While on a one hour lunch break at work, I watched about 30 minutes of Oprah's campaign for Barack Obama Saturday evening. Insert various and sundried interruptions as the break room is between the office and time clock so lots of employee traffic filtered through. Somewhere along the line Oprah says something to the effect of "I know many of you have lost family." in reference to the soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. The audience laughed. What was so funny about that? It just cemented my belief that people were there to see her, not Barack Obama. And apparently they weren't listening to what she was saying either. (Via Lucianne)
This next story was covered in several different blogs.
China says global warming is not their problem because they're still a developing country. They say the job of cleaning the environment should belong to wealthy countries. In other words, they want us to clean up their mess. Beg pardon?
Your population is much larger than ours, China. You use a lot of fossil fuel to power your economy. Clean up your own act. You have 20 of the world's 30 most polluted cities. You have been sending products manufactured in your country, to us, that have killed our pets and poisoned our children yet we still do business with you. We CAN change that, not easily, but it isn't impossible either. Anyone remember the "Buy American" motto?

The shooting in Colorado Sp... (Below threshold)1. Posted by SPQR | December 10, 2007 12:07 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
The shooting in Colorado Springs was ended by the church's security guard shooting and killing the gunman. I believe current reports are one victim of the gunman was killed and four others are being treated in hospital.
