Thanks. I keep meaning to work my way through the informative pamphlets put out by both sides, but I've been too busy to get to it.

Perhaps you should take your show on the road, so you can tell the scientific community (not including those paid by ExxonMobil) why they are all wrong.

Ah, but playing an important role is not quite the same thing as causing it, wouldn't you say?

I'm with you.

And you acknowledge that man descended from squirrels, right?

Once a clerk, always a clerk.

You're correct. I was thinking of the 10th Amendment (but got even that number wrong) -- when the 9th is clearly a better fit.

"Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

"Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."


P.S. I paid lots of attention in ConLaw. That was before I learned that litigators don't have to actually know anything.

How to make sense of the horror of Katrina? The dead, the people who lost every single thing in their lives but the clothes on their backs, the economic toll of rebuilding ?

To the Christian patriots, it's clear - God was telling us He hates abortion.

Is the person who wrote that a US Congressman?

Second place goes to any decision relating to Richard Hongisto, unless it was firing him.

In any event -- I didn't think that SF cancelled them. I did a little searching and all I saw was that the navy gave some non-substantive reasons for the Blue Angels not coming in 2004. Were they really cancelled by SF? Who? I couldn't imagine Newsom doing that, and if it was the Supes there would be some press about it but I'm not remembering or finding any.

According to the Navy website, however, the Blue Angels will be here this year. It's the one thing I miss about my last home -- I had an amazing view of them from my roof.
I remember reading that it was cancelled due to money issues, but I don't recall the specifics. I had conversations with the local merchants in my area and they were pissed because it is one of the biggest weekends of the year for them. I also understand that the city lost millions in parking and other fees from the event.

This is what's in my car's CD player just now:

I'm working my way through this now. No songs lauding the erasure of capital gains taxes, but it's good stuff. Thanks for the recommendation.

You know, I followed the links to the originating website and I couldn't find anything there about patriotism. I didn't spend a lot of time hunting, but it's not a huge site. Did I miss it?

Ditto. There's nothing quite like having a Blue Angel fighter jet buzz your apartment.
