TRANSCRIPT:
SARAH PALIN: And, while I was at it, we got rid of a few things in the governors office that I didnt believe our citizens should have to pay for. That luxury jet, it was over the top, so I put it on eBay [cheers] and I love to drive myself to work, and as you might have heard, we got rid of the governors personal chef. Though, I have to admit there, my kids really do miss her.

John McCain
Town Hall Meeting
Hudson, WI 07/11/08

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "With your indulgence, I'd like to allow a question from a token male in this audience."

AUDIENCE MEMBER: "[...] You said you want to put 45 new nuclear power plants in. What do you suppose we do with the waste?"

JOHN MCCAIN: "[...] We have to store and we have to re-process. [...] The French today, they have a facility in France—they re-process. Even the Russians have offered and [...] I'd like to pursue it any way to set up a reprocessing facility some place in Russia, in the area around Siberia [...] so we can store it and find ways to store it safely. There are environmental issues that have to be resolved with Yucca Mountain. And I favor going through that process. But I still think that we should both store and re-process. And other nations have done it successfully for many, many years."

John McCain
Town Hall
Pembroke, NH 01/02/08

TRANSCRIPTION
JOHN MCCAIN: [...] there are many many technologies. There's many alternate energy sources, there's many things we can do. And one of them, by the way, is nuclear power. And I know, in New Hampshire, because of Seabrook how controversial that is. But we have sailed Navy ships around the world for sixty years with nuclear power plants on them and we've never had an accident. The challenge is not nuclear power, the challenge is what do you do with the waste? What'd you do with the waste?

"Well, you can do what the Europeans do and reprocess it or you can store it. By the way, by the way, the French . . . 80% of their electricity is generated by nuclear power."

Outsourcing Global Pollution to India - Vandana Shiva

2008-07-03T18:34:40Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Environmental researcher and activist Vandana Shiva points out that as India has taken on greater production of global goods, it has also taken on a proportionate amount of global pollution.

-----

Since the 1980s, Shiva has championed the anti-globalization movement and is one of the leaders of the International Forum on Globalization. Her research and resultant advocacy explores the applicability of traditional Vedic knowledge and ecology to alleviate poverty in developing countries.

She is the founder and director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology, an organization whose research has validated the ecological value of traditional farming and whose efforts have been instrumental in fighting destructive building projects in India.

Shiva has also been active in repositioning women in the debate on development, for which she received the Right Livelihood Award, also known as the "Alternative Nobel Peace Prize."

Shiva has authored over 300 papers in leading scientific and technical journals and books include Biopiracy, Stolen Harvest, Monocultures of the Mind, and Water Wars. - City Arts and Lectures

Born in India in 1952, Vandana Shiva is a world-renowned environmental leader and thinker. Director of the Research Foundation on Science, Technology, and Ecology, she is the author of many books, including Water Wars: Pollution, Profits, and Privatization (South End Press, 2001), Biopiracy: The Plunder of Nature and Knowledge (South End Press, 1997), Monocultures of the Mind (Zed, 1993), The Violence of the Green Revolution (Zed, 1992), and Staying Alive (St. Martin's Press, 1989).

Shiva is a leader in the International Forum on Globalization, along with Ralph Nader and Jeremy Rifkin. She addressed the World Trade Organization summit in Seattle, 1999, as well as the recent World Economic Forum in Melbourne, 2000. In 1993, Shiva won the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize (the Right Livelihood Award). The founder of Navdanya ("nine seeds"), a movement promoting diversity and use of native seeds, she also set up the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Ecology in her mother's cowshed in 1997. Its studies have validated the ecological value of traditional farming and been instrumental in fighting destructive development projects in India .

Dave Barry - Why You Shouldn't Make Fun of North Dakota

2008-06-10T09:33:51Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist Dave Barry identifies what is, in his words, a common "theme" running throughout his career.

-----

Dave Barry discusses "Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far)."

So much has happened in our aughts already, it is imperative that we take a moment to review Dave Barry's year-by-year history of the millennium. He has, with great insight and courage, taken the time to record these turbulent times. For those with "outrage overload," this is a chance to laugh at it all - Politics and Prose

Dave Barry is a humor columnist. For 25 years he was a syndicated columnist whose work appeared in more than 500 newspapers in the United States and abroad. In 1988 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Many people are still trying to figure out how this happened.

Dave has also written a total of 30 books, although virtually none of them contain useful information. Two of his books were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom "Dave's World," in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave.

Dave plays lead guitar in a literary rock band called the Rock Bottom Remainders, whose other members include Stephen King, Amy Tan, Ridley Pearson and Mitch Albom. They are not musically skilled, but they are extremely loud. Dave has also made many TV appearances, including one on the David Letterman show where he proved that it is possible to set fire to a pair of men's underpants with a Barbie doll. - Dave Barry Official Website
