You only need to notice one thing in this news about a record high Earth temperature in 400 years : The human condition 400 years ago. Somehow the billions more people on the planet since 1606 have just now created the necessary greenhouse conditions to replicate the weather from that very hot year. Which means […]

Folks, please be patient with the formatting problems we will be experiencing for a while it seems. We went to add a security patch which derailed the editing function (which never worked completely right in the first place). We are hesitant to go back to an older baseline because the security patch had impacts on […]

Seems Saddam’s WMDs have been found in Iraq, and apparently these have been discoverd over the course of last few years: The United States has found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq since 2003, and more weapons of mass destruction are likely to be uncovered, two Republican lawmakers said Wednesday. … Reading from a declassified portion […]

*** Update: A reader from the rightward fringe has commented on all the scary things that might happen if the country allows an expanded guest worker program (one already exists today, as I pointed out – there are just more working workers than positions allowed by Congress’ made up number right now).

This will be a long fisking, so be prepared. Let’s start with their sources – which they have not […]

Jack Kelley has a way of culling out the essence of a situation and exposing it as the pivot point to the debate.  In the case of the Democrats’ plans to Lose In Iraq (which was conveniently left off their proposed plans for the 2006 elections) we see how the left can excel over the […]

Hillary Clinton is losing ground in her bid to become not only the Demcrat Presidential nominee, but the next US President. Regarding potential Democratic candidates, 47 percent of respondents said they would “definitely vote against” both Clinton, the junior senator from New York who is running for re-election this year, and Sen.
