  “Neanderthal?” I resent that remark! Bush is a cro-magnon. Neanderthals were intelligent! And all the while "Delegates in Paris ...said debate remained lively as to whether this statement should include a specific goal for long-term reductions or instead be confined to vaguer ambitions," the global heating continues unabated. The time…

  Once I would have said Mercedes Benz, and even SMART, (especially SMART for getting about in Japan,) but a buddy of mine is having a heck of a time getting through to them about defects. http://mercedes.benz.japan.co.ltd.googlepages.com/home So, I'll stick with my Toyota. So far, so good.

  Automatic weapons = Quiet Neighbors. Fact. Extrapolate....2nd Amendment, armed citizens = lives saved, your son daughter spouse relative. Check Jefferson's quote on " Let your gun be your companion on your walks, 1777."

  What I always find remarkable when the topic of "israel", Gaza and palestine is brought up, is the seething hatred that jumps off the screen when anyone dares to criticize "israel". Not supporting, or even criticizing "israel" does not make one anti-semitic, an enemy of the Jewish people, or an…

  Hillary has silenced more than Bubba. Apparently, "Shut up, you!" is often barked shrilly at her security detail. Bubba must have pretty thick skin to be verbally assaulted by HRC, effectively silenced, and just smile right back, when in public.

  A financial daily on December 17 2007 said that the sub-prime debacle was a "train wreck in slow motion, which everyone could witness occur, but no-one knew how to stop." It also said that "only about 4 or 5% of this problem has been processed." The peak for foreclosures, repossessions…

  mareo2, you said a mouthful there. "Don't risk unnecessary deaths" Unfortunately, I think all of the deaths since March 20 2003 have been unnecessary. Saddam's supposed to have "disappeared" 29,000 people per year. Bush's war has multiplied that x82.6 for a total of 1.2 million+ in 5 years. I doubt…
