Up for Debate: SCOTUS, the sheriff and strip searches

90 degrees will feel good come summer.

That doesn't look good on the funding requests though and serves no end toward world egalitarianism; so we get" Anthropological global warming by the hands of evil American Capitalist Pigs!" instead. Follow the money, as they say.

It's our successes in fighting aerosol pollution that has caused the warming trend of recent record gd.

Aerosol pollution is why we have to wear SPF 400 to spend an hour out in the sun. Though I do agree that correcting man-made pollution has altered the global weather pattern. Only an idiot would think man doesn't affect it.

Betcha a beer I'm right gd... though I'm not sure that the climate industry and its benefactors in government will ever admit it.

I use to right a for an environmental blog and did a ton of research on it. Look up the "weekend effect" ... the "China Paradox"... it only makes sense that a weather change we can measure over a weekend without traffic could be experienced over decades of cleaner and cleaner air in cities due to higher emission standards.

We also have seen the warming reach a peak that I predicted instead of continuing to rise and rise like all of the models in the 90s were saying. It's because we have hit a point of diminishing returns in how much aerosol pollution we can remove from the air. CO2 is a trailing trend not the primary cause.

Boy....I leave you guys alone for a few hours and look what happens....you end up fantasizing about what Ruth Bader Ginsburg wore under her judicial robes....you need constant supervision?

Yes, Ben, I too though SCOTUS looked too much like SCROTUM when aligned with "strip search"....must be us, not the NCP...they are too innocent? I used the USSC acronym...for the sake of the cheeeldren.

Santorum just quit the race. Looks like the underwhelming choice for GOP will be Romney.

That sound you hear is millions of Republicans putting their fist through a wall.

Don't worry about it slack, that was the 70's. People thought polyester was cool.

About 3.7 million Americans live within a few feet of high tide and risk being hit by more frequent coastal flooding in coming decades because of the sea level rise caused by global warming, according to new research.

If the pace of the rise accelerates as much as expected, researchers found, coastal flooding at levels that were once exceedingly rare could become an every-few-years occurrence by the middle of this century.

It will be cleaned up, gd. They are comparable to us in the 30s to the 60's right now and we've already invented all the technology they will need to clean it up. They just have to get the majority of their population up living on more than just a dollar or so a day. Until then they've rightly got priorities other than the environment.

I hope you're right Ben, but given that these countries give a rats ass about their people, I tend to be more pessimistic until I actually see them clean it up.

By the way, my weed eater is responsible for at least a .02 change in global temps...but it cuts really well so suck it.

It was just pure greed for furniture covering, which leaded to the extinction of the poor Naga.

20/20 and 60 minutes are just chomping at the bit to do the spooky Mormon expose after the nomination is locked in. Mittens is the one the Obama crew wanted to go up against. Now they've got another couple of divisive wedges they can use... conservatives vs. republicans and Christians vs. Mormons. Plus it shores up the class envy wedge and probably doesn't hurt the women's wedge either.

lol nemo.

Many think that Tom Hanks, anticipating that Mitt would get the nomination, produced the series: ''Big Love''

Mitt Romney has a plan for the nation's ladies....he's 100% in favor of a woman's right to choose and he supports the idea of a national healthcare plan to cover the costs of an abortion....for Israeli women.....the Israeli fetus has no right-to-life, it seems; but Israel has a right-to-exist, as a Jewish state....Mitt is a statist.

Mitt has never spoken out about the Israeli "abortion mills"...check it out for yourselves....some 50,000 Israeli abortions are performed annually, in a nation of 6 million, that is a high rate, folks....here's my source:

Somebody needs to question Mitt about his double standard on this issue.

Again, I support a woman's right to choose...I object the GOP hypocrisy on this.

Nemo, I think Al Gore came up with Willie Horton.

Nemo, dig deeper. You'll find that Al Gore brought it up with Dukakis.

Soory slackers, I’m familiar with the Al Gore part of it and I am having a hard time finding anything about it.

Hannity's claim that it was Gore, and not the Bush-Quayle '88 campaign, who engaged in race-baiting by using the Horton case against Dukakis is false. During a 1988 Democratic primary debate, Gore did ask Dukakis about "weekend passes for convicted criminals." But as Slate "Chatterbox" columnist Timothy Noah noted on November 1, 1999, "Gore never mentioned that Horton was black; indeed, he never mentioned Horton by name."

Nemo, George Bush ran with the Horton deal of course. But Al Gore did mention it first.
My point was, both sides will throw any garbage they can come up with at each other.
These campaigns are way to long. But negative campaigning has always been the norm in our country.

I think you're both wrong. Obama first mentioned Willy. This was part of the conspiracy to put him in the White House. They knew that if Dukakis won, there would never be another Democrat elected again, so he sabotaged his campaign, thus ensuring that 20 years later the country would succumb to a Marxist Black Theologan with Communist sympathy that is likely the anti-Christ.

Right yogi?

Dukakis committed political suicide with the Tank Commander pictures.

Well, we went from strip searching to soul searching here today....from Sheriff Hall to Willie Horton...and a good riddance to Rick Santorum....we hope....the guy could be like a rotting zombie...popping up again.....as the GOP's Veep candidate in 2012?

Question of the day: Who looked sillier...Dukakis in that snoopy-style tanker's helmet....or Junior Bush in that Flight-suit with cod-piece? Two chickenhawks playing soldier.....it would funny, if it were not so despicable.

Unless Bibi Netanyahu attacks the Persians this Summer, this is Obama's election to lose.....let's hope that the Chosen People choose wisely...our economy and our government is in their blessed hands.

Where is Ron Paul? We need a savior.
