Is he running? Is he not running? How much would he spend if he runs? Would he really take a 3rd party track? Inquiring minds want to know mainly because he’s the real deal, he’s not a nut (cough*Perot*cough), he’s actually been running one of the biggest cities on the planet since 2001 and he’s [...]

The poll shows Bush at 33% and Congress at 29%. Personally, I just think people are tired of politics and general, and because we can’t get out of Iraq, they’re laying the blame at the Congress’ door step. I also think we should remember that when we say Congress, we’re also talking about a nearly [...]

Interesting…

We’ve written about dichloroacetate before, but I thought I’d point it out again because it’s a wonder why we’re not hearing about it the media at large. From the University of Alberta: DCA is an odourless, colourless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic, small molecule. And researchers at the University of Alberta believe it may soon be used [...]

Okay, see, this is why we’re going to witness the downfall of the religious right. They really can’t see the forest for the trees. Because instead of giving millions of girls almost 100% certain protection against cervical cancer, they’re against it because they think it would promote promiscuity. So let’s see here…cancer or more sex…cancer [...]

You’re probably seeing some weird stuff on the site right now and that’s due to the fact we’re getting hammered by spammers. This is actually a good sign and shows that Donklephant is getting more popular, but obviously it’s still a pain in the ass. In any event, the comments section has been disabled by [...]

The good news is that we have entered the “End Game� of our military involvement in Iraq. The bad news is that the man making the closing moves on the chessboard is Moqtada al-Sadr, likely future leader of Iraq, and the face of “Victory in Iraq� as defined by United States policy.

Lately, I’ve been reading a series of AP stories comparing the candidates’ personal habits. Today, it’s unfinished house chores. Again, these probably don’t say very much about where the candidates stand on the issues, but they’re fun nonetheless. DEMOCRATS: Delaware Sen. Joe Biden: â€Â?Maintaining shrubberyâ€Â? New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: â€Â?Organizing my closetsâ€Â? Connecticut [...]

Justin linked to my blog a week or so ago, and invited me to contribute posts to Donklephant. As a reader and occasional commenter, I appreciate the invitation and am delighted to participate… looking forward to playing in your sandbox.

This is important. Remember this when you hear that Islam is incapable of moderation: IZMIR, Turkey – Choking the highways and crammed onto ferries, hundreds of thousands of Turks streamed into this port city on Sunday in an enormous show of opposition to the pro-Islamic ruling party, saying it threatened to destroy the country’s modern [...]

Okay folks…3rd party game on. Chuck was on CBS this morning and he’s most definitely paving the way to launch a third party bid for the White House. It makes sense. He’s smart enough to know that if there was a time to do it, 2008 would be that time. With the primary season getting [...]

They say it’s space junk. I think it looks like a petrified alien turd.

Great news keeps coming in from Turkey. People are speaking out and the government can’t ignore them.

This is very, very cool. From Metaefficient: This skyscraper, to be built in Dubai, is called the Burj al-Taqa (‘Energy Tower’), and it will produce 100% of its own power. The tower will have a huge (197 foot diameter) wind turbine on its roof, and arrays of solar cells that will total 161,459 square feet [...]

Good Magazine created a rather clever video revealing the numbers, audience and overall economic ecosystem of pornography on the web. Needless to say it’s big business and shows no signs of slowing down.

He’s brave. I’ll give him that. Because most of the right wing blogosphere is saying he’s already done after talking about this. But is he? Or is winning more important to Republicans? I guess we’ll see.

The AP has more here.

This certainly doesn’t bode well for the WoT.

He says the strategy is broken. Sounds like a few other generals we’ve heard from. Will anybody lisen? From NY Times: ROCHESTER, May 10 â€â€? John Batiste has traveled a long way in the last four years, from commanding the First Infantry Division in Iraq to quitting the Army after three decades in uniform and, [...]

There was a post earlier about Hezbollah’s transmigration to the Americas. I’m glad to see mention of Hezbollah in major news sources (NBC) but of course am saddened and worried by the news of Hezbollah’s spread. The news isn’t new of course, they have had operatives in South America for a while now and even [...]
