Actually, I have seen some ultra hot Indian women on the local ethnic channel. But that Bollywood music is worse than the screech from fighting cats.
They can't seem to make up their minds, Global Warming, Climate Change, Glaobal Climate Change, or Global Cooling. How about we call it what it is "Global Scam".
They don't have to make up their minds. Oceania has always been at war.
The world will experience climate change global cooling this year, according a leading climate scientist. The head of the World Meteorological Organisation said La Nina - the weather phenomenon which is cooling the Pacific - is likely to trigger a small drop in average global temperatures compared with last year.
The prediction - which follows a bitterly cold winter in China and the Arctic - is prompting some sceptics to question the theory of global warming climate change. The news that the earth appears to be cooling would seem to contradict most experts who say that climate change global warming is melting ice at the Poles
The REAL inconvenient truth: Zealotry over climate change global warming could damage our Earth far more than climate change. However, the World Meteorological Organisation insists that this year's cooling has nothing to do with global climate change. Now there' a new wrinkle "Global Climate Change".
In fact, this year's temperatures could still be way above the average - and it is possible that 2008 will exceed the record year of 1998 because of global warming induced by greenhouse gases.
La Nina typically lasts for 12 months. In recent months it caused one of the coldest winters in memory in China, and brought torrential rains to Australia. While La Nina can affect weather around the world, it is usually less of an influence than El Nino. In an El Nino year, the Pacific warms up.
Michel Jarraud, the World Meteorological Organisation's secretary general, said La Nina was expected to continue into the summer, depressing global temperatures by a fraction of a degree.
But he said temperatures in 2008 would still be well above average for the last 100 years. The Met Office predicts that 2008 will be around 0.4C warmer than the average for 1961-1990.
It said temperatures are influenced by a range of variables - including changes in the sun's output, pollution and weather cycles such as La Nina. But most scientists argue that the long-term temperature rises since 1880 can only be explained by carbon dioxide from human activity.
It's Bush's fault the Sun Spots are gone and it's letting in more Cosmic Rays bombard the Earth and increase the Hygroscopic Nuclei thus causing more clouds and global cooling.

But most scientists argue that the long-term temperature rises since 1880 can only be explained by carbon dioxide from human activity.
First of all, it may be many "scientists", but it is not most scientists.
Second, How do they know that the only influence is man made carbon dioxide? CO2 is not the major green house gas in the atmosphere - water vapor is.
Third, most of the climate models make simplifying assumptions so that they are tractable. Unfortunately, it is likely that those assumptions also make them invalid. The interactions between and among solar radiation, ocean temperatures, land mass, pollution and dust in the atmosphere, ice pack, glacier melt (or not), and other minor factors like CO2, are not well understood or modeled.

"This year's cooling has nothing to do wid global climate change ... ...@, > IOW, WORLD PERTS STILL DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING ON WID OUR SUN = GOD + DEEP SPACE, + CANNOT CONFIRM OR DENY THE EMPIRICAL RELIABILITY = UNRELIABILITY OF THEIR OWN MODELES AND THEORIES, ETC - YOU KNOW, WHY THEY KNOW EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING, ERGO KNOW NOTHING.
Must be nice to unilater make important decisions and binding conclusions for a lot of people = entire Planet widout having to explain anything, seek opinions, nor be held responsible for any detrimental outcome(s), etc.

expect increasingly hysterical pronouncements of "could" and "may" as the Glowball Warming Grant-Whores try to defend their cult against facts. The Consensus may become less consensusy frayed, leading to excommunication and slurs...
as long as they go down without implementing their economic destruction to assuage their moralistic guilt, I'm OK with the bloodletting

The problem is Frank, they will try to take us down with them.
We are not the cause, the sun and other factors are. Spend the money on researching crops that are hardy to heat or cold and don't need much water for crying out loud and shut the fuck up.

Agreed - see this as a tide-turning year, working against Gore and his sorry-ass ilk.

Yeah right. Take a gander at the bottom graph at this link - it's the monthly temps and we're back to the mid '90s (so far). In fact, the last two months have temps similar to 1877.
Robert Mugabe sent gangs of militant supporters to invade white farms yesterday. The move indicates he is ready to use violence to cling on to power.
War veterans from Zimbabwe's liberation struggle invaded eight of the few remaining white-owned commercial farms, driving at least four cattle ranchers off their land and seizing equipment and livestock.
"I've got one farmer and his wife with two young children and people banging on windows, beating drums and telling them to vacate the farm," Hendrik Olivier, the head of the Commercial Farmers' Union said.
State radio reported the war veterans had threatened to occupy all white farms in the southern Masvingo province. The resurgence of the war veterans, who led violent occupations of white farms during the government's land redistribution programme, raised fears that Mugabe's supporters would physically intimidate opponents ahead of a presidential election run-off.
A high court judge is to rule today on an opposition demand to publish the results of the March 29 presidential poll. But Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party has demanded a vote recount, and a further delay in the release of results.
The opposition Movement for Democratic Change - which claims its leader Morgan Tsvangirai won the vote outright - said it would not accept a recount and did not want a run-off. "How do you have a vote recount for a result that has not been announced? That is ridiculous," said opposition spokesman Nelson Chamisa. "We are not going to accept the so- called run- off. It is going to be a 'run- over' of Zimbabwe. People are going to be killed. We are not so naive a leadership to lead our people to slaughter."
He accused Zanu-PF of vote fraud, saying that police have told opposition leaders that the ruling party has been tampering with ballots since early last week. A lawyer for Zanu-PF called for a recount because of "errors and miscalculations in the compilation of the poll result".
'Miscalculation'? I'd call that an accurate statement.
The party asked the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to defer announcing the presidential election results because of these "anomalies".
Unofficial tallies by independent monitors show Mr Tsvangirai won more votes than Mugabe - but fewer than the 50 per cent required to avoid a run-off.
On Saturday Mr Tsvangirai called on Mugabe to step down and accused him of "preparing a war against the people" to boost his chances of winning a second vote. He expressed fears that the state would mobilise the armed forces, youth brigades and war veterans to terrorise voters into supporting the 84-year- old, who has ruled Zimbabwe since his guerilla army helped overthrow white minority rule in 1980.
But he stopped short of saying the opposition would boycott any run-off.
Mugabe has been accused of winning previous elections through violence and intimidation. Scores of opponents were killed during the 2002 and 2005 campaigns. His popularity has been battered by an economic collapse following the often-violent seizures of white-owned commercial farms since 2000. Some 5,000 farms were seized and about 300 white farmers remain on the land.
A third of the population has fled the country and 80 per cent are jobless. Inflation is the highest in the world at more than 100,000 per cent.
Official results for parliamentary elections, held alongside the presidential race, showed Zanu-PF had lost its majority in the parliament for the first time in the country's history. Final results for the 60 elected seats in the senate gave the ruling party and the opposition 30 seats each.

I don't think there's anything stopping him this time either.
#2

The childish simplicity in that statement is positively charming.
The newsworthy bits here are that any white farmers are still left in Zimbabwe and that there are people ZimBob has not already bought off using seized farms as currency.

Next up for redistribution: farms owned by light skinned blacks.
Zimbabwe's High Court says it will rule Monday on a request to order the immediate release of results from the March 29 presidential election. A High Court judge made the announcement after a hearing Sunday that was prompted by a petition from the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
Zimbabwe's electoral commission has yet to release any results from the presidential vote eight day ago. The delay has raised concerns that the government of President Robert Mugabe is trying to rig the outcome. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai says he defeated President Mugabe in the contest. Independent observers agree, but say Mr. Tsvangirai did not win the majority needed to avoid a runoff.

LA CALERA, Chile - Chile on Sunday greeted 39 Palestinians from a refugee camp in Syria for permanent resettlement, and local residents turned out to give them a rousing welcome. Leave your suffering in the past and let Chile be the fountain of your newfound happiness, deputy Interior Secretary Felipe Harboe told the tired newcomers, who spent 40 hours traveling to this farming community north of Santiago.
Don't worry, the Paleos will find a way to 'repay' your generosity ...
The Palestinians, 23 of them children, were greeted by an official welcoming committee and many cheering locals who waved Palestinian flags and signs recalling their own Middle Eastern descent from immigrants who arrived when La Calera was founded in the late 19th century.
Through you we relive the adventure of being an immigrant, La Calera Mayor Roberto Chahuan, the grandchild of Palestinians, told the exhausted refugees who were to be settled in apartment buildings in the town. After the ceremony, the Palestinian families were escorted to their apartments. Local authorities will provide education, health care and Spanish classes.
Thinking they'll just assimilate, huh ...
The 39 Palestinians are the first of a group of 117 Chile has accepted to resettle under a 2007 program it agreed to with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. The remaining refugees accepted in Chile will arrive in two groups in the coming weeks for resettlement in San Felipe, north of Santiago, and two neighborhoods in the capital.

The "sufferings" of the Palestininas. The international aid per head to the Palestinians amounts to more than an Egyptain earns through work.
Wouldn't it be more logical to settle Egyptians instead?
And if we talk of suffering what about the victims of Arab fascism in Sudan. Take a look at Darfur children: you can count their ribs. Take a look at Palestinian children: they tend to be overweight.
The head of Norway's sports confederation, alarmed by the protests surrounding the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay, wants the International Olympic Committee to consider halting the event. Confederation president Tove Paule claimed the IOC is worried as well.
The torch relay has become a target for demonstrators protesting the Chinese authorities' recent crackdown in Tibet and alleged human rights abuses. When the torch was run through London on Sunday, some protesters tried to extinguish it, claiming China is unworthy of hosting the upcoming summer Olympics in Beijing.
Demonstrators, claiming that human rights abuses defy the very spirit of the Olympic Games, were also expected to disrupt the torch relay when it arrived in Paris on Monday. Chaos ensued and the Olympic torch was extinguished and interrupted.
Paule, who functions as head of the Norwegian Olympic Committee in her role as president of the Norwegian Confederation of Sports (Norges Idrettsforbund), is in Beijing herself attending meetings of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC). She said the Chinese censored TV coverage of the London protests, and that she found it upsetting when her TV screen "went black." She was aware, though, of what was happening in London and said that it was "very sad." The torch relay, she noted on national radio Monday morning, is meant to reflect the "peace and joy" of the Olympics, "that we stand together."
Interesting how a Nazi propaganda symbol has morphed into 'peace and joy'. Oh well ...
She indicated that the cause of the protests, and the growing international unease over the Chinese response to it, must be addressed. "It's time to call a spade a spade," she said, calling on the IOC to clearly express its concerns to the Chinese hosts before problems become even bigger. She told newspaper Aftenposten that there was little point in holding the torch relay if it would only attract trouble. Gutsy call to make while in the shadow of the Forbidden City.
It was unclear whether Paule's call would be heeded. ANOC President and IOC member Mario Vázquez Raña claimed his organisation did not have any major concerns as far as the upcoming Games were concerned, and that he expected "even fewer living dissidents problems" as the Games drew closer.
Vázquez Raña claimed he had seen "many improvements" in the city of Beijing over the years, and that he was sure the Games had contributed to that progress. He hoped the Beijing Games would "serve humanity, allowing for greater understanding between the peoples of the world," and "be of great benefit to China." Yep, I'm getting that 1936 vibe ...
Some No[r]wegian sports officials and former athletes selected to run with the torch claimed it was important that the relay continue, calling it a symbol that should transcend politics. Paule herself has indicated she opposes a boycott of the Olympics or even just its opening ceremonies.
The Chinese authorities, meanwhile, showed no signs of remorse over their crackdown on dissent. They branded the protests against the torch relay as a form of "disgusting" sabotage by "Tibetan separatists." Not, of course, to be confused with "Han supremicists".

FOX NEWS AM > reports that pro-TIBET, anti-PRC/China demonstrators in FRANCE have twice succeeded in putting out the OLYMPIC TORCH FLAME + delayed passage along the Olympic route. TORCH + RUNNERS/ESCORTS had to run inside a bus to protect relighted Flame? + escape/divert from angry protesters???
The Olympic torch has been extinguished by officials and put on a bus during the Paris leg of its relay amid anti-China protests, The Associated Press has reported. The incident came one day after anti-Chinese demonstrators made its journey through London more like running the gauntlet than a journey of celebration.
Thousands of French police are on duty to protect the Olympic torch after it departed from the Eiffel Tower at around 1030 GMT (0630 ET). It is then due to be carried through the boulevards of the French capital amid threats of protests. Paris police have conceived a security plan to keep the torch in a safe "bubble," during its 17-mile (28 km) journey, with a multi-layered protective force to surround the torch as it moves along the route.
French torchbearers will be encircled by several hundred officers, some in riot police vehicles and on motorcycles, others on rollerblades and on foot. Chinese torch escorts will immediately surround the torchbearer, with Paris police on rollerblades moving around them. French firefighters in jogging shoes will encircle the officers on rollerblades while motorcycle police will form the outer layer of security.
You have to wonder what the point is, if the torch can't be shown in public without a fair segment of the public wanting it snuffed out ...
The relay route in Paris is also significantly shorter than in London Sunday.
But the head of Reporters Without Borders, a French-based group that disrupted last month's torch lighting ceremony in Olympia, Greece, has told CNN his group has planned "something spectacular" to protest the relay.
Some torch bearers are expected to wear protest buttons while the Paris mayor has ordered a banner over City Hall that reads "Paris City of Human Rights." On Monday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said all options remained open for Paris concerning a possible boycott of the opening of the Beijing Olympics, The Associated Press reported.
After it has left the Eiffel Tower, the torch was scheduled to be carried past Parisian landmarks including the Arc d'Triomphe, the Place de la Concord, The Louvre and Notre Dame.
French Olympic champion Marie-Josee Perec, Portugal forward Pedro Miguel Pauleta and badminton player Pi Hongyan are among the featured torch bearers. At least six groups have permits to protest along the route, but only for demonstrations well away from the flame's path.
Over the last five weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has featured in her campaign stump speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee.
The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at OBleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured. We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story, said Rick Castrop, chief executive officer of the OBleness Health System.
Linda M. Weiss, a spokeswoman for the not-for-profit hospital, said the Clinton campaign had never contacted the hospital to check the accuracy of the story, which Mrs. Clinton had first heard from a Meigs County, Ohio, sheriffs deputy in late February.

Playing fast and loose with the truth in an attempt to foist a Cubanized medical system on this country. If she lies on the stump, you know she'll lie in the White House. But the amazing thing is how blatant and obvious some of these lies are. She must be off her rocker. Either that or she is getting really, really desperate.

IT's truthy, so of course she believed it, as did the Sheriff's deputy who told it to her. I predict it will circulate forever as an urban myth, one of the few that can actually be sourced.

. . . There was some time to kill as multiple tallies of the delegates and alternates were done, and when the time-killer of taking audience questions had run its course and the idea of teling jokes had been nixed, someone suggested doing the Pledge of Allegiance to pass the time. (Are you listening, right-wing bloggers? This is going to get good.)
At the mere mention of doing the pledge there were groans and boos. Then, when the district chair put the idea of doing the Pledge of Allegiance up to a vote, it was overwhelmingly voted down. One might more accurately say the idea of pledging allegiance to the flag (of which there was only one in the room, by the way, on some delegates hat) was shouted down. . . .

Mark J. Penn quit his role as chief strategist for the Clinton campaign on Sunday after months of dissatisfaction with his performance and a recent conflict of interest involving his corporate work. Although rumors of his firing had circulated for months, it was another stunning upheaval in a struggling campaign that has already had one staff shakeup.
The immediate trigger for Penn's departure was a meeting he held last week with the Colombian ambassador to the United States to advocate for a free trade agreement that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton opposes. Penn held the meeting in his capacity as chief executive officer for the public relations giant Burson-Marsteller -- and it underscored the tricky nature of his effort to play both corporate executive and a political adviser over the last year.
Senator Clinton was "disappointed that the meeting had occurred," a senior Clinton adviser said, reiterating the candidate's opposition to the deal.
But there were underlying tensions between Penn and other Clinton advisers from the outset, and they escalated with each of her defeats. Critics complained that Penn was too data-driven and obstinate, blaming him for the failure to "humanize" Clinton in the early days of the race. Although he wrote the "3 a.m." advertisement, arguably the most renowned ad of the campaign to date and one that helped propel her to victory in the Ohio and Texas primaries, Penn faced overwhelming opposition from senior Clinton advisers, particularly Harold Ickes and Howard Wolfson.

Maybe if she promised to scrub all of our floors twice during her Administration.

I see this as the final nail in the coffin for Hillary's campaign. The timing is awful and the reason that Penn was forced to quit plays badly with the Democratic base.
She will win another few states but her candidacy is too damaged to receive the nomination. Obama survived the Wright revelations and has regained momentum. With his tight campaign organization and skillful fundraising apparatus he will make a formidable opponent for Senator McCain in the Fall.

I think you may be correct,GL3518. I think she's done and we can put the fork in her. Bill must be crushed that he couldn't pull this off. He had this so well figured..he thought. On the other hand, I really think McCain, especially, can beat Hussein much easier than Billary. The lefty fanatics, the ill-informed, and theHollywood elitists may support the Magic Man, but I think the Reagan Demos will switch to McCain. The crossovers may be as much as 30% of their tag team. McCains got to quit smarting off and say things real Republicans want to hear. He's got to convince everyone he's not going to pull the big double cross with Fat Ted and friends in two years. Hussein is very, very beatable. His total basis of support is all blacks @ 13% of total population + 25-30 % of Dummocratic "Big Tent". There's a lot of voters left if they get off thier asses and vote.

It is nearly 40 years since the Chagos islanders were evicted by the British government from their Indian Ocean home, but the legal battle aimed at giving them the right to return is still continuing. This week, in the House of Lords, a resettlement plan for the islanders will be symbolically presented to the Chagossians' leader in exile in the hope of speeding a conclusion to the bitterly fought dispute.
The residents of the archipelago were removed in 1971 to make way for a military base in Diego Garcia. They were dispatched to Mauritius and the Seychelles, where many have since died in poverty. They received limited compensation in 1982 in return for signing away their rights to return and in 2002 they were granted British citizenship.
Ten years ago the Chagossians, some of whom now live in England, began legal action for the right to return, and in 2000 the divisional court ruled their eviction illegal. The foreign secretary at the time, Robin Cook, agreed they should be allowed to return to all the islands except Diego Garcia.
However, after the September 11 attacks in the US, Diego Garcia became an important base for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2004 the UK government issued orders in council which negated the court's ruling, but two years later the high court ruled in favour of the Chagossians. In May last year the government lost again at appeal. In November the Lords granted the government leave to appeal but ordered it to pay all legal costs, regardless of the decision. The case has been allotted five days from June 30, after which every legal avenue will have been exhausted.
Richard Gifford, lawyer for the Chagossians, said: "We have now had three decisions in our favour, involving a total of seven judges." It would need "quite a cataclysm to decide that all seven were wrong". He added: "Legally, it is the end of the road for the government."
At the heart of the Chagossians' case is their claim that the resettlement is feasible, even given the time lapse. Tomorrow, the first independent resettlement plan will be handed to the Chagossian leader, Olivier Bancoult, in the presence of MPs, MEPs and peers, in what the islanders and supporters hope will be a persuasive case for a retreat by the government. The study, backed by the Let Them Return campaign and written by John Howell, former director of the Overseas Development Institute, suggests there are "no physical, economic or environmental reasons" why resettlement on the islands of Peros Banhos and Salomon should not happen. It suggests about 150 families, fewer than 1,000 people - about a quarter of those entitled to go back - would want to return. Eco-tourism and fish exports could provide jobs and income. The total cost to the UK of resettlement would be about £25m.
An FCO spokesman confirmed that the government appeal would go ahead.

"It would need quite a cataclysm ..." > ASK, AND YE SHALL RECEIVETH. The irony here is that even iff they did return to Chagos, PACIFIC "EARTH CHANGES" will cause them to leave again [after 2018]???
Still, there's something to be said about "going Home" no matter what they find in the end.
Well, the fishing there IS exceptional! Fresh yellowfin tuna ROAST anyone? Even so, there's no drinking water available, they'll have to cook their own. And import everything else except coconuts and fish.
