Ethanol: A Global Warming Solution Worse Than the Problem
Story
There are risks to global warming policy as well as risks to global warming, and although the former could be costlier than the latter, they are often neglected in climate change debate. While it may seem far-fetched to some that responding to the "climate crisis" could do more harm than good, it is in fact already happening. Consider the biofuels mandate, which is contributing to the very global warming problems it was designed to prevent.

Why Planned Parenthood is going to Mega-Centers
Story
Planned Parenthood's new abortion centers in places like Houston, Portland, Denver and Aurora are unlike their current facilities nationwide. These new centers that have been built or are in the construction phase are massive in size. The new size could allow clinical research in drug trials on teenagers and young adults that would allow Planned Parenthood to benefit from its high number of clients and receive funds from drug companies looking for patients to be involved in clinical trials. "One need only watch a couple of days’ worth of television commercials to see the veritable explosion of contraceptive drugs hitting the market," he said. "All of these drugs need to be tested on humans and Planned Parenthood seems to be positioning itself to do such clinical research in its mega-centers." Planned Parenthood will also be able to do clinical research on new abortion techniques or engage in other ominous ventures."

It's Obama's Character, Stupid
Story
I picked up a copy of Time magazine yesterday, in which a columnist declared that issues of "character" were a "distraction" in the Presidential race. Obama actually said the same thing in his North Carolina press conference, that the Reverend Wright affair has been a "distraction." Isn't this what liberals usually say when their own characters come under public scrutiny? What a heap of pure poppycock! Character is the primary issue in every Presidential election.
