Consume like it’s 1969
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 28 Jul 2008 05:13 PM EDT
When leaders of the world’s richest nations pledged this month to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, they didn’t specify how this would be accomplished. By one reckoning, however, Americans could roughly halve their emissions, and their energy consumption, much sooner — simply by scaling back their lifestyles. How far back? If Americans could settle for the same living standard they had in 1969, that might do the trick. More>>>

by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 28 Jul 2008 05:09 PM EDT
Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) dismissed Democratic claims of obstructionism and expressed outrage last week over a government report that shows the majority of bills that have passed in the Democrat-controlled Senate of the 110th Congress have done so without any debate or even a vote. ''The U.S. Senate has a nine percent approval rating, because the American people believe that much of our work is done in secret...'' More>>>

I DEVOTED six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian Greenhouse Office. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector. The world has spent $50 billion on global warming since 1990, and we have not found any actual evidence that carbon emissions cause global warming... More>>>

Mystery hairs 'may have come from a Yeti'
by

on Mon 28 Jul 2008 04:51 PM EDT
Hairs being tested by British scientists are the best ever evidence that the legendary Yeti does exist, experts say. The hunt for the elusive creature - said to be 10ft tall, part man, part ape and otherwise known as the Abominable Snowman - has frustrated scientists for decades. Now tests at Oxford Brookes University on hairs said to be from a Yeti in India have failed to link the strands with any known species. More>>>

Iraqi and U.S. forces now control virtually all of Iraq and Baghdad's troops might be able to take on security responsibility for the whole country by the end of 2009, the senior U.S. general in Iraq said on Monday. General David Petraeus told Reuters in an interview that progress in Iraq in the past year had been "very dramatic" but he said suicide bombers would still slip through security nets. More>>>

More than 1,800 people showed up to help ABC's "Extreme Makeover" team demolish a family's decrepit home and replace it with a sparkling, four-bedroom mini-mansion in 2005. Three years later, the reality TV show's most ambitious project at the time has become the latest victim of the foreclosure crisis. More>>>

Round-the-world flying adventurer Steve Fossett may have faked his own death, investigators have claimed. Fossett, a friend of Virgin boss Richard Branson, and the first man to fly non-stop round the earth in a hot air balloon, went missing last September when his final flight in a light plane over the Nevada desert went missing.

French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy says her husband was not upset when he learned of all the nude photos she did during her modeling days. Au contraire. Bruni-Sarkozy told Vanity Fair magazine that she gathered up her past nude shots to show President Nicolas Sarkozy early in their relationship, telling him: "You must know that this is going to come out. "He said, 'Oh, I like this one! Can I have a print of it?'" More>>>

Republican presidential candidate John McCain moved from being behind by 6 points among "likely" voters a month ago to a 4-point lead over Democrat Barack Obama among that group in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. McCain still trails slightly among the broader universe of "registered" voters. By both measures, the race is tight. More>>>

McCain grows a pair...

on Mon 28 Jul 2008 10:50 AM EDT
I think the good Senator McCain is figuring out that 'nice guys' do indeed finish last, especially in politics. Escpecially when 90% of the Main Stream Media is in Barry's back pocket and really refuses to call him on his anti-Patriotic garbage. This is an excellent campaign ad detailing the fact that Obama lost interest in visiting wounded troops as soon as it was not going to be a photo op.
Obamedia Watch: Left-wing minority journalists show their true colors

on Mon 28 Jul 2008 10:12 AM EDT
Michelle Malkin: The UNITY event organizers were so concerned about public displays of Obamedia affection that they issued several warnings to their news professional members that the speech would be broadcast live on CNN. “Professional decorum” was encouraged. One wire story even fretted: “Can minority journalists resist applauding Obama?” Um, well, some of us can. But we don’t count. More>>>

One world? Obama's on a different planet
by

on Mon 28 Jul 2008 05:02 AM EDT
SEN. BARACK OBAMA said in an interview the day after his Berlin speech that it "allowed me to send a message to the American people that the judgments I have made and the judgments I will make are ones that are going to result in them being safer." If that is what the senator thought he was doing, he still has a lot to learn about both foreign policy and the views of the American people. Although well received in the Tiergarten, the Obama speech actually reveals an even more naive view of the world than we had previously been treated to in the United States More>>>

As in past bombings in India, suspicion for both sets of explosions quickly fell on Muslim militants blamed for attacks such as the July 2006 bombings that ripped through Mumbai's commuter rail network, killing nearly 200 people. Those fears were amplified by the history of Ahmadabad, a crowded and historic city that in 2002 was the scene of one of worst incidents of rioting between India's Hindu majority and its Muslim minority More>>>
Speaker Pelosi won't let the House debate the merits of offshore drilling
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Mon 28 Jul 2008 04:31 AM EDT
WHY NOT have a vote on offshore drilling? There's a serious debate to be had over whether Congress should lift the ban on drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf that has been in place since 1981. Unfortunately, you won't be hearing it in the House of Representatives -- certainly, you won't find lawmakers voting on it -- anytime soon More>>>
