My recollection is there was one extortion attempt after another(He's extremely wealthy). Most of the extortion attempts had nothing to do with child molestation.
People see a man with a funny nose and freakishly pale skin and they join the crowd with the mob mentality. There's a lot of...
Gay pride events make the public aware of the communities existence. It's also very brilliant in a way, because it's a bad PR move for the conservatives to ban a gay pride event because it's almost liking banning pride itself.
When it comes to pride, I think it is more like freedom to be...
Government is not fit to control the Internet, cyber-Katrina or no cyber-Katrina. I'd rather see private industry and the open source community tackle the so-called threat.
You're just talking about the observed increase. The whole basis for observed human induced global warming, is that CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere. The theory it's self is never attacked.
Basically there were ten false pretenses, and the WDM lie was just the tip of the iceberg. Let me see if I can break this down.
Unilateral actions cannot legitimately enforce multilateral agreements.
No they didn't. The State Department described the threat as "highly dubious," although...
If I'm not mistaken, Bush at one point urged consumers to go out and spend money, in fact that was the whole intention of the stimulus package earlier this year. Since many consumers don't need a stimulus check, doesn't this cause people to go out and buy stuff that they don't really need? I...
Well he mislead the country into the Iraq war. I'm not sure whether or not that will get into the history books. I guess it will depend on whether the books are written by democrats or republicans.
He will get credit/blame/ or just be associated with the following:
1. the bailout
2...
In terms of storm surge, New Orleans may be worse off than is was with Katrina. Here's a map of the predicted storm surge. It's very nearly a worst case scenario.

It will help McCain distance himself from Bush. It will also partially drown out convention coverage and possibly open up old Katrina wounds. If the levees in NO fail again, some may try to point fingers at the executive branch, which will be bad. On the other hand, a well coordinated...
There's Pelosi, but that might not exactly be a winning ticket for McCain. I imagine Rice would make the short list.
McCain should nominate whoever is most qualified for the position.
Criminal trials can be emotionally stressful for people regardless of whether they are guilty or innocent. With the prime suspect dead, there will be no trial, and hence, no search for truth.

There are lots of alternatives, and that's certainly not limited to founding fathers, or even political figures.
I don't see what the big deal is with oil speculators. I mean the oil speculators are merely speculating that gas is going to cost $6.50 per gallon in 2015. Now everyone is up in arms that that investors are predicting future market conditions. Congress ought to do some oil speculation of its...
I'd like to protect access to sensitive data on my computer. It's not too sensitive so I don't need anything too fancy. Is there a way to password protect directories on a Windows system? Can I create a second user, and only give read access to that user??? Do I have to use file encryption...
Dog ownership especially. It's like having a psychological leash around somebody all the time. The only thing I can compare it too is slavery. Does anybody agree with me?
This would not appear to be either politics or news, so off to OT it goes.

I see all these postings (for roommates) on craigslist where the poster says that they don't care if their roommate is male or female. To me, that's almost like saying, "I don't care whether or not we have sex."

I think the idea is that global warming would make a fire worse. The fact that the fire may have been started by an arsonist is not relevant. The process is called activation energy

A good first step in building a nuclear bomb is building a civilian nuclear reactor. There could very well be reasons that Iran might want civilian nuclear power. The thing is that any country that has civilian nuclear power can build a nuclear bomb is, say, six months. The real question is...
What can they do? Everyone is expecting the report to look like the following:
- substantial improvements in some areas
- more improvement in other areas
- surge must continue in order to see more gains
- success is just around the corner
- if leave Iraq, it could turn into a disaster...
