...teeth in opposition. As McCain repeats his drilling mantra, critics point out that there is far too little untapped oil in American waters to make a significant difference in gas prices, especially considering the vast and growing global demand for petrol. Besides, "drilling now," as McCain says, won't yield results for years, and offshore exploration still has serious environmental risks. (That last point was underscored by the timing of McCain's visit - his rig trip was delayed because of a hurricane and oil spill in the Gulf a month ago.) The Democratic National Committee spoofed the Republican candidate...
...landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender!" Then came footage of McCain's push for George W.

"Our work shows that the original method developed by Yamanaka works great," says Eggan...
...Panel Most Likely to Yield a Drinking Game: Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The folks at Lucasfilm showed clips from the animated movie opening Aug. 15 and animated show airing on the Cartoon Network and TNT this fall. The footage looked cool enough, but the moderator's and panelists' constant references to George Lucas' brilliance - I stopped counting at 22 - inspired eye-rolling and forced Gatorade sipping from fans. We get it, George is God. Now on with the clones...
