The American objections center on parts of the document that approve measures and offices that the United States has opposed in other forums.

Among them are the International Criminal Court, which the United States says could hear frivolous actions against Americans abroad; the Kyoto Protocol on global warming; the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty; and a pledge to devote 0.7 percent of gross national product to development

1. I was listening to AccuWeather last week, and the meteorologists....
had to modify their weather programs to allow them to put in Gulf sea surface temperatures of over 90 degrees. The program was designed to stop such entries as user input error.

3. I swear that's what Ken Reeves said in Point/Counterpoint...

5. PS: Most of the AccuWeather on-screen talent are big Fox News fans...

7. This is where Bush should pay a political price for this tragedy...
Because if they continue to ignore global warming, this is our kid's future....

6. time for the Louisiana governor to file suit vs. Bushler et al?
Sounds like it to me. Of course, it'll never happen. The Federalist Society Klansmen will throw it out of court.
