RE: Kraft's attempted hostile takeover of Cadbury:Felicity Loudon, the granddaughter of former Cadbury Brothers managing director Egbert Cadbury, has also been an outspoken critic of any deal, saying she was "particularly saddened by the possibility of one of the last remaining British icons disappearing into an American plastic cheese company."

Down with Tyranny:Bill Owens isn't exactly my kind of Democrat. But in the end, he did pledge to support the public option and to support women's choice. We'll have to watch and see if he turns out any better than Scott Murphy has; he certainly couldn't be worse. But he did, quite improbably, beat back the teabagger rebellion that swamped the dominant Republican Establishment. The Republican

I know in blog time, this is pretty much like thinking about building a barn after the horses have run away, but Pinko linked to IBTP regarding the basic suckitude of teh internets. On the whole I agree, the internets sucks for the reasons Jill stated and patriarchal dynamics and double standards are huge problems in achieving true equality for women. There was a little language in her post that

Bill Donohue:Yesterday's radicals wanted to tear down the economic structure of capitalism and replace it with socialism, and eventually communism. Today's radicals are intellectually spent: they want to annihilate American culture, having absolutely nothing to put in its place. In that regard, these moral anarchists are an even bigger menace than the Marxists who came before them.Yesterday's

JP Morgan, paragon of virtue:One of them is JPMorgan Chase (JPM), whose chief executive, Jamie Dimon, has largely escaped the pitchforks aimed at his fellow Wall Street CEOs. Over the course of the financial crisis, JPMorgan Chase remained profitable, a pillar of relative stability in the midst of an earthquake. The bank absorbed the failed Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, while accepting $25

Time Magazine, Oct. 11:A world with nuclear weapons in it is a scary, scary place to think about. The industrialized world without nuclear weapons was a scary, scary place for real. But there is no way to un-ring the nuclear bell. The science and technology of nuclear weapons is widespread, and if nukes are outlawed someday, only outlaws will have nukes.Instead of fantasies about a nuke-free

Hi folks, it’s Science Friday today!For the most part, I tend not to do a lot of real science blogging, nor do I read science blogs all that much. Generally, the parts of my job that periodically fill me with wonder, fill everyone else with something more akin to the desire for suicide. But every once in a while an article comes around that is both way cool and relatively easy to explain why it

you have reaped ungodly profits in your behemoth casino scams, then lost, only to turn around and usurp the wealth of this great nation by the outright rape and pillage of middle class Americans' whose sweat and toil built it. The biggest ripoff in the history of the world is padding your bonus checks with the Federal Government as your co-conspirators. Every last one of you should be rotting in

behold Megan's enlightened commentators:Ditto to colins remarks. I never cared about the secret Muslim accusations (because I don't think it's relevant, and I'm one of the few that doesn't have a problem with a Muslim president, at least any more than I have with a christian one). But the socialist accusations don't seem to be that far off base...I don't care if he is a dirty Muslim, but being a

He's not even a Lieberman. (snag)I think they are products of the same system. They both believe in American exceptionalism and that we have the right to enforce that view on all others (if you don't believe that
