Clinton said "put ice on it" to Juanita Broaddrick, not Paula Jones.

Actually, when cost per energy unit is calculated, wind and solar are subsidized FAR more than oil and gas. Ecoman's argument is akin to one I heard in Denver in the early 90s, where mass transit advocates asserted that more tax money went to "private" transportation (i.e., for roads used by cars and trucks) than by mass transportation. They conveniently omitted the fact that mass transit amounted to something like 1-2% of actual trips made. So, Ecoman, I'll take you up on this. End ALL subsidies (no, accelerated depreciation is not a subsidy) for energy, and watch wind, solar and ethanol starve to death.

Thanks for the article, Michelle. I'll ask my wife to have our weekend restaurant meal at a Chik-fil-A.

"No, I don't remember that, because he never did it." Yep, he didn't respond, which probably had something to do with the drubbing the Republicans received in 2006 and 2008. That's not the only cause of the Republicans' losses, but I think it was a significant factor.

"All she needed to say was how horrible it was that people were killed and injured." Right ... she needn't address the multiple accusations from megaphone-equipped Lefties and the New York Times. What a load of CRAP!

Janet Napolitano and Kathleen Sebelius also couldn't finish out their terms. They decided they had better opportunities elsewhere (in Napolitano's case that meant handing over her office to the opposition party). I, for one, am glad Sarah Palin did an end run around the jerks who were consuming the governor's time with nuisance lawsuits. That left more time for actual governing (since the lawsuit idiots aren't wasting her successor's time), and freed up Palin to help the US. Palin's "quitting" has been far more beneficial to us than Napolitano's (let's criticize my state for trying to keep illegals out) or Sebelius' (you insurance companies had better shut up if you know what's good for you).

They didn't stomp on her head, Jay - a fellow placed a foot on her shoulder to keep her down until the police arrived. There's video now which shows what she was doing before that incident, and she was hardly an innocent bystander.

If violent games influence teens to commit violent acts, why has the teenage violent crime rate declined since the introduction of such games?

Frankly, this is simply more of the same hysteria which has been around since at least the 50s (when it was COMIC BOOKS which were supposedly corrupting the children).

If you want to really make an impact on teen (and adult) crime, then criticize the women who choose to bear and raise children without being married to their fathers.

I just left a respectful message with an aide of Barton's at his Washington office, saying "please keep focusing on the Copenhagen idiocy, but stop this lunacy of trying to control college football".

For those who wish to do the same, a quick Web search will reveal his Washington office phone number

Michael,

First off, 1998 was NOT the hottest year "sing the advent of reliable records". That honor belongs to 1934.

Secondly, it's becoming more and more obvious that scientists have been cooking the books. A few weeks ago an independent researcher who looked at the "warming trend" for New Zealand checked the raw data, and found no such trend.

And just a few days ago a similar report was issues about Australia temperature data - the "rise" in temperature is apparently attributable to the program being used to display the rise, since the raw data don't support that conclusion.

So inquiring minds want to know - is this fraud limited to England, New Zealand and Australia? Or will we find similar cases...
