"I actually have kids that go to a school in the town near this one. I'm fairly sure I know the former principal of this school too - he was my 6th grade teacher, in fact. The real issue in this area (and maybe in your area too) is that parents are no longer parents. Parents so desperately want to be their kid's best friend that they excuse and allow any and all behavior. I HATE going to school events because the parents are more annoying than the kids for the most part. These parents ignore every instance of bad behavior from their kids (because of course it's not their kid's fault) and cheer them on as if participation in an event = winning the event. So you have idiotic kids that think they can do whatever they want without any ramifications. Unfortunately because parents DON'T monitor what their kids are doing (which is part of being an actual parent) the kids are allowed to do whatever they want without learning right and wrong. The parents abdicate all responsibility and make the..." - Paul Griswold

I really seriously think that anyone who likes Obama would be in terror of him doing that. Possibly the dumbest president ever based on his actions so far in office. - Paul Griswold

He's a Columbia and Harvard graduate, I am sure he has the book smarts which would be included on such a test - Ryan

Hey Jim - my suggestion is, talk to @erniemosteller from Brunner Digital @BRUNNERworks - Paul Griswold

And where does the gov't get $4,500 for each car? The country is already broke - Obama admitted it in a recent interview. So where does all this magical money come from?? - Paul Griswold

straight from the printing presses! - John Blanton from twhirl

"Interesting, but dead wrong. I've met with one of the founders of Hezbollah in Iran and I can tell you for a fact that you don't have a clue what you're talking about. He told me specifically that the goal is, was and always will be 2 things - 1. the destruction of Israel and of all Jewish people. 2. the destruction of the United States. He told me how he spent 20 years training militants on nothing but how to accomplish these two things. While he visited we had to deal with constant security issues - he's now a wanted man because he's speaking out about what is truly going on there. If you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend that Iran is not going to be a problem, you're a complete fool." - Paul Griswold

wow - Jason Calacanis

What a riot. How many episodes of this show are there? I've never heard of it. - Paul Griswold

"This movie was like Lucas and Spielberg got together and decided to make a movie that was LIKE an Indy movie, but not actually try very hard. The entire alien plot is way outside the realm of the first 3 movies - those all dealt with spiritual realms of fantasy. Bringing in Area51 and the whole alien plot just wrecked it for me. Had they gone with a plot where the crystal skull had some sort of archaeological significance and then added in a spiritual/fantasy element to it, the film would have fit right in with the other 3. But this was just Indy meets Close Encounters. Additionally, there were so many simply poorly written elements - the thing is "magnetic" but only to certain things at certain times (which just so happen to fit that particular moment of the plot). Indy has always had moments of "that's totally impossible, but I'm going to let it go because it's a movie" but they always were at least barely plausible. This one had moments where it was just plain silly - swinging with..." - Paul Griswold

It was entertaining, but I was disappointed to see them go SO over-the-top. Also, the movie was filled with too many winks and nods to the first 3 movies to seemingly appease the fanboys. Including Indy looking longingly at the picture of his dead father that looked like it was taken the day before shooting began. Too much. It was also disturbing to see Karen Allen smiling so much in the movie no matter what the situation. You could tell she was really happy to be in such a big movie. - Vince DeGeorge

"Yeah, you're exactly right. That's why India, China, Africa, etc. would all be exempt from the Kyoto protocol. China and India are some of the biggest polluters on the world with terrible human rights records and working conditions for the poorest members of their societies." - Paul Griswold

That's brilliant! ATM we're using Handipoints.com for my kids.. - Paul Griswold

Leo, it looks nice but what do you have for cooling? With lights, that's gonna be quite a hot studio! - Paul Griswold

Could have been worse...just think what would have happened if you'd given out the # via TWiT! lol - Jeff Garlick

omg, he might have to even change his number now! - Chris Harris

That'll learn him to question the TWiT Army. - Paul Griswold

interesting. How is this better than say DropBox? - Paul Griswold

"Dr. Russ Humphreys reported on the measurements of helium diffusing (leaking) out of zircon crystals. The helium is produced by radioactive decay, but over time it can leak out of the crystals. If the zircons were billions of years, there should be very little helium left since it would have had plenty of time to diffuse away, yet there is still a tremendous amount of helium in the zircons—consistent with an age of about 6,000 years. The current amount of helium in the zircons, and the measured rate of helium diffusion show that a lot of radioactive decay has happened (to produce so much helium) and that it must have happened quickly in the recent past (otherwise the helium would have had time to escape). Dr. John Baumgardner reported on the detection of 14C in coal and in diamonds. Since 14C is a short-lived radioisotope, it cannot survive for millions of years. This is compelling evidence that these diamonds and coal deposits are thousands of years old at most. In particular, the..." - Paul Griswold
