One Day at a Time (30 November 2015)

Things that made me click:

• Cruz (rightly) claims that having an American mother makes him an American citizen, regardless of where he was born.  Wait, where was he on this with President Obama?
• Unfortunately, food bags are not delivered to my area
• Surprise, there is a link between shootings and psychotropic drugs.  What this article fails to discuss is that drugs aren't enough and that some therapy addressing thoughts and feelings would have helped these kids.
• While this article says that society itself is sick.
• Whereas here in New Zealand, the males get dropped off at parks, in driveways, at dumps.  But there is no chick-smashing that I am aware of.
• Go white blood cell!
• My favorite is the story about Sid the cephalopod.
• Ready for news from way back in time, and of course exoplanet atmospheres
• Brookings Institute study reveals no surprises -- most IS supporters come from Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iraq
• New findings on the fight to cure diabetes
