Law school is way too expensive. And only the federal government can fix that. By David Lat April 8 There’s no shortage of lawyers in this country. Only 57 percent of 2013 law school graduates obtained full-time legal jobs nine months after graduation. Yet the federal government...

Don't matter nohow. You don't have to be a credentialed expert to be right. And you certainly don't need to be one to review the work done for consistency and credibility. It's a false trail, waldo, a red herring. No point chasing it.

That actually doesn't matter. You don't need a degree to do or understand science. Thomas Edison did OK without one. So does an inventor friend of mine who dropped out of Princeton because they kept telling him he couldn't do things he knew he could. And he was right. I'm rethinking this...

Heh-heh. You probably don't even get that you just proved my point.

No, it's me claiming that we don't know. Reading comp is a challenge for some folks. Usually ones that use lots of exclamation marks. Y'know, waldo, you're obviously quite intelligent and well informed. I'd be happy to actually thrash this out with you. But your emotional deficiencies make...

You mean like. . . "that you absolutely have nothing subject matter related to offer... other than posting nonsense and insults, ya gots nuthin! That's what I'm talking about, hey!" Yeah, you're an intellectual powerhouse, you are. I had an interesting, informative, polite debate with...

You're the one making the claim. The burden of proof is on you.

I think he wants to use the revenues from carbon credits to help Frodo and Samwise get the One Ring to Mount Doom. Which I have to agree with, actually. I'm very pro-hobbit.

OK, so now post your data on the 99+% of plant life that isn't agricultural.

Seriously? Agriculture? You seriously believe that agriculture is a significant factor in plant growth? With 90% of the CO2-absorbing, oxygen-emitting plants being sea plants, and 90+% of the land plants on the planet being wild, non-agricultural plants, you honestly think that the <1% of...

Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? --Abraham, Romeo & Juliet

I did, but you obviously missed it. There are many, many factors aside from the ones you list that affect global temperatures. We don't even know what causes ice ages. They're a global temperature variation I'm not willing to blame Ford Motor Company for. The sun is a variable star, we just...

So get back to us when they identify and quantify the other factors. That's science.

Already addressed the science. It amounts to saying atmospheric carbon is the only factor in global temperatures. Which is demonstrably ridiculous. But when all you got is a hammer, every problem needs a nail.

Yeah, once you strip off the plastic (or hemp) and get down to the model, the Church of Mother Nature ain't no different from the Church of the Beardy Old Guy In a Nightshirt Sitting On a Cloud Smiting Folk. Both have perfect, good, kind, divine being that loves us and kills folk regularly...

Close, but I find that most lefty shriekers are basically human hating. Carbon's just the latest boogey man. Before that it was pollution, deforestation, what have you. The whole attack on Mother Gaia. Apparently a dam made by beavers to improve their lives is natural, and a dam made by...

Not bad generally, but what on earth do the IPCC head's sexual proclivities and Al Gore's business dealings have to do with global warming?

Transgender in the military: A Pentagon in transition weighs its policy By Juliet Eilperin April 9 at 8:03 PM Over the past decade, Sgt. Shane Ortega has served three combat tours: Two in Iraq, one in Afghanistan. Two as a Marine and one in the Army. Two as a woman and one as a man. Ortega...
