		<description>And by the way Muslim-hater Nathan, I do NOT hate Israel so stop with your malicious lies.  I believe that Israel's security will be enhanced with well-defined defendable borders.</description>

		<description>Ben,

The question was, who are they holding as hostage.

I have no doubt that there are children being held.  How does that make them Hostages?

It is the untruthful language you use Ben which makes the difference.</description>

		<description>Iknow Hillary is a lawyer and all, but I don't think she's ever acted as a judge.  I LOVE Hillary you know, but I really think even proposing such a thing is a mockery to the SCOTUS and the laws of this land.

Of course, I believe the crap Bush tried to pull was a mockery too, but...I'd expect them to do that kind of thing.

No,  A SCOTUS judge needs lifelong experience on the bench, day in and out, and appeals court experience, and a real dedication to the constitution, even if it against something they personally feel strong about.  Sorry but I don't want a crony court like we've got now.

I think she deserves the VP seat, and I think this is all nonsense at trying to get us HIllary supporters appeased.

No, The vp seat will do just fine thanks.</description>

		<description>Well, well, well: the House Judiciary Committee has voted out a subpeona for Karl Rove to testify regarding the White House's firing of U.S. Attorneys, and the prosecution of Gov. Don Siegelman (D-AL).

"May 22, 2008
House Panel Subpoenas Rove 
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 2:34 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove as part of its inquiry into whether the Bush administration politically meddled at the Justice Department. 

Accusations of politics governing decisions at the agency led to the resignation of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. 

The subpoena issued Thursday orders Rove to testify before the House panel on July 10. He is expected to face questions about the White House's role in firing nine U.S. attorneys in 2006 and the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama, a Democrat. 

House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers had negotiated with Rove's attorneys for more than a year over whether the former top political adviser to President Bush would testify voluntarily."

Good.  Let the pig testify, under oath, before the TV cameras.  And if he refuses to appear, arrest his sorry fat ass for contempt of Congress.</description>

		<description>Nathan,

There were 700 million people on Earth in 1750.  Less people, but they were burning all that wood back then.  

And the cows, there were still cows farting.</description>

		<description>Here we go again...

Yes, some creationist use Intelligent Design to try to support their views and beliefs.

That doesn't mean that all Intelligent Design is based on creationism when it is not.

No more than Evolutionary Theory is Atheism because Atheists use it to support their views and beliefs.</description>

		<description>Nathan,

Why don't you just read Chapter 2 at http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/ar4-wg1.htm

"extremely likely3"  3 = footnote 3

"3 The use of ‘extremely likely’ is an example of the calibrated language used in this document, it represents a 95% confidence level or higher; ‘likely’ (66%) is another example (See Box TS.1)."</description>

What does "extemely likely" mean?  Doesn't sound too scientific to me.</description>

		<description>Ah, the old natural selection/survival of the fittest tautology.

They survived because they were the fittest. And they are the fittest because they survived.

Survival of the luckiest would have little appeal.</description>

		<description>McBush just "rejected" his Rev. Hagee's endorsement?  What does that mean?  And Sam Brownback?  Does he now feel remorse and regret for having spent the last year cultivating Hagee?  

And how can Sam, and his coworker Pat Roberts, look themselves in the mirror everyday knowing they helped sell an unjust war (based on Catholic doctrine and the Pope's own words)?</description>

		<description>but, but cuz Maggotpunk,

Why do we still have cockroaches basically unchanged for 10s of millions of years?

Why are there flightless birds like the Ostrich?

What inspirational moment in the Universe of the beginning created the 'spark' that started the amino acids from that primordial ooze into a four-legged live-born bearing, hairy, breast feeding mammal?

What exactly caused that spark?

If gravity affects light which has no mass, how can we know that something beyond our range of extrapolating light even exists?  

Explain nothingness.</description>
