I admire McCain the senator. McCain the candidate is a lying capitulator. His running mate is Sarah Palin (!) Voting for Nader, Keyes, or Barr is willfully naive. There will hopefully be a time for third party ( Read more... )

Can't Sleep..hopefully "We Can Solve It!"

Alarmist?

I'm going to iterate; this is the future that inevitably awaits in twenty to forty years if current emissions ( Read more... )

Lately I've been thinking a lot about where I get my news. Jeremy has leveled a legitimate (if not somewhat insulting) criticism of me: that I merely ( Read more... )
