Firing Employees Because Obama Was Elected May Be a Felony
I wrote before the election about a group of CEOs who, prompted
by their candidate, sent a series of threats to employees that, if
President Obama were reelected, they'd have no choice but to (pick one)
a. shut down, b. do layoffs, or c. move to another country. I wondered
the day after the election why there hadn't been a wave of corporate
shutdowns. But one guy actually did what he threatened.
Harpering
All politicians can be bullies. But Stephen Harper has perfected
the art. In fact, Michael Harris writes, he's been so good at it that
his band of bullying deserves its own name -- Harpering. Harris then
goes on to list several of Harper's victims. But he also reminds his
readers of one of the victims who fought back and is still fighting back

Waffle House/Wheel Of Fortune
This Waffle House sign I saw in the Houston area a few days ago with a

I’ve not seen Wheel of Fortune lately, but apparently this season marks
30 years of the show.

Conceiving the Laser-Fusion Starship
When young Rod Hyde, fresh out of MIT, started working on
starship design in mid-1972, there were not many fusion-based precedents
for what he was up to. He had taken a summer job that would turn into a
career at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, but right off the bat
he was involved with Lowell Wood and John Nuckolls in a concept that
would use a battery of lasers to create fusion reactions

Climate Crisis: Do The Math
The night after the election, my climate-crisis activism group,

politicians but the fossil fuel industry. That should give you some

with Barack Obama safely returned, we can expect only incremental
progress—nothing at all on the scale necessary to cope wit
