Chucky K. is not a shill for the republican party and neo-cons?!?!? Seriously? How would you explain what he does for a living then? What would you call it, objective and unbiased analysis? That, my friend, is a fucking joke. Krauthammer is a shill, he may be a smart guy and he definitely has some insight on foreign policy questions, but he is a card carrying member of the neo-con intelligentsia, and he shills for their agenda. Plain and simple. That's why I chose to focus on Chucky K. and Joe Biden. They are both shills for their sides of the debate. I happen to agree with Biden on this particular question, but truth probably lies somewhere in between the two. Are you kidding me? Chucky K. is not a shill for the republican party and neo-cons?!?!?

Krauthammer is an award-winning columnist with a lifetime of commentary behind him. Agree or disagree, he clearly shills for nobody. You, on the other hand, think that calling someone a shill discredits a lifetime of work. If anyone is shilling, it is you.

It doesn't. What the Bible says is the father of Jesus was someone other than the man his mother married. This was unacdceptable for the Church fathers. On the basis of a mistranslation and twisting Jewish idiom into a Greek mould they upgraded his birth to something acceptable to the Greek mind.

]]> Comment on What is biochar? by Michael Garjian http://rebello.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/what-is-biochar/#comment-773 Michael Garjian Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:25:29 +0000 http://rebello.wordpress.com/?p=515#comment-773 Not all charcoal is biochar. True biochar is the result of heating biomass in an emission free pyrolysis reactor devoid of oxygen. Biochar has been shown to be a very effective soil amendment in numerous studies in South America and Japan. It is becoming popularized enough in the US that Biochar Xtra is now even being sold on Ebay. Others are using the bio-oils derived from biochar production to replace fossil fuels. Some folks are alarmed at the possibility of vast tracts of land being denuded to produce biochar. This is not a valid concern because, due to its very low density of from 20 to 35 pounds per cubic foot, the transport of biochar over long distances is not economically feasible.

]]> Comment on Did FDR’s New Deal policies really prolong the Great Depression? Will Obama’s policies have a similar effect? by Tony http://rebello.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/did-fdrs-new-deal-policies-really-prolong-the-great-depression-will-obamas-policies-have-a-similar-effect/#comment-770 Tony Mon, 15 Jun 2009 19:02:08 +0000 http://rebello.wordpress.com/?p=492#comment-770 I agree with most of the UCLA article, but note that those things that FDR was criticized for within it are not to be confused with the idea of stimulus spending in general, but rather specifically the "anti-competition and pro-labor measures" within it. Obama has learned from history, and isn't pushing for higher wages right now, and is doing just the opposite on the anti-trust front.
