Salt-Bomb Orthodoxy

I was unaware that there was once a special car for women. Personally, I'll have to differ with the author - I think that's quite a nice-looking car, much sleeker and racier-looking than the average 1950s car, and most of the commentators seem to agree. I love the comment to the effect that the only way it could be more awesome would be if it had a rocket launcher.

Another American child raped by illegals. The kicker is at the end, where they reveal that this is the third one this month.

NASA finally has a proper budget and mission again, and the Space Council is being revived! Also, the POTUS is open to the idea of launching Congress into space! :D

This may have been the case for some time, and I just haven't noticed, but all of the local grocery stores seem to carry fresh shiitakes now. When I was little, mushrooms were something that there were one kind of, and they came in a can. Produce in general has gotten so much more varied in my lifetime.

Dinosaurs came from Britain. And I applaud the return of ornithoscelida. The entire ornithiscian/sauriscian dichotomomy always seemed very arbitrary to me.

I never got to watch a Space Shuttle launch. I only saw the Endeavour on the launch pad a week and a half before it launched. It'll be exciting to see the manned space program spring back to life! Yes, Congress should be launched into space. ;)

That's a pretty snazzy car, one I never saw an ad for before. We'd like to think that ended in the Fifties (maybe it did for Chrysler Corp)

but last Fall, Cosmopolitan Magazine came up with this (http://www.adweek.com/creativity/cosmo-designed-car-women-and-thats-going-over-about-well-youd-expect-173601/) little entry. Not well received by the media.
