Now that one of the great wankers of our era has turned out to be a serial adulterer as well, would it be possible for NPR to desist from quoting Niall Ferguson every time it runs a story even remotely connected to the problem of the US national debt?

Many people dont know yet that there is money on the internet. Earning a good amount of income online is possible. There are so many ways we could realize this and the opportunities are unlimited.

It is feasible to earn $20 to $25 per hour while filling out trial offers on these websites. Of all three choices, CashCrate seems to be the most user friendly and have the most available cash offers. But all three website offer a good opportunity to make money online.
Given that Rob has been ruminating lately about the US government’s defense strategy for twenty-first century wars, consider this set of interesting data on war casualties.

(The rest of the post is quite long and requires you already be interested in how to teach students how to acquire a credible academic ethos … but since a few of you emailed me saying you are interested in that, I’ll post the first fourth of it here.
