U.S. Legislation Would Bring Wind Power to ‘Grinding Halt’
May 29th, 2007Power crisis? The only power crisis we have involves the people in power. Isn’t it interesting how this affects individuals who use wind turbines?!

U.S., Iran End 27-Year Diplomatic Freeze
May 29th, 2007Incredible. Which “Diplomatic Freeze” are we talking about, precisely? Halliburton has no problem with doing business with Iran. If you think that’s illegal under U.S. law, think again: It’s just another Halliburton oil and gas operation.

Creationist Museum Brings Dinosaurs on Board Noah’s Ark
May 28th, 2007I wonder how many people will tell me about their plans to leave the U.S. today. Via: timesonline: A vegetarian Tyrannosaurus rex frolicked alongside human beings only a few thousand years ago in the Garden of Eden until Eve decided to munch on that apple, according to the Creation Museum, which opens in Kentucky today. […]
UK on the Brink
May 28th, 2007I don’t know why they just don’t get on with it. Via: Guardian: The home secretary, John Reid, made clear yesterday he is prepared to declare a “state of emergency” to suspend key parts of the human rights convention if the law lords do not overturn a series of judgments that have weakened the anti-terrorist […]
