In back-to-back hearings this week, lawmakers on key House and Senate panels put the State and Treasury departments on notice that their patience is wearing thin after the latest round of talks last month failed to produce a deal. Both chambers have legislative efforts in the works – the House foreign affairs panel will vote next week – but the administration is warning against any moves that could undermine international support for the existing sanctions against Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program [....]

By Carl Zimmer, New York Times/Science, May 16/17, 2013
An article that summarizes the recent work of Ya-Ping Zhang, a geneticist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who has led an international network of scientists who have compared pieces of DNA from different canines which is pointing to the theory that dogs domesticated themselves.
But the article's message is not just what it first appears to be. When you get to the concluding paragraphs there are some real though provokers:

By Neha Paliwal, Passport @ ForeignPolicy.com, May 17, 2013
On Friday, chaotic clashes broke out in Georgia as an angry mob -- comprised mainly of young men but also including robed priests and some women -- descended on a gay rights rally commemorating International Day Against Homophobia. A day earlier, the head of the Georgian Orthodox Church had demanded that authorities stop the rally, calling it a "violation of the majority's right."

This is just a bad idea, mixing up dancing and fighting.
It's like a fish-bicycle.
Or a sex-disease.
A Republican with a conscience.
The two just don't go together.
Simpler? Do the Twist... and carry an Uzi.
Catalogued.
I'm hating you just a little bit right now. I know I live in the land of beaches, what with 14,000 plus islands and all. But I love Bahia. And I am supremely jealous. Supremely.

"Things suck. We didn't get the change we wanted. So we're going to vote for people who are even MORE determined not to give us the change we want."

Speaker of the House Boehner... Urp! Oh, sorry, my breakfast just came up.
