Overnight Open Thread (6 Feb 2015)

It really is time to shut down the IRS. Hundreds of fired and reprimanded employees are rehired.


A-10 Quiz

So since you morons love the A-10, I though it would be time to quiz you on how well you know the A-10.

MSM Power

Mission accomplished for the media when a survey conducted with 6900 students in over 37 countries lists George W. Bush as more hated than Stalin. Only Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, and Saddam Hussein were more hated.

The effects of temporal distance can also be seen from the almost neutral rating received by Genghis Khan, which is not the result one might have expected given the amount of human suffering and cultural destruction he unleashed on the 13th century. Such mid-point ratings were also given to Saladin and the Qin Emperor, also ancient conquerors and empire builders, and to Napoleon, who is not as ancient, but considerably less controversial today than he would have been in the 19th century. Time seems to push these historical conquerors towards neutral evaluations as living memories of them fade [47], [48] or are simply not that well-known.
