Fossil of Land-Dwelling Seal Found
2009-04-27 16:41:00 A fossilized skeleton of what researchers are calling a walking seal has been uncovered in the Canadian Arctic. Scientists have found the first skeleton of a land-dwelling relative of seals, sea lions, and walruses.

Buy A Ford
2009-04-25 00:59:00 Not only because they’re better than GM, but because they seem to be able to stay afloat without the government’s bailout money. And they’re doing it by being smart. Don’t spend more than you can afford. Weird concept, I know. But this does make one wonder something. Why hasn’t the ... More About: Ford

Cap-and-Trade is a Tax
2009-04-22 13:03:00 Thomas Friedman argues that a cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions is essentially a tax so we might as well go directly for a simple, transparent, carbon tax that sets goals for emission reductions and uses the proceeds to reduce people?s payroll taxes. In addition, this will also stimulate massive innovation in the next ... More About: Climate Change , Trade
Holocaust Remembrance Day
2009-04-21 14:00:00 21,000,000. That’s the estimated cost of the Nazi’s campaign. Think about that number. Twenty one million Jews, Soviets, disabled, Poles, Gays, Romani, Freemasons and Jehovah’s Witnesses gone. Twenty one million men, women and children dead.

What Has Happend To Janeane Garofalo?
2009-04-18 16:50:00 She use to be funny and I really liked her in Mystery Men and Copland, but lately she’s become of the most hateful and intolerant people on the planet. Let’s be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It’s not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea ... More About: Idiots , Celebrity , Janeane Garofalo
Brown University Won?t Celebrate Columbus Day
2009-04-17 16:27:00 Sort of. And speaking as a 1/2 Cherokee, I’m all in favor of doing away with this day. Christopher Columbus having his own day is like celebrating the captain of the first slave ship to leave Africa. He doesn’t deserve his own day. Because of his “heroic” actions, sailing off into ...

Cybersecurity Act
2009-04-12 01:33:00 Thoughts? I don’t know enough about these two bills, but it does seem that they give the president broad powers without really defining what those powers entail. And anytime you start getting the government involved in anything you should be wary. More About: Politics , Internet
