...negative Democratic stereotypes. But Democrats are not obligated to lend Fox’s events legitimacy by participating. As Matt Stoller, a vocal Fox critic wrote on the blog MyDD, “The goal is not to get Democrats not to appear on Fox News…the problem comes in validating Fox News as a legitimate news source...
...spits, paying homage to NBA point guard Damon Stoudamire. It’s the kind of irreverent, pun-heavy rhyme that has sustained Redman’s fan base throughout his six solo efforts and two collaborative albums. But there’s a big problem: Stoudamire doesn’t play for the Portland Trail Blazers anymore—he’s been in Memphis for the last two years, and is no longer much of a cultural touchstone.

Their conclusions were then reviewed by officials from over 100 countries - some less convinced than others of the science behind global warming - to produce a document politically acceptable to the governments of the world. The search for diplomatic consensus necessarily waters down the findings of the scientists, although such consensus is a prerequisite for effective global...
