D.C. resident John Lockwood was conducting research at the Library of Congress and came across an intriguing Page 2 headline in the Nov. 2, 1922 edition of The Washington Post: "Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt." Were all gonna DIE!

Further, It turns out that the hottest year on record for the US is not 1998, but 1934.

That's right, we are no warmer now than we were almost three quarters of century ago, while CO2 levels have increased how much?

The Eco-Nazis will do anything to advance their fraud to scare the US into allowing the third world to plunder the US economy.

LIBS: Please turn off the Leftist Propaganda on CNN & MSNBC!

Most of our ancesters were immigrants. Many of them were poor, endentured servants, or even criminals .

I think its a great thing. I live in Canada, and I think you guys are incredibly lucky to have such a large group of cheap, unskilled labout.

Example: My room is really dirty. Its a total mess. There are books, clothing, coints, and candy wrappers everywhere. My parents are yelling at me to clean it, but I'm to busy. I go to university full-time, and have a part-time job, and today I'm cramming for midterms. It would take me a good 4 hours to clean this room top to bottom, but I just don't have that time.

I would gladly pay some poor, underpriveledged illegal immigrant $20-$25 to clean it. Try telling that to a legitimate cleaning service here. They'd laugh at you and say they want 80 bucks for 4 hours of cleaning. I wish I lived in Arizona, or California, or Texas, some state where I could walkt to the welfare office line and offer 20 bucks to clean my room. You Americans should consider yourselves lucky for illegals.

I'm not trolling, I'm dead serios. I want my own illegal!

I am not sure on what I need as papers go to go to Mexico and come back. Do I just need my birth certificate and California ID to do so? I think as I have read that I don't need a passport if you are traveling by land until January the 31 of 2008. But I read that you need a turist card or something like that in order to stay there for over 72 hours or if you are going inside further of the border zone. I mean, do I really need to get that even tough I look Mexican and speak spanish?

I read in the 1980's how Reagan brought the Evil Empire down by outspending them. The USA, like it has for most of it's history incurred some DEBT. Do you se the Soviets around? This was money well spent.

Of course the LIBS in the 1980's were saying the same things they are saying now "Generations to pay off"! We scaled back the military, and despite Clinton's MASSSIVE tax hikes the Private Sector, BIG BUSINESS, erased our debt in short fassion.

Since Bush took office 9/11, Katrina and the War on Terror have taken place. This costs the government money. Yes, we have debt. Like in the 1980's, this is money well spent and it won't take generations to pay off like the FEAR MONGERS on the left are saying!

As far as Hillary is concerned, they can only pick her, a socialist, non-convicted criminal over an inexperienced, ex-muslim socialist.......Ever thought about what free thinking democrats think about their current plight ? Are you dem ? Are you Rep ?.....What are you ? What do you think about America`s dem/liberal choices this time around ?

Estimates are anywhere between 3 and 15 years.

I think 15 years is far too high an estimate. Iran has many facilities and many people working on this.

My guess would be more like 5 years.
What do you think?

Why aren't public meetings simulcast over the internet, and public input allowed through email, or text message?
It would force them to explain more fully what they are voting on. They wouldn't be able narrow down meeting minutes to a brief nebulous descriptions of agenda items.
Most public meetings are held during the hours many people are working at their jobs. Most public meetings are making decisions about how to spend taxpayer money.

In my Sunday paper was an article: A Sam Adams is running for Mayor in Portland Oregon. Well, he's in trouble with the big Sam Adams Brewer over the use of the name and his signs and website advertising his candadicy. Sam Adams response (the mayoral candidate was, "What! I've been using my name since 1963. Before they were even in business."
All I can say on this is it's one of the most absurd legal disputes I have ever heard of. But with your answers, I sure would like to hear of others.
