one approach to this debate might be to simply poll the u.s. population and see if most people think there is a leftist media bias. that is, does the media perspective differ from that of the general population, or is the media simply reflecting the political views of the average citizen. some research seems to show that there isn't a clear consensus about media bias. while americans do, on balance, see the media as biased, they don't agree about which party the media favors. there is a lot of new conservative media to balance the old liberal media. but among americans who really do see a media bias, they are only somewhat more likely to think the media favors democrats: source more on what media people believe is based on the own political preference. scroll down to media credibility ratings. disclaimer: the source is an organization headed by madeline albright, so it is probably a liberal organization.

no, but it looks like he's ready to serve up some cream of mushroom soup for ya.

i think the point they are trying to make is a lot of the people driving SUVs around could be meet all their transportation needs with a more fuel efficient vehicle instead of a status/sexy vehicle. it's a point i think most people basically understand. i kind of don't like the ad though because, well, i drive an SUV. i kind of need an SUV for logging roads, and i don't think anyone thinks my '89 with 192K pathfinder is status/sexy. it's like a pickup truck to me. i thought they should have included a disclaimer for "real" SUV users, so basically they are stereotyping motherfuckers.

they're snowboarders. they think it's cool to be rude to rest of the world. that's why they call them snowboarders. my advice is to head to the backcountry. even if i go to a super popular bc area the worst i've encountered is the occaisional boarder sitting up to his waist in snow 200' past the trailhead smoking a fag and saying something about how he needs a splitboard or verts or a helicopter or something. disclaimer: some boarders are cool.

i dunno, but maybe if i stuck a quickdraw in there and yanked on it i'd get a DFA

let's not forget all the wonderful things the nazis did for germany before the war started - major public works projects and economic revival. i remember my dad talking about how the nazis modernized a lot of the farming systems and public health facilities in the rural part of germany he was from. the nazis were shakers and movers - they got stuff done. and they had an agenda, just like saddam.

so i'm at work and somebody's here fixing a sink and as i walk past i get a classic shot of plumber butt. well add that particular psychological injury to workplace hazards. you'd think i'd be able to get some kind of workman's comp for emotional trauma.

two things: 1) is the US supporting these guys in any way? i remember "US rapes nuns in el salvador" as a protester catch phrase a while back and now i'm envisioning "US eats pygmies in the congo!" 2) article states "We hear reports of MLC and RCD-N commanders feeding on sexual organs of Pygmies, apparently believing this would give them strength,". will i be able to run like a thoroughbred from ?

what's messed up in north korea is thousands of people are starving to death. the north korean goverment is using it's available rice to feed it's million man army while ordinary people die. kim doesn't care as long as he stays in power (or rather the generals who surround him, since kim himself seems weak). so kim plays the nuclear card so the u.s. won't try to topple his regime. so now it's "just put down the gun and everything will be ok". the food shortage problem won't go away until north korea throws in the towel and accepts reunification under south korean control. and BTW i don't think china wants that to happen.

basically the judge gets away with it because he killed those trees "by accident". if you kill a human "by accident" they can still get you for manslaughter or negligent homocide. if trees had rights they'd be able to get the judge for "treeslaughter".

so it looks like the morning's biggest spray topic is wine tasting. my my aren't we a civil crowd all of a sudden. next thing you know the cascades will have a reputation as the kind of place where you can leave a pack someplace and come back to find that someone's left a chocolate mint on top.

roy lichtenstien would have more tent-yoga photos...

this thread has had me googling about. here's an interesting quote from an interesting site: "Wildfires are part of nature, but they don't have to be destructive to homes. Research shows that 85 to 95 percent of houses burned by wildfires could have been saved with a few simple precautions, such as raking pine needles, keeping flammable plants away from houses and building with fire resistant materials."

further proof that not all a-rabs are bad people: this young lad looks like a prime candidate for americanization. only question is will he be a repub or a dem.

i'm not going to restate what many others have already said about the number of days during the winter when the avi danger is at least "considerable". peter, i suspect you are going to limit backcountry skiing activities to the springtime, which is fine and what a lot of people do, and i think pretty much a requirement for the levels of certainty you're asking for. i think he may have been trying to say that when you enter avalanche terrain you can do everything right and still get killed, which is something everyone should know.

slope stability analysis is a fairly inexact science. i think we occaisionally see accidents were based on the available information we can point to mistakes more experienced or wiser people would have avoided. i do not think this particular tragedy falls into that category. based on the available information it sounds like this is something that could have easily happened to me or most of the people i ski with; probably i think even most experienced and safety oriented backcountry skiers. i think it highlights the fact that in avalanche terrain the danger can be reduced but never completely eliminated. from the reports i have read it sounds like a layer of hoar frost may have contributed to the slide. along with depth hoar, hoar frost layers can be a sneaky killer. it is not always something we look for when digging a pit, and can be a very localised phenomenon.

hiking up to terror basin via goodall creek over thanksgiving we found one step in crampon on the trail. i left it in a prominent spot but somehow missed it on the way down so it's probably still up there.

i remember, in my younger, cruder days, some of the guys would refer to ponytails on women of barely legal age as handlebars, but thank you trask for sharing your version.

wow, 30% of those shootings were accidental. that averages to $240 million annually for accidental shootings. maybe there should be some kind of competancy test for owning a gun. or maybe (this should rile some feathers haha) there should be a gun tax to pay for it all.

have you tried google looks like a eurogoat or something.

she might fit if you don't inflate her all the way.
