Monday's Musings

Condi Rice says it's a remarkable accomplishment that Barack Obama is slated to become the first black Presidential nominee for a major party. She hasn't specified whether or not she'll vote for him.

The American Physical Society has a membership of 50,000 scientists. They recently stated that the vast majority of their membership do not believe in mad-made global warming.

Hugo Chavez is giving away free oil to Americans. Some politicians denounce it as grandstanding. I guess they think we should just bow down to the dictators from Exxon/Shell/BP and the other major oil companies.

What's wrong with McCain and geography? It looks like his foot is very comfortable in his mouth. First, he repeatedly referenced Chechoslavakia; which hasn't existed since 1993. Now, in an interview with ABC News, he mentions the non-existent Iraq/Pakistan border. Given his constant geography mishaps, you gotta wonder whether or not these come from pure ignorance or alzheimers. Either case, it's not good for the Republicans.

A federal appeals court tossed the FCC's fine of the Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction". Good.
