9/11, Steven Jones, and Me — Part 3

From LDS PATRIOT Don’t you just love egg nog? Me too.

by Mau­reen DowdTHE NEW YORK TIMES The only sects that may be more sav­age than Shi­ites and Sun­nis are the Demo­c­ra­tic fem­i­nist law­mak­ers rep­re­sent­ing North­ern and South­ern Cal­i­for­nia.

Now, nearly two cen­turies after Stephenson’s “Rocket” steam loco­mo­tive helped usher in the Indus­trial Rev­o­lu­tion, that same coal could be the fuel that keeps the jet age aloft. But with a twist: [...]

He seeks to spot­light what he sees as West­ern hypocrisy on issue by Michael Slack­manTHE NEW YORK TIMES Cairo — Iran’s so-called Holo­caust con­fer­ence this week was billed as a chance to force the West to recon­sider the his­tor­i­cal record — and, thereby, the legit­i­macy of Israel. But why would the Ira­ni­ans invite speak­ers with so little [...]
