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."

The 1922 article, obtained by Inside the Beltway, goes on to mention "great masses of ice have now been replaced by moraines of earth and stones," and "at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared."

This was one of several such articles I have found at the Library of Congress for the 1920s and 1930s," says Mr. Lockwood. "I had read of the just-released NASA estimates, that four of the 10 hottest years in the U.S. were actually in the 1930s, with 1934 the hottest of all."

In a memo to senior producers this afternoon, FNC's SVP of programming, Bill Shine announced the network "will not continue the Half Hour News Hour beyond its current 15 episode run."

This show was supposed to be a conservative version of 'The Daily Show'. Why is it being cancelled?

1) The Daily Show is funny because it's true, not because it has a liberal bias.
2) If you're on the Fox Network, you just ain't funny.
3) Reality has a liberal bias.
4) Conservatives are more of a joke than liberals.
5) Conservatives prefer rage and fear to humor.
6) The Fox Network itself is already a parody.

This would make an abortion a cover up of a crime and abortionists would be punished .
We have licenses and permits for everything so why not Becoming pregnant .
I can not even sell American flags on a corner without a license .
Bringing a child into the world without a license or proper preparation leads to billions and billions of tax dollars going to care for them .

This would be an easy why to slow the rampant reproduction of those who only leech off the system and cause great amounts of tax payer dollars to be spent to care for these kids .

Making people responsible by having a license is the only responsible thing we can do to protect kids .

Almost everyone drives and we need licenses to protect everyone else .

I am not saying we stop people from having sex but like speeding not using birth control can get you a ticket a fine and jail for repeat offenders .

Its just irresponsible to reproduce without any consideration for everyone else who will pay for your actions .

In a free market, the corporations dominate and power is taken from the people.
In a socialist society the government has more power than the corporations and often redistributes wealth from the highest income earners to help the lowest, for the good of the whole society....less crime etc...

The problem lies in, who is more corrupt? the government or the profit driven corporations,,,
Sometimes when the government has to much power they become corrupt... I do admit, but we do elect them.... that can be fixed......
also note that the government can provide services much cheaper with no need to maximize profits,,,, would you prefer your electric company to be for profit? or a service handled by government? Which do you think would be cheaper?

Corporations have way too much power, even over our media.

are you for the free market or government control?
which corrupts the fastest and which one is easiest to replace

EXCERPTS FROM ARTICLE:
Giuliani said he would require a uniform identification card for foreign workers and students and create a central database to track the legal status of visitors to the country. He told the crowd of more than 300 that 12 million immigrants have entered the country illegally.

"That's a lot of people to walk over your border without being identified," he said.

ROMNEY SAYS:
Rival Mitt Romney has criticized Giuliani on immigration, arguing that he supported illegal immigration when he was mayor — a charge Giuliani rejected.

Romney said last week that Giuliani "instructed city workers not to provide information to the federal government that would allow them to enforce the law. New York City was the poster child for sanctuary cities in the country."

I often hear people say they believe a woman should only have an abortion in the event of rape, incest, or life of the mother. Or abortion SHOULD be legal because of those things. The question I have is how do you define rape? Is physical evidence needed to prove rape? Many times rape is not reported by the victim, so if she does not report it, and finds out later she is pregnant, and wants an abortion because she was raped, but there is not any physical evidence. Also, if a patient tells a doctor they are victim of a crime, is the Doctor under any obligation to report the crime to the police?
I am not trying to be funny, or make light of a violent crime.
And if you say the woman's word is enough, should the authorities be notified? And if the ONLY way to get an abortion were to say she was raped, would she lie to get one?If you say physical evidence is needed, then a woman is victimized twice.
I am very pro life, BTW! I believe abortion is wrong.
Thank You!

My GOD LIBS...Just Freaking RELAX!!!

No one in this country or this administration is going to force you to serve in Iran, Iraq and Afganistan against your will. Mostly young conservative men and women are doing that for you. So here is a "suggestion" shut thefvckup and let the troops do their job so they can come home. Pour a glass of white wine, light up some weed and pop your copy of Broke Back Mountain into your DVD player and RELAX. No one is going to draft you from your Mommys basement.

PS: When the troops do return home...please refrain from spitting on them like you did to their fathers when they returned home from Nam.

due to excessive government spending, Social Security, Medicare/caid, and in all probability UHC, will American citizens:

A) Blame it on evil greedy capitalists who made too much money and selfishly refused to continue to pay a higher portion of their earnings in taxes?

or

B) Realize..hey, Socialism doesn't work, regardless of whether it brought about by revolution or a gradual transition. Maybe we should have learned from the USSR, Cuba, etc. From now on, we are going to respect private property rights and limit the size of our government, much as our founding fathers had envisioned?

If a woman wants to donate a kidney, that is her right. Check the kidney's DNA and it matches her. If she gives blood, it will match her DNA. If she has liposuction, what is removed has her DNA.

But when she has an abortion, what is removed does not match her DNA.

In a criminal trial, if the DNA of a person is found, do they charge the mother with a crime? No. Why? It is not hers, it is her child's. How do they know? The DNA is not the same.

The fetus is not her DNA. It is a different person because it has human DNA which is different than hers. So doesn't that mean it is not only her body that is affected during an abortion?

When the state provides all your needs, why should you look for a job?

When will we come to realize that the “benevolent paternalism” of a generous government does more harm than good?

Decades of welfare-state coddling have created a permanent American underclass feeding at the government teet and voting for democrats to give them more goodies.

I have noticed, of late, many misconceptions about Canadians in posts. So that leads me to wonder - what is the general opinion or impression of Canadians held by the American people?

08-14-07 Four suicide bombers nearly struck simtaneously at communities of a small Kurdish sect in NW Iraq, killing at least 175 people and wounding 200 more.

The only thing that's "rosy" now is my forehead because I get a little steamed when I think of how arrogantly President Bush has actively defied the will of the American people.

if you are so for the war why aren't you fighting?.....is it hypercritical to support the war and not fight in the war?

Last week we got another glimpse of the Left’s true feelings about our troops. At a campaign breakfast in Iowa, anti-war Daily Kos diarist Rachel Griffiths asked Mitt Romney why none of his five sons enlisted in the military. It’s a popular form of “gotcha” that the Left likes to play in order to bring out their favorite cat call – Hypocrite! Romney responded, “My sons are all adults and they’ve made decisions about their careers and they’ve chosen not to serve in the military and active duty and I respect their decision in that regard. One of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I’d be a great president.”

With all the radical alliances they have formed , it's difficult to see them as good for America . Sure , they do good from time to time , but Al Capone gave loads of money to the poor so I guess you could say he did some good too but that doesn't make him a good guy .

I'd really appreciate your thoughtful opinions .
Thank you .
