Al Gore may be preparing to enter the Presidential race. I hope he does. If Gore enters, the media will have to fulfill it's opposition role, and the human caused global warming con will be exposed as well as Gore's personal hypocrisy on the issue. Skeptics will no longer be cut out of the debate, and the myth of consensus would be exploded. If Gore runs, it would inadvertently become a great victory for intellectual honesty. Those politicians are so disconnected from reality, that Gore probably doesn't even know his candidacy will backfire in his face.

Border Patrol growth worrisome. I can't help but laugh. Liberals think they can just double or triple the size of our special forces - which is impossible if they are to really be special, but adding 50% to our border patrol is worrisome. As intellectually dishonest as liberals are, this does highlight the stupidity of the Bush plan. As long as we keep inviting illegal aliens here with job opportunities and benefits, border security is doomed to fail no matter how many or how good the agents. All we have to do to stop illegal immigration and get the vast majority to go home on their own is dry up the jobs and benefits. They won't come here without jobs or benefits, nor will those already here stay.

VT student survivor stories. Mass shootings have increased with increasing gun control, just as logic dictates. It's a lot easier to shoot a lot of people when nobody can shoot back. When a citizen shoots back, the mass murder stops.

Not bad advice for dealing with a murderer, but don't grab the gun barrel. You can't hold onto it when he fires. It'll turn your hand to hamburger right before he kills you. Grab the grip or the wrist to control the weapon.

Flexible hours and telecommuting to combat global warming. Now there's a good idea whether it affects global warming or not. It will reduce car wrecks, injuries, fatalities, and real pollution from cars, improving quality of life for everybody. Of course, we've known this for a decade and haven't made much progress.

Self-fulfilling defeatism: article claims Chirac was right about Iraq. It's easy to say, "see, I told you it would be a failure," when you don't join in. Had we had stronger European support, another 25,000 troops from Europe, and more heads in the debate than Bush and Blair, Iraq might have been a success already. "We're going to lose, so we won't fight... Because we didn't fight, we lost. Told you."
