Don't worry about Obama, it's almost a lock that he's going to win. The only thing I can think that might sink it is that he's not ahead enough in key delegate states to overcome the "Bradley" effect where people wont admit to pollsters that they won't vote for a black guy. He needs buffer of 5...

"Clinging to Rep. talking points?" lol... you are trying to project onto me your own biases and agenda. I have no "talking points" and I'm not even a republican. The subject was the validity of Obama's weaknesses from attacks about being Arab and you suddenly go off onto Palin's comments about...

The relationship? The only relationship they have is that they are running mates. McCain didn't even know her until recently and he needed a hail mary pass of a candidate pick. Belonging to some sort of end-times church is one thing, belonging to a church where the pastor says "God Damn America"...

The whole Arab thing is a waste of time in my opinion, and isn't really getting much traction anyway. From a tactical standpoint, a much better line of attack is Obama's legitimately close association with reverand Jeremiah Wright. That guy is a crazy and virulent racist yet Obama considered...

Anyone suprised that the guys Paulson put in charge of sorting out the bailout money are ex-Goldman Sachs execs? http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ivUNym327VFLHYnu3QVFrMPykTdAD93LEDMO0

Interestingly... I've noticed that during the past few weeks the price of oil has dropped sharply (90/barrel at the moment) AND as the World markets tank, the strength of the dollar has shot up finally. Apparently America isn't such a bad place to hedge your bets, despite what guys like Putin...

Damn straight! I agree 100 percent. You'd think the world had never encountered challenging times before if you listen to the media at all. Of course according to the media "THIS time it's different. We swear!!!" yea right...

Exactly..China attempting to invade the US would be the last thing they ever did. No one is able to move a muscle on a large scale in this world due to satellite and plane surveillance. The US nuclear triad - 1/3 of which is 18 Ohio class subs roaming the seas are totally invulnerable. No force...

cool thanks!

Yea he worked for Carter(!!!???) back in the 70's and apparently he is one of Obama's foriegn policy advisors (or they have at least met). Obama is quick to deny any close association, but who know for sure what goes on behinds the scenes? His son Mark definately does serve as an advisor to...

Has anyone read this book by Zbigniew Brzezinski? I've been thinking of picking it up.

How about an Archaeopteryx fossil for starters?

Well at one time, the standard model only counted electrons, protons, and neutrons (as well as their inverse charge twins) right? But now you have all these various flavors of quarks, higgs particles, gravitons etc. Supersymmetry introduces sleptons, squarks, charginos etc. Then along comes...

Ok so ParticlePhysicist I'm curious as to your own opinion of the underlying implications of quantum theory - IS there no deep reality (ala Copenhagen) or is the Everett many worlds more to your personal liking? What about Penroses' theory that negates the need for conciousness or active...

But will they be the old style shambling zombies, or those new frenetic spazzy zombies? I much prefer the former to latter. Either way I will prepare as best I can - looting gun shops and supermarkets, might steal a humvees and whatever else is needed along the way. Gotta make it to an island...

Perhaps they are planning to unleash the zombie apocalypse? If so, I hope I am prepared. Everyone has to ask themsleves, what will YOU do when the undead begin to roam the Earth, hungry for human flesh?

Nah.. ain't THAT bad. I don't think America is on the edge of some sort of cliff, perhaps staring into a wide, low valley is more a more accurate description. Some sort of slowdown/correction/depresssion was a long time coming anyway. Can't have lenders giving shit loans to people with no jobs...

I'm betting her handlers and prep-team are shitting bricks right about now.

Sure it's possible to imagine scenarios of life where the universal solvent of life for them is something like ammonia or sulfer-dioxide. They would be unfamiliar with liquid water on their planet. My point was simply that in order to understand how to create materials with advanced...

True.. but the fact that the Signs Et's were an ultra-advanced space faring race with mastery of technology means they would have to be well aware of common elements and the periodic table or else how could they create enormous starships. It would be like us being unaware that mercury is toxic...
