If there were riots over a very intelligent jurist who happens to be conservative, than it would have only happened in a blue state.

I work in construction and we are introducing styrofoam block construction that was developed in Canada with an R rating of 40 - well above the required 18 and very good.

I do find it funny that in colleges the ratio of liberals to conservatives for professors is about 9 to 1, while in the military for officers it is flipped and is 7 to 1 or 6 to 1.

America is not dead yet.

As the college professors (and journalists) make more money, they tend to go red. As the military officers get screwed on pension and medical benefits (and get sent to Iraq) they tend to go blue. Things are reequilibriating.
