As much as people rail at Bush for being daddy's boy, Kerry made me believe MUCH more that he wanted power for the sake of power
Really? How so? I'm genuinely puzzled.
Since he was reelected though, it's like he misplaced his... humanity or something. He doesn't stand for what he did the first term, he doesn't stand for freedom or justice, he doesn't even seem to stand for the conservative principals that got him elected in the first place.
He never stood for those things. He is the most failure-prone son of a president who got fired for screwing the country up himself. What the hell kind of credentials are those? Worse, he is driven by nothing more than the urge to look like J. R. Ewing -- successful toughguy, and don' mess wi' Texis, and I'll show mah diddy I'm better'n him. As for "conservative ideals", those were dumped unceremoniously way back when Reagan took office (or, one could argue, as part of the Southern Strategy, starting as early as 1960).
Pretty much every major setback this country (and a lot of other countries, too) has suffered for the last half-century is directly or indirectly attributable to the Republican Party, its official policies, and its sometimes-partially-hidden dirty under-the-table machinations. How anyone can know what it has done and continue to support it is beyond me.
The metal in the foil is considered toxic, and there's no real way to reuse the plastic because of the foil inside
...which is why the recycling process separates the plastic from the metal.
I thought it's because when you recycle, you want metal in one pile and plastic in another. Besides, isn't that metal nickel anyway? Since when is nickel considered dangerous?
The idea of an omnipotent God who creates a creature capable of reason, then throws an eternal hissy fit when that creature doesn't spend all his time telling God how wonderful He is... Well it seems like rather insecure behavior for an all powerful, all loving being.

... are they able to refer to Pfizer's brand name for sildenafil, Lilly's name for tadalafil, or Bayer's brand name for vardenafil without getting caught in the spam filters?
I would hope they use the real names and not the brand names.
You've just described the problem with every assessment test out there, given by certification places or job interviewers or recruiters or anyone else. It's all to determine how well you handle trick questions and how much of a given reference work you've memorized. Not one bit about how well you can program or administer or whatever.
only differ in weight by 50 lbs or so, and have similar efficiency (~35mpg), yet the CNW study shows the lifetime energy use of these vehicles to differ by 50 percent. How's that work?
Clearly, they're confusing pounds with percentage points. So when they say a Prius takes 50% more energy to manufacture, they mean it takes 50 more pounds of energy. And I think we all know how difficult it is to buy energy by the pound.
Don't let mere facts get in the way of your lame debunking, especially since your religious beliefs are being questioned.
Too bad you didn't take the time to see that my link had already shown yours for the tripe it is: "The Department of Energy lists the average nationwide energy consumption per household as 10,656 kwh and the average consumption per square foot as 13.7 kwh. But for the East South Central region (Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Mississippi), the average is 15,447 kwh per household and 19.83 kwh per square foot. As you state in your post, Gore's consumption is 19.43 kwh per square foot, which is less than the average." And how ironic that you should accuse science of being a religious belief.
But the Earth doesn't care about that, especially if Gore's total output is greater than it should be. An energy hogging mansion is still an energy hogging mansion, no matter how efficient it is.
Gore's output is based on as much green (carbon-neutral) energy as he is allowed to use, and he takes the remaining carbon footprint to zero by purchasing carbon offsets, which of course you will pretend to fail to understand.
Especially when compared to this guy's house
I hope the environmentally-friendly features of his house -- due, no doubt, to necessity by remoteness than choice by conscience (you ever try to get on municipal sewer and water when you're as little as a mile outside the nearest town?) -- helps soothe his guilt-wracked soul after he gets in bed for the umpteenth time with his oil industry cronies.
your gut feeling just tells you that you're right
Science tells me that I'm right. But thanks for playing.
Sindbad the comedian ought to play Sindbad the sailor in an action adventure movie with some comedy in it.
The lame comedian's name is actually spelled "Sinbad". Points for spelling the real one's name right, though.
Also, it seems the Wiki-vandalism was made by some guy with the username "dabniS", one day before Sinbad made his press announcement. I wonder what that means?
But don't let mere facts get in the way of your attack-the-messenger parade.
We are being asked to overturn the very edifice of free-market capitalism
We are? Really. That's your argument? If we put some sane regulation on the abuse of the commons by corporations, and put some money into some actual green, domestic energy sources, we're instituting absolute communism? I'm intrigued by your ideas and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.
wild speculation about the significance of mere statistical noise, teased out of scant and questionable data by grant-chasing academics
Wow. You really haven't been listening, have you. Oh, I forgot, 99% of the world's scientists are just in it for the fabulously wealthy lifestyle. Not like the good-hearted kind souls who see through this whole "science" scam, over at, just for example, ExxonMobil.
draconian regulations they advocate for the rest of us
Oh? Just which regulations would you be worried about? The one that requires you to travel exclusively by unicycle, or the one banning disposable toilet paper?

No one would have known what that meant. "Megabeat", on the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised to find out had already been used back then.
