16. On A Clear Day You Can See Forever
Edited on Sun Jun-26-05 11:11 PM by bpilgrim
the M$MWs are only just now, though BARELY, giving these important topics coverage, was my point and i was try'n to be snarky with the recent Simpson's episode remark...

On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister
]

Originally aired: Sunday March 6, 2005 on FOX

The students of Springfield Elementary are on a field trip to Springfield's Glacier, but when they get there, the glacier is a shadow of its former self. Lisa (of course) blames global warming. While Lisa is calling for action to save the glacier, her brother is taking every opportunity to torment her. Meanwhile, back in town Homer and Marge have gone to Sprawl Mart to do some shopping. When Grampa (Sprawl Mart's greeter) isn't capable of doing his job, goes down, Homer takes over and does such a great job it gets him a full time position with no chance for advancement. Lisa has gotten her revenge on Bart by getting a restraining order against him, he must stay at least 20 feet away from her at all times, or go to jail. Chief Wiggum shows the family a videotape hosted by Gary Busey on how to live with a restraining order. For his part Homer constructs a 20 foot pole that Lisa can use to help keep them apart. It impacts Bart's life at home and school. At family court, after Bart points out some obvious flaws in her character, Judge Harm increases the distance to 200 feet. Having to live at the edge of their property, Bart decides to embrace living the natural way. Homer finds out from his fellow employees how to endure working at Sprawl Mart. And mistakenly feeling that Bart might have changed, Lisa decides to forgive him

12. You must like to reply to yourself or something.. its cool
CNN doesn't do "good stories".. they just have stories and reports that sometimes aren't TOO full of shit and make me want to drink grain alcohol 'till I go blind.

Bushco wants more science.

14. Well, I'm not sure if I agree with the whole "Bush wants more studying"
on global warming. You could have unquestionable scientific proof and show it to these goons, and they would say the same shit. It all comes down to the business community not wanting to comply with environmental standards.
