They're going to sell us, and the planet out by presenting an unworkable text to Copenhagen. The proposed text would effectively remove any responsibility from the developed world to cut emissions, and instead would rely on deep cuts from the developing world.

It would also transfer responsibility for climate change from the United Nations to the World Bank.

The entire text, and an article with its summary, are over the hop.

I'd prefer to think that Congo and Zimbabwe can deal with the Earth's problems, not America, so yes

Sorry for the title, this is about Irish politics, not Ralph Nader. You might as well just read it anyway though :)

My cousin was wounded in Iraq. In May 2005. He almost died.

Two of his best friends died in that bombing. It wouldn't have happened if Gore had been elected. It might not have happened had Kerry been elected. That's why political decisions must be made in the interests of the country. I'd love to see the MONSTERS who I blame for my cousin going to the brink of death rot in a cell forever. God damn, I would. But you know what? That wouldn't happen. You know why? Because the second a Republican president got in office they'd be flying free as a bird. If they were convicted. Which would be hard to do, considering they could easily convince about half of the country that they were trying to make the best decisions for national security. It's incredibly hard to prosecute a government official.

Like a lot of people, I was concerned about the invocation- and while I publicly asked for people to give it time, I was on the inside pretty worried that there would be some subtle references to abortion or same-sex marriage. However, what we got was something entirely different- a completely generic Christian prayer, something that some of the ideologically secular people- with a likely considerable overlap with the group rallying around that court case to ban Obama from saying "So help me God" in the Oath, might get annoyed about the presence of the words "God", "Jesus", and the Lord's Prayer- and that's their right.

Continued after the fold.

How many people must die for your rule of law?

An altogether unnotable invocation from Warren.
