I had a chance to hear Cuccinelli speak in June and during the Q&A session I asked him whether he feels the government should be more or less secularized. His response was pretty safe (though he is a good speaker) but I distinctly remember that he said:

I’m not trying to legislate the Bible.

I thought this was a bit funny as the law is an anti-sodomy law, and the word “sodomy” comes from the Bible. However, UMW’s Stephen Farnsworth posited that belief/policy changes like this are a symptom of Virginia’s political system, i.e. you have to run right to get the nomination, but then jump back to a centrist position to win.

This is also funny because Ken has 7 kids (if you get what I’m saying (not once in his entire sexual career?)).

However, I also distinctly remember he said “numbers don’t lie” during the presentation – I ascribed the quotation to Hova and figure that anyone who likes Jay-Z can’t be too bad.

Three 6 Mafia can tell you more about this in their famous song.

Leon Leyson was the youngest person on Oskar Schindler’s list, at a boyish 13. He was a fabrikarbeiter, or machine employee.

Called “Little Leon”, he was so small that when working in the factory, he had to stand on a box.

In January 2013, he became the last survivor on Schindler’s list to pass away.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the byproduct of the industrial world – it’s put out by factories and cars that burn fuel.

Attempts to fight global climate change by getting rid of carbon dioxide might include:

• creating artificial forests of “trees” that convert CO₂ into oxygen
• taking advantage of large quantities of biomass that extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
• dissolve limestone into the Earth’s oceans to trap carbon in the air

Solar radiation management could just as easily be called “sunlight deflection” – it’s a general attempt to combat global warming by dealing with our star’s electromagnetic energy.

Some postulated ways:

• put more aerosols in the stratosphere
• make clouds brighter, and therefore more reflective (with seawater)
• cloud seeding to create more coverage

Not one person on the list isn’t Jewish. Of the estimated 13 million killed in the Holocaust, approximately 6 million were Jews.

The sinister targeting of the Jewish people had a racial aspect to it in that Hitler believed he could bring about a cleansing of Europe by exterminating supposedly inferior peoples and promoting Aryans to breed.
