    I hope so. I'll certainly be happy to read Billy Beck's in-depth coverage of the monster. Also his coverage of her (its?) essential wickedness from before then...

    And wonder why he's, just as vigorously, neglected to point out the essential wickedness of George Bush.

    I seriously don't see Mrs Clinton as any worse than any of those grinning jackals - Giuliani, Thompson, McCain, and Romney - that nervously mock Ron Paul whenever they share the stage with him.

To ask a question alone would be enough to label one as mad." OK, this is garbage. First of all, it should be pre-Copernican, not pre-Galilean. But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC. It had generally been considered wrong, but not "mad." (And wrong for scientific reasons: Why, for instance, did we not observe stellar parallax?) And when Copernicus propose
