So what? Pro-global warming scientists certainly have an agenda to prove that warming does exist, to keep the grant money flowing. Al Gore certainly has an agenda, to keep promoting global warming, so that the carbon credits keep coming in, so that his movies/books keep selling. All sides in this are tainted by money, and this whole issue has created an industry around it. Everyone's trying to get their slice of it.

Journal Journal: Hans Resiser admits?

Wired is reporting that Linux programmer/convicted murderer Hans Reiser may now admit to murdering (and revealing her location) his wife in exchange for a second degree murder charge, which would make him eligible for parole in 2023 or so. I wonder if they'd overlook his perjury.

Journal Journal: Just disgusting... 2

How come this is not being told around the world? Even if these accounts are being exaggerated, it is still absolutely disgusting.

Journal Journal: Loosing Faith in Republicans... 4

I'm starting to feel that the Republicans are losing the ideals that brought me to be a Republican in the first place. I feel that the president and none of the democrat candidates are willing to look long-term at our country's economy and infrastructure, and I think that America's dominance (economically) will not last. I also think that China is not really our friend, but our politicians only seem interested in the short-term, trying to cozy up to China to get the best economic benefit.

Journal Journal: Illegal should mean Illegal 3

LOS ANGELES -- Even though the law doesn't allow them to vote, illegal immigrants are changing the landscape of the U.S. government -- and affecting the census' depiction of the population.

Journal Journal: Democrats aren't going to like this news... 1

http://www.reuters.com/printerFriendlyPopup.jhtml?type=businessNews&storyID=3627531

Things are starting to look up for the economy, which is bad news for democrats. We all know they are hoping the economy tanks all the way to the next election.

Finally, some job growth and no inflation, so probably no reason to think in the near term that interest rates are going to be raised. Hopefully things will continue.

Journal Journal: Cleveland school district does it again 4

http://www.newsnet5.com/education/2371297/detail.html

This is hardly a Cleveland-only problem. Every big school district has a similar bloated overspending administrator at the helm.

This is unbelievable. People wonder why the schools in Cleveland aren't getting any better, even though levy after levy has passed. I hope I never live or work in that city (I live in the surrounding suburbs) and see my tax dollars go to waste like that. $54,000 would buy a lot of books, paint, etc.
