Repairing Bad Memories — Hmm. No potential for abuse here.

Scientists Moving 15-Ton Magnet From NY to Chicago — I think this was one of my word problems in 8th grade math.
Puffed-up hot Jupiters may be getting an electric charge — New model suggests they're heated up by magnetic fields of solar wind.
The Pope’s Gay Panic — More moral bankruptcy from the greatest pedophilia shelter in history.
Why Dwindling Snow—Thanks Largely to Climate Change—Might Dry Out Los Angeles — I continue to be amazed at how liberal propaganda on climate change has fooled even reality itself. Thank God for Rush Limbaugh and the Republican Party, or this country might have been able to do something about the problem before it got much, much worse. Which would be a shame, because that would have meant liberals were right. Every good conservatives knows it's far better to drown Miami and dry out Los Angeles than let any part of the liberal agenda succeed.
What Sweden Can Tell Us About Obamacare — Last month, for the 37th time, the House of Representatives voted to repeal Obamacare, with many Republicans saying that its call for greater government involvement in the health care system spells doom. Yet most other industrial countries have health care systems with far more government involvement than we are ever likely to see under Obamacare. What does their experience tell us about Republican fears? Groundless paranoia has long been the conservative stock-in-trade on almost every issue — that's how you manufacture more angry white men, after all, which by the GOP's own admission is its key political strategy. Why should healthcare be any different?
Antonin Scalia Does Not Believe in Molecular Biology — Duh. He's a Republican. The GOP has spent the past decades very carefully and deliberately privileging willful ignorance over either science or evidence-based critical thinking. What else would we expect? (Via
