They do when it’s Michael Crichton taking a novel approach to Global Warming Alarmism in State of Fear.

Things to come

Friday, December 31st, 2004

I’m not much on new years predictions but IowaHawk’s 2005 year in review is hilarious. I’m personally looking foward to PowerLine’s takeover of the Minneapolis Star Tribune , the Marines putting down the Reuter’s staff uprising in Fallujah, DNC chairman Howard Dean changing the party name to “Progressive Berserkers”, the US withdrawl from Illinois quagmire [...]
