that there are now two former Democratic executive office holders that have won the Noble prize?
Carter in 2002, and now Gore in 2007
“for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change”
All I’m saying is, while [...]
I didn’t watch the news last night, so I didn’t hear until this morning about the shooting at Virginia Tech.
My heart breaks for all those involved. Yes, even the shooter and his family. What happened in his life to make him think that this was the way to handle it? If it is a case [...]

The US accusations that Iran is behind the Iraqi IEDs is not supported by any actual evidence:
No evidence was produced, other than a suggestion that the [...]
How stupid do they thing we are? Or sadly, how distracted and gullible?
Using advanced marketing and communications tactics, they made the American people believe in the existence of WMDs and a connection between Iraq and Al Qaida. The country (the world!) is learning now that all the “peaceniks” and “flaming liberals” that were “unpatriotic” [...]
