I’m an Atheist too

My favorite video story in the wake of the Moore, OK tornado was not the elderly woman's dog emerging safely from the rubble during her interview (though it did warm my cockles), or of the teachers who risked their own lives to save the children in their care, or the many images of children and parents reuniting.

I can't even post the figure, as it's constantly changing... the counters move faster than the ones at the gas pump. Tonight, I'll chat with a couple of people who've done the math in California. You probably remember reading about the students in California protesting the rate hikes in the state university system just last month. Now, Brave New Foundation, University of California Student Leaders, and the Consumer Federation of California [...]
