Posted on 12/07/09 at 02:38 pm in response to Copenhagen summit on climate change: What to watch for

Sorry Dan, here are the other major greenhouse gases by nation. As you can see, China is still far ahead of the United States in GHG production.

America does not lead in CO2 emissions, per capita or total.

Your statement that "The massive U.S. economy by far produces most global greenhouse gas emissions." is dead wrong.

I volunteered down at the Vermillion project. Its worth noting that Friends of the Mississippi were also involved in the that project. Restoration at the Vermillion included planting native trees along the banks of the river to reinforce the banks and prevent erosion. Trees also shade the water, thus keeping it cooler and more hospitable for native trout populations. Trout Unlimited also often installs structure for fish to use.

As one of his constituents in NE Minneapolis, its good to know what Ellison really thinks of viewpoints other than his own... real professional CONGRESSMAN Ellison.

Mr. Gisleson, interesting speculation you have there... the WFP was linked to ACORN by the video I linked to showing the now famous ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis talking up the WFP in front of a WFP banner.

But of course its those smarmy Republicans that have hijacked the local WFP party... of course that has to be the case, confirmation bias anyone?

I'm on the fence on this one.

It looks like absentee ballots were the main vehicle for the Working Families Party voter drive. Absentee ballots were center stage during the recount, pushed largely by...

Free access? How is my senator holding a free meeting in Washington DC free access?

Oh look at this, a $1,000 / plate brunch in Washington DC for Al Franken, yeah, we sure are lucky!

If given the chance, this animal kills fawns, pregnant does, nesting grouse, a family of otters and anything else that moves, including you.

The commenters on this board really need to get into touch with reality.

You don't know this cop. Maybe he didn't want to look like the typical angry cop. Next time, I hope he asks you how you want him to look, so he doesn't rub your gentle hearts the wrong way. Maybe with a kleenex and red eyes? Maybe with gun drawn looking for the...

Posted on 09/18/09 at 02:23 pm in response to Where's the line between anger over policy differences and racist remarks?

I find it hard to believe the representative in this instance had any clue how racially charged her word choice was. I'm 26 and I had no idea that term was derogatory and have used it often, I'm sorry to all those I may have offended. This article is interesting on a number of levels.

First, I agree with Joe Johnson. Where is the list of do not use words? Lets get them established, because its unfair to judge people on using a word they have no idea has racial connotations.
