Radiation Absorbing Mineral Found In the Arctic
An anonymous reader writes "A mineral has recently been found that exhibits the astounding property of being able to remove radiation from water-based solutions. 'After coming into contact with the mineral, radioactive water becomes completely safe. Had this mineral been available to physicists after the Chernobyl or Three Mile Island disasters, the consequences might have been very different, as both accidents resulted in contamination from radioactive water.' Also, the article notes that although only grams of the material have been found, tons of it are needed; they are confident they could artificially reproduce it."
A great deal of Reagan speeches, done for GE radio and written in his own hand, have been found and published to general acclaim. Like his policies or not, the idea that Reagan just delivered somebody else's lines is just flat out not true. The man had a good brain and used it.
he man had a good brain and used it.
Given the fact that he was one of the worst presidents we've ever had by any metric you'd care to name, and that he was a drooling vegetable while his administration was committing various acts of treason, including major funding, arming, and training of terrorists (you know, the ones we're now at "war" with) as well as cocaine dealing, you might want to replace that with a sane statement.
[Reagan] was one of the worst presidents we've ever had by any metric ...
Yes, but he played national doddering grandfather so well; how could anyone not love him?
One of my all-time favorite cartoons was just after the 1988 election, showing a smiling Ronald Reagan walking in the door and shouting out "Nancy! I got the part!!!"
Those who do study history are doomed to stand helplessly by while everyone else repeats it.
Um. 1980

It's old. The more humans I meet, the more I like my cats. At least they are honest.
It's "you're", as in "you are", not "your" as in "Your head is up your"...oh, nevermind, this is Slashdot after all.
Hey! New law: The longer the thread on /., the more likely someone will offer up some obnoxious comment correcting a prior posting followed by, "this is Slashdot, after all"
