomination process ride without participating, other than to point out books I'd rather NOT do (Holy Run-On sentence, Batman!). I've read American Gods and was bored by it, and a...

I'm thrilled about this selection. Not because the book is a favorite of mine, but because it has been in my "read someday" pile forever and the situation wasn't looking to improve any time soon. That's why when it opened with [the character of] Goldman saying, "this is my favorite bo...

Wikipedia has no monopoly on mistakes. I have already found three errors in various peer-reviewed scientific journals while doing research for my next project. It happens everywhere. Wikipedia is a wonderful source of information. That said, so is webMD.com, but I'd never use that website to diagnos...

Responsible Conduct of Research (Shamoo and Resnik)

guilty pleasure: being a 25 yr old straight male who loves the Golden Girls is just not a sign of normality

irrational irritation: when i see that someone consistently mispells words on a forum.

Thats probably true, but if we have any other science related info, in any form, Im guessing we should put it in Milagre. Cuz on the old Pweb, we put ALL science studff, regardless of its Ender-relatedness, in the Enderverse Science section, but without one of those, i am wondering where to put all...
