Don't go making room in your trophy case just yet. I'm expecting 5 goals and 5 assists from every skater on my team for the next several days.

Last week, Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl and Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Arlen Specter proposed legislation that would increase regulatory scrutiny of Big Oil, which Kohl says "has unquestionably enriched itself during this period of high prices."

Don't count on it, it's rare that Cory likes any of my favorite stuff.
Pretty false general conception which everyone likes to play up to, when the fact is, I roughly own about 1/2 of the movies you do, and seen the other half, and don't think they're worth owning, but may have liked.
I also picked up Wolf Creek - and my dad sent me Grizzly Man in the mail as a gift because he liked it so much. Which was cool because it was on my short list anyway.
"Grizzly Man" is the most intolerable documentary I have ever watched, and Timothy Thompson got what he deserved, frankly.
Nevermind that your second comment lends extra credence to my first comment... and nevermind the absurdity of your 'take' on Grizzly Man and the fate of Timothy Thompson...
...I can't definitively comment on it until I watch it, but my dad is a psychologist and growing up around that puts another level of interest into this guy and his story for me - there's a lot more to it than documenting a guy who likes to hang out with bears or whatever the case may be. But Warner Herzog is a bastion of German Avant Garde filmmaking with over 40 years of experience to his credit, so I've got reasonably high expectations for the film.

I bought it yesterday as well. I was suprised to see a nice edition of it for so cheap.

I'm guessing they'd just register with fake stuff - I don't use myspace, but my impression is that to take advantage of most of the features and communication tools you need to register.

A year would be the same thing as overnight. It will take decades, and for every job you'd lose in one sector, you'd create another in the clean-energy sector. There are a few things stopping this from moving forward.
One of them is the oil lobbyists whispering in the ears of our elected officials.
The other is our elected officials short-sightedness. I.E., they only think far enough in advance to pander to voters around re-relection time.
We need visionaries who aren't afraid to tell oil companies to shove it - and it isn't going to happen any time soon.

Updating my earlier question... There is now a "Maximum Games and Innings" link showing up near the bottom of my "My Team" page.

Looking at the ages, it's amazing just how young most of them were.
I don't think it's out of the ordinary considering the majority of myspace users are under the age of what, 30?
I'd be tempted to bet that the majority of myspace users are under the age of 20.

I think you mean "liberal" environmentalists. Convervatives are all for drilling and minimizing our dependence on foreign oil and fat cat "princes."
We've been doing pretty good so far, leave that stuff out of if - when he said conservative I read it in the traditional sense of the word conservative as in 'Favoring traditional views; tending to oppose change.'

How do you supply 300 million Americans with new vehicles that utilize new technology at the drop of a hat?
Can you imagine the recalls?
Getting your car into a dealer would be just as difficult as getting in to see the doctor in Canada.
Who's suggesting that this could be done over-night? Just because it is going to take a long time doesn't mean we should just forget about it.

Yeah but (without having read your link yet) isn't the knock on hydrogen that it requires oil to convert into usable fuel? Which would sort of defeat the purpose to a degeee.

I walk to work whenever I don't have lunch-time errands to run. It's a great feeling.
