If said Balkanization comes with free airplanes for everyone, I'm all for it!
I'd be perfectly fine if they both just left public life entirely.Arlen Specter tells Michelle Bachmann to \"act like a lady.\"
He needs a "beard-pass" from his imam on a regulary basis? WTH?!A Muslim security guard working at the FBI headquarters in Manhattan is filing a lawsuit because he says he is discriminated against because of his beard.
Good for them. Even better that it will freak out the social conservatives.John McCain's wife and daughter pose for a campaign supporting gay marriage in California.
This guy should be fucking keelhauled...by a 747.TSA agent thought it would be funny to plant fake drugs on a traveler.
Thats pretty damning, not in a "global warming isn't happening way" (I'm not interested in that discussion again), but rather in a, Hey the UN's panel on this, you know the one who won a Nobel prize? They lied and made up stuff. Thats not terribly cool.The IPCC’s 2007 report, which won it the Nobel Peace Prize, said that the probability of Himalayan glaciers “disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high”.
But it emerged last week that the forecast was based not on a consensus among climate change experts, but on a media interview with a single Indian glaciologist in 1999.
The IPCC admitted on Thursday that the prediction was “poorly substantiated” in the latest of a series of blows to the panel’s credibility.
But Syed Hasnain, the Indian glaciologist erroneously quoted as making the 2035 prediction, said that responsibility had to lie with them. “It is the lead authors — blame goes to them,” he told The Times. “There are many mistakes in it. It is a very poorly made report.”
He and other leading glaciologists pointed out at least five glaring errors in the relevant section.
Isn't that what happens in religion too? If your beliefs don't match up with a certain major sect, you go and found your own sect and hope people join up!my undying faith in science died the day that my lab managers projects were rejected for being bad science. Instead of revising his experiments, he founded his own "scientific" journal...

I would never point someone to Newsbusters.
Already got a topic on it.The Tea Party Convention in Nashville next month is drawing criticism from some conservatives over media access, financing and its for profit status. What do you think? Is this much ado about nothing? Or does it sound \\"scammy\\" as this Red State blogger suggests.
Which ones? I just rechecked them, and the only one that didn't open was the guardian's story about the banned dictionary, but that's a problem on their end, not with the link. All the others seem to open.Also, some of your links seem to be messed up.
This made me lol and facepalm at the same time.Dictionaries have been removed from classrooms in southern California government schools after a parent complained about a child reading the definition for "oral sex."
When critics from both the left and right accuse a government of imperialism, maybe there's something to it.Yeah I can't take anything someone who refers to the government as "imperial" says seriously.

Awwwww. I didn't know you cared so much! I feel a little bad for discounting what you repeat hearing from Gasbandit all the time. I'll make the effort to at least give a chuckle, just for you. hwell:Considering the topic of the Newsbusters article Gas linked to I find Krisken's reaction hilarious. You know, more than normal.

It's entirely more likely that the uncertainty of the Job Market has resulted in less turn over in the service industry, as well as fewer people being able to move onto better paying jobs (ones where minimum wage isn't an issue) who are filling positions that said young people would normally apply for. I'm sure that the influx of people who lost their former jobs due to the recession aren't helping things ether.A record number of young Americans are unemployed. Could it have anything to do with the increase in the minimum wage? Just a question.
No, what you smell is the scent of professional journalism decaying in the corner. Or the stench of Pundit Based Programing.... I can never tell the difference.GasBandit said:New polling shows that Fox is the most trusted television news network in the country. I can just hear heads exploding.. heads that smell like patchouli
Are they helping, though?Professional journalism has been dead for a while, and I would hardly place the blame solely on Fox News.

I agree with the statement, but not the silly 'oh noes they're giving out too much on bonuses'. They could give zillions as a bonus as long as the bank is financially stable. Larger buffers are apparently needed and probably some more checks/regulation in order to minimize the risk of this happening again.French President Nicolas Sarkozy says that we need to fundamentally rethink capitalism.
