Yeah really.. just...putting it off until somebody else has a better idea :P

How about responsibility? I think that's a good idea...

yeah. sure you did. and I like Salma Hayek for her acting.

why do you need to look at naked children in sexual acts for a book on hypocrisy? and "for a few days"???

okay, buh-bye now. have fun in prison.

weird. all this climate change, and the hurricanes are completely ignoring it.

Of course, now that they've finally downgraded their predictions after 2 years of relative inactivity, we'll get like 13 hurricanes, and you'll hear all the climate change nuts pointing to it, while they ignore the 2 years prior.

the weather experts can't go more than 3 days out.

hurricane expert can't go 6 months out.

Flatulent Kangaroos Could Save Planet

I like how they talk about the bacteria in 'roo's digestive systems - if somehow...uh... "replaced" in cows and other animals digestive systems.. it would negate methane farts from these animals and help "save the planet."

...so... uh.. they...scrape out the bad bacteria and..put in the new stuff.... or they just going to try and inject it into the animal and see what happens? Where's PETA on that one?
