Simply because someone is registered in two states means nothing. Now did I vote in California and then again in Massachusetts in the same election? No. I did not. I don't have a jet at my disposal to facilitate that kind of fraud nor do I have the inclination to cheat. What a tempest in a teapot.

Is that a recognized way to throw water on the investigations and move on to other things? Is that normal, acceptable, honorable? If not what is it?

While he's rude, crude, and kind of a putz, and he's appointed some real bozos to the Cabinet, he's also proving that he's not so politically inept.

That's almost inconceivable at the energy scales typical of the particle interactions in our bodies."Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who was also on the show, replied, "If I understand what you just declared, you just asserted that CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research, disproved the existence of ghosts.""Yes," said Cox.It's become glaringly obvious that the Standard Model of Physics is an incomplete theory, with several gaping holes that physicists have been trying to patch up for decades, but Cox says the existence of... less
