But if you're wondering whether she's got an existing national profile, the answer is yes. Also, the Atlantic has a really good piece on public university education in NYC today.

Speaking of Ted Cruz, has this thread congratulated him yet on his new position as chair of the Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness? Hooray  Under his surefooted, strong leadership, I foresee great things coming up for the scientific community of America! By which I of course mean a whole lot of scientists losing their funding so he has something to blame on Obama in service of his own political career. God bless America

If we were in a slightly better financial situation plus a tax credit that would certainly help. To make it clear: we would like to have another child but we can't afford it.

So is he going to push for a larger budget to go with that? Otherwise that'll still be a whole lot of nothing NASA will be doing.

It's quite likely that he will because NASA is based in Texas and very little of what they do actually effects people at home. Now, something like NOAA that reports on pesky things like climate change, on the other hand...

Manned spaceflight is headquartered in Texas, while the parts of NASA doing some of the most expensive parts of climate change research are not in Texas. You only mess with NOAA when you are on the weather channel's payroll.

No, your post was dumb. There is no meaningful difference in the Democrats ability to pass legislation before or after the 2014 election. Your dumb posting assumes that 2014 was somehow relevant to their ability to pass this legislation: once we know that is not true then your theory about the causal chain of events here collapses. That doesn't fit in your paranoid worldview so you're grasping at straws regarding the Senate. evilweasel fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Jan 13, 2015 |

Bernie Sanders is trying to get Senators to publicly vote on whether they believe climate change is real. It probably won't get to the floor, but it's a nice little piece of trolling.
