We need a new word to describe extreme disappointment

Well, here we go, these magically appeared in my pool today...

I thought it would be fun to help the DNC come up with their 2016 earth shattering one word slogan to unite the zombic masses. Hope, Change, and Forward have all been used, it is time to come up with an all new inspiring word. Come one, come all ye wordsmiths.

Russian scientists claimed Wednesday they have discovered blood in the carcass of a woolly mammoth, adding that the rare find could boost their chances of cloning the prehistoric animal. Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2013-05-russian-scientists-rare-blood-mammoth.html

As we all know the left is constantly crushing us with the use of language, and conservatives constantly get outflanked because they seem to be incapable of making an effective communication of our ideas. Consequently, when it comes to tax arguments, the left is effective at generating class warfare because the "rich" do not pay enough. I want to change the meme on that argument from one which resolves around money (which is easily demagogued) to one about labor and time. People who own their own businesses or who are salary rarely if ever work your standard 40 hour work...

This is a cool video of the ISS flying from Mexico to New Brunswick Canada. You can see the Aurora Borealis in the distance. As you get further north, it is easier to tell what is what, and you can clearly make out Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Detroit (which surprisingly has a lot of lights, but the lights could be Windsor), Buffalo, Toronto, Montreal, and even Fredrikton. You can see most of the great lakes, the St Lawrence River, and at the very end you can see the Gaspee peninsula of Quebec, and my favorite place I have worked,...

So the debate’s not over after all. We’d pay for ringside seats. From Politico: Ralph Nader put on his Don King hat Monday with the hope of inspiring a made-for-TV showdown between two Capitol Hill stalwarts on global warming. The consumer activist and former presidential candidate pitched the idea of Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe meeting Democratic Rep. Ed Markey in a 90-minute televised debate on the ins and outs of climate change science and policy.

From: The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley 30 March 2009 The Hon. Representative Ed Markey, and The Hon. Representative Joe Barton, Committee on Energy and Commerce, US House of Representatives, Washington, DC. Gentlemen, Questions raised by the Subcommittee on Energy & Environment I am most grateful for the fairness and good humor with which Chairman Markey conducted the hearing of 26 March 2009 on the question of adaptation to “global warming”. The calibre, commitment, and concern of Hon. Gentleladies and Gentlemen on both sides of the House were self-evident.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Current Media Inc., the television and Internet firm co-founded by Al Gore with the intention of "democratizing media," has shelved plans for an initial public offering of its stock. San Francisco-based Current said in a public filing on Friday that it has requested the withdrawal of an IPO registration statement initially filed in January of 2008. "In light of current market conditions, the registrant has determined not to proceed at this time with the public offering," the filing read. In its IPO registration filing, updated in May of last year, "participatory media company" Current said its...

I have thought of a way to reduce the homeless problem of many cities. Perhaps we can charter a bus or two in each city, and peruse the homeless areas. We can offer each urban outdoorsman 20 dollars and a bottle of thunderbird, if they take a ride on the bus. Each bus will then leave said city, and head west to deposit the urban outdoorsmen upon the shining steets of Berkley, California.

I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I heard somewhere that there are more non-US troops in Iraq than in Afghanistan. I don't know if that is true, however does anyone have a breakdown on how many troops from what countries are in Iraq, and Afghanistan? Also if you have the same information on Bosnia, that would be great too. I want to compare what a unilateral war, versus a multilateral war is.

I was wondering what you guys think of the term "Internationalist Socialist" to describe todays current crop of loony liberals. Nationalist Socialists was already taken, and todays crop are certainly anything but Nationalists.
