Why is Global Warming Such a Partisan Issue?

Is it because all Republicans are ignorant and hate the earth... or is it because they won't accept the premise that the emperor's new clothes are the best they've ever seen, and instead, raise the idea that the emperor doesn't seem to have any clothes on at all?

"Chait falls victim to the idea that for some people -- those rational beings in the reality-based community -- political perspectives flow from a fountain of facts."

Why Did Global Warming Become a Moral Issue?

Because that's the best way to squash dissent... just as the old heirarchies squashed dissenting religions in their realms in the days of old.

Now scientists create a sheep that's 15% human

Scientists have created the world's first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.

The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.

Professor Esmail Zanjani, of the University of Nevada, has spent seven years and £5million perfecting the technique, which involves injecting adult human cells into a sheep's foetus.

Bizarre Hexagon Found on Saturn

It's an atmospheric formation, and there are no primitive apemen dancing
around it with bones in their hands that we can tell.

The caption to the first photo in the USA Today story reads:

A bizarre six-sided hexagon feature encircles the entire north pole of Saturn. The hexagon is nearly 15,000 miles (25,000 kilometers) across.NASA/JPL/University of Arizona

I would think a 5-sided or 7-sided hexagon would be more bizarrre. A 6-sided hexagon seems pretty normal to me. Kudos to USA Today's crack team of journalists for that caption.

Dog Gave Heimlich Manuever?

Anyone else just a wee bit skeptical of this story?

Debbie Parkhurst, 45, of Calvert told the Cecil Whig she was eating an apple at her home Friday when a piece lodged in her throat. She attempted to perform the Heimlich maneuver on herself but it didn't work. After she began beating on her chest, she said Toby noticed and got involved."The next think I know, Toby's up on his hind feet and he's got his front paws on my shoulders," she recalled. "He pushed me to the ground, and once I was on my back, he began jumping up and down on my chest.

"That's when the apple dislodged and Toby started licking her face to keep her from passing out, she said.

Hillary Promises "Universal Health Care" If She's Elected President

And of course, to anyone who has researched the issue or ever had problems with physicians, that is a commercial for her competitor... whoever it might be.

Tha plan goes something like this. You go to the doctors assigned to you by the government (the Government being the epitome of efficiency... just look at road crews sleeping on the job) and if you go to another one, you and the physician are both in serious trouble. Why? Because Government Beaurocracy (all bow down and praise its name) always knows best. And because the politicians won't be subject to the law any more than they have to minimize their energy usage while scolding us for using too much.

If that were in effect during the early 90s I'd be dead now.
If it were in effect in the 80s, my aunt Mereada would be dead now.

I think it all comces down to this. Do you think people be trusted to find their own best interests, or should the unwashed masses have to do what their "betters" dictate? And if it hurts individuals, then those peopole just have to accept that sacrifice "for the good of the group?"

Al Gore's Not a Doctor, But He *Is* a Master of Metaphor

Al Gore, the new Renaissance Man for the 21st century is saying "The world has a slight fever. We'll have to remove your head."
