Exploitation
MIT says no
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is arguably one of the finest engineering schools in the country, if not the world. They do teach other subjects, I am sure, but their core strength is more STEM than liberal arts, right?

Friday extremes
Gotta tell you, when I read this column Fox News the first time, I started looking for a Babylon Bee byline (more B-alliteration to go with Wednesday’s column.) Y’all better find a seat, make sure your heart meds are up to date, and smelling salts are handy. Baltimore, that deathtrap at the top of […]
New Flotilla to Gaza

He has proclaimed himself the guardian of civil rights for military members and will staunchly settle out-of-court for any display of Christianity he deems […]

He says he beat the cops to the mall (disputing their timeline) and says he attempted to aid victims but that their […]
Vet highs and lows
Richard Fierro, a 14- or 15-year Army vet (news accounts vary) displayed commendable cojones at the Q nightclub shooting in Colorado Springs last week, grabbing one of the shooter’s guns and from the description striking said shooter about the head and body till he stopped. He said he grabbed the suspect’s pistol from him and […]
