No, I don't. Trends are measured by taking measurments over time. Saying one year out of 100 is too small of a sample to disprove the 100 previous years worth of measurements showing a trend. The temperature goes up and down, but overall it goes up more than it goes down. That's why you have to look at it over a long period of time, not just the last 12 or 24 months. The 200 years before that doesn't take the spread of industrialization and burning of fossil fuels that occurred in the 20th century into consideration.

I agree.

Four things: 1) It's called the Congressional Budget Office, not the "congressional business office." 2) OMG SOURCE PLZ! 3) Conservatives want to argue that the stimulus isn't going to work because it isn't big enough? Can you guys please find an economic philosophy and stick with it? 4) In no way did the line about contraceptives and cabbage patch dolls make any sense.

What percentage of the American public doesn't have cable or satelitte again? Like, what? 18%?

"Clearly inferior"? This was a school for kids with learning disabilties, not the mentally retarded.

Why can't you guys just be one big happy United Kingdom?

I didn't see that in the story. Why was the coach fired? Becuase of this, or some other thing?

Explain.

Your source is Republican Senate committee staffer's blog from a year ago that cherry-picks news articles for specific regions. What about 2008? And what about the 100 years prior to 2007? Global Warming is based in average temperatures of the entire globe, but every time there's a temporary lowering in one specific area, we're supposed to take this as definitive proof the entire planet is getting cooler, despite the fact that every study of the entire planet's average temperature over a prolonged period of time shows the same thing?

I can't top a Blacula reference.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, but since it's a neo-con publication....that fits under the umbrella of conservatism.

Yeah, that's a good point. I live in the middle of KC, and there's still channels I don't get with my antennae. I don't really know if the rabbit ears work any worse than the fancy ones...with digital, if you don't get the whole signal, it is just as bad as gett ing none of it. I don't know what he meant by the rest, though.

You'd think that using them to pay off the debts would have help prevent the collapse. BruiserKC makes a good point about tax cuts not doing much for the economy at this point, which is why I think new government spending (not on just throwing money at th economy, but on thing we really need to do but have been putting off, and things that will lead to enhanced productivity down the road) is a good idea.

I'm confused because I've never had a problem picking up a digital signal with plain old rabbit ears, and my understanding on the converter box is that it switches the signal to analogue before it outputs it to the tv, and then carries it to the tv with a plain old coaxial cable (coax cables are capable of carrying either type....I have a coax cable attaching my antennae to my tv).

And yet, the issue of fairness never seems to bother them when talking about inheritance taxes. Go figure.

His lawyer quit.

Wait...whut?

That's not what I heard.

Call me crazy, but I'm actually siding with Tom Zarek now. A military alliance with the rogue Cylons is one thing, but Adama's taken it too far.

The other team was students with learning disabilities, not the physically handicapped. The fact that the school only has 20 kids in it to build a sports team out of has more impact on the team's effectiveness than their disabilitiy status.

Add Dick Cheney's name to the list of people unhappy with George Bush: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/22/che...ibby/index.html

Either of those is preferrable to keeping them in a legal limbo with no chance of proving their innocence.

I never realized until now how racist I am because I want Obama to be successful....

"ANIMALS WILL BE BRED UND SLAUGHT-TERED!"

Fox went all out on a news segment I saw yesterday to let people know why the new proposed stimulus package wound probably fail. The, to reinforce the point, they brought out Brit Hume to offer a special commentary on why the economic stimulus package couldn't possibly work. To say the coverage was one-sided would be generous.
