...opponents. At the debate with Coleman on Aug. 5 at Farmfest in Redwood County, he seemed to win all the arguments but lose the audience with his aggressive style. Even for a potential Senator, he is relentlessly competitive. When we're riding in the back of his Ford Escape hybrid, I make the mistake of mentioning that when I interviewed Ted Nugent, he didn't know the Ten Commandments. For the next five minutes, Franken doesn't talk about anything except trying to name all the commandments. (He succeeds.) Then I make an even stupider comment about how much harder...
...online version of N., King's 54-page story about a psychologist whose obsessive-compulsive patient is entranced by a mysterious plot of land, is a hybrid of several media, using images, music and voices. "It's kind of a video comic book," says King. Others have recently attempted similar projects, referred to as "motion comics." Warner Bros. (which is owned by Time Warner, TIME's parent company) has released a Batman-related Web series and a motion-comic adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen. Yet N. has been specifically constructed to appeal to the short attention spans...
...preference for purebreds misses the great opportunity of the Obamapup. Surely a postpartisan, bridge-building reformer would lean toward some spectacularly unidentifiable mutt, a shelter dog or at least one of the American Canine Hybrid Club's more than 500 registered hybrids, the designer dogs meant to give you the best of both breeds: a Labradoodle, a Peke-a-Poo, a Bagle (half basset, half beagle). A candidate seeking a bully pulpit might like the Bullypit (a bulldog-pit-bull mix). Or he could go for a Sharmatian--part Chinese Shar-Pei, part Dalmatian--and get the whole East...
...doing it in 10 years? If the earlier, personal solutions to global warming - drive a hybrid, put in better insulation - were far too little, Gore's goal seems far too much. Less than 28% of our power currently comes from carbon-free sources, and the vast majority of that is hydroelectric and nuclear. High-tech renewables account for less than 3%. Wind and solar are growing far faster than fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas, but considering that we don't even know if economical carbon capture and storage will ever be possible, it's hard...
...shutdown will affect more than 10% of Toyota's 43,000 employees in the U.S. Toyota is also scrambling to rebalance its manufacturing operations to accommodate its best sellers. The company said it will build hybrid Priuses at a plant now under construction in Blue Springs, Miss. The Blue Springs plant is scheduled to open in 2010. The Highlander crossovers that were supposed to be made in Mississippi will be made in Indiana instead, and all pickup trucks will be made exclusively in Texas, according to Toyota...
