Switzerland to vote on legal rights for animals:
Is fishing as cruel as bullfighting? Antoine Goetschel thinks so. The Swiss lawyer carries the distinction of being the first man in the world to stand up in court on behalf of a dead (and eaten) 22lb pike.
The crucial issue, according to the sole animal advocate in Europe, [...]

In my opinion Paul Watson has no plans to ever pay such a reward. He is only doing this to try and raise the profile of the seal hunt again and to mill his naive supporters for more of their money to line his bank account. The Sea Shepherd Society is nothing more that an Eco terrorist organization who are willing to do anything and break any law to enrage their supporters and take more of their mo

"Where's that flying car I've been promised since I was a kid? Are you telling me that we can clone animals, spray cheese out of a can, and airbrush Susan Sarandon into something resembling a human being, but we can't make a freaking car hover? Something doesn't add up here. Who killed the flying car?" Ladies and gentlemen, a reading from Glenn Beck's new book Arguing With Idiots. When I re

I love that they make the point that we should be hopeful about the future, but we need to act to set aside habitat if we want to preserve plants, animals and birds. Look, I'm a conservative and a co

Not a great review, not by a mile. However, on the bright side the reviewer put in enough time writing a long one. I am willing to bet the guy is a Lefty with a capital "L", and if he cloaks that fact in something else, then he is a closet lefty, just like that Andrew Sullivan character and the obnoxious guy from Little Green Footballs........Meat is what she likes to consume most, though not ra

Read: More than 80 dead in European winter weather
No biggie, though. Just an anomaly. Really. And “the Hadley data is quite solid.” Oh, and Santa Claus is real, as well as the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, and the Great Pumpkin.
Warmer temperatures = people thrive, animals thrive, plants thrive. Cold kills more people than heat [...]

A Canadian and Australian journalist were freed on Wednesday after more than a year in captivity, Somali officials said. Police spokesman Col. Abdulhai Hassan Barise said Canadian Amanda Lindhout and Australian Nigel Brennan are at a Mogadishu hotel with Somali lawmaker Botan Isse Alin. Barise and Alin declined to say if ransom was paid for their release. And what about the child that Lindhout was
