Posted by: ST on October 24, 2007 at 10:43 pm » 7 Comments

I haven’t done a “Loser of the Week” feature in a while, but I saw so many tonight while perusing the news and blogs that I just couldn’t help myself from composing a post about them.

Harry Reid: Global warming to blame for Southern California wildfires

Posted by: ST on October 24, 2007 at 9:25 am » 8 Comments
