I remember before his despicable indiscretions were fact they would

Considering that the recent "Climategate" revelations have cast *all*
the science behind global warming claims into doubt, the best that can
be said is that since the existing data has been shown to be corrupt,
we need to go back to the beginning and start over.
A less-charitable person might say that the whole concept of
human-caused global warming is a fraud deliberately engineered for
political reasons, and/or to keep the grant-money flowing.

Why do you think his marriage gone bad? Norm from LVRJ is reporting his
wife is not going anywehre, We all saw what happened to letterman, lasted a
week or two?
Tiger can hire a reputation expert to restore his celebrity, he may lose
some endorsements, but even if he only makes 65 million a year, I am
guessing he will slide by.

it if it were. Of course, a character RAH wanted us to like and

Being a Californian, I define "the beginning" as 1850. For documentation
of this, allow me to cite the California quarter, which has "1850" right
below the "CALIFORNIA" above John Muir and Yosemite Valley. YMMV.

Being a more charitable person allow me to tell you a nice SPAM story.
While I was in Pigeon Forge, TN I saw a plump woman in curlers and a
tweety bird outfit (bathrobe and slippers) play jingle bells on a SPAM
one string guitar. By a SPAM guitar I mean one whose sounding board and
cavity were an old SPAM can with a guitar string anchored to the bottom.
Does it take a conspiracy theorist to think that instrument was
engineered for entertainment value?

I've been a Jew in Russia and now I'm a Jew in the USA. How would you
say is being a Jew in Sweden different?
