"Need some wood?"

:lol:

I wonder if Bush knows we are laughing AT him rather than WITH him.

They could do if they pulled their act together and invested in heavy oil, but dammit, it's so much easier to get the Arabs to supply us.
Go use that plant I mentioned above to turn waste plastic, rubber, and other petroleum products back into oil.

I think the process is TDP. Thermaldepolmerization. It might even be cost effective here, given the chemical plants in WV.

Quick check: As best I can tell, the total immediate budget deficit (not including deferred payments) under Bush is $946.8 billion. I think I'll have to ask around to get annual data from other years; merely taking the pre-existing deficit would overestimate it due to increases due to interest payments.

Bush is just a walking joke anyway. It's not like it's a new experience.

Kerry has made some good points, but I still see him as a bit vague on other issues. Overall, Bush is getting totalled.

The only good thing about Patriot is that it is giving my office more money so we can hire part-time workers to help us keep up with all the requests for Birth Certificates because anything but a State-Certified, Raised Seal Birth Certificate isn't worth the paper it's printed under the new rules for passports, Drivers Lisences, or just getting on a plane. :roll:

Hell, Canada has the second largest theoretical oil reserves in the world, what with those shale fields. Screw the Middle East; import Canadian oil :lol: .

Oh jolly good.

Science.

Bush hasn't got a leg to stand on with this. Stem cells are a no-no in his mind.

The CIA and FBI have always been required by law to share information if they think a crime is going to be committed. Once again, Bush compounds his stupidity with outright lies. What a dick!

Kerry has actually got a good stance with this. Ethical practice does not mean blanket banning procedures that are still new and controversial.

Oops, Shrubby....you fucked up. Your the first president to allow stem cell research only because you're the first president underwhich the technology existed to effectively perform the reasearch.
