Good news.  As I suspected, Global Warming isn't man-made.  It's made by cow farts.

It's true.  There is a 400 page U.N. study to prove it.

Contact Gary Larson to learn if the crisis is worsened when cows light their methane emissions.

Auto makers want the international trade commission to end steel tariffs.  The high price of steel hurts car sales.  The U.S. auto industry is losing jobs

This must create a dilemma for protectionists like U.S. Senate candidate, Sherrod Brown.

For a bunch obsessed with not humiliating Muslims, the Bash Bush crowd sure went out of it's way, by teaming up with America First Republicans, to give the Abu Ghraib treatment to one of the more civilized places in the Middle East . 

The website, MEMRI, has excerpts from a great Al Jazeera interview, with Dr. Wafa Sultan, an Arab-American psychiatrist.  Dr. Sultan doesn't believe we are in a war of nations or religions. She believes, "we are in a clash between civilization and backwardness…between barbarity and rationality."

Tom Friedman of the NY Times calls Dubai a "A bridge of decency that leads away from the failing civilization described by Dr. Sulitan"  He quoted an Arab businessman who said, "you could not have a better friend and more of a symbol of globalization and openness."   Friedman wrote, "Unfortunately we just told Dubai to go to hell."

This whole "you're with us or you're against us" thing is getting tricky.

The president just signed a nuke deal with our outsourcing partner, India,  but not with our war on terror partner, Pakistan,  which, by the way, seems to also be home to Osama bin Laden.  All this distracts attention from the UAE which is a modern high tech Arab country and our friend except when it is producing hijackers and laundering terror money.
