Japanese scientists are very concerned that the Arctic ice pack is melting far faster than previously thought.

Sort of on topic, the top 10 surprises about global warming.

Bush and Company keeps stripping the endangered species list. It isn't that the animals are increasing their populations, just that they are "in the way" of clear-cutting or just general raping of the land that Bush supporters would rather do with nature. The Rapture isn't coming on it's own, you know. The fundamentalist whack jobs are determined to make it happen.

Meanwhile, our myopic idiot of a president has been censoring the EPA at every turn. Why am I not surprised?

Oil execs swore to the House last month that high gas prices aren't their fault. They pulled the same BS in the Senate this week, even though a barrel of oil was up around $10 higher than last month. Despite record profits. Despite having the White House in their pocket. It frankly amazes me that no one has pulled one of these oil crime lords from their offices and blew their brains out in the middle of a street. There is a LOT to say about our complacent sheeple society. It gave us George Bush (twice) and $4 a gallon gas. Not to mention the Iraq War.

I don't want anarchy, but this is truly disgusting. Land of the free my ass.

Check out Senator Feingold's thoughts on the issue.

Meanwhile the GOP is bribing children to lie about global warming. This, combined with the coal, nuclear, and assorted power companies either pimping kids in their ads or outright lying about the problem just makes me want to kick these pieces of crap in the tailbone. Repeatedly.

And Lincoln Chafee weighs in on how the GOP attacks the environment at its own peril. Honestly, if Obama needs a Republican in his cabinet. He could do a lot worse than Chafee. Hell, even Hagel would do nicely.

In politics, Clinton doesn't even know what argument to make for Florida anymore.

And even her supporters say she is attacking Obama unfairly. Of course, they still voted for her.

To wrap with, 236.com tries to figure out just what the hell Hillary Clinton is thinking.
