I do not put much weight in polls period, but I found this one particularly interesting in reading the topics considered more pressing than Global Warming. Perhaps we should put a few of these topics on polls we run here in the states.
‘Scepticism’ over climate claims
The Ipsos Mori poll of 2,032 adults - interviewed [...]
Judge dismisses ‘New York Times’ lawsuit
How refreshing to read the above headline today.
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge has dismissed a New York Times lawsuit against the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice, saying classified documents the newspaper was seeking under the Freedom of Information Act were properly withheld.
The Times sued the [...]
The numbers don’t look good.
A new SurveyUSA instant poll finds just 21% of Americans agree with President Bush’s decision to commute Scooter Libby’s prison sentence, 60% say Bush should have left the judge’s prison sentence in place, and 17% wanted a full pardon.
Only those familiar with the case were asked to react to the [...]
Did you know that Christianity is under attack? Did you know that any day now that malicious Congress will pass legislation that will humiliate, silence, fine, or even jail pastors, and maybe even all Christians? Did you know that this is happening already in those secular foreign places like Canada and Sweden?
I sure [...]
There’s an interesting back and forth between Bill Moyers and Victor Gold, Goldwater’s deputy press secretary back in the ‘64 campaign, and later fixture in the GOP hierarchy.
Thinking about past conversations here about what it means to be a conservative or a liberal, I think this conversation further muddies the meaning of those two labels.
I posted an article on how President Bush lacked compassion when it came to Pardons.
J commented on the post and gave me this link.
I must say I’m totally embarrassed over the pardons that President Clinton gave.
We Democrats have nothing to brag about and maybe we should stay mute on this subject.
ALLEN, Verla Jean Everton, [...]
This list isn’t meant to offend anyone. It’s just interesting to see who has been drumming up support for Scooter Libby.
I hope this doesn’t come back to bite Fred Thompson. He is one Republican that I could vote for.

The White House recently announced that President Bush issued pardons to 16 individuals. Their offenses included bank fraud, conspiracy to defraud the government, possession of marijuana and cocaine, and mail fraud. During his first term, Mr. Bush issued a mere 31 pardons and commutations. To date he’s issued 113 pardons and three commutations. That’s less [...]
I don’t know if the title of this post is part of the Hypocratic Oath doctors take, but I do know it’s something they are taught while in medical school.
It seems some were not in class the day this was discussed, or crossed their fingers while taking the oath.
LONDON — At least three physicians were [...]
Another view and the people that made it happen.
The men behind The Man Behind Dick Cheney are relieved.
They are people of means and influence, ambassadors and honorables, and they’ve raised millions to pay for the legal expenses of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Yesterday evening they learned, along with the rest of us, that the president [...]
A THIRD US soldier has been charged with murdering an Iraqi civilian and placing a firearm on the corpse during operations south of Baghdad, the US military said today.
Sergeant Evan Vela has been charged with premeditated murder and “one specification alleging he wrongfully placed a weapon with the remains of a deceased Iraqi”, the US [...]
Here is one By Janet Hook, Times Staff Writer
Eddie Mahe is a happy man.
With his decision to keep I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby from going to prison, President Bush has provoked a firestorm of controversy but avoided what might have been even more damaging to his presidency: defections of Republican loyalists who are among [...]
Here is an interesting point of view by David Corn of the Nation.
Now comes the fall out.
It’s appropriate.
The president who led the nation into a disastrous war in Iraq by peddling false statements and misrepresentations has come to the rescue of a White House aide convicted of lying.
Before the ink was dry on today’s [...]
