Ron Paul's a huge states-rights advocate who runs with the Libertarians, because they share the common goal of reducing the size of the Federal government, even though his views on state government are borderline tyrannical.

Do you have a reference for that? Nothing I've even seen in Ron Paul's voting record or stated positions are anything approaching 'tyrannical'.

Cyclist110 writes "The BBC has the story of the discovery, in Inner Mongolia, of a Dinosaur bird twice the size of a man and weighing in at over 3000 lbs. From the article: "Chinese researchers uncovered the fossilised remains of the flightless giant in the Erlian basin in Inner Mongolia. The researchers had originally thought they had found the bones of a tyrannosaur — the group of dinosaurs to which T. rex belongs — due to their large size."

Sure hope the Creation Museum has some PlayDough left over."

patmandu writes "Back on June 15th, 1957, they sealed a showroom-fresh 1957 Plymouth into a time capsule in Tulsa, OK. The time capsule was opened this week as planned on the 50th anniversary, and the car was revealed. Let's just say that 'sealed' was an optimistic description. Oops. That'll buff right out!"
