WASHINGTON — The United States has filed charges against David Hicks, an Australian citizen suspected of aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan and the first terrorism-war era detainee to be charged by the Defense Department under new rules for military commissions.

UFO science key to halting climate change: former Canadian defense minister
OTTAWA (AFP) - A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change, a local paper said Wednesday.

“The solar irradiance began to drop in the 1990s, and a minimum will be reached by approximately 2040,” Abdussamatov said. “It will cause a steep cooling of the climate on Earth in 15 to 20 years.”
Holy Cow! A testable prediction!
Yeah, sure. And those points were racked up using reconstituted fuel which burns clean.

The average U.S. household could save over $50 per year in utility costs by regularly replacing drip pans.
Really? Well, let’s extrapolate!
Gore’s home consumes 20 times the power of the average household. If his drip pans were replaced regularly, he could save $1,000 per year—and that’s just one of his three houses!
Do you suppose his servants would take my call?

The usual environmentalist pollie who gathers his votes in the urban areas and tells everyone else how to live. Called for the closing down of the entire Australian coal industry in no more than 3 or 4 years.
A real fanatic wingnut.The last state election I went to had a greens supporter sitting in his new mercedies with the door open, engine running, and air conditioner on giving out how to vote cards. Oh and he had a “greens not greed” banner strung between a couple of trees.
Hope that helps. Anyway you may be right about drunkeness a kilt wearing maniac just joined in another thread and the wail of bagpipes (or is that Andrea setting the bees onto a troll?) and smell of grog seems fairly strong.

Posted by Don Charleone on 2007 03 02 at 08:44 AM • permalinkI like to hear the pipes, when they are played properly. We had a Scot in Baghdad who’d play everyday around noon. It helped drown out the incessant wailing coming from a nearby mosque, so that definitely brought the bagpipes stock up a few points in my book.
But what do I know? I also like accordion music and Bavarian yodeling.

Jeez, 65,000 people attending fro 189 countries? This thing is going to be as big as that South African conference on poverty & hunger—you know, the one where the delegates feasted on lobster and other fancy food, not letting any of it go to the actual poor, hungry kids.
