Dems try to win GOP support for Iraq resolution

Scientists fear global warming oversold
Houston Chronicle
"Problem is, global warming may not have caused Hurricane Katrina, and last summer's heat waves were equaled and, in many cases, surpassed by heat in the 1930s."
ExxonChevronTexaconNeocon junk science attempts to cast "global warming scientists" as equivalent to corporate special interests typically refer to opinions of "scientists" rather than "a fraction of one percent of scientists."
"Climate scientists might be expected to bask in the spotlight after their decades of toil."
But fame and fortune must wait until they get their facts straight.

Cancer study ordered into mobile phones
Times Online
"Asked whether the mobile phone could turn out to be the cigarette of the 21st century in terms of the damage it could inflict, he replied: 'Absolutely.'"
They obviously make you an idiot long before giving you a tumor.

I see no reason that we should be needing any more troops after the month and a half is up for most of the last deployment. Draft alert.

So you call this winter?
CNN
"The weather is prone to short-term fluctuations, and forecasters said the mild winter does not necessarily mean global warming is upon us. In fact, the Plains have been hit by back-to-back blizzards in the past two weeks."
Three record breaking back-to-back blizzards "in fact."

"The reason for the forecast is mostly due to El Nino..."

New plan includes series of goals for Iraq leaders
New York Times
"'If the president wants to add to this mission, he is going to have to justify it,'" Mrs. Pelosi said...
After claiming to be stuck by their support of war powers based on deceptive claims of justification by the president, the Dems insist on claims of justification by the president as a condition for continuing support. No more blank checks and transfered balances, though. We insist the amount be written in in ink, and no more leaving space on the right for more zeros. We're on to you.
