Franken to leave Air America after network sale
Man! I didn't see THAT coming (from the beginning).

Daniel Tammet is called "Brain Man" in Britain. But unlike most savants, he has no obvious mental disability, and most important to scientists, he can describe his own thought process. He may very well be a scientific Rosetta stone, a key to understanding the brain.

He describes numbers in shapes and colors and says, "pi is one of the most beautiful things in all the world."
He first made headlines at Oxford, when he publicly recited the endless sequence of numbers embodied by the Greek letter "Pi." Pi, the numbers we use to calculate the dimensions of a circle, are usually rounded off to 3.14. but its numbers actually go on to infinity.

Daniel studied the sequence – a thousand numbers to a page.

"And I would sit and I would gorge on them. And I would just absorb hundreds and hundreds at a time," he tells Safer.

It took him several weeks to prepare and then Daniel headed to Oxford, where with number crunchers checking every digit, he opened the floodgates of his extraordinary memory.

Tammet says he was able to recite, in a proper order, 22,514 numbers. It took him over five hours and he did it without a single mistake

Hillary Clinton calls for the Pres to withdraw from Iraq before the end of his presidency.
She doesn't point out that she knows that if a Democrat were to succeed him, he/she would realize that we can not and should not pull out. And if we do the right thing by staying, the future president would then have alot of explaining to do. "Welll...Bush was right to stay, but........"

Keeping "Death" sacrosanct: Selling Alternatives Short
Good news for humanity is bad news to some.

House Republicans yesterday declared "something fishy" about the major tuna company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district being exempted from the minimum-wage increase that Democrats approved this week.
"I am shocked," said Rep. Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican and his party's chief deputy whip, noting that Mrs. Pelosi campaigned heavily on promises of honest government. "Now we find out that she is exempting hometown companies from minimum wage. This is exactly the hypocrisy and double talk that we have come to expect from the Democrats."

GOVMNT REPORT ON SANDY BERGER CLASSIFIED DOC THEFT RELEASED...

Global warming scaremongers jumped on the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and the busy 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and went on to predict that 2006 would be a potentially devastating year of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

As it was, not one single hurricane made landfall in the U.S.

If forecasters can't reliably tell us what will happen in two to three months from now, why would anyone trust that they know what will happen with the weather in 50 or 100 years from now and let them tell us how to live our lives accordingly?

This is all about Big Brother do-gooders trying to control how you live your life, and stripping away the freedoms and liberties of people to live their lives as they see fit, engage in commerce and raise their families.

That's the key, if you want political power in our country, just attack it and we'll bend over for you. Slippery slope, here we come.

Nancy Pelosi: I'VE GOT THE POWER! Higher gas prices,

unemployment,

unless Bush does the right thing and vetos these forthcoming efforts.

Oh, and by the way, Saddam Hussein was executed the muslim way (that or be-heading) by muslims in Iraq, BY Iraqis. Hes was not tried or executed by the United States. Sunnis were looking for anything to complain about and would complain no matter what the outcome. Sounds like the liberal wing of our country. Coincidence?

If Hussein had been comdemned to life in prison, dicatators would all feel that they may have a chance to escape justice and possibly be sprung by people sympathetic to their cause. Democrats would acuse Bush of keeping him alive in order to torture him, and insurgents would be emboldened to try even harder to return him to power. Executing him was a good idea politically.

"Bi-Partisan Capitol Hill" promised by the Dem's turns out to be a shut-out.

Gore Compromised When National Security Is Concerned

oh, and........Algore made over 75 illegal phone calls to solicit contributions to the DNC from federal property yet Janet Reno refuses to investigate it further. Janet Reno launched another investigation of these phone calls. Note: soliciting campaign donations from federal property is illegal in America. Why does Algore get away with breaking the law?

On July 20, 1993, Vince Foster was discovered shot to death in a Virginia Park, just as the Clintons' Whitewater and Travelgate scandals had begun to heat up. Five federal investigations declared the death a suicide but never addressed substantial and compelling evidence contradicting that verdict.
Soon after such mysterious circumstances, his office was cleared out. Along with his office went the Whitewater billing records and several key pieces of evidence. Evidence suggests that Clinton associate Bernard Nussbaum purposely delayed access to the office to investigators. Not to mention the mysterious suicide in which there is some hint that evidence was tampered with. Witnesses have testified they saw Clinton aides clearing the supposedly sealed office.
Years after they had disappeared from Vince fosters office, subpoenaed Whitewater billing records appeared in the White House. In January of 1996 an aide stumbled across them sitting on a table in the White House. They couldn't have been sitting their all these years unnoticed. Hillary's finger prints were on them.

just remembered that Bush wasn't so bad as Clinton............

Judicial Watch, a public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, filed a formal request with the U.S. Department of Justice, calling for a criminal investigation into the reported activities of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and her brother, Anthony D. Rodham; former President Clinton, and Vonna Jo Gregory, former owner of the carnival company United Shows International.

Recently released court documents provided new details concerning a scheme involving Anthony Rodham, who allegedly received $107,000 in fraudulent loans from United Shows International as compensation for securing a presidential pardon for Gregory in 2000 from then-President Clinton.

On and on it goes..................

How do You Know if the Economy is Healthy?

I would like to see an index created to measure the true strength of the economy. It would work like this;

All economic articles appearing in the NYT are judged to report either positive economic news or negative economic news. Then, the page the article apears on is given a valu, with the front page equal to 1, next page 2, and so forth.

A positive article on the 4th page in is worth +4, a negative article on page one is worth -1. If these were the only two articles to appear in a given week, the economy would score a +3.

The further back positive economic news is, the more likely it is "true"., the further foward a negative article is, the more likely it is a "false" reading of the true status of the economy.

Call it the NYT economic lie index enumerator statisti, or NYTELIES

Americans Optimistic for 2007
And so it goes for most Americans. An AP-AOL News Poll finds that while most Americans said 2006 was a bad year for the country, three-fourths thought it had been a good one for them and their families.
Now, if three fourths of Americans think 2006 was a good year for them, why would they think it wasn't for the rest of the country? Can you spell MEDIA?
