Reality shows have hit a new low. NBC is exploiting babies as part of a social "experiment" without regard to the harm that could come to the babies.

Reality shows have gone too far. NBC is forcing babies to be guinea pigs in a social experiment that the network hopes to profit from.

Are privately controlled political parties supposed to be more powerful than state governments in a democracy? The [Un]Democratic Party apparently thinks so. Democrats believe voters in Michigan and Florida should be deprived of an equal right to participate in the presidential nominating process because their legislators didn't follow the dictates of the Party like good "Germans" would have.

Is life imitating art in the Smiley Face killings? You know the tv show plot. The police claim a death is an accident or suicide and the principle character has to convince the police the person was actually murdered. Two real live retired NYPD officers are currently attempting to convince law enforcement officers in several states that 40 drowning deaths of college men are actually murders perpetrated by one or more killers who leave a Smiley Face at the scene of the crime. The deaths they are investigating are northeast of Lawrence, but there is no guarantee that KU men are safe from the threat.

Democrats would be better off losing the election if they select Barack Obama as their candidate because he cannot handle the job.

Sen. John McCain may have the experience to be president, unlike his potential Democratic opponents, but his acceptance of the global warming scam indicates a gullibility that is undesirable in a president. There was more evidence for WMD in Iraq than for global warming.

Are black preachers allowed the same freedom of speech as white preachers? Should black preachers have to change their views to accommodate black politicians the white elite considers desirable office holders?

Although I disagree with Rev. Jeremiah Wright on many things, I believe he should have the freedom to have different beliefs and the freedom to express those beliefs. Barack Obama may disagree with those beliefs, but he shouldn't condemn Wright for being politically incorrect. No one forced Obama to attend Wright's church.

The House override Sebelius veto of the Sunflower bill and pass companion legislation requiring Sunflower to purchase electricity from customers with their own generating equipment.

Global warming believers over state the value of average temperatures. A one degree doesn't may indicate nothing more than changes in equipment or changes in the thermal characteristics near the equipment. i

Those who talk about carbon dioxide causing higher temperatures through what some physicists consider a nonexistent process, ignore the proven fact that water vapor has thermal characteristics that allow it to affect air temperature. Humans add water vapor to the air through the combustion of hydrogen containing fuels and various other activities.

President George W. Bush has once again suggested a response to a threat that isn't there.

Food crops aren't really bred to be good sources of fuel. Too little of the plant can actually be used for that purpose. Algae provides a much better source.

Those who support the idea of sequestering carbon dioxide by burying it don't understand that carbon and oxygen are essential to biological life. Without CO2 plants wouldn't grow and produce food for humans to eat. Plants use the carbon in CO2 to produce their structures and release oxygen for humans to eat.

Kansas Governor Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius has more than just her maiden name in common with the title character of "Gilligan's Island". Kansas has a chance to be in the forefront of renewable energy technology with the construction of the Sunflower electric plant, but Governor Gilligan Sebelius wants to sabotage that facility much like Gilligan sabotaged the Professor's attempts to get the castaways off "Gilligan's Island."

Those who believe that carbon dioxide has the magical power to control atmospheric temperatures falsely claim science supports their beliefs. However, they fail to provide any empirical scientific evidence to support the claim. The purported scientists who claim CO2 controls air temperature instead resort to calling those who disagree with them heretics... whoops I mean "deniers".

Those who talk about greenhouse gases misunderstand a 19th Century concept known as a black body model. The concept involves an ideal solid and cannot apply to a planet with large oceans and an atmosphere. Such systems involve more forms of energy than just heat and radiation.

Last year the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case of Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency that the EPA should regulate CO2 emissions even though it occurs naturally in the atmosphere and is essential for biological life in general and plant growth in particular. Dihydrogen monoxide is also essential for biological life and occurs naturally in the atmosphere. Human DHMO emissions can cause higher atmospheric temperatures plus other adverse environmental consequences, but is currently unregulated.

Increasingly the only difference between reporters and members of the world's "oldest profession". The later group understands the type of business they are in and provide their services to the people who pay them.

Former NASA scientist Ferenc Miskolczi resigned after higher officials suppressed his report that the equations used to imply CO2 could cause "global warming" contained a serious flaw. For Kansas this means the CO2 that the controversial coal powered plants in Holcomb would produce isn't a threat to increase global temperatures and the isn't justified in denying permits on such grounds.

Truth about Climate: This site provides summaries of articles providing the truth about climate issues. There is no consensus regardless of what the government and U.N. might say. The site links to articles explaining the real factors that influence climate such as solar output and the Atlantic and Pacific Oscillation and of course the el Nino / la Nina cycle.
Falsification of the Greenhouse Gas Theory: Dr. Gerhard Gerlich and Ralf D. Tscheuschner of the Institute for Mathematical Physics at the Carolo_Wilhelmina Technical University in Germany, have published an essay (“Falsification of the Atmospheric Greenhouse Effects Within the Framework of Physics”) in which they point out the flaws in greenhouse gas theory. They trace the basic concepts from the first proposal by Jean Baptiste Fourier to current theories and conclude that the theory is inconsistent with the laws of physics. I'm aware of comments Gavin Schmidt has made about the essay, but his comments indicate he doesn't understand what they are talking about.
