Anyone who thinks Atheists somehow don't appreciate the amazing miracle of life and the universe without attributing it to a creator never listened to Carl Sagan.— November 18, 2009 11:40 p.m.

BTW AG, I don't know where you get that. When has your arch enemy ever talked about scifi themes? Or said anything about General Hospital?— November 18, 2009 11:33 p.m.

I just realized how badly I missed the boat on this topic. Two of the best movies ever have female heroines: Alien and Terminator.— November 18, 2009 11:51 a.m.

There are a few good scifi books with female heroines. You could try "Friday" by Heinlein, or any of Elizabeth Moon's books. But the girls are usually more drawn to the fantasy side of things. Hence the goofy vampire movement going on right now. For female heroines in movies, look for something with Milla Jovovich.— November 18, 2009 11:35 a.m.
Hangin' on the Telephone
For you Pete: The Washington Post (11/18, Chandler) reports that Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) "announced Tuesday that the Virginia Education Department has launched a study of minority students' low participation in gifted education programs statewide." The Richmond Times-Dispatch (11/18, Meola) reports that the disparity was brought to Kaine's attention by the NAACP. In Virginia, "African-Americans make up 26 percent of the statewide student population," but only "12 percent of students identified as gifted are black, according to Education Department statistics." Meanwhile, "Hispanics make up 9 percent of the student population and 5 percent of students identified as gifted," and "Asians make up 5.5 percent of the statewide student population and 11 percent of students identified as gifted." Kaine is currently "reviewing changes to regulations governing gifted education in public schools." Kaine has asked the Virginia Education Department, "to analyze disproportionately low representation of minority students in gifted education. The study is to be done by spring 2010." New York City School Grades Show Race Disparity. The New York Times (11/18, A31, Medina, Gebeloff) reports that in New York City over the last three years, high schools "that received the lowest marks from the city have been the ones with the highest percentages of poor, black and Hispanic students, despite an evaluation system that was meant to equalize differences among student bodies, according to an analysis by The New York Times of school grades released this week." The Times notes that several of the city's "largest high schools that have struggled for years received low grades on the progress reports, and those schools have a high population of black and Latino students, as well as special education students and English language learners."— November 18, 2009 5:19 a.m.
Loosening Family Ties
One of my most prized possessions when I was younger was a form letter Heinlein sent to me in response to a fan letter I sent him. It was in the form of multiple choice, where he could check the responses he wanted to give me. It was 100% Heinlein. It kills me that I lost it somewhere along the way.— November 18, 2009 4:48 a.m.

I wonder, if we get to where medical science is this advanced, could you clone yourself a more attractive body, then transplant your brain into it? I'd like to be taller, tanner, and have a bigger schlong. That would be cool.— November 18, 2009 4:02 a.m.
