This question represents one of the great misunderstandings many people have about politics. It goes like this:

"My friends, family and neighbors all believe the same things I do. That means that most Americans believe the same things I do."

And then, when they see polls that, for example, show that their preferred candidate is losing, they don't believe them. "The polls must be rigged... everyone ...

Updated Oct 15

I've cooked most of the recipes in two Medieval cookbooks, Libre de Sent Sovi and Libre del Coch which were the most important ones in Spain, France and Italy from the 14th to 16th centuries. Some of the recipes are as old as 122O and some of them also appear in English cookbooks.

Contrary to the popular belief that meat and fish were very expensive, they were quite usual on most tables. Village...

Rubber bullets have a goldilocks complex. They only work as intended when everything is "just right."

Fire them at too long a range, and they are ineffective.

if the person you're shooting is wearing a bulky winter coat, it alters these ranges.

The range has to be" just right."

The target area on the body has to be "just right" as well. The ...

Who won the third Trump-Clinton debate?

Morgan Evans
Updated Thu

So far, as of 9:45pm ET, it looks like Hillary is doing better. Trump has made numerous grammatical errors, such as "bigley." He has also referred to abortion as "ripping the baby out," and he has already brought up Hillary's husband. In addition, he has called her a liar and a puppet.

His arguments have kept his head above water, but Hillary's answers have been stellar. She's supported her posi...
