By Thoreau

I thought about titling this review of The Green Hornet (3D IMAX version), “From Ritual to Bromance,” because a major thing it’s about is that, if you’re like me, you can’t remember who played the title character in the short-lived 1960s TV series without looking it up, but you damn sure remember that Fucking Bruce […] By Thoreau One thing that’s been fascinating for this non-expert to read about is the human microbiome, and how it affects many aspects of our health, disease, and development. Genetics today is rather humbling: We only know the function of about 1.5% of the DNA in our cells, there’s another 5.5% that seems to have […] By Thoreau Wikileaks is a reckless and irresponsible organization that is willing to dump massive quantities of data without any vetting or filtering. They’re also a bunch of vain, hypocritical show-boaters who are willing to release data slowly and with vetting, so you only get the piece of the story that they and their journalistic […] By Thoreau Anderson Cooper is obviously not a Serious Person if he expects to get away with saying stuff like this: But, Ben, we have seen plainclothes policemen, thugs basically, beating protesters, taking them away.

I talked about undergraduate […] By Thoreau The single most important part of grad school is, of course, procrastination. These students have taken it to a new level. Bravo. However, now that I’m older and wiser, or at least older and more sanctimonious, I must respond to the part where they sing “I want a job, and I wanna be […] By Thoreau Several things: 1) If California lawmakers are so appalled by the cost of providing healthcare to prison inmates, perhaps they should consider ways to lock up fewer people. Those of us who supported Prop. 19 certainly did our part to try to alleviate some of the problem. In addition to ending the punishment […] By Thoreau The Temecula City Council ignored the bigoted opposition and unanimously approved a building permit for construction of a mosque. As long as I’m saluting people who serve their country, I must salute the Temecula City Council for defending our way of life as Americans. |
