By Selwyn Duke Last Wednesday, January 11, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) halted all United States domestic air travel due to the “failure” of its Notice To Air Missions (NOTAM) system the evening before. It was big news not just because of the profound inconvenience, but because it was NOTAM’s first ever failure and only…

By Selwyn Duke We discussed our rapid moral decay and how it affects behavior and our civilization in general. Light topics, in other words. (Yes, I'm being facetious.) My appearance begins at 27:40.

Racial categories influenced whether a person could get or retain a job in the civil service, become a member or a…

By Selwyn Duke Sometimes, as is said, if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. It’s also true that, as with British writer Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” humor can often be an excellent way to change minds. In this vein, there’s a new parody for the “Kaufman Institute for Coincidence” (KIC) that deals with a certain…
