    Bush on TV

    That depends on what your definition of 'there' is....
  2. Is it appropriate to factor in the 'cost' of not having to buy land to bury all that glass in a landfill (not to mention trucks/gas to do it, etc)?
  3. Well, if you include any president who has lied to the public when asked a direct question, we could pretty much include all of them. Makes life a lot easier....
  4. Considering the transportation problems, I'm surprised they managed to come to some sort of agreement. It's too bad because I'm sure the quality of life over there will suffer because of it. I was thinking about moving over there myself but this may kill it.
  5. hey now, don't go bringing facts and reason in to an ideological sprayfest...
  6. Just got back from a climate science conference. Some pretty cool stuff going on but one of the things that stood out (amongst several) was that if we fixed future CO2 emissions at year 2000 levels, the atmospheric temperature will stabilize this century but, because of the thermal mass of the oceans, sea level will continue to rise for at least a few hundred years as the ice sheets continue to melt. Some worst case scenarios show no arctic ice sheet by the end of the century. Also of note was that, despite protestations to the contrary by some in the 'real' world, there is a lot of conscious and purposeful avoidance of anything that looks like scientists pushing policy agendas.
  7. sounds like someone has a copy of the master key to the local pharmacy.....
  8. We should get the nutria hooked on meth and set them loose in the forests....

    BUSHISMS

    He's less eloquent about it, but he should at least give credit where credit is due: "'Repeat anything enough times loudly enough, no matter how untrue it is, and people will begin to believe it" J. Goebbels (sp?)

  21. (waiting for someone to chime in with a comment about that's what happens when you live in the center of the pinko commie universe....) glad to hear no one was hurt. it's just glass. karma will likely wreak vengeance upon their foul existence.
  22. He should publish it here then.
  23. wtf? source please. Somehow I can't imagine enough bio-diesel has been burned in the history of the world to do jack shit. Ummmm, I'd say someone's trolling and not quoting a reputable source....
  24. Business, as usual. Move along, now. Move along. Hey, did you hear about our great new plan to save Social Security and balance the budget?
