Here's a short description of McCain.

John McCain: A 72-year old man with a history of cancer who chose a hockey mom he'd met only once to be a heartbeat away from the most powerful job in the world.

After the fold is a long description of how I constructed that short description.

My wife is American. She doesn't follow politics, and doesn't even watch the news. But she's a life-long Democrat, because she's vehemently pro-choice, inherently tolerant, and knows she's not like her parents.

Want to sequester carbon, create fuel and improve soils in a single step? Then smoulder biomass (such as corn stover or peanut hulls) in the absence of oxygen. The first byproduct is "biochar" (also called "agrichar"), a fertiliser responsible for the rich "terra preta" (black land) soils of the Amazon. The second byproduct is biodiesel, more than enough to fuel the smouldering. And the entire process is carbon negative! The recent International Agrichar Initiative 2007 Conference presented the latest research on this exciting topic. Is this the birth of a new wedge in the fight against global warming?

I think everyone should all but ignore Edwards' real surname, and just use "Johnny Sunshine" as much as possible. It's the perfect meme, especially since the Republicans are trying the "pessimism" criticism.

Just think about it:

Kerry/Sunshine '04

Puts a smile on your face, no?

Sick of the overly-simplistic left vs. right view of the political spectrum? Unsure about the relationship between libertarians and conservatives, or liberals and communists? Take 1 minute to try the smallest political quiz in the world. It might just change the way you view the political spectrum; it did for me. Read More
