...aborted a son who may or may not have had serious health issues. Are you nervous about how that's going to be received? He had a genetic abnormality, and that abnormality could have resulted in mental retardation and it also - the chances were more likely that you wouldn't have necessarily known anything was wrong. I expect that people who are pro-life will respond negatively, and, in fact, I'd sort of be disappointed if they didn't. But when I went through this experience, it was so ... to use the word 'helpful' is ridiculous. It saved...
Still, the ethanol industry's days may be numbered. Ethanol wouldn't exist but for government subsidies, yet in the 2007 energy bill, Congress ruled that to be eligible for support, corn ethanol has to emit 20% less climate pollution than gasoline. If you include the indirect land-use effects of ethanol - the increase in deforestation caused by using land to grow fuel - it's unlikely to hit that target. On May 5, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a proposed rule that would take into account indirect land-use effects when judging just how green corn ethanol is. Unless...

I mean, if I told you how many Facebook pages have my name on it, you wouldn't believe it. But I am going to join Facebook. I've been doing the MySpace thing a long time and I realize a lot of people are doing Twitter, I just don't want to know what people are doing every single second of their day. I find...
...pride in those memories/ Your worth is more than in killing yourself/ You slaughter your brother while calling out God's name/ Come rebuild Afghanistan with me instead." Sherzai chuckled when I asked if this was his campaign slogan. "Do you think it will work?" he asked. Maybe it wouldn't have. But at least it would have got Afghans thinking about what could have been...
