Bloomberg.com: News: "But the bill didn't become law, for a simple reason: Democrats opposed it on a party-line vote in the committee, signaling that this would be a partisan issue. Republicans, tied in knots by the tight Democratic opposition, couldn't even get the Senate to vote on the matter."

But it's only POT! Or is it...?

Camille Paglia on Sarah Palin's debut, John McCain's rebirth, and Barack Obama's tenuous position | Salon

2008-09-10T04:44:00.000-08:00

Paglia's always brilliant and her comments stand on their own. However, this time around I have to question...she writes of McCain, "Hit him with a hammer, and he explodes like a jellyfish into a hundred hungry pieces."

Do jellyfish really explode into a hundred hungry pieces when you hit them? I don't think so. She usually isn't prone to bad prose so that's why I wanted to comment on this occasion. Not a weighty matter to be sure but it interested me.

My Way News - Obama says he was too flip on abortion question

2008-09-08T06:09:00.000-08:00

"'And so, all I meant to communicate was that I don't presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions,' he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's 'This Week.'" - Says Obama...
Perhaps he doesn't understand that it isn't a theological question. Anyone who ever used a condom understands when life starts...

"'Resources should be used to adapt to the consequences of climate change, rather than King Canute-style vainly trying to stop it,' said the minister."

At this point I would say we need to put our efforts toward creating new and innovative ways to heat our homes and keep machines running in the cold. We aren't headed for warmer times, we're headed for colder...just ask the sun.

The below article reads, "According to an analysis by ABC News' Gary Langer, the drop in these numbers coincides with decreased media attention to climate change..."A database search finds 50 percent fewer news stories on global warming in the month before this poll was conducted, compared with the month before last year's survey," Langer wrote."

In other words, global warming has been nothing but propaganda and people have fallen for it. The average person doesn't care, they don't believe, or aren't concerned. They have to be convinced...they have to be made to believe, forced to care. It's a hoax.

The linked story reads, "Just possibly, it means that what investors refer to in shorthand as the great "oil up" story has finally revealed itself not as the fundamental reflection of scarce supply that its adherents liked to claim, but as a simple, speculative bubble that was always going to burst."

There were protesters at an Obama rally. He said to them, "Excuse me, young man, this is going to be a question and answer session, so you can ask a question later," I think that is one of the most arrogant answers I've heard a politician give to a protester.

There's so much wrong with this story. First, what business is it of the city council what people eat?

The story reads, "The yearlong moratorium is intended to give the city time to attract restaurants that serve healthier food." Yet it neglets to mention that those in this "poor" area won't be able to afford those healthier places.

Not so Cuil

2008-07-28T08:09:00.000-08:00

Sure, I am guessing you will read the above play on words a million times. It fits however. I am not Google sycophant but the Cuil search engine did not perform well.

I first did a typical search like I would on Google and did not get the results I wanted. I then got very specific with it and still nothing. Finally I typed in words that I knew were the exact words that would get me my desired search, but still it did not come up. All three ways of searching brought up my content on Google right away. It's nice people are trying to compete, but a product that works as expected when tried, helps.

To be fair, I will try Cuil again, and probably again. Just in case...
