I might live there, too. Maybe. But what if it really was “Mom’s Without Borders”? My mom has few boundaries, so maybe this was just a statement of fact. Mom is without borders.

No Oil is a Problem too, but don't take my word... →
Some of you may have seen my earlier post on de-demonizing the People of the oil industry. This New York Times article goes into more precise detail about the numbers of people/sizes of communities effected. For example, “the moratorium could last well into 2011, directly jeopardizing 50,000 jobs;” and that’s just deepwater work, expand that to include local oil service...

The students read three pages of a chemistry text and then took the test on the material. All the texts were the same, but they were illustrated differently. One third of the students saw pictures in which everyone was a man. For another, there were only women in the...

in regards to my last post where I said the daily minutia of my life would be on twitter, I should clarify that most of what I post to twitter (and now tumblr, as well) is broadcast to facebook, so there is no reason to adopt that network if you have not and do not wish to do so. I do not post tweets ladened with @’s and #’s because readers on facebook have no desire to attempt to...
