Agreed. Videos take too long, and frequently have ads.

I am delighted to see a post based on rational science without invective. I would comment that if someone is foolish enough top offer to subsidize my business, I would be foolish to not take advantage of it, so don't blame Tesla, blame the bureaucrats.

Yossef Bodaszky's "Secret History of the Iraq War" claims that Iraq had a significant functioning chemical weapons brigade, which ran across the border to Syria just before the war started. You may remember that similarly the whole Iraqi air force flew to Iran at the start of the Gulf war in 1990. Could this be where
Syria got the chemical munitions it used in the recent fighting?

Heard the same joke for My Fair Lady tickets aobut 1960.

Marines had a saying: It's God's job to judge Osama ben Laden. It's our job to make the appointment.

By aligning himself with the Ferguson protesters and his continued relationship with Sharpton, he has positioned himself as supporting black victimhood. Suggesting a civil rights investigation in Ferguson, or for Trayvon Martin is just stoking the fires of discontent which may have some justification but not for those events. I give him an D- for race relations.

I spoke to someone on 9/11 who said he was in WTC 3 when the first plane hit, and was evacuated. He saw American Airline boarding passes on the ground.

I have seen the employer response to a black name on a job application information before in a Gladwell book. I believe it, but had the following thought: If I had two applicants for a job, otherwise equal, both black, but one had a black name, the other a more white name, I would hire the one with the more white name on the grounds that black identity was likely more important in the black name applicant's home while growing up, which means he is more likely to be oversensitive and more likely to blame any criticism on my "racism" and call me a racist at the slightest provocation.
The other cases are less excusable.
