A nurse has recorded the top five regrets of the dying. They include:
1. I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish I had let myself be happier.
Some of these hit pretty close to home. How did they stack up for you?
The linked article is awesome, btw.
This is going to be interesting.

Ever wonder what’s in the textbooks that have been influenced by creationist-style curriculum? After screening The Revisionaries (Independent Lens, 10 p.m. Jan. 28), we were curious, so we checked a few of them out.
While some of the more traditional fundamentalist teachings have been limited to Christian schools and homeschooling curriculum, this kind of curriculum is no longer the sole purview of private funding.

In both cases, tax dollars are at work.
Ten things you’ll learn during the broadcast:
1. Humans and dinosaurs lived together.
2. What you see during “mating” will determine your offspring’s traits.
3. The KKK was peachy keen.
4. The reason the oceans are salty.
5. The great depression wasn’t so bad.
6. Dragons were real!
7. The trail of tears? Not so bad.
8. The moon? You’ll never guess why it exists.
9. Climate change is a myth.
10. Darwin. I’m sure you can guess what they say about him.
Poor dude.
After teaming with KFC with their “Pink Bucket” campaign, I’m hardly surprised that Komen for the Cure would do this. Send your donation dollars elsewhere. I’ve been doing that for quite a while now.
Update: Komen for the Cure has reversed their decision. They still won’t get my donations.
I’d have to disagree. Thanks, Mr. Minchin!
SETI has been defunded. Here are Carl Sagan’s thoughts.
