...enough. A really key moment was also a report I read that said 18% of climate changing gases are directly or indirectly caused by industrial livestock production. If you take it seriously, it's mind boggling. Do you want to torture animals? Do you want to spew filth into the environment and into the air? Do you want to eat in a way that's really unhealthy...
...plan backed by the panel calls for putting up to four non-explosive "dispersible kinetic energy projectiles" atop each missile. Each GPS-guided projectile would contain about 1,000 tungsten rods that would strike the target at a mile a second (a fuse could spew them more widely across the ground, with less impact, or let all 250 pounds hit the same point for maximum destruction). The force of a single rod, the report says, would be similar to that of a hefty 50-caliber bullet. The lack of any explosive would generate precise mayhem, "comparable to the type...
...most important.'' The difficulty most people have with slash-and-burn comedy is separating the conceptual satire (''Look how uptight people are over these words!'') from the real-world impact (''How can he say that about black people?!'').

After spewing out ethnic insults on the Tonight Show, Don Rickles (who is back on TV this fall in a Fox sitcom) usually let Johnny Carson know what a sweet guy he really was inside. Stern, after staying aloof from the press for years, has suddenly turned into a ubiquitous and cooperative...
...more than the total energy usage of all but 21 countries. And a fair amount of that is peak usage - the sort that sends the electric grid crackling toward brownouts and meltdowns and increases the demand for the construction of more electric power plants (and the pollution they spew - unless they use renewable sources like hydropower or, as John McCain correctly insists, nuclear power, which should be carefully reconsidered). "A lot of utilities supplement their main power sources with quick-acting oil- or gas-driven generators on the hottest days of the year," says Lee Schipper of the University...
...campaign might have actually been lucky she left, since her departure came just before her Iraq comments got wide play. The personal insult was gratuitous and crude, but the Iraq statement threatened to undermine one of the central promises of Obama's campaign. No one expected Power to spew invective, but when your top foreign policy adviser tells an overseas interviewer that you do not really mean something that you have put at the center of your campaign, well, Chicago, you have a problem...
