    \n
  1. Schoolkids Guess the Ancient Gadgets and Get It All Adorably Wrong<\/a> – Yeah … well I wonder what things they are all so familiar with in their youth will be crazy antiquities thirty years from now?<\/li>\n
  2. Isaac Asimov on the Greenhouse Effect: 1989<\/a> – Not sure which is more remarkable, hearing the greenhouse effect and global warming described over two decades ago, or finding out that that<\/b> is what Isaac Asimov sounded like.<\/li>\n
  3. The Reason Why You Never Get Your UPS Packages On Time [Video]<\/a> – Yeah, it sure seems this way sometimes.<\/li>\n
  4. Republicans scramble for credit on the economy<\/a> – If things continue to improve, I expect this to be a major (crazy) talking point in 2012.<\/li>\n

  10. Lost Republican Wisdom<\/a> – Ike, sadly, couldn’t get elected as a Republican to state legislature today, let along President. Hell, some Democrats in DC would consider him a dangerous radical.<\/li>\n

  12. Street Prophets: Is Bishop Rene Gracida Going for Another Coughie?<\/a> – People who inject religion into politics are welcoming the injection of politics into religion. Is that what Jesus would really do?<\/li>\n
