...That means when you are 61, you will be allowed the average per capita emissions of an American in 1867,” Michaels said. He added that if every country under the Kyoto treaty adopted similar measures, we would prevent just seven percent of the warming that the UN predicts will occur...
Blame the homecomings on boredom, nostalgia or an indomitable drive to compete ("I got the itch," Favre reportedly told former teammate Al Harris during his first return, in 2008). But not all comebacks are success stories. Just ask Bjorn Borg, who left tennis in 1983 and un-retired in 1991, wooden racket in hand. He didn't win a single match that year.

And it was, through a bailout that placed trillions of taxpayer dollars at risk. It was expensive, messy and unfair. It struck many people as un-American. But it worked. "I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system" is how President George W. Bush described it last December...
