Here's a service whose inflation-adjusted price appears to be constant over millennia...

New interferometric radio telescope delivers high resolution (< 0.1 arcsecond) images...

The West's Libyan intervention was a disaster.  Foreshadowing for Obama's Syrian intervention?

DNC Chairman claims there are “dozens” of allies that will join our intervention in Syria – but then says she can't name them.  The Obama gang sure look lame when you compare this with Bush's stunning success corralling a coalition to invade Iraq...

An oasis in a volcano, in the middle of a desert, in the middle of nowhere (at right).  Known locally as the “Oasis of Mosquitoes”!
