		<description>Maybe the &quot;warmers&quot; (as in the global warming fearmongerers) will need to change their nicknames to the &quot;coolers&quot; (as in the new global cooling movement fearmongerers).....</description>

		<description>Just watched Changeling and while watching the Added Features I thought of his bicker with Spike Lee and then I realized there are no black people in any of this movie. Not even in the credits...not even in the footage of the crew.

I believe you have to go back at least 90 years before you can say the separation was that complete. Is Clint a racist? I don&#039;t really care about Clint either way; I just want to know the history before I make any more judgements, etc. Clint made mostly forgetable movies but he shot a few that were really good.</description>

		<description>Midori,

What other countries?  Bangladesh?  India?  China?  When they have floods it kills 10s of thousands.

A lot of Holland is below sea level, but they don&#039;t get many hurricanes.

People just shouldn&#039;t live below sea level.  

But we have spent billions to patch up the levees and sea walls in NO,  Resetting the trap, I like to say.</description>

		<description>Taxpayer,

I hope this doesn&#039;t get lost amongst the wingnut baying at the moon and feces flinging, but my point is if other countries situated in a similar precarious locale such as NO, and can deal with nature effectively (via technology and ingenuity), why can&#039;t we?</description>

		<description>Dang.  I plum forgot about Earth Hour.

Where did they put all of that electricity that was &quot;saved&quot; when everyone turned off their lights?

It would be cool if CNN went to the site and showed on TV all the saved electricity.</description>

		<description>moonbat betty:


&quot;Forbes magazine has published a list of the 10 fastest dying American cities.  These ten cities:

… face fleeing populations, painful waves of unemployment and barely growing economies. By our measure, they’ve struggled the worst of any areas in the nation in the 21st century. And they face even bleaker futures.

What Forbes fails to mention is the political inclination of these cities.  Do a little research and you find the predictable - all but one is run by Democrats.&quot;

Here’s the list:

Canton, Ohio
Democrat
Major William J. Healey 

Youngstown, Ohio
Ran as an ‘Independent’ but self described “lifelong Democrat“
Jay Williams

Flint, Michigan (America’s 10th most liberal city)
Democrat
Donald J. Williamson 

Scranton, Pa
Democrat
Christopher A. Doherty

Dayton, Ohio
Democrat
Rhine Lana McLin

Cleveland, Ohio
Democrat
Frank George Jackson

Springfield Mass.
Democrat
Domenic J Sarno
Buffalo, NY
Democrat
Byron Brown

Detroit, Michigan
Democrat
Kwame Malik Kilpatrick

Charleston, W.VA
Republican
Danny Jones

Gee whiz:  They even left a Newark and a lot of others ...........</description>

		<description>This thing in the midwest reminds me of when just a few short years ago, the City of New Orleans experienced record flooding.  Remember how the people of that city banded together to fight the ravages of the floodwaters.  How local and state authorities activated emergency plans to evacuate the people that were threatened.  Remember how the most affected came to the aid of their fellow citizens - rescuing big screen TVs so they could sell them to their neighbors at reduced rates.  We even saw New Orleans police officers rescuing groceries and electronics from flooded stores so the community would not be deprived.

And don&#039;t we all remember how the mayor and governor had the foresight to not activate the evacuation plans and use all those city buses to evacuate the populace.  And how they never thought to request Federal Aid.  After all we don&#039;t have to ask Santa Claus to come every year - he just does.   

What vision it was to turn a disaster into a catastrophe that could be blamed on the POTUS!

I&#039;ll never forget the images of those citizens in the Super Dome banding together to help their fellow survivors while deconstructing the details of the conspiracy by the rich white people that doomed their city.

And the gall of those people in Fargo to not take up rent free residence in FEMA trailers for the next dozen years.  So damn -------- Republican of them.</description>
