    Scientists: Artificial life likely in 3 to 10 years

    Did you listen to the tape? Are you suggesting that the police officer was lying? Are the Republicans for "law and order" as long as the criminals aren't Republicans? BTW, it is to Democrats benefit that Craig stays on and be defeated in the next election. I would rather give him the benefit...

    Here is the link that debunks the others in your list: http://www.overlawyered.com/2003/06/lawsuit_urban_legends.html Note that this was a repost of an earlier 2001 note. Not just "gullible," another word that comes to mind is "uninformed." :p

    Republican Senator Larry Craig of Idaho Arrested For Lewd Conduct in Men's Room

    Would that be Mark Foley (D-FL)? At least that's what FOX told me... BTW, did you notice that FOX tried darn hard not to mention "Republican" when reporting the Craig story. For example, this story on FOX's website: "Police Report Details Craig Arrest on Lewd Conduct Charge Tuesday...

    Republican Senator Larry Craig of Idaho Arrested For Lewd Conduct in Men's Room

    Good tactic - change the subject when you can't win the debate. Just like Craig did. He was caught soliciting sex in a public restroom. He instead emphasized that he was not gay, "never has been." Craig and his supporters are just dumb or playing dumb that they don't know the difference.

    Newey-West Standard Errors

    Greenspan admitting he did it
