Not melting ice, but rather melting babies faces (exageration): http://www.sacbee.com/state_wire/story/2412699.html

In some cases, but not all. Some countries don't love litigation nearly as much as we do. Radicals have been making sexy track cars for years. Nurburgring "records" are ridiculous.

Its a black'n'white image rendering from multiple points that was complied to create: A full scale view of the northern lights over the course of an evening. In this special case, the "ribbons" collided; If you were standing under it, you would have been able to drive without headlights from all the light coming off of it.

With guns... like Detroit. Wait, the greatest concentration of Iraqi's in the US is in Detroit... coincidence?

The chance that some day (night), you'll be able to watch Auroras collide over your head. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/images/whenaurorascollide/asi_movie_29feb09_big.gif

I need a haircut.

Umm.... my phone's background is... my hand?

Dude it's Oshkosh, not Tahiti. Only 7 hours by car, maybe a night in chi-city.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400525/ I liked it.

Still 10 times better than Kansas.

LIES! The Rockies, nor their foothills, rise out of anywhere in Nebraska.

$300, still a full 5/16 tread left!

If they prove he did it on purpose (they wont), he could do time. Perhaps he's too young to remember boiler explosions... I'd like to see more testing.

LOLZ! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/copenhagen-climate-change-confe/6736517/Copenhagen-climate-summit-1200-limos-140-private-planes-and-caviar-wedges.html 1200 limos 140 private Jets 5 electric cars And: Well shit, now I want to go.

I'm not eloquent. I have a point that I'm trying to make and I use English to do it. If you think this is eloquent, you need to read more. lol Secondly, no one is more critical of Eric than Eric. I challenge you to name a "progressive fiscal idea" that ever manifested itself into actual practice. You're not going to find one, because the Conservatives have dominated that arena. Rightly so, for a while they were the most qualified to make such decisions. But they're kinky sex with the military industrial complex over the last 30 years has made them just as bloated as the libs. The "Conservative" fiscal pratices that have been in place since Reagan have gotten us right where we are now. "Things were awesome under Reagan"; not really, but what little boon you saw there, you are paying for now because he sold the future to make himself look good. You complain about a healthcare bills cost as if it were a bulk payment, though it will be spread over a period of 12 years. The cost will be nothing compared to the annual blank checks you wrote for a hastily conceived and horribly executed Iraqi war that got us exactly jack squat. My "talking points" in this discussion didn't get anywhere near Bush until you started pointing fingers regarding the recession. This is not a secret, the men have admitted to it: It was coming down the pipes and they did everything they could to stall it until the next administration took office, and postponing it made it worse. I'm not pointing fingers, the guy already raised his hand and said "yep, we did that". I also find it funny that you expect a recession that's been in the making for a decade to be corrected in less than a year. Lastly, you challenge the efficacy of programs that have either just been implemented, or haven't even been approved yet. Healthcare IS a right and it shouldn't be left to people who make such a mad-ass profit off of it. Profit-driven medicine is a despicable bi-product of capitalism. Capitalism is great for general Goods and Services, but has no place in the administration of of care to those who need it. I am very familiar with healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Not just the BS that talking heads like to bring up. I'm talking about the functional details of how shit works (or rather, how shit doesn't work), straight from the mouths of people who live it every day. I've personally worked extensively in in the manufacturing sector and know what drives business decisions. I take the time to ask people who know, I never trust a politician or pundit to tell me how it is. With one exception, I've never listened to an Obama speech, and I have no intention of ever trying. Rob: Jesus and me are boyz, though he was more of a socialist than I am. Funny how people forget that.

Funny Irony: Obama has done more to help the firearms industry than any Republican. -Obama's stance on gun control laws since he took office has been; "too busy, don't give a shit". you actually have as many (if not more) gun rightsnow than you did 4/8 years ago. -All the dipshits making a run on gguns back in january boosted sales by, to use industry terms, "a fuckin shitload". It'd be hilarious if he did this all on purpose: -January 2009 Obama; "Hey guys, I'm going to tighten gun laws, ha!" -January gun lovers that diss him; "Shit! empty the saving account, buy what you can, charge up those credit cards!" . . . Nothing happens. . -2010 Obama: "Suckas, you got owned."

Goe both ways: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2009/12/15/inconvenient-truth-gore-claims-dont-add/?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a16:g2:r4:c0.188751:b29368936:z10 People who don't know shit shouldn't be involved with shit.

This is an example of political folk trying to get involved when they really don’t understand the science. Breitbart published this stuff either without reading it, or without understanding it. I guess they figure people don’t read past the title, because the article does nothing to dispel the link between temps and glacier melt. It seems like it does, from the title, but it corrects that assumption twice in its text: "However, the ETHZ scientists said they also found that "temperature-based opposing mechanisms" came into play about 30 years ago and have been sustained." and "This should not lead people to conclude that the current period of global warming is not really as big of a problem for the glaciers as previously assumed," The article really does a crappy job of killing the link between temps and glacial melt. In point of fact, the world gets warmer with more powerful sunlight. If there are increases in solar radiation, the temps will respond accordingly. Secondly, though the theory is sound, it doesn't apply to the most current problem. Solar activity has been dropping during the last ten years, while temps have been rising. Lastly; white snow and ice, as mentioned above, reflects 90+% of the solar heat energy that beats down on it. The sun itself has a very hard time melting this stuff on its own. Now, add in the afore mentioned soil dust from our Dustbowl*, and those from china, Africa, and Australia. Now the sun has soemthing to heat on the surface of the ice, and that will accelerate the melt regardless of temperature. *One dust storm from the great plains dumped 12 million tons on Chigago. It's estimated that our Dustbowl sent over 300 million tons of soil into the air, and China's is worse.

Dang'ol buddy! I actually want to write an anti-Prius editorial.. I know it's good, but I wonder if anyone will publish it.

OMG CARBON DIOXIDE IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
