GMO
We’re asked to accept, for example, that it’s safe to eat food containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) because, the experts point out, there’s no evidence that it isn’t and no reason to believe that altering genes precisely in a lab is more dangerous than altering them wholesale through traditional breeding. But to some people the very idea of transferring genes between species conjures up mad scientists running amok—and so, two centuries after Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, they talk about Frankenfood.

Radicals they revile
CADzilla
“The threat to men of great dignity, privilege and pretense is
not from the radicals they revile; it is from accepting their own myth.
Exposure to reality remains the nemesis of the great -- a little understood
thing.”
― John Kenneth Galbraith

Unseen matter — particles
Galaxies appear to be rotating so fast that they should have spun apart long ago, throwing off stars like sparks from a Fourth of July pinwheel. There just isn’t enough gravity to hold a galaxy together, unless you assume that it hides a huge amount of unseen matter — particles that neither emit or absorb light.

Been a desperado
I have been a desperado
Raped and pillaged 'cross the plain
Now, I'm goin' to Arizona
Just a Rider In The Rain

Economic vise indicators = belt tightening
(Economic signs) More than three quarters of the American workforce are suffering from declining wage growth and with wage growth now an almost perfect predictor of consumer spending, one would expect retail sales to take a hit.
Of course this trend doesn’t just affect the Best Buys and Gaps of the world, it also takes its toll on hookers, liquor stores, drug dealers, and casinos and when sex, drugs, and gambling aren’t selling you can go ahead and kiss your “recovery” hopes goodbye.

#-7
(Ranked no. 7) We shouldn't worry too much about the waning power of our passport, though; it’s apparently still the document of choice for “for spies, state-sponsored assassins, terrorists and just about anyone else seeking to be plausibly ordinary across a range of languages, ethnicities and religions,” according to the Globe and Mail.
“... but now men who could work preferred to beg, and the artists forgot that their calling was noble and became imitators instead of creators, charging exorbitant sums for the rubbish they churned out with one eye closed.” ― Pauline Gedge, The Eagle and the Raven

Something..... more interesting than sex

the Rock is cookin'
That means The Rock eats the equivalent of 5.5 two-pieces cod each and every day!
A two-piece fish and chips from Ches's in St. John's has 6 ounces of cod. (Ches's Fish & Chips)
The wrestler-turned-Hollywood superstar eats seven meals per day as part of his dietary plan, two of which have cod as the main source of protein.
Along with seafood, Johnson also eats 12 eggs daily, along with healthy servings of chicken, steak, protein powder and vegetables.
However it isn't all lean protein for The Rock. While training for the movie Hercules, Dwayne Johnson famously treated himself to one "cheat meal" after 100 days of eating clean.
What did he have? Twelve pancakes, four "double-dough" pizzas and 21 brownies.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson photographed himself during his cheat meal day during the filming of Hercules in 2014. (twoscoopsgethuge.com)
I think by now we can all "smell what the Rock is cookin'," and as it turns out, it's a whole lot of food.

economy USA, the illusion
Perhaps when all such excuses have been tried and found wanting, reporters and pundits will be forced to admit that among all the vicissitudes of the last six years, the consistent element has been liberal policies. Those liberal policies–extravagant government spending, steadily mounting debt, endless regulations, cronyism and the suppression of innovation, promotion of expensive energy, war on cheap electricity, and all the rest–have condemned a generation of Americans to limited opportunities for employment, promotion and the acquisition of wealth.
