These guys are something to see live, with four (or is it five?) vocalists/lyricists, leading the band through country rave ups, folk ballads and staright up rock ‘n’ roll.

For years, a blind belief in “global warming” has occurred in American society.Radical “global warming” hysteria, fear-mongering and guilt-filled propaganda have been drilled into our collective conscience, used to advance an agenda to control our life styles and bleed us of more money.But now, finally, it seems that the American people are starting to develop a pragmatic, skeptical awareness of this junk science.

A story in today’s Science News reports that Women who lived in villages sprayed with DDT to reduce malaria gave birth to 33 per cent more baby boys with urogenital birth defects (UGBD) between 2004 and 2006 than women in unsprayed villages, according to research published online by the UK-based urology journal BJUI . A lot of folks don’t realize that Big Ag Chem is still peddling the banned pesticide in the Third World.

In Japan, Astro Boy needs no introduction. He’s as instantly recognizable to Japanese of all ages as Mickey Mouse and Superman are to Americans; the fictional character even enjoys an honorary citizenship in Niiza, Saitama. It’s likely that most Americans have never even heard of Astro Boy until now, but Summit Entertainment and Imagi Studios hope that he’ll become a household name this side of the Pacific thanks to their big-budget, star-studded animated film, Astro Boy , which opens in wide release this Friday, October 23.

Brenda and Robert Vale recently published Eat the Dog: The real guide to sustainable living , where they made the case that your pets are a greater environmental burden than a typical SUV. Cocoa the dog begs to differ, having checked their math: Conclusion 0.61 hectares to feed the soulless Toyota Land Cruiser. 0.062 hectares to feed your best friend. That’s 10 times as much for the Land Cruiser than for me. I could have sworn the professors said the dog required twice as much land as the Land Cruiser.

Think about this, ladies and gentlemen: the President of the United States is in an argument with, (pregnant pause) the United States Chamber of Commerce.  Let’s say that again, to ourselves of course.

There isn’t a thinking person in the entire country who isn’t scratching their head over this one.

Here’s another example of where historians show their value in science debates. Naomi Oreskes delivered this lecture a few years ago on denialism in climate science.  Among other targets of her criticism-by-history is my old friend Robert Jastrow.  I think her history is correct, and her views on the Marshall Institute and denial of climate change informative in the minimum, and correct on the judgment of the facts. You’ll recognize some of the names:  Jastrow, Frederick Seitz, S.

October 23rd, 2009 | Tags: Advice, Average Person, Colon Cleanse, Colon Cleansing, Drug Store, Fad, Fecal Matter, Health Food Store, Health Store, Junk Science, Money, Yuck asked: I heard that the average person has anywhere from 5 to 15 pounds of fecal matter build up inside their colon!
