A) Why you shouldn't worry about getting cancer from your cell phone: it's in the same risk category as coffee and pickled vegetables.
B) Murder levels in the US are at roughly the level of the least violent era in American history, the late 1950s. The question is why? Not only that, but murder rates over the last two centuries have been trending down, albeit with several spikes.
C) Two bits of naval news: First, China's new aircraft carrier is a piece of junk. It will be decades before Chinese naval aviation is a threat to the US. Second, piracy can be profitable - to insurance companies!
D) You've heard how horrible, bad and no-good Canadian health care is? Well, not so fast, partner. Turns out that Canadian health care is as good or better than the US for significantly less money.
Stay cool and hydrated, people.
