Frankly I prefer the official website of the Supreme Leader.

I have to agree with DBAHO here. I think climate change is probably real. Common sense tells me that human activity pumping all sorts of s*** into the air has massive consequences. Also take into consideration the fact that almost all serious prominent figures in the world think it's a huge problem means action is the only option for me. The death, suffering and despair climate change is likely to cause make economic recessions insignificant.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Nov 24, 2007 -> 11:15 PM) I wonder why the write chose to say it was a "humiliating exit from public life". Politicians lose all the time. It is not like he lost 80% to 20% or something. The voters there were worried about the interest rates and stuff. Just wait until he signs the Kyoto crap and all sorts of things go sky high. You get what you vote for, or don't vote for. Considering my left-of-centreness I kind of thought, well he'd been embarassing himself for quite some time, ie ignoring climate change, fully endorsing war on terror... But from the media angle I think the "humiliating" part comes from the fact that he's the first PM in Australia that's also lost his seat in an election in some 100 years. I still don't think that's something to be particularly ashamed of, but the media's the media. I think Australians were also tired of Howard's following of Bush into Iraq, and his ignorance of climate change. And just signing onto Kyoto, or its future extension, whatever it may be, doesn't have any effects on the economy whatsoever. The actions a government might take to try to achieve Kyoto goals might have a negative effect on the economy. But even then are there actually any examples of a country going into the gutter economically as a result of trying to cut their emissions? I don't think so.

This is actually a big story in Canada where John Howard was seen as the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's last ally other than George W. Bush on climate change. No one, and especially a Canadian wants to have George W. Bush as your only ally. This came right at the same time as the Commonwealth countries were trying to come to a consensus on binding emissions cuts for industrialized countries. Normally both Harper and Howard would be opposed to such a track together, but with Howard on his way out Harper was the lone wolf and getting hit pretty hard in the press about it. Canada's Leader of the Opposition hasn't been quite as successful as Kevin Rudd yet, but that Harper seems so out of touch with the consensus hurts him. explained here better than I can http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=121822

I saw Lions for Lambs tonight. It rang pretty true for me, but at the same time wasn't particularly mindblowing.

Ahhh!!!! Mike Gravel and Chis Dodd at 27, then all the Democrats, Ron Paul, and the rest of the Republicans.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Sep 21, 2007 -> 08:45 AM) For the first time since 1976, the Canadian Dollar reached parity with the US Dollar yesterday. I have no idea what this really means for us, but for now I'd like to take an ignorant moment to thank Dubya.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 13, 2007 -> 10:30 PM) The real question is, how do we make the Iraqi's care enough to want to take control of their own country? You think Iraqis don't care enough? How bout they care a ton but there's just a million different agendas operating at once. It's almost impossible to find compromise between Democrats and Republicans in the States. Multiply that a couple times...

QUOTE(Brian @ Sep 7, 2007 -> 12:36 PM) Remember the movie "Open Water"? Based on true events about the couple that got left behind in the ocean. They made a straight to DVD sequel which is also based on true events. It's available for free on Demand and I have 90 minutes to waster before I leave for work. Can't wait to see how bad this is. I think they actual made that movie with no intention of it being a sequel, but I guess they thought they could make more money if they just called it a sequel.

Not that the swiftboats on John Kerry were particularly damning and it seemed to serve its purpose, but this video didn't seem all that bad for Rudy. I know he wasn't a perfect mayor but with all the events surrounding 9/11, those three screwups probably aren't representative of Rudy's true role in the security preparations and aftermath.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 11:06 PM) yeah, they werent trying to hide the bodies, they were dropping them into the deepest crevice in the ocean because they figured the pressure and the temperature would not allow those transformers to be able to come back up. I'm pretty sure they referred to it as hiding the evidence, and then Optimus Prime was talking about living among the humans without them knowing it.

QUOTE(shipps @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 07:55 PM) I feel kind juvenile admitting this but Transformers was awesome.The effects really got me which normally I could care less about.And there was some really funny moments to go along with it,just a great summer flick. I don't know about it being "great" but I sort of feel the same way. SPOILER Didn't anyone else just laugh after they supposedly hid the evidence of the Transformers ever existing. It's like duh, thousands of people just saw them destroy half a city.

Breach was damn good. Chris Cooper was amazing in it.

QUOTE(rowandrules83 @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 12:14 PM) It'd be interesting if the film won the Oscar for best picture, for the reason that it would lead to the words "Academy Award winner Elton Brand" (He produced the film). How'd Elton Brand get involved in the movie business?
