Thursday's interview segment on Colbert featured an anthropologist who attributed the increase in human brain size to the switch from vegetarian diets to meat eating.

It seems that Turkey will ask NATO on monday to send patriots missiles to their border to Syria. Rumors have it Germany might deploy their systems and soldiers there. (Well, unless Merkel can avoid it.) |

Does anyone know the demographic of same-sex supporters in France? I thought they were quite socially liberal.
