Funny thing... Guess who is most likely going to be on the January Ballot for the Iraq elections. Yeah its Saddam. His Lawyers are currently working on it and there is neither current Iraqi nor International law that prohibits this right now as he will not technically be guilty until after his trial so in closing. Iraqi's can elect Saddam
Big donars do it all the time so they aren't the only ones responsible for a campus and keep alumni involvement up. My Alma Mater raised 30million for a science building that way, $15 million came from the family the building is now named after. And their donation actually was $1 for every $1 donated by other individuals.
I foreone completely endorse the banning of 572's, but what are we going to do about 527's?
Seriously, Bush calling for the banning of 527's is not exactly 'genuine'. They both profited from 527 activity such as MoveOn.Org and Swift Boat veterans for Revenge. Now I don't know what your opinion is on either (but I can guess). They both deal in FUD to at least a certain degree.
But at this point we can't really ban 527's right now anyways, McCain-Feingold misfired and needs work...and somebody needs to hold advertisement to 'Truth in Advertisement' standards.
We'll see what happens next time around when its Jeb Bush vs. Democrat yet to be determined
The only study quoted i.e. the "Duke Study" "Over the past quarter century, elite military officers have largely abandoned political neutrality and have become partisan Republicans," the study announced, noting that 64 percent of those surveyed identified themselves that way." All other numbers quoted in the article are opinions of people in the military that probably is more favorable to their own stereotype.
64% is a far cry from 80%, also please not this study was done before Iraq, stop-loss orders, soldiers not being paid on time, being on duty for longer tours than usual, veterans benefits being cut aswell as hazard pay and reserves/national guard being used like regular troops.
I'd imagine that this development may sway some voters.
"The US had long tracked Iraq's possession of WMD, considering we provided them with much of that capability (Let's take another brief tangential stroll down the lane of liberal hypocrisy: that the US once supported Saddam against Iran, and provided Iraq with some of its WMD capabilities is something often bandied about."
You know I might be confused, but how is Reagan giving Saddam help in the 1980's to fight Iran liberal hypocrisy? Or have I never read about the great liberal heritage of Ronald Raygun?
Saddam was 1 year away from a nuke, that was in 1991, before the UNSCOM found the smoking gun showed it to the world. Now that was in 1991, curiously enough that didn't repeat in 2002 or 2003. I wonder why
I agree with you, The Cradle level in Thief 3 had me saving and saving and saving, turning on the light, checking under my bed. The first time I walked into the attic I was terrified expecting that crazy Grand mother monster to be sitting there waiting for me while eating a child or two.
It was actually scarier because there were fewer monsters, you just thought the entire time 'something is about to happen' and the suspense kept on building. That level is truly a master piece, and cost me a nights sleep.
Doom 3 so far has just been really annoying as that it is really dark, enemies are hard to see and when you shoot them in the head 4 times they keep on coming. The engine would have been a lot better if it was brighter and the physics would mimic combat with actual humans instead of going crazy arcade
Actually Republicans balancing the budget and being good for deficit reduction is a misconception. Regan, GB1 and GWB all have enourmous increases in the deficit during their time in office. Clinton had a major reduction leading to surplus while Carter had some reduction in deficit.
So saying that because Clinton could balance a budget that makes him Republican is disingenous.
And I would really like to know which social programs Bush is boosting. Since he did decrease combat hazard pay for the military and veterans medical benefits among other things.
Well you know 56,000 miles is pretty impressive, but 160k miles it is not. So the Shuttle still has a couple of magnitudes advantage over our x-prize favorites.
Maybe we should start a game like Survivor, and keep track of the editors dupe's. First editor to 5 is off the island... That should be a good 4 days entertainment
The reason that governments pay $1,500 for a toilet seat or a hammer is simply the costing method they use on some projects. I.e. the overall priece is calculated and then devided by the different components needed to complete the project, so that a hammer in the end costs the same as a turbin or any other component.
It does look remarkably like architecture done by the artists Hundertwasser, here is an example of his house he did in Vienna Hundertwasser House Vienna
They cancelled the F22? Man, somebody needs to tell the people at the AFB near my house since they are eagerly awaiting the first shipment to replace some of their F-15's
It should be renamed "National Hurt the Economy" Week, less viewers = less advertising $$$ Ohh and all the electricity people will safe across the US? Enron's replacements could really use that money!
Can you imagine the limp you would have in your walk with that thing in your pocket at all? I think its endorsed by the Chiropractors Union, they'd make some major money getting that limp back out of your body.
Have you been reading Ann Coulters books? Powell infront of the UN harping about WMD's, Rice saying that the smoking gun we are waiting for may be a mushroom cloud over a US city? Bush's State of the Union address where he outlined the WMD threat?
Then it was because he was in league with terrorists, and no Saddam had no ties to Al Qaeda, except for three incidents that a connection can be drawn between the two is the following: (this was brought up during the House of Commons debate on the War on Iraq) Al Qaeda tried to have Saddam assassinated three times, why? Because they are religious nuts, and Saddam as evil as he was (and there is no doubt that he is evil) was a secular leader. It is also interesting to note that Iraq was the country with the most progressive womens rights of any Arab country a result of the secular regime.
So I conclude in saying that yes: Saddam was evil, but the war was sold to the public was this is about the WMD's and if we don't do something all of us will die from smallpox. Saying that the war was sold to the public as the liberation of people is a distortion of fact.
AFAIK, and I could be wrong: CERN has had a facility to research fusion, and there is a fusion facility in England that actually has been doing some cutting edge research on the topic while the US closed all but one or two of its fusion research facilities.
Isn't Orrin Hatch the same asshole that brought us the steroid ban legislation proposal? Man, I knew Utah was different from most other places of the civilized world... First I as a legal adult in full mental capcity can't decide what to do to my body and now we are going to overcrowd prisons that already can't deal with the 'War on Drugs'. (next President that decides to declare a war on a concept I am going to slap for real). I am glad this country is in the hands of such capable idiots...

The Power of Sewage

We have been making power with sewage for a very long time,
methane harvesting to run generators has been around for years, plants can power their equipment plus sell some surplus...
or with our product they can do it at a rate that is up to 60% more efficent...
