There are many reasons Dr. Oz shouldn't run the Medicare program. Here's a big one.

I, once, bought a used car from Bernie Sanders.

You wouldn't believe what happened.

An important thing about Elon Musk that’s widely known in tech circles but perhaps not in the wider world: he’s an ignoramus.

His technical knowledge is shallow and careless, full of parroting and fantasizing.

People who’ve worked on the small amount of code he actually wrote long ago describe his work as an unskilled mess.

At every company he runs, there are teams of people devoted to keeping him away from the engineers, who largely succeed to the extent that he forgets they exist.

Here is a little movie that was quite the talk back in 87.

Inner Space. I have seen it a few times. It is kind of funny and corny. As a kid in the 80s, it was really exiting.

Still a great movie.

In January, Donald Trump -- who has cultivated politics of anger that is not uncommon in our world -- will be inaugurated for the second time as president of the United States. Such a politics of anger is present in many countries, including across Europe .

There is a temptation among liberals to characterize this politics of anger as fascism, but this is not accurate. ----

Vijay Prashad: Swimming in Mud in 5th Circle of Hell

Instead of solving the problems of the majority, the "far right of a special type" — a right that is intimately tied to liberalism — cultivates a politics of anger.
