I think Joaquin's just over all of it, it being the Hollywood machine. His publicist probably booked him against his wishes and last night was his payback. Dave tried harder than I thought he would, bent over backward with the ass kissing, etc. I'd love to see what Craig Ferguson would've done in the same situation.

Did You See Joaquin Phoenix On Letterman???
by minimus ingo to you tube and it'll come right up if you haven't seen it.
for 10 long minutes letterman tries to interview phoenix but cannot get anything out of him!
this is either a gag or phoenix is just like his other brother river who died from drugs.. what a contrast between that interview and craig fergerson and robin williams on last week.

It doesn't look like anyone saw this in the original article, as there are multiple comments wondering why the doctors implanted 8 embryos. Apparently, they didn't.
"Angela Suleman told reporters Friday that doctors implanted far fewer than eight embryos, but they multiplied.
Experts said this could be possible since Nadya Suleman's system has likely been hyperstimulated for years with fertilization treatments and drugs."
So in fairness to Nadya, maybe she was only trying to have 12 kids. ;-)

Oooohhhh, now I get it. Thanks.
I know what you mean. Of all the billions going to Wall Street for screwing up, you'd think they could drop me $20,000 or so to pay off all my debts (including my Nissan Versa hatchback that I love). It's my own fault that I'm in debt - why shouldn't I be bailed out, too? ;-)

Your obsession would be a lot more entertaining for the rest of us if you were at least a tiny bit clever. He must have aroused quite a passion in you to cause your little stalk-a-thon. Carry on ... he should be home from work soon, so hang in there!

I don't get it either. Maybe if you say it real slow for me?
There were tax breaks for large purchases under Bush as well. I received one when I bought a new car in 2007 - I think it was around $1,000 for a $14,000 car (shout out to my Nissan Versa hatchback - I love you!).

Global Warming Is Irreversible, Study Says
by Alpaca inwe are in for a very rough ride in the coming decades.. this was reported on npr:.
all things considered,january 26, 2009 climate change is essentially irreversible, according to a sobering new scientific study.. as carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise, the world will experience more and more long-term environmental disruption.
the damage will persist even when, and if, emissions are brought under control, says study author susan solomon, who is among the world's top climate scientists.. "we're used to thinking about pollution problems as things that we can fix," solomon says.

To go with the cartoon above: http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2009/02/bush-oral-history200902
Excerpted from an oral history of the Bush years consisting entirely of conversations with the people who were there:
February 14, 2002 The Bush administration proposes a Clear Skies Initiative, which relaxes air-quality and emissions standards. This is followed by a Healthy Forests Initiative, which opens up national forests to increased logging. Climate change becomes a forbidden subject.
Rick Piltz, senior associate, U.S. Climate Change Science Program: At the beginning of the Bush administration, Ari Patrinos, a very senior science official who had run the Department of Energy’s climate-change research program for many years, and a half-dozen high-ranking federal science officials were brought together and told to explain the science and help develop policy options for a proactive climate-change policy for the administration. They moved into an office downtown, and they worked very hard and were briefing at the Cabinet level, in the White House. Cheney was there, Colin Powell was there, Commerce Secretary [Don] Evans was there. They were making the case on climate change.
And one day they were told: Take it down, pack it up, go back to your offices—we don’t need you anymore.
June 7, 2005 Documents emerge indicating that the decision to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, in 2001, was influenced by the Global Climate Coalition, an industry group with ties to Exxon. One State Department letter to the coalition states: “Potus [president of the United States] rejected Kyoto in part based on input from you.” Several days later, Philip Cooney, a former American Petroleum Institute lobbyist and the chief of staff of the president’s Council on Environmental Quality, resigns after it is revealed that he had edited government reports to downplay the threat of climate change. Cooney takes a job at Exxon.
Rick Piltz, senior associate, U.S. Climate Change Science Program: In the fall of 2002, I was doing something I’d been doing for years, which was developing and editing the [Climate Change Science Program’s] annual report to Congress. And it had been drafted with input from dozens of federal scientists and reviewed and vetted and revised and vetted some more.
And then it had to go for a White House clearance. It came back to us over the fax machine with Phil Cooney’s hand markup on it. I flipped through it and saw right away what he was doing. You don’t need to do a huge amount of re-writing to make something say something different; you just need to change a word, change a phrase, cross out a sentence, add some adjectives. And what he was doing was, he was passing a screen over the report to introduce uncertainty language into statements about global warming. The political motivation of it was obvious.
December 6, 2005 nasa scientist James Hansen gives a lecture on climate change at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union, in San Francisco. nasa reacts by ordering his future public statements to be vetted in advance. Earlier in the year Rick Piltz had resigned from the Climate Change Science Program over other instances of political interference.
Rick Piltz, senior associate, U.S. Climate Change Science Program: To me, the central climate-science scandal of the Bush administration was the suppression of the National Assessment of Climate Change Impacts report. In the 1997–2000 time frame, the White House had directed the Global Change Research Program to develop a scientifically based assessment of the implications of climate change for the United States. It was a vulnerability assessment: If these projected warming models are correct, what’s going to happen? And over a period of several years a team made up of eminent scientists and other experts produced a major report. To this day, it remains the most comprehensive effort to understand the implications of global warming for the United States.
And the administration killed that study. They directed federal agencies not to make any reference to the existence of it in any further reports. Through a series of deletions it was completely excised from all program reports from 2002 onward. It was left up on a Web site. There was a lawsuit filed by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which is an ExxonMobil-funded “denialist” group, demanding that the report be deleted from the Web. Myron Ebell of the institute said, Our goal is to make that report vanish.

Doing the best I can on the Global Warming...
by Gregor inthis winter is not over but it has, so far, been brutal.
in our part of the world we have seen weeks of sub-freezing temps and blizzards that have left us virtually isolated.
we live very modestly, no 10,000 sq ft mansions, no private jets or limosines, but, none the less, we do what we can to speed up global warming.

As Kudra has already told you on the other thread, scientists never called it global warming. That was the media.
