nonissue


WHY is it still an oddity to see women in executive positions? get. over. it.

Explosives make everything better


That might not be true, but I certainly do enjoy them. Cai Guo-Qiang is a revolutionary artist who deserves all the accolades he receives... China is on the rampage.

.genius


Modular functions were first discovered by the Indian mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. He has been compared to a bursting supernova, illuminating the darkest, most profound corners of mathematics, before being tragically struck down by tuberculosis at the age of 33. Scattered throughout his notebooks are sets of very obscure equations called modular functions. These are some of the strangest equations ever found and appear only in distant, unrelated branches of mathematics. One of these modular functions, called the Ramanujan function in his honor, appears in string theory as the underlying mathematical theory that shows how strings vibrate in 10 and 26 dimensions.

It's painful

There is absolutely no constitutional reason why the government (by way of the IRS) should be allowed to restrict freedom of speech within the church.

The original intended relationship between religion and government has been extorted and bastardized into what the ACLU and others prefer it to be.

My friend tried to convince me that the ACLU is "the defender of the Bill of Rights" – that is bullshit. They would never defend any constitutional right (such as freedom of speech from the pulpit), unless it serves their own purposes. The cases they defend never stray from an easily ascertained agenda of ideals. I could make my claim more detailed, perhaps I will later.

But here is the ACLU's response. http://blog.aclu.org/2008/09/12/adf-advice-to-churches-violate-the-tax-law/ They don't seek to right the transgressions of the IRS code, they don't even discuss the issue... they only seek to undermine the credibility of the sponsoring organization (ADF).
