Cuban pitching sensation Aroldis Chapman finally pitched a couple innings for the Reds and the results look pretty good.
Now hopefully he’ll be given the time to develop his talent and gain some strength before Dusty Baker kills his arm.
The Cheney crime family cannot be taken seriously whenever they talk about values or defending America. Most of us have known this for years, but conservatives are slowly coming to the same revelation. Here’s the latest damning evidence.
Equality makes the best societies, not the relentless and cutthroat pursuit of wealth.
You know, this is something Christians should automatically know. That is, if they actually read their bibles instead of beating people over the head with them.
So, now we know. Neat story though.
I have having a conversation with someone the other day and this story from Marketplace came to mind. Basically, it concerns the destruction of forests in Montana thanks to milder winters there in recent years.
The lack of good solid cold snaps is letting a native beetle species flourish and destroy large tracts of pine trees. Granted, Montana may have two Democratic senators and a governor, but it’s a pretty conservative place. Without being too giddy about it, I’m pretty sure these folks are reaping what they sowed when mocking climate change news. Now it is in their backyards, literally.
Sometimes it takes a harsh lesson to learn truth and put aside politically motivated myth, and this *is* a hard one to learn at that. Hopefully these folks will teach their conservative brethren the fallacy of their rhetoric. I mean, Georgia is turning into a desert and that hasn’t changed any minds.
In short, conservatives need to get on board and help address the threats that affect ALL of us. Too bad that you can look at the majority of the commenters on this story and still see a lot of kool aid drinkers.
Honestly, when our economy fails and the ecology collapses, I won’t have one iota of humanity left for these bastards. I hope they starve outside whatever front door I have while I help protect those who actually realize that our actions have consequences. Let those whose greed destroy our world suffer for their misdeeds.
Gustavo Arellano on the importance of supporting Mexican trade crafts, especially in this time of recession and narco wars down there.
I’m sure a pack of nativist bastards will attack him for the article, but it’s a good sentiment, as well as good for the folks who work hard and are having a hard time gaining any benefit from it.
A great look at the dollars and cents of health care reform versus just making shit up.
Yes, health care reform is going to cost a lot to set up. It is also going to save us a lot of money once it is up and running. That’s the projections from the guys with slide rules and charts and such.
As for Bush, the so-called fiscal conservative? He just rammed a bunch of tax cuts for the rich down our throats and a ton of unfunded mandates and a couple wars. We’ll be the better part of this century paying for his bad ideas.
Republicans are filthy, dirty people who can’t win an election without insulting their own supporters and preying on their racist and bigoted fears to generate votes.
Nothing new there, just glad their planning documents reflect what we’ve always known.
Some white teachers in LA thought it would be funny to celebrate OJ, Dennis Rodman, and Ru Paul as African-American “heroes” during Black History Month.
Yes folks, racism still exists.
Pooping your way to sustainable agriculture in the poorest nations in the world.
An idea whose time have come apparently.
Science!
