US to add polar bears to &#034;threatened&#034; species list
&#8211;and&#8211;
Polar Bear numbers are increasing in the eastern arctic
&#8230;and I thought a &#034;scientific consensus&#034; would have to include scientific facts.  I guess just don&#039;t have enough &#034;blind faith&#034; to believe in global warming.

		<title>Rain Barrels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned a few posts back, a couple weekends ago I built a rain collection system to collect and store rain water.  We have a small detached garage, and behind it we now have a garden.  I installed a gutter along the edge of the roof, and then added a downspout that [...]]]></description>

You&#039;ll have to see it to believe it.
By the way, why don&#039;t TV shows have sweet theme songs like they used to?  Give me one show in the last 10 years that has anything even in the same league as MacGuyver, Knight Rider, or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mother Nature&#039;s New Enemy: Herself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - In response to the eruption of Chile’s Chaitén Volcano earlier this week, environmental experts are asking the international community to step up its efforts to prevent volcanic eruptions.

For some inexplicable reason, I&#039;ve had an incredible urge to grow things this spring.  I think it started when I aerated the yard and put some grass seed down.  After that I re-potted a couple of plants [...]]]></description>

This spacing is a little closer together than what, as far as I can tell, is culturally acceptable.  So, we invariably get the &#034;Was this, um, expected?&#034; question each time [...]]]></description>

Out of the three, Juno is the one that [...]]]></description>

Some might say that if you have the faith, then that is sufficient&#8211;you can go off by yourself, you and your faith, and do all your confirming of interest away from [...]]]></description>

1.  What exactly are they trying to communicate here?
2.  Can you imagine a helpless, frustrated Jesus standing on the sidelines like this?
3.  Why is &#034;Christian drama&#034; usually this bad, or worse?
4.  Why does Jesus look like Justin Timberlake in a purple and white bathrobe?

		<title>Earth Daze</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Be sure to call your senator or representative to urge them to resist costly and nonsensical climate change legislation based on biased science and a former vice-president&#039;s lust for the limelight.  I guarantee that the enviro-gestapo will be calling today.  Hopefully their voice won&#039;t be the only one that&#039;s heard.

From the article:
California’s gasoline prices are 10-15% higher than the rest of the country. Why? It costs more to produce the highly regulated gasoline in California, and there is less flexibility to obtaining supply. In Nebraska today, the ordinary person fills [...]]]></description>

From an Out of Ur article:

Hawkins (Executive Pastor of Willow Creek) says, &#034;We used to think you can’t upset a seeker. But while focusing on that we’ve really upset the Christ-centered people.&#034; He spoke about the high levels [...]]]></description>

Asked about so-called profiling of Muslims, Mr. Mukasey said that tactic is not used at airports. However, he used blunt language to defend extra scrutiny the Justice Department gives to militant Islamic groups.
