Let me guess, you've been promoted to Cardinal Hedd?

Window lickers? Dude...

I could understand if someone voted no to a question of the main cause of global warming, but not the fact that it exists.

He'll replace Hoover as that future generation's personification of bad times; whenever he's mentioned people will associate his name with bad economic and international decisions, as they continue to pay off the debts left by his policies. Hoover will be forgotten, like people now don't remember Buchanan, who was ineffective in preventing the Civil War. I wonder who people used to personify bad times with before Hoover.

Cripes, double digit people voting No. I was wondering what people in the Bush administration were doing in their last week, now I know.

The great fallacy of the naysayers is the belief that the phrase Global Warming means that we should just see warmer temperatures everywhere, while the fact is that it encompasses the total effects that the increase in the average temperature of the atmosphere cause, including rising ocean levels that affect the weather, releasing more moisture into the atmosphere, and leading to increased weather fluctuations, both hot and cold.

In other news, animals throughout the KC zoo have been observed hiding their food today. Some of the smaller mammals are also hiding from view.

If you're looking for an all inclusive where they include 2 adults and 2 kids, I think you have to try someplace like Thailand. That's illegal in most countries.

Well at least he earned some time off.

New England will pick him up late in the draft, and in a few years he'll be taking over for an injured Matt Cassel, and so on and so on...

As Bill Parcell sits in an office in Miami...

Obama has no plans to release anyone next week. In fact it will probably be a year before Gitmo is closed because they either have to find other nations to take them as prisoners, or try them in a miltary tribunal. 61 out of 500, that's probably a better percentage than the recidivism rate for U.S. prisons.

Eagles > Cardinals > Ravens, but anybody but Pittsburgh.

Tell it to the people who died at the convention center waiting for help. I'll never forget that image of a dead woman in a chair covered with a blanket who died in front of the convention center waiting for help. Bush rolled FEMA into Homeland Security which increased the bureacracy, and appointed an unqualified person to head it. Forces could have been helicoptered in with short term supplies and to provide security. His lack of focus and sense of urgency will be a permanent blemish on his presidency.

(CNN) — Sarah Palin fired a new salvo in her war on the media, unloading in a new interview on her home state paper and “bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie.” The Alaska governor, who has granted a steady stream of interviews since Election Day, also told an Esquire reporter that she wishes she had told McCain campaign advisors she’d be “callin’ some of the shots.” "Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me….I'll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask — double-, triple-, quadruple-check — who is Trig's real mom,” she said, in an interview to be published in the magazine’s March issue. “And I said, Come on, are you kidding me? We're gonna answer this? Do you not believe me or my doctor? And they said, No, it's been quite cryptic the way that my son's birth has been discussed. And I thought, Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism." But Palin said she had adopted a philosophical attitude on the downside of the spotlight. "You have to let it go,” she said. “Even hard news sources, credible news sources — the comment about, you can see Russia from Alaska. You can! You can see Russia from Alaska. Something like that — a factual statement that was taken out of context and mocked — what you have to do is let that go." The former Republican vice presidential candidate said again she regretted not taking a greater leadership role during the campaign season. "If I were giving advice to myself back on the day my candidacy was announced, I'd say, Tell the campaign that you'll be callin' some of the shots,” she said. “Don't just assume that they know you well enough to make all your decisions for ya. Let them know that you're the CEO of a state, you're forty-four years old, you've got a lot of great life experience that can be put to good use as a candidate." Despite a season of barbs aimed at the coastal elites, Palin seemed to offer an olive branch to the Big Apple: "I would think we all tear up during the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, don't we? That's an alikeness between Alaskans and New Yorkers," she said. Update: In an Anchorage Daily News column published last week, the paper's editor said the only questions reporters there had asked about Trig's birth came when the paper undertook a project to debunk conspiracy theories surrounding the event, but that they had abandoned the effort because of a lack of cooperation from the Palin family. "I don't believe we have ever published in the newspaper a story, a letter, a column or anything alleging a coverup surrounding your maternity," wrote the editor in an e-mail sent to Palin and reprinted on the paper's blog. "In fact, my integrity and the integrity of the newspaper have been repeatedly attacked in national forums for our complicity in the 'coverup.' Later, he added: "…So I don’t understand the behavior of the governor’s press office. Did the governor not share my email with the press staff? Did the press staff deliberately ignore what I said in order to have a longer list of press 'outrages'? Or are they just sloppy with details? I don’t know."

What they say is based on who they are and what they represent, it's all related. The threat isn't them, it's that there will be enough people who buy into their warped view of the world and get them elected while too many other people get apathetic and let it happen. The reason they need to be talked about is just so people don't get apathetic, so we don't have Bush redux.

The same year my dad died from a heart attack, I woke up on Father's Day with terrible chest pains and shortness of breath, and my wife took me to the emergency room. They took me right in and monitored me but didn't think it was a problem. Then I had to do followup testing where I got a heart sonogram and did stress testing, but in the end it was most likely psychological from thinking about my dad. But I still get nervous when I get bad heartburn.

Henny...... I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back home. My wife said she wanted to go eat at someplace new, so I took her to the kitchen.

My wife said she has the body of a 30 year old. I told her she better give it back because she's wrinkling it!

My last two vans have been Dodge/Chrysler. I think they make the best vans, much better than the Ford I used to have.

We need to invest in blue technology.

Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) believes Caroline Kennedy is getting softer press treatment in her pursuit of the New York Senate seat than Palin did as the GOP vice presidential nominee because of Kennedy’s social class. “I’ve been interested to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she will be handled with kid gloves or if she will be under such a microscope,” Palin told conservative filmmaker John Ziegler during an interview Monday for his upcoming documentary film, “How Obama Got Elected.” Excerpts from the interview were posted on YouTube Wednesday evening. “It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we will perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus, say, the scrutiny of what her candidacy may be.” Palin said she remains subject to unfair press coverage of her and her family. “Is it political? Is it sexism?” she asked. “What is it that drives someone to believe the worst and perpetuate the worst in terms of gossip and lies?” She observed that Katie Couric and Tina Fey have been “capitalizing on” and “exploiting” her. “I did see that Tina Fey was named entertainer of the year and Katie Couric’s ratings have risen,” she said. “And I know that a lot of people are capitalizing on, oh I don’t know, perhaps some exploiting that was done via me, my family, my administration. That’s a little bit perplexing, but it also says a great deal about our society.” The Alaska governor said that when she sees some of the coverage of her daughter Bristol especially “the momma grizzly rises up in me.” Looking back on the Couric interviews, Palin said she knew things were not going well after their first session and asked the McCain campaign to pull the plug on the remaining sit downs but insisted the campaign made her go through with the rest. “I knew it didn’t go well the first day, and then we gave her a couple of other segments after that. And my question to the campaign was, after it didn’t go well the first day, why were we going to go back for more?” she said. “Because of however it works in that upper echelon of power brokering in the media and with spokespersons, it was told to me that, yeah, we are going to go back for more. And going back for more was not a wise decision either.” Palin criticized Couric for the way CBS “spliced it together,” saying that “so many of the topics brought up were not portrayed as accurately as they could have, should have, been.” She also expressed frustration with Couric’s characterization of her since the interviews. After being shown a clip of Couric complaining to David Letterman that no post-election interviewer has asked Palin why she would not tell the CBS anchor what newspapers she reads, the Alaska governor responded: “Because, Katie, you’re not the center of everybody’s universe.” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17217.html ************** Waaah! It's wasn't a class issue, it was a lack of knowledge issue. And no editing was necessary to show that you couldn't answer even simple questions about newspapers. Don't blame the media for your own incompetence, although it probably plays well with your core supporters who don't believe their own lying eyes.

You hit the nail on the head. They got screwed. I hope that chiseller didn't take it awl. It doesn't sound like a frame job, he just wasn't on the level.

And people laughed at the story last year about the guy who built a female robot for companionship...

You never heard of speed reading? In the end, we're all part of the same galactic material, just shaped into different molecular structures.
