quote of the day
"We know the chief sources of the warming — fossil fuels and, in the tropics, the burning of trees for cooking — but we haven't moved to stop it, ... it really isn't that difficult to begin reducing carbon emissions, as Europe and Japan are doing already. We could certainly put a cap on the quantity of greenhouse gases industry can emit."

Dinosaurs lived and evolved for more than 185 million years until they became extinct. The cause has not been proven yet, but many believe that an asteroid over 9 miles wide hit the earth in the Gulf of Mexico.

Polls show Obama ahead of McCain in national race WASHINGTON — Democrat
in an Associated Press-Ipsos poll released Monday. And she does no better than Obama when pitted against McCain among two groups that have supported her in Democratic primaries so far: women and whites.
Barack Obama would narrowly defeat Republican John McCain if they were matched today in the presidential election, while McCain and Hillary Rodham Clinton are running about even, according to new general-election sentiment since the Super Tuesday contests.
Obama outpaces Clinton in a matchup against McCain among men, minorities and moderates
One reason McCain holds his own against Clinton is his support from men, who prefer him to the New York senator by 9 percent.
