Great links - thanks. But I do think it'll take more than joints to grow more brain cells in DC...
Ranch Style Greeting's Mr.Infidel!
I know a couple folk's locally here in Dallas that think I am obssessed with this global warming stuff ... which is silly ... I am not. One this morning at a neighborhood business gave me a wisecrack (sarcasm) seeing me walk in shivering from the goddamn upper teen's temp's and said "What do you have to say about global warming today Tom?" (ha-ha) But these piece's you posted from Science Daily are great! I have just been interested over the last few year's about the Polar Bear's and what in Hell will be their next move, because what is happening in the polar region is some incredible fast change's, I mean fast .... because, 20 year's or so to us ....isnt even a fraction of a split second considering the billion's of year's it took for this planet and life to evolve. I am particularly interested in the salmon in your neck of the wood's as well, actually I am a big meat eater ... and eat more salmon than any other meat. Bottom line ....is what will happen with these humongous fresh water deposit's as well that are going into the ocean's and how will it effect these species in the next 50 year's will be interesting... because rest assured ...it is going to happen anyway you slice it.TimesOnline piece .... Dolphin's are quite a fascinating species too ...heh? The likely volcanic wasteland planet was excellent as well ... it doesnt suprise though a bit.
TPM ...Everybody in Connecticut hate's Lieberman, looking at that look on his face ...I pictured him thinking ... "ask me if I give a rat's ass .... I can go to Texas ... those dumbasses will take anyone!" :) You know ... people will do shit, and when your a politician ... you are going to hear about it.
You brought up an interesting comment the other day on a blog, I believe it may have been Demwit (?) but you were talking about a large portion of folk's that may have a hard time or such identifying with a party, because they may be liberal on social issue's, and conservative on say economic issue's ... it hit me, because I could never solidly identify with a party strictly because of that reason.
God Delusion video found Pharyngula was an excellent piece of work!
Religion "IS" Blasphemy (Holte Ender).... I read something about that somewhere's ....Ireland? of all place's! But ZJemptv done an excellent presentation there.
Telegraph.co.uk on the Brit gal arrested for drinking after being sexually assaulted ... that is shameful ... do they have no shame? This let me add is a country that is riding high.... just been publicized on every major world news source for the opening of the new Burj Tower or whatever they call it... a very popular western tourist destination with plenty of dollar's and Euro's pouring in, despite their corporate whining about financial hard time's ... and they do this?
I got to run ... I know the character limit here is 4000+ (?) and being a Texan ... I get confused and lose count after 200 or so. :)
Later Guy .........
