Good article, but would be better if they were aware of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks theory of "altruistic evil." His book "Not in God's Name" is one of the best on the subject.

Sounds like the perfect subject for a Bruegel "Landscape with fall of Icarus" remake.

What if AMH newborns were slightly "premature" in comparison to Neanderthals (related to the narrower maternal pelvis)? If AMH infants were more helpless than Neanderthals, maybe the hybrids were more likely to survive if born to an AMH. Not sure where I saw that idea but it was years ago.

Do you think the "dropped out of the residency" thing could have been other than voluntary? Four 1/2 years into a 5-year residency seems like a strange time to lose faith in medicine.

So he had a lot of options? Even a few real options, things he could do that would have stopped them? Details, please.

She is not his niece and nothing else about the story is plausible.

You mean Stone? He does know how to not leave a trail.

If Santayana was so smart, why did he approve of fascism?

How is it that she writes idiomatic English, when she doesn't speak it?

Stephen Miller knew she was out of his league.

Somebody got bad directions to the Renaissance Fair.

Oh don't I wish! When he comes to the Northern Tier, it's Republicans only. Ask him about that if you get a chance.

Trump reminiscing about his childhood reminds me of the dying HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. "My instructor was Mr. Langley. He taught me a song. Would you like to hear it?"

HC is a smoke bomb, not a nerve gas. We would know from legitimate sources if ICE had nerve gas. The CWC of 1993 outlawed even research on nerve gas. The Geneva Convention outlawed its use many decades earlier.

I wish someone would tell him that ultrasounds are not care, only a diagnostic tool. It sounds like they are using them as triage which is a way to have fewer women ever see a doctor.

Colonel Klink.

Imperial games at the Circus Maximus.

I never worried about whether Walter Cronkite trusted me to hear him.

Maybe they found blood in his stool and told him to come back for a cancer workup.

Sometimes I think about how much better Marlene Dietrich did that female drag look, with Nazi accent.

That could be adapted to almost any store!

Sounds like he needs to get those hemorrhoids checked out.

Point taken, although George Lucas is said to have taken that hairstyle from the fighting women of the Mexican Revolution. They didn't have full beards but they were definitely not Carrie Fisher.

He is talking like he thinks the war is over. You don't suppose he does?

Trump did not "give the military the green light," he ORDERED them into a sovereign country. What is the matter with you?

I feel like Hitler just invaded Poland.

I just hope my neighbors dying trees can hold up to this wind.

No one will resent having people on either side hog the armrest. Genius.

We just didn't realize how serious he was when he promised retribution. That too may be on the verge of collapse but not soon enough.

I have no motive to defend Trump, but the claim that he was present when the uncle murdered the newborn child and disposed of it in Lake Michigan suggests that the whole thing is delusional.
