What I was looking for were truthful supporting statements not based on Adages, Common knowledge, or the candidate’s Personal record; in other words, evidence that could be cited (and was done so correctly); indicated something more than a superficial understanding of the issue; relevant; and true.
Unfortunately I quickly found that analyzing the ( Read more... ) -

THE NEXT MORNING, Va. (NP) -- Two hours sleep greeted with breakfast and the brio of brazen beagles begging for a treat. Alms for the four...legged! As the carnivorous canines clamber to the porch, the groom and trusty aide explore brimmingly sunlit grounds, spying the bright and busty Bruegelian boathouse. Lock the doors, boys! Nothing smells ( Read more... ) -

This may read as a bit morbid, but which celebrity death would surprise you the most? In other words, is there a celebrity you'd be really surprised to hear just up and died?
If I logged on to IMDB or turned on CNN and saw that Samuel L. Jackson had just died, I'd be pretty shocked; the same goes for Christopher Walken.

Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader: It's not worth watching to see how ignorant the adults are, rather it shows you how much of what we learn in school has no application in real life. Knowing that a blue whale is the largest animal on Earth makes decent cocktail chat, but how will it get you a paycheck? Employers pay for specialized knowledge, ( Read more... ) -

Today is Carl Barks's birthday. Had he not died in 2000 at the age of 99, he'd be 105. Anyone else who grew up loving Ducktales has him to thank; for nearly 60 years he was involved with Disney, most famously as author and illustrator of the 'Duck' comic books, and among his creations are Gyro Gearloose, Gladstone Gander, Flintheart Glomgold, ( Read more... ) -

“Gas is five cents cheaper at the Shell station outside of town.”
My car has a 12-gallon tank, if it were empty, then filling it at the Shell station outside of town would save me 60 cents - not even enough to wash my clothes.
The actual savings of purchasing cheaper gas are so low they shouldn’t merit consideration, and yet they do - why?
