Global Warming Emails Hoax are True. Now it might come to some big surprise to many of you that Al Gore and the liberal media are trying to convince you that man kind has created global warming. Which just to re iterate is completely untrue and there is NO evidence to support that claim. Yet Al Gore goes unchecked by people in the US and around the world. I happen to have been in contact with a Professor at MIT that has done over 20 years of...more

The majority of those aged 45, who may not believe in climate change, the younger who have accepted it like a new religion, or the skeptics who have been researching the CRU E-mail cover-up, we are all going to feel the effects of climate change.

Over 40 million Americans are enrolled in the Medicare program, not all of those Medicare beneficiaries have identical Medicare plans. Medicare programs can be designed to suit the particular needs of each Medicare beneficiary, which means that Medicare beneficiaries need to take time to understand the differences between major Medicare options so that they can ensure they select their best plans for their needs.Medicare Part B and Medicare Part D are popular Medicare options that beneficiaries can select.

ConclusionThe common Portuguese name Rodrigues (son of Rodrigo) was poorly chosen for us, by old masters, in evil times. Faced with being branded with it forever, even the brotherhood of Goblins, Gnomes and Gremlins would be reaching for the AK47. Seriously though, Rodrigues is an old relic, fossilized in another era, clearly disconnected from and...more
Its official. Greed is no longer cool. As turbocharged capitalism implodes and jobless queues swell, sensible governments have had to slip the bonds of laissez faire dogma to prop up their economies. The free-market model is on the nose. Unfettered global creditors have plunged much of the developed world into debt-bondage; these days, their enforcers, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank wield the structural readjustment stick with renewed vigour. And it slashes to the bone. Reeling from this brigandage some countries are starting to cut their own cloth to fit their circumstances. Troubled times demand it! But I did say some, not all. Here in the islands of Mauritius and its colonially attached dependency Rodrigues, the enforcers still have the run of the mill and, sometimes, they even get to run the mill. Inspired by neoliberal overkill, an awestruck local administration has taken to Rodrigues's public sector with a wrecking ball, putting up companies in its stead. Publicprivate sector partnership and privately-run but government-owned companies now rule the roost. This time, one lucky company has hit the jackpot: our water. That is, Rodrigues's local...more

Over the years, world leaders, heads of state, governors, a prince and a pope too, have visited our shores and, from time to time, weve been honoured to receive the odd poppadom oracle and wandering guru. All the same, rumour has it, that Prime...more
