As I type this, at 10pm eastern in mid-Florida, there is a glaze of ice on my mailbox. It was in the 40's all day today and is now in the low 30's.
Those who fight the good fight against the AGW hysteria point to the record cold weather right now and go "See, we told you! Look how cold it is! It's global cooling not warming!" and so on as they try to point out the disconnect between what shrieking hysterics like Al Gore and the talking head media tell us and what we see and measure in the real world.
But it isn't the cooling per se, that is the real point here. It is the fact that the hysteric's computer models are wrong! They have always been wrong! They have predicted mild winters and we have record freezes. They predict increases in the number and intensity of hurricanes and we get neither. They predict rising oceans and melting ice caps and we get restored ice and no change in global sea levels.
The e-mail dump from East Anglia has shown the true face of the global warming conspiracy. Scientists have altered data and continually refined computer models to force them to prove what they want them to prove. Starting with a false premise, inaccurate data, and corrupted computer codes, the AGW hysterics end up with useless models that cannot accurately predict future weather changes.
The claims of Al Gore, and the useful idiots of the media and internet are worthless. Despite their best efforts, nothing they claim can be proven either through science or observation. And that is importance of the cold weather we are witnessing right now.
The
St. Pete Times actually is a good paper. Well run, nicely laid out, good sports section, good comics, excellent local, national, and global coverage. But . . .
. . . the relentless parroting of the liberal/socialist talking points in every section of the paper is infuriating! Even the sports section gets into political commentary whenever possible. sheesh
And of course, the editorial page makes my lunch go down in lumps. I think everything on those pages comes directly from George Soros and Media Matters, Talking Points Memo, and the Huffington Post. It's a liberal's wet dream there.
And the letters to the editor section is priceless. Either they cherry pick the most glaring cases of coolaid drunken, cow eyed lemming liberal sycophant letter writers, or the country's in a lot worse shape than I thought it was.
In today's letters we get a winner from Chrystal H. of Brandon, who is grousing about the health care bill. She believes that health care
"...should be a right in this country..." Then she goes on to say that the so-called "Cadillac Plan" or "Gold Plated Benefits Package" is
"...the kind of health coverage that every American deserves."
In her letter she says that these plans can be funded by recinding the Bush tax cuts that
...have disproportionately benefitted the richest 5 percent of Americans."
Hmmmm . . . disproportionate, eh? I wonder if Chrystal knows that those richest 5% of the country pay 95% of all taxes collected? Doesn't that sound disproportionate to you? It does to me. And health care as a civil right?
Hmmmm . . . yeah, I'm sure the right to free medical is what the founding fathers, Dr. King, and others were worried about as they fought for citizens civil rights.
How about my right not to pay for your abortion Chrystal? How about my right not to pay for your birth control? Your weight loss surgery? How about the right of senior citizens not to lose their Medicare to pay for you and your doctor visits? Think about it Chrystal.
Another beauty comes from Frank J. of St. Pete who is lamenting Charlie Crist's falling poll numbers. He writes
"Isn't it time we saw a Republican who can speak for himself and not repeat the party line like the rest of the parrots?"
Wow, Frank . . . can you name one Democrat who doesn't parrot the Dem's talking points? I didn't think so.
He goes on to whine about
"...crooked bankers...corrupt Wall Street brokers..." and wants to know where the oversight was for eight years. I'm assuming this is a pointing at Bush here.
Hey Frank, know who's in charge of banking oversight in this country? A Democrat -- Chris Dodd. Know who's in charge of the federal mortgage giants that have caused the sub-prime meltdown? A Democrat -- Barney Frank. Know what party's been in charge of Congress for the last two years as we've sunk into a recession? The Democrats.
Hey Frank, know who went before Congress 15 times to try and reign in Fannie and Freddy? George Bush. Know who submitted a bill to halt the sub-prime explosion and try and head off the coming collapse? John McCain.
Hey Frank, you like Charlie because he supports
"...our duly elected president." You know who didn't support our last duly elected president? The Democrats, the media, the entertainment industry, . . .
Kristy Swanson, the original Buffy, turned fourty recently. And it's hard to see how badly she's aged. The pics below are from early in the last decade. Kristy was in
Playboy in 2002 looking totally hot. But somewhere along the way she fell apart physically. Gained a lot of weight, which of course led to fewer job opportunities. It broke my heart to see her in an episode of
L&O Criminal Intent playing an Anna Nicole Smith look-a-like. She did an excellent job, she is a good actress, but she looked so different that I was stunned to see her name pop up in the credits.
She is still lovely, but a shadow of her former self. Fourty isn't that old. I don't know if she wants to, but it is not out of the question for her to regain some, if not most, of her youthful appearance.
