...energy debate, as its being played out in the Presidential campaign, is far from funny. The reality is that whether the U.S. drills or not, it really doesn't make a difference - not against the sheer scale of the energy and climate crisis facing America and the rest of the world. (Indeed, the other 6.3 billion people factor into this equation too.) The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently estimated that under a business-as-usual scenario - which the U.S. seems intent on abiding - global oil demand would rise 70% by 2050.

...ultimately Wednesday, the U.S.'s sheer talent was too much - with Bryant leading the way, to the delight of the mostly pro U.S. Chinese crowd. Asked if he was concerned about the possibility (and that's what it remained, as they have been eliminated) of playing Greece again in the tournament - the U.S. blew them out last week but lost to them in the World Championships two years ago - Bryant deadpanned, "we're scared to death...

The polling numbers haven't changed all that much, but Obama has been on the defensive since he returned from his overseas trip. And the zeitgeist of the race is headed toward sewage and mockery. It hasn't been quite...
...training and spiritual growth. The enterprise has collected testimonials from Bono, the First Couple, Hillary Clinton, Obama, McCain and Graham, who called it "the greatest, most comprehensive and most biblical vision for world missions I've ever heard or read about." The only thing bigger than the plan's sheer nerve is the odds against its completion; there are signs that in the small country Warren has made a laboratory for the plan, PEACE is encountering as many problems as it has solved...
