Convert you skeptics!24 Hours of Reality will broadcast a presentation by Al Gore every hour for 24 hours across 24 different time zones from Wednesday to Thursday, with the aim of convincing climate change deniers and driving action against global warming among households, schools and businesses.

It is becoming harder every day to stay calm...From The Hill.Senate Democrats on the supercommittee say the group needs to include stimulus for the economy in the deficit-reduction plan it has been tasked with producing by Thanksgiving.

No Sh*t...Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced Wednesday his plans to introduce a vote of no confidence in Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Turbo Tax Tim has failed miserably at this job. No second chances at saving face now. White House press secretary Jay Carney dismissed the idea Wednesday shortly before Obama was set to meet with Geithner at the White House.
The carnival barker disagrees of course. Carney said that the president has "great confidence in Secretary Geithner and his substantial capabilities."
Substantial capabilities? Dodging taxes? Understanding tax software for dummies?The Zero has a zero running ruining the Treasury Dept.
Conscience Of A Liberal Idiot...On one hand, there is a case to be made that the madness of the right has made America a fundamentally unsound nation. And yes, it is the madness of the right: if not for the extremism of anti-tax Republicans, we would have no trouble reaching an agreement that would ensure long-run solvency.
Color me as a extremist anti-tax American...Krugman? You make the call.
Just a number of headwinds...But White House spokesman Jay Carney acknowledged at a news conference that growth has slowed as the economy grapples with the effects of high energy prices and other challenges, including the Japanese earthquake and the U.S. debt limit debate.

Or going after Dogs.Plagued with pets that do business in all the wrong places, dog owners in the Village of Abacoa, a condominium association of 458 units, must pay a $200 fee starting Aug. 1. The money will pay DNA Pet World Registry to take the dog's genetic fingerprint and keep the information on file.
Doggie droppings found in condo common areas will be collected and mailed in a plastic tube to the Knoxville, Tenn.-based company. If the poop matches the pooch, the owners can be fined up to $1,000. If they don't pay, a lien can be placed on their home, said Susan Nellen, property manager for Versa Property
Feces ID is a booming business? This could work well in DC...Just saying.
