Why am I not surprised. :D

Thank you for reading it. My own view is that Obama's single most important achievement, and the one that made his foreign policy initiatives possible, was his decision to break from standard responses and practice. We don't yet know how these initiatives will work out. It will take a number of...

I wouldn't myself consider the ACA a highlight of the Obama Presidency, nor can I blame its defects on Obama alone. He had help from those in both parties who were bought by the vested interests. By the time it passed, the most effective cost containment measure had been thoroughly wrung out of...

This is wrong of course. You're of course going to ask for examples, so I'll give you my response now: consult the Internet using Google.

Your stats have some errors and you can't "slice and dice" them to fit you erroneous, preconceived notion. It would be refreshing to read a retraction.

I am forced by facts to strongly disagree. Although much of government has a life of its own, and the president usually has comparatively little influence except through his choice of Department Heads, there are some areas of government the President affects profoundly and directly. Here...

Trump may not understand, or he may and just want to make the Iran deal seem like a bad deal because he knows that's what his supporters want to hear. Deals like this have to play in prime time in both countries. Any release of Americans that are part of the negotiations, will occur somewhat...

This, below, is merely an elaboration on the my post above that Jem responded to. I wanted to be more specific regarding the main points where Hansen went wrong. Hansen has lost touch with reality. He is continuing the same nonsense today. Some of his predictions may someday come true, but...

Hansen has lost touch with reality. He is continuing the same nonsense today. Some of his predictions my someday come true, but there is no one who can, at this point, reliably say when or why. He isn't like the person who predicts a stock market crash, but does not say when. That person is...

I agree. It is ambiguous, because one has to be issue specific. I therefore have edited my post. Your point is well taken.

Your sarcasm is rather pointless.

I was totally unaware of that. Thank you.

interesting. Thank you.

Just off hand it seems there is a disconnect between the "science" of the PETM, and the James Hansen "Science" of the late twentieth Century. Aren't we getting just a little bit ahead of ourselves here? (see the underlined portion.) Well let's see, if we interpret "possibly" as "did" then our...

It is readily available in Dixieland.

Whatever.

Whatever. We don't think much alike. I'm fine with that. If you're not, that's your problem.

Not exactly. (I was speaking figuratively.) Have you heard of the Reichstagsbrand and Krystallnacht?

"All I know is what I read in the papers," and what the polls say.

Wow. That is insightful! Good for you!
