...here's the uncomfortable truth. Britain needed both Thatcher and Diana. Its old institutions were indeed rotten; its disdain for trade, for market values, was indeed debilitating, and condemned generations of Britons to stunted life chances. Britain's traditional masculine values of the stiff upper lip and "mustn't grumble" did indeed breed emotional cripples, unable to appreciate the heights - or handle the depths - of human experience...
...good lawyer makes you believe the truth," says attorney Doug Rich (Eddie Izzard) in THE RICHES, FX, MONDAYS, 10 P.M. E.T. "A great lawyer makes you believe the lie."

Instead, he should face the truth about his party affiliation and put ethics ahead of his appetite for power...
There is certainly some scientific truth to the hypothesis: The Earth does have some self-regulating properties. But is that the case for atmosphere-warming carbon dioxide? If the earth is self-regulating, the theory goes, then an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide should mean an increase in plant growth. Plants, after all, scrub carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so more plants should mean less carbon dioxide—thus countering the initial increase...
