Except it wasn't him. It was Richard Armitage.

Richard Armitage (former Clinton appointee) was the one who revealed Valerie Plame's identity. That information was known to the special prosecutor before speaking to Libby. So, no, you don't know what's true.

I think the two atmosphere's are substantially different to the degree that extrapolating data from Venus and applying it to Earth is invalid. It may make for good PR, but it doesn't equate. In Venus you have substantially thicker atmosphere and substantially more Solar radiation. What Venus does show is that atmosphere can affect temperature because it's hotter than Mercury. However, I think the case is attempted to be made too often that Earth is going to turn into Venus because of human activity, and I think that is a mistake.

Venus is not a good analog. Sure it's hot as hell, but it's atmosphere is many times larger than ours (93 times denser). CO2 makes up an very small percentage of our atmosphere (approx 0.0387%) versus 96% on Venus. You do make a good point about the warming by the Sun, however. But you would also need to factor in changes in wind patterns and other factors before you can completely negate any solar effect.

I see potential for things like a share intent that would then let me decide what service (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, G+) that I want to use instead of having a thousand buttons on a webpage that do the same thing. Look at the mess that AddThis is, just a huge list of sites to post to. Intents would be a way to avoid all the junk you don't use. Intents for web could also be for retrieving content, or triggering video chats. Just a couple off the top of my head.

No, Obama said that the stimulus would keep unemployment from going over 8%. Didn't work out so well, did it.

when something positive happens for a Republican or something negative happens for a Democrat it is considered "unexpected". Unemployment goes above 8% and stays there, it's "Unexpected" even though there were plenty of people saying that a trillion dollar slush fund wouldn't do squat for the economy. Bush won, and won twice. Get over it.
