Nope. What's your point?

So-called peer review is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Especially since the "peers" have been colluding into silencing and supressing differing opinions. Peer review is as much of a hoax as AGW. Don't fall for it!

In general, yes, but not in this case. I could have predicted the response from many of the anti-Palin posters before they even watched the video. In fact, American Woman even refused to view the clip.

POLITICO has learned that Rep. Parker Griffith, a freshman Democrat from Alabama, will announce today that he’s switching parties to become a Republican. According to two senior GOP aides familiar with the decision, the announcement will take place this afternoon in Griffith's district in northern Alabama. Griffith’s party switch comes on the eve of a pivotal congressional health care vote and will send a jolt through a Democratic House Caucus that has already been unnerved by the recent retirements of a handful of members who, like Griffith, hail from districts that offer prime pickup opportunities for the GOP in 2010. Griffith, who captured the seat in a close 2008 open seat contest, will become the first Republican to hold the historically Democratic, Huntsville-based district. Link And so it begins. It'll start out as a trickle, and end up as a flood next November. And anyone fond of Sen. Reid and Sen. Dodd better enjoy them in the Senate while you still can. Cause they're gonna be kicked out too!

Well, I'm not sure what Jesus has to do with what we're talking about, but I don't find "Two and a Half Men" funny, nor do I respect it.

God I hope you're right. It's about time the Government ended their monopoly on the sale of alcohol.

Either way, I could careless. This is the first instance I have ever heard of her, and probably the last. In any event, this thread wins "insignificant American politics topic of the year."

Either do I.

Not necessarily true. South of the border, the U.S. savings rate has ballooned to 6.9%, its highest rate since 1993. In Canada, however, the savings rate has jumped more modestly to 4.7%" Link I'd say that a savings rate of almost 5% is pretty solid.

My premise wasn't that all the evil of the I-P conflict are completely the fault of the Palestinians. I was just applying your premise to their situation. Just as I imagine that you don't believe that all the evil of the Iraq war is completely the fault of the US/UK.

Complete nonsense. Saying we're in a depression lessens the significance of a real depression. Since the beginning of the recession, savings rates have already increased dramatically.

Why wouldn't you agree with me? It's your premise.

Yes. See, was that so hard?

Complete nonsense. The United States spends $500 billions dollars on military/defense, where as the United States economy as a whole is about $14 trillion dollars. Do the math before you spout such lies and propaganda.

Iggy ain't PM yet.

That's completely false. The earth hasn't been warming in several years. And there have been several factors which have been found to affect temperatures. For instance, the sun. It's common knowledge.

Nope. Not at all. I've never felt that anything and everything Palin says or does is fantastic. That's just hyperbole. However, some people (like you), will never get themselves to admit that they like anything about her. Even if it's just a funny clip from a late-night comedy show. It's pretty sad. Again, you're completely and utterly wrong. There are several liberal blogs (Huffington Post, Democractic Underground) that have posted this clip on their sites. Many people, who have even more dislike and disregard for Sarah Palin than you, have enjoyed it, and found it very funny and entertaining. Strawman. I didn't mean to suggest that you don't have a sense of humor. It's just that you either lack an intellectual honesty to admit when somethings funny, even when it's from somebody you don't agree with politically, or that you let politics fog your judgement so badly, that you just can't see it. Either way, it's pretty sad. And adding Rush Limbaugh is just another strawman. I never mentioned him, or posted a clip of him. So let's stick to what I posted. You can go argue about a phantom Limbaugh comedy insinuation somewhere else.

Complete strawman. Espousing freedom now is in no way comparable to what some 19th-century colonialist might have done 200 years ago. No. Freedom is a human right. Well then you doubt history. Because some Western nation's did need force to enforce the ideals of freedom. But what if the population yearning for freedom doesn't have the power to fight back its oppressor? Stop bringing up your colonialist strawman.

Well, I guess we can apply that principle to Arab's as well. Perhaps the results of the several wars initiated by them on Israel over the past 60 years has resulted in the situation they now find themselves in. And since Israel's behavior because of it was easily predictable, the Arab and Muslim countries involved, are ultimately responsible for the plight of the Palestinian's and the area as a whole.

I first saw her in the movie 8 Mile.

So because you think other other areas of study have manipulating, deleting, and fudging thins, it makes it okay for the pro-AGW scientists? However, I'm glad that you finally admit that they've been fudging the numbers. It's a step in the right direction. Anyways, on to some more interesting climate news. In this case, the term "follow the money" seems to be more than appropriate. Questions over business deals of UN climate change guru Dr Rajendra Pachauri "No one in the world exercised more influence on the events leading up to the Copenhagen conference on global warming than Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and mastermind of its latest report in 2007. Although Dr Pachauri is often presented as a scientist (he was even once described by the BBC as “the world’s top climate scientist”), as a former railway engineer with a PhD in economics he has no qualifications in climate science at all. What has also almost entirely escaped attention, however, is how Dr Pachauri has established an astonishing worldwide portfolio of business interests with bodies which have been investing billions of dollars in organisations dependent on the IPCC’s policy recommendations. These outfits include banks, oil and energy companies and investment funds heavily involved in ‘carbon trading’ and ‘sustainable technologies’, which together make up the fastest-growing commodity market in the world, estimated soon to be worth trillions of dollars a year."

Why? Its never stopped you!

I'm sure they have. They've gone down consistently and artificially. I'm sure a lot of businesses would love to live in the same fantasy world of economics that government run car insurance lives under. Where you can undercut your competition offering artificially low premiums because you don't have to worry about running deficits. While at the same time, being funded partially by your very competition through the taxes they pay to the government. Organized crime couldn't think of a better set up! Example: State Farm ---> pays taxes to Manitoba government ---> who then funds government run insurance ---> which then competes with State Farm.

Great post! To Waldo and the other true believers, the earth began just over 100 years ago. Information preceeding 1900 is irrelevant to them.
