A group on the web called "ScienceDebate2008" asked both of the Presidential candidates their views on a number of issues regarding science, ranging from stem cells to the integrity of scientific research.

Barack Obama answered in detail and his responses can be found at the ScienceDebate2008 website:

However, John McCain has not yet answered these important questions. In the interest of advancing science (and providing a few laughs on this lovely Labor Day), I am taking the liberty to answer for John McCain.

The U.S. and Russia are having "difficulties" over Georgia. But, is that a reason for the U.S. to block tourist visas to anyone carrying a Russian passport?

Will the FISA bill be your legacy, Senator Feinstein? When you and other cowardly Democrats, too milk-fed on easy Telecom money, shivering with fear over possibly being blamed by your GOP rivals for another 9/11, and too comfortable to take a principled stand that could rock the Bush Administration boat, sold out the Constitution for your 30 pieces of sliver?

Last night's CNN late-night coverage of the Indiana primary was more than bad; it was the lamest, most assinine, petulant, and stupid cable news coverage in a primary season filled with lame and stupid coverage.

Two months ago, the Democratic Party seemed poised to crush the GOP in the fall. Talk of a Democratic "dream team" was all over the media and on the lips of hopeful Democrats heartsick over the war in Iraq and increasingly concerned about the faltering U.S. economy.

For a brief, shimmering moment, historic roadblocks were poised to be swept away in wave of unity and Democratic hope. Then personal ambition took over.

By not signing on to a Democratic dream team when the chance was real, Hillary Clinton's insistence on continuing the race may prove to be the Great Lost Opportunity of 2008.

The GOP brand is tarnished, blood-spattered, and bent. In 2008, no one with any sense is buying GOP.

However, they do have one - and only one - hole card: Fear. Fear is capable of making the electorate break toward the party perceived as the strongest and best able to protect the American people against immediate threat.

That threat is Iran. The GOP will make sure of it.

It's been seven years of George W. Bush, seven years of war, failure, corruption, natural disasters, a falling dollar, and gas prices going up up up. Through it all Bush stands in front of the cameras with his chest out and a smirk on his face. He's brought chaos to the Middle East and the U.S. close to financial ruin, and yet he never seems to be troubled. It's time to ask: is something fundamental missing in this man?

Since 9/11, the Bush Administration has worked hard to justify the need for a Total Surveillance State: a country where all citizens are subservient to the needs of "national security;" where a person's home, email, phone conversations, private discourse, and records can be easily accessed by the government; where the requirements provided by the Fourth Ammendment no longer apply. In short, a state where warrants are not needed and government fiat supercedes Constitutional protections.

Sounds like Orwell's 1984 fantasy state, yes? Not at all like the United States we all know and love. But look closely..... the model George W. Bush is working to implement did exist. It was the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). For a fascinating, albeit scary look into what kind of country George W. Bush wants the USA to become, see the movie "The Lives of Others."

One year ago this week the Democrats won a resounding victory in both the House and Senate, regaining control of Congress after six long years of total, lock-step, Republican rule. One year ago this week, the country had high hopes of a new direction in Iraq and accountability for the worst excesses of the Bush administration. Today, those high hopes have been seriously diminished. What happened?

President Bush's assertion that the U.S. must not be bound by international restrictions on interrogation and torture is preposterous and destructive. Americans who honor justice, the Rule of Law, our international obligations, and the checks and balances of our Constitution must stand up for decency and common sense by opposing President Bush's push to undermine the Geneva Conventions.

Like everything else in his life, George W. Bush thought war would be easy. Now, the wheels are coming off Bush's war fantasy and he simply doesn't know how to fix it. Read More

Guns and alcohol....... now that's an American story. Amid all the sturm and drang of the shooting incident, the one glaringly obvious question doesn't seem to have been asked:
