So I’m not trying to stir up any flames about religion as to me it’s not necessarily the point of the article, but I do like this article on the NPR site from Penn Jilette (of Penn & Teller fame) titled There Is No God. Religion aspect aside (and let’s go ahead and complain about [...]

A NY Times article posted on Slashdot about efforts to develop gifted children is a very interesting issue to me. I was a fairly sharp kid and always had problems in Elementary School because teachers were not able to grasp that I was very far ahead of my classmates. Basically I’d always get in trouble [...]
America’s finest news source makes us proud as usual with stories like “Louisiana National Guard Offers Help By Phone From Iraq” and “White Foragers Report Threat Of Black Looters“.

The Secret Service says it is investigating the claims of three people who claim they were removed from President Bush’s town [...]
Magazine Madness
