In the wake of the Don Imus incident, MSNBC and CBS Radio are limited to reporting the first name only of the famous Hawaiian balladeer who was an island mainstay for over 40 years.

Family members found it ironic that their surname was added to the list of words ‘you can’t say on the radio’
only days before Mr.H-’s death, but did not blame the two networks for the death of the singer.

In other news, The Peoples Republic of Viet Nam has chosen to rename its capital, Pimp Chi Minh City.

Thank you for writing that. I have held a similar view of true liberal idealists for a while now.

True liberal idealists are difficult to find these days since the liberals that we actually SEE are the ones with a political agenda bent on the destruction of the world’s last best hope of personal liberty.

Some generic ‘butt kissing’, lib Senator: “Mr. Gore, Do you wish to amend your testimony before this august body?”

Al “Pants on Fire” Gore: “Yes, a few words after, [”The planet has a feeeeeeee-ver—-”

Please add, “which has now turned into the flu, and now the planet has aches, chills, and a runny nose!”

Some generic ‘butt kissing’, lib Senator: “Very well put Professor Gore!”

Coincidentally, although I’ve read many excerpts through the years, I recently started doing just that…from the beginning. Some of the rituals required of the early Israelites are kind of weird. And messy, too…

Say what you will about his many failings-and they were many, not the least of which was his mental instability-he was a great writer. “Slaughterhouse Five” was and is a great American novel. It is a standard in High School literature classes and, I might add, college literature classes.

When I saw this post, I thought Scott would play on the “unstuck in time” theme and was a bit disappointed.

I wonder if he understands that warming would be preferable to cooling because at least with warm temperatures we can actually produce more food and people in the polar regions would live the life of Riley (notice not O’Reilly).

It also reminds me of all of the scare tactics used in the 70’s regarding population and animal extinction. I was scared to death that animal species would become extinct and THEN where would we be? It never dawned on my skull full of mush that the Dodo bird had been extinct since the 1800’s and mankind had survived. It never crossed my mind that the dinosaurs were extinct and mankind had flourished. Don’t you just love the “sky is falling!” mentality and how we react before we think???

This whole weather thing is pretty eerie. I think we all remember after the 2005 hurricane season how all the Global Warming cult members were marching around in their sandwich boards screaming at the top of their lungs how hurricane seasons are only going to get worse and worse and worse because average temperatures have risen 1.5 degrees in one century. And then right on cue not a single hurricane hit America in 2006 after there were predictions of at least eight category three or above hurricanes hitting the Gulf Coast and the Eastern Seaboard! Buwahahahaha. It has to be divine intervention!

And now this incredible string of freezing temperatures in April. Sure we often got the occasional snow or a couple of below freezing days in April in years past, but not ten freakin’ days in a row! And snow in Oklahomer in April? Yowza!

Of course the true believers will say this is all predicted in their Global Warming Global Climate Change model! Which goes to prove its all a bunch of hogwash because their GW theory can’t possibly be falsifiable since it can be tweaked to account for anything … including meteor strikes I suppose!

BTW, on another blogsite camojack posted this impressive CO2 study which drives a stake right into one of the cherished dogmas of Global Warmism.
