Ah, the Science Men. Remember when they asserted, absolutely positively, that if you were an animal, then you had no brain, and you could feel no pain? Seems like only yesterday. That's because it was.

But, these days, some of the Science Men, they are starting, dimly, to perceive, as through a glass darkly, that when it comes to understanding the animals, they understand nothing at all.

Like cats. And physics. Some Japanese Science Men, they have now learned that cats know physics. And that they've known physics a lot longer than have the humans. And that they know physics better, too.

Presidential Debates this Fall, wouldn't it be cool if Jill Stein (Green Party) was on stage

Right now, we are potentially looking at Presidential debates consisting of Hillary, Trump, and Gary Johnson (Libertarian). Johnson is polling in the 10+% range.

We have a possible progressive debate attendee in Jill Stein of the Green Party. She is currently polling around 5%.

Bernie Supporter John Wisniewski was summarily removed as a Jersey member of the DNC

Less than an hour after the Kumbaya first meeting of the NJ Delegation to the Democratic Convention, the pretty speeches about unity, and State Chair John Currie’s flattering words for Bernie Sanders’ NJ chair John Wisniewski, Wisniewski was summarily removed as a Jersey member of the DNC. This was by vote of the state committee, which met as soon as the delegates left the room; one meeting over, the next beginning.
