Random Gatherings:
More factchecking Fahrenheit:
Here's another site which puts a critical eye on the Michael Moore movie: War, Lies, and Videotape: A Viewer's Guide to Fahrenheit 9/11. Another guide, this one from the Ethics and Public Policy Center. The claim: "This assessment reveals that Moore's film is profoundly dishonest and misleading on a scale that even the very skeptical viewer cannot begin to appreciate without a careful analysis of each of the individual pieces that make up the narrative."
Contrails:
NASA's photo of the day shows this one, Contrail clutter, which shows jet contrails over Georgia. Along with the satellite photo there are several links here on whether contrails add to sky pollution and warming.
