Kerry is as close to God as God
It is very disheartening to me to still see articles in Leftwing publications and websites giving another rundown on the lies of George W. Bush. Do people really think that they can even possibly get through to someone at this point who doesn't know that Bush is a liar? Do people honestly think that writing another article on Bush's fabrications for a leftist site or magazine is actually useful?...

On The Media: Rush for the Grunts
The notion of taxpayer dollars subsidizing TV and radio with a perceived leftist tilt has long obsessed congressional Republicans. NPR and PBS, of course, deny having a liberal agenda, but what if an explicitly political program with extremist sentiments and ad hominem partisan rhetoric were distributed to government employees entirely at taxpayer expense? Well, say hi to the Rush Limbaugh Show brought to millions of U.S. servicemen and women and their families for an hour each day on America...

Risks Associated With Pharm and Industrial Crops?
Many of the novel substances produced in pharm and industrial crops exhibit high levels of biological activity and are intended to be used for particular purposes, under very controlled circumstances. None of these substances is intended to be incorporated in food or to be broadcast into the environment.
The magnitude of the risks such crops pose depends on many factors including which chemicals are involved, what organisms or environments are exposed, and the level and duration of the exp...

Union of Concerned Scientists Position on Biotechnology
UCS does not support or oppose genetic engineering per se. With respect to some applications, such as the production of pharmaceuticals by genetically engineered bacteria, the benefits are clear and compelling. In the food system, however, we find the risk-benefit calculus more difficult. For example, while it is possible that planting genetically engineered crops might reduce some pesticide use over the short term, it is also possible that a new breed of super-resistant weeds will develop...

Aide: Plane in D.C. Scare Not Off Course
``They (pilots) followed directions from air traffic controllers explicitly,'' Hogan said. ``They did not wander off course. They did not inadvertently enter the air space. They had permission to be there.
``It would appear the air traffic controllers did not notify any of the other agencies about the situation,'' Hogan said.
Groves said Fletcher, a former Air Force fighter pilot, was unaware until he landed of the uproar at the Capitol or that a pair of F-15 fighters had been sent alof...
