High Caliber Culture
On this 64th anniversary of dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, it seems appropriate to remember the facts surrounding Truman’s decision to employ that weapon.
A little while back, alleged comedian Jon Stewart labeled Truman a war criminal and went on to suggest some militarily and morally facile alternatives. Jeff Whittle provided a blistering response, which is worth a few minutes of your time.
I could add some comments, but Whittle really says it all.

Professor Carol now offers a complete self-study course covering 300 years of music.
This romp through music history (and many other historical topics) combines 13 hours of DVD video with a 3-disc listening set from Naxos and a 236-page course book.
From the birth of opera to the Leipzig coffeehouses frequented by Bach and Schumann, from the Orthodox cathedrals of Moscow to Tin Pan Alley, from scientific discoveries to bloody revolutions, spooky dramas and shoe styles, Carol chronicles it all with her unique commentary.

I think this guy showed Jon Stewart to be a total moron windbag.
