All performers know that after all the practice and training, to pull off a great performance on stage, one has to be 100% positive that it is pleasurable to be on stage. In other words, despite the butterflies in the stomach and the fear of failure, the minute one steps out into the public eye, one has to be confident and filled with the joy of becoming something more than a mere person, to be transformed into something magical. Figure skater Sasha Cohen has lost this.

A group of retired generals who understand history and the reasons for the Geneva Conventions are demanding Scalia recuse himself from ruling on a Gitmo case. The idea that we need the rules of war to protect ourselves has been forgotten by the neo-fascists running America.

My baby chicks picked their way out of their blue egg shells. The people hatching them in Texas then put them all in a small cardboard box with some shavings to keep them warm and sent them, only a few hours old, to my farm in New York.

The religious and colonial wars which was launched when Europeans invaded the Ottoman Empire, is a multi-level war that has triggered vast wars in Europe, WWI and WWII, and they continue to rage and will produce WWIII.

Worse, 2,000 years ago when Rome subjegated the place by removing or killing much of the native population, worse, 3,000, 8,000 years ago when early sheep herding tribes attacked the very first farmers at Jericho.

As America flounders in a sea of blood, trying to make deals with some Middle Eastern Muslim countries while killing other Muslims, China shows how pure merchantile business can reap great rewards without killing anyone.

Scientists have documented how children’s brains grow at different rates and the ones of very bright children mature slower and peak several years later than children of less intelligence.

Fashion “designers” (thieves) are demanding Congress pass draconian laws giving them exclusive rights over things they claim they design (har) and have applications of colors or materials copyrighted. This is stupid, insane and plain dumb. They are doing this so they can charge ridiculous prices for junk.
