Keir Starmer wants Britain to be both an "AI superpower" and a "clean energy superpower". He can't have it both ways, says Ben Pile. AI is hugely energy intensive and inconsistent with the path Net Zero is leading us down.

VP Debate: Cheney vs Edwards

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Wednesday October 06, 2004 12:55author by redjade Report this post to the editors

info and such about the 5 Oct 2004 debate

FACTCHECK.COM....Heh heh. This is pretty funny.

During the debate, Dick Cheney mentioned that you could go to factcheck.com to get the real scoop on Halliburton. What he meant was factcheck.org, a nonpartisan site run by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.

But if you click on http://factcheck.com as many people probably will, you get redirected to.....

Oh, just go ahead and do it. This is really too rich to give away.

if Cheney wasn't so computer illiterate he would have said: http://factcheck.org/
