Thanksgiving Quiz

For teachers and parents:Another explanation of climategate in simple, readable terms

Boortz "Well, how about plugging in false temperatures to research data in order to either show a warming where there was none, or to hide a cooling trend? Yup! It's all detailed in the emails.

A message for the president

American Thinker "As it turned out in Yusufiya, the locals were most concerned that after a brief improvement in security, we would leave and Al Qaeda would return. They doubted our resolve.
