San Francisco Chronicle: It ’ s only a “ hapless toad,'’ in John Roberts ’ words. But of all the cases in the Supreme Court nominee ’ s career, a dispute over an endangered amphibian in the path of a California homebuilder may provide the best indication of his views on most any major issue likely to come before the court. The July 2003 opinion — his first after President Bush appointed him to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. — questioned an important legal rationale for the Endangered Species Act. The opinion also suggested that Roberts has a narrow interpretation of the federal government ’ s power to regulate interstate commerce, the basis for a wide range of laws.

Second Life is divided into self-contained Teen (no sexual content allowed) and Adult (18 +) zones, with the latter further split into "PG" and "Mature" areas. Despite the isolation of sexual content to appropriate areas, it could be argued that Second Life, like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, contains "hidden" sexual content. Although extremely popular within the SL community, Mature content isn't advertised by developers Linden Lab as the sort of content one might discover in their virtual world. Given the recent rabidity of the Morality Police, Linden Lab might consider repositioning Second Life's sexual content before censors discover what goes on inside the gates.

As this article reminds us, recess appointments are hardly new or even rare. Ronald Reagan made 243 during his two terms in office. George H. W. Bush made 77 recess appointments during his single term. Bill Clinton made 140 recess appointments over two terms. As of July 31, 2005, six months into his second term, George W. Bush has made 105 recess appointments (at this rate, he will probably match or exceed Reagan's record).

The Glycemic Index indicates how high or low blood sugar levels change in response to carbohydrate intake. A high Glycemic Index indicates carbohydrates with a swift breakdown, whereas a low Glycemic Index indicates carbohydrates with slow, gradual breakdown. Both terms are of equal importance to diabetics, because there are times with high Glycemic Index foods are required, and times where low Glycemic Index foods are required.

Thank God for Howard Dean, who has apparently now blamed the Kelo eminent domain decision on President Bush and his “ right-wing Supreme Court. ” (Via Instapundit). This is hilarious on so many different levels.

The romantic comedy can sometimes be a bit of a hard sell these days. What passes as comedy can often leave a lot desired to a certain discerning audience, whereas sometimes a discerning audience feels compelled to just put up and shut up, and drop a ten dollar bill on a couple hours'worth of entertainment. We 're sometimes kind of suckers for the lighter, lovelorn fare, which, in combination with a couple of good pals, is what brought us into the dark, icebox of a theatre to see Diane Lane and John Cusack get cute in

Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't in and of themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top. Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.

I can understand that a third party can not do everything that a major party is capable of, but this summer, there is only one election for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives - the one that Republican Jean Schmidt and Democrat Paul Hackett are running for. If the Green Party was serious about creating change, they could find just one person to run in this election, but they haven't. The Green Party has failed even to show up.

again two nights ago (I watch it whenever it is on - brilliant), I wondered if it were possible, would erasing someone you loved from your mind be a compliment or an insult? In the movie, Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) remove each other from their respective memories so the pain will go away. Well, that and thy ’ re angry with one another. Joel loves Clementine deeply, but is an introvert and has difficulty expressing himself - only when he is inside his own final memory of her does he realize what a mistake his decision is.

Square used to have an impilcit policy of never returning to the same world. Final Fantasy I-XII so far have never featured the same characters or the same mythical worlds. But all that changed with Final Fantasy X-2 and, once Square Enix realized that everyone adored Final Fantasy VII, a movie and multiple games were all announced simultaneously. I hope this doesn ’ t dilute the product, but it is nice to see Cloud again, and the Advent Children trailer really does look nice.

But this just seemed so much better.

John Bolton is an embarassment to the United States. He may now carry the title of United States Ambassador to the United Nations, but in reality, he is only the Right Wing Extremist Ambassador to the United Nations. John Bolton's values and political agenda only represent a minority of Americans who exist on the radical fringe of the Republican Party. Never forget that President Bush failed to get the necessary approval of the United States Senate to send John Bolton to the United Nations. That's because even Republican senators were uneasy with John Bolton's disregard for the most basic standards of honesty, professional decency, and the importance of international law.
