Age of EnlightenmentThe Age of Enlightenment, or simply The Enlightenment, is a term used to describe a time in Western philosophy and cultural life, centered upon the eighteenth century, in which reason was advocated as the primary source and legitimacy for authority.Developing more or less simultaneously in Germany, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, and buoyed by the North American colonists‘ successful rebellion against Great Britain in the American War ofIn the midst of one of the greatest existential threats of our times, President Obama is pursuing severe reductions in US military strength . His recent statements at the United Nations have merely added fuel to the fire . When combined with his pledge to reduce US nuclear weapons stockpiles by 80 percent , a clear pattern emerges . These actions would seem irrational, even by Obama’s standards, if they weren’t in keeping with a 50-year old strategy aimed at unilate

A bit of a replay from what I wrote earlier but with significant additions. Q. I'm intrigued by the way President Obama performs on television. He may lie but he does it so convincingly he could pass a lie detector test. Is this style something new in politics or what? Take for instance his recent appearance on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. A. Understand, all politicians shade the truth. The greatest advocate for one side of an equation I ever knew was I am thrilled to report that U.S. Patent 7,587,349 was granted on September 8, 2009, and I am named as a co-inventor! This has been more than 4 years in the making. My first job out of grad school in January 2005 was at Digitas as a Senior Interaction Designer, and one of my first projects was to devise a way to display all of American Express ‘ charge and credit cards across a network of bank issuers .

Dictionary and Thesaurus:Enough already. The Global Committee to Defend Roman Polanski is shocked and appalled by the arrest of their talented friend in Switzerland over the weekend. This quote from our colleague Bruce Crumley's report from France provides a flavor of the outrage: "To see him thrown to the lions and put in prison because of ancient history Roman Polanski raped a child. Let's just start right there, because that's the detail that tends to get neglected when we start discussing whether it was fair for the bail-jumping director to be arrested at age 76 , after 32 years in "exile" . Let's keep in mind that Roman Polanski ga

Republicans from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence say that they will no longer participate in an investigation into the Bush administration's interrogation policies, arguing that they were all for investigations until Attorney General Eric Holder outrageously called for investigations . Investigations are one thing, but investigations are another matter entirely, a discombobulated Sen. Christopher Bond told the Washington Post. "Had Mr. Holder honored the pledge madAnd I am proud to say that the United States has done more to promote clean energy and reduce carbon pollution in the last eight months than at any other time in our history. – B.

Just announced by committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein : “I very much regret the fact that the Republican side of the Intelligence Committee has chosen not to continue to participate in the Committee’s study and investigation into the detention and interrogation of high-value detainees. However, that study and investigation is being pursued, additional staff are being hired, and the Committee is continuing the work with all due diligence.” For a not-yet-online CQ piece, Tim StarKit Bond has removed himself from the Senate Intelligence Committee's review of Bush-era terrorist interrogation techniques , perhaps because he didn't like what he was finding. Bond had been working with Sen. Dianne Feinstein since March on a investigation of interrogation policies, but Bond now says he's seen enough. Bond says his move comes in response to Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to appoint a prosecutor to investigate alleged CIA interrogation abuses, including e

Ever wished your favorite movies were documentaries instead of narratives? That Morgan Freeman didn’t just offer a few prose passages between Red’s time in Shawshank but pretty much read Stephen King’s story on an audio track? Or maybe Christopher Walken voicing over the Deerhunter? Really the choices are endless and, to sweeten the pot, imagine the things you’d learn about the characters. Guess what? Apparently the History Channel is doing that now. At least they did it for Kingdom of Heaven, t“Why the US Economy CAN’T Recover” by Jeff Nielson "The U.S. propaganda-machine now reports on a daily basis that a “U.S. economic recovery” is underway – despite not one piece of evidence to support this “bold assertion” . Let's start with a definition of “recovery” suitable to the current, economic context: economic “recovery” means the economy is returning to a previous level of economic activity. In other words, with an economy which has shrunk by more

LABOUR/FABIANS- FABIANS HAVE NO INTEREST IN WHAT ORDINARY PEOPLE NEED OR WANT- IT’S WHAT FABIANS WANT -THATS’ ALL THEY STRIVE FOR BEHIND THEIR MASKS’ FABIAN FREEWAY By Rose Martin, published 1966 Note: The Women’s Group carries used copies of the terribly important book. Rose Martin did the U.S. and freedom a real service by writing this book. In my opinion, it is more important than Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope. This is an excerpt that Joan Veon did to help her with her research. Few companies have seen the ups and downs of the media industry like R.H. Donnelley . BIA/Kelsey President Neal Polachek asked Directonal Media Strategies Day 2 key note Speaker Dave Swanson, RHD chairman and CEO, to speak about what’s happened and what’s ahead for his company and the industry. The audience was treated to an honest, passionate and extremely eloquent perspective. “We are in an industry where the definition of good is doing less bad,” Swanson said. His view is the good news t

Barack Obama spoke to the UN this morning on the topic of climate change, in part to take credit for pushing the US towards the state-run energy paradigm that Europe has begun to regret. After the obligatory “no one before us had the wisdom to think we could change the weather” opening, Obama makes a couple of odd — and eminently refutable — claims about his presidency:Thank you very much. Good morning. I want to thank the Secretary General for organizing this summit, and all the leaders who transitive verb pursued-·sued′, pursuing-·su′·ing. to follow in order to overtake, capture, or kill; chase; to proceed along, follow, or continue with , you see this sort of thing a lot. “I’m gay, and I don’t want to be.” “I’m kinky, and I don’t want to be.” “I have a fetish, and I don’t want to.” “I don’t want to want what I want.” Now, despite what some may think about us sex-positive advocates, I’m not going to reflexively say, “Oh, just go for it.” I don’t necessarily think that everything we want is good, or good for us.

Human beings are naturally endowed with the ability to reason, but that reason is a far cry from a belief in a world governed by immutable natural laws. This is why I consider scientific education to be very important on a societal level; ignorance and fear combined with credulity can lead to devastating consequences: the bloody period of witch hunting in Europe resulted in somewhere between 4
