BUSH POLICIES TO BLAME

"A strong dose of space weather is forecast to hit Earth Friday afternoon, potentially disrupting satellite communications and posing a threat to power grids on Earth..."

Paul Krugman, writing for the NYTimes, condemned Bush: "His support for Jewish space science has enabled the Sharon government to create these disruptions that will surely fuel Muslim resentment of the West."

In other news, Ted Kennedy called Bush's policy on solar flares "lost in space."

He stated "There is no imminent threat (of a solar storm). This was made up in Texas, announced yesterday to the Republican leadership that a storm was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing is a fraud," Kennedy said.

Yeah, but the weird thing is that pappy went and gave Ted this award. You don't suppose he gives credence to Ted's spaced out theories, do you?

I'm glad you guys cleared that up, Kennedy voted yes on the partial birth abortion ban and against requiring Iraq to repay reconstruction costs (of course he later changed his votes). So it was the Solar Flares that caused Kennedy to phase out and not the Scotch.

Actually Krugman is wrong again. El Nino is Israel's fault.

Kennedy's votes were rescinded and applied to the "No" vote for those respective bills. The language of the bills, according to Daschle, were "confusing".

Hard to understand that note of confusion when a bill is, for instance, to ban partial-birth abortion, is entitled as such. Maybe he was a little topsy, who knows.

He's such a little nebby smart ass punk, Krugman. He needs to be taken down many pegs and Luskin is defintely doing that successfully on an intellectual and ecnomic level as well as in a confrontational way, no matter what you think of Luskin's sometimes use of borderline ad hominem use.

If President Bush has the power to control the sun GOD Bless him.
I knew He was good but Holy Cow how good can it get?
