Weekend open thread

Got some Christmas shopping to do, and some housecleaning to take care of (“woman’s work” is never done ). Catch y’all later.

Meanwhile, did you hear that global warming invaded Houston this week?

   Doesn’t the goracle have a speech there sometime soon? It would only be fitting…

   Here’s a classic from our old pal Ed Schultz:

   Post-Party Crashers, Ed Schultz Wants Secret Service to ‘Pledge Allegiance’ to Obama

   SCHULTZ: But I think this president deserves more. I think he deserves the absolute best around him. He doesn’t deserve a cheaper cut or any less of an attitude and I would even go so far as to think it might not be bad to have politically like-minded people around the president in the Secret Service who would pledge allegiance to make sure that you go beyond the profession of a security that, you know, hey, that’s my guy! That’s my guy!

   First of all Ed, the Secret Service does it’s job no matter WHO is in the White House, get it? Implying that they don’t is pretty ignorant. Perhaps you could get your sweaty, fat a** down there and show them how they should do their job, since you’re such an expert.

   Secondly, it’s gonna be hard to surround Obama with “like minded” Secret Service agents. I’m comfortably certain there aren’t many pro-communist, race card playing, inexperienced boobs who are wrecking the country. Just sayin’…………

   WOW NC didn’t Hitler want the exact same thing??

   I am waiting for the Secret Service to drop the dime on who gave permission to the two party crashers. These two have friends in this administration, and I am pretty certain that one of those friends ok’d them being there and the Secret Service is getting kicked under Obama’s big bus. – Lorica

   I find it odd that no one is talking about How early it is in the winter season for Texas to be getting snowed on. Here in western Illinois haven’t really had any snow, but yet Texas is?? Did global warming miss something or is all weather rather a fluke that no man can predict or control?? – Lorica

   Interesting editorial.

   The Fiction Of Climate Science

   Gary Sutton, 12.04.09, 10:00 AM ET

   Many of you are too young to remember, but in 1975 our government pushed “the coming ice age.”

   Random House dutifully printed “THE WEATHER CONSPIRACY … coming of the New Ice Age.” This may be the only book ever written by 18 authors. All 18 lived just a short sled ride from Washington, D.C. Newsweek fell in line and did a cover issue warning us of global cooling on April 28, 1975. And The New York Times, Aug. 14, 1976, reported “many signs that Earth may be headed for another ice age.”

   OK, you say, that’s media. But what did our rational scientists say?

   In 1974, the National Science Board announced: “During the last 20 to 30 years, world temperature has fallen, irregularly at first but more sharply over the last decade. Judging from the record of the past interglacial ages, the present time of high temperatures should be drawing to an end…leading into the next ice age.”

   You can’t blame these scientists for sucking up to the fed’s mantra du jour. Scientists live off grants. Remember how Galileo recanted his preaching about the earth revolving around the sun? He, of course, was about to be barbecued by his leaders. Today’s scientists merely lose their cash flow. Threats work.

   In 2002 I stood in a room of the Smithsonian. One entire wall charted the cooling of our globe over the last 60 million years. This was no straight line. The curve had two steep dips followed by leveling. There were no significant warming periods. Smithsonian scientists inscribed it across some 20 feet of plaster, with timelines.

   Yup, I go my nine inches of global warming and a fallen tree in the driveway from all the wet frozen stuff that the global climate change can provide.

   I, too, remember the coming ice age business back in high school, and I have to say I was young and naive and that really scared me. The fact that the Smithsonian has archives to attest to the fact that Professor Mann’s hockey stick is bunk is quite interesting….maybe the MSM should do a little research…

   Research into what? They just say that the cooling temperatures are proof of global warming.

   Kinda like Geithner’s not paying taxes is proof of his studious patriotism and rampant desire to be fair to all his fellow citizens.
