The Science Of Why You Are So Upset About Cecil The Lion And Not Billions Of Other Animals

This "science" is not science. The outrage is not because he killed an iconic animal with a name. The outrage is because he killed an animal with no other purpose than to brag about killing an animal. There would be as much outrage if he shot a mut in the street and then publicized it as a brave event.

"However, they had also stumbled on an ominous finding. In addition to Apophysomyces, the Kansas City physicians identified multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria in the patients' wounds. As if an F-5 tornado and flesh-eating fungus were not enough, the scientists surmised that because the tornado struck farmland, agricultural antibiotic use among cattle and other livestock may have played a role in exposing these victims to yet another deadly peril." It's a hostile environment out there. Batten down your hatches.

How to Make Pizza, the New York (a.k.a. Right) Way - Bon Appétit

My personal New York pizza story. On my first business trip to the USA from South Africa in the 60's, a colleague and I went into a pizza place. We ordered two pizzas. In Johannesburg a pizza was rarely larger than 6 inches. The waiter looked at us as if we were crazy. "One pizza is enough" We said "No, we are hungry" He said "Lookit - one is enough. If you want another, it's on the house!" Who can resist a deal like that? The pizza arrived, it was great, and was HUGE.

"Well, in something that almost sounds like satire (even though it isn’t), GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush criticized President Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry for being too intelligent. “You don’t have to be the world’s policemen, but you have to be the world’s leader and there’s a huge difference,” Bush said. “This guy, this president and Secretary Clinton and Secretary Kerry, when someone disagrees with their nuanced approach where it’s all kind of so sophisticated it makes no sense. You know what I’m saying?” “Big syllable words, lots of fancy conferences and meetings,” he continued." Being stupid is the continuing Bush family strategy for the world. How well did that work out in Iraq?

"How does he have the power to elect Clinton all by himself? By running as an independent. Two factors usually prevent candidates who lose nominations from running as independents.

Two, they have a sense of proportion and decency, and they figure that if primary voters rejected them, it’s time to go home. Well, Trump has the dough and lacks the decency. "
