SEE UNDER "QUOTATION OF THE DECADE?" FOR CHURCHILL'S DESCRIPTION OF ISLAM
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property‹either as a child, a wife, or a concubine‹must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science‹the science against which it had vainly struggled‹the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome." ~~ Sir Winston Churchill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could, and should, do for themselves. ~~ Abraham Lincoln ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Power and deceit are tools of statecraft, yes. But remember that power deludes the ones who wield it--making them believe it can overcome the defects of their ignorance. --Count Flambert Mutelli, early speech in Landsraad Hall of Oratory.

Sponsored by an Australian political party, Climate Sceptics [their spelling], this presentation contains absolutely vital information which you need to see. It displays graphs which explicitly and clearly contradict the false assertions of the plunderers and how much they are plotting to steal from Australians. The same logic applies to the Cap & Tax scheme proposed by Obamination.
I received a Powerpoint presentation by email. The Sceptics' web site offers the same information in a 4mb pdf file. We must strike while the iron is hot, while the Democrat Party machine is reeling from the effects of the special election in Massachusetts. Now is the time to tell your friends about the availability of free scientific information about the global warming issue.
This is a prime example of the information contained in the report. Notice the large area of divergence between CO2 producing fuel consumption and temperature.
The graph makes one fact obvious: global temperature is not a direct function of fossil fuel consumption. The graph below makes it clear that global temperature is not a direct function of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.
I want you to click this link to view the full report, then use the url included in the previous paragraph to share it with your legislators and friends. This may be our last best chance to stop the plundering of our economy, don't let it slip through your fingers.

The EPA is considering green house gas regulations that will cripple the economy and reduce the food supply. We have two choices.
Fight the proposed regulations before they are passed into law.
Rise up in rebellion; a second American Revolution.
Because I prefer the first choice, I visited the American Energy Alliance and sent an email to the EPA arguing against the Socialist idiocy.
EPA wants to increase the price of gasoline, electricity, and anything that uses oil, coal, or natural gas by regulating eighty-five percent of the energy we use in America. You only have until Friday to let EPA know that you think this plan should be stopped dead in its tracks—click here to send your message.
Here is the text of the stock message, which can be edited on the site.
I am writing in response to EPA’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding the regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. EPA should not find that greenhouse gases endanger human health and welfare and EPA should not use the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases. To quote EPA Administrator Johnson himself, the Clean Air Act “is ill-suited for the task of regulating global greenhouse gases.”
EPA Should Not Find that Greenhouse Gas Endanger Human Health and Welfare
The ANPR seems to presume that greenhouse gases harm human health and welfare. There is little evidence for this claim and historical data show the opposite. Over the past 100 years, as temperature and greenhouse gas concentrations have increased, global GDP has increased 18 fold, average life span has doubled, and per capita food supplies have increased even as global population has quadrupled. What is more, these increases in human welfare have been due to economic growth, which necessarily went hand in hand with greenhouse gas emissions. Had such emissions been capped in 1908, human health and welfare would certainly have suffered during the 20th century. EPA should examine actual historical data to put the model projections into their proper context.
EPA argues the Clean Air Act is precautionary in nature. This is true, but EPA should not regulate greenhouse gases without compelling information that they are causing harm to human health and welfare. This information does not exist today.
EPA should be very cautious about inflicting harm on the economy through increased regulation because, as Lutter, Viscusi, and Morrell argue in their 1999 paper, every additional $15 million in regulatory costs leads to an additional statistical death. This is because regulatory costs impose costs on society that reduce income and in turn reduce expenditures on health and safety.
The regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act would cost billions, if not trillions of dollars, and as Lutter, Viscusi, and Morrell point out, lead to great harm to human health and welfare.
There is Profound Scientific Uncertainty Concerning the Impact of Increasing Greenhouse Gases on Human Health and Welfare
The science of climate change is far more unsettled than EPA explains in the ANPR. EPA should fully examine the state of climate change science. Here are a few examples of issues EPA needs to address and understand before it can accurately state that greenhouse gases harm human health and welfare:
The leveling off of global temperature. Since 2001, there has not been a statistically significant increase in temperature, even as carbon dioxide levels increased by 4 percent during this period. This leveling-off of global temperatures was not predicted by the global climate models. It is true that the climate is a complex system with many cyclical variations, but each passing year with flat temperatures (in spite of rising greenhouse gas concentrations) renders the most alarming projections less and less credible.
Heat-related mortality. EPA argues that warmer temperatures will lead to greater heat-related mortality. While this makes intuitive sense, EPA should examine actual data on heat-related mortality. For example, in the United States heat-related morality has decreased even as temperatures increased from the 1970s through the 1990s. EPA fails to consider the countervailing economic and health-related improvements that have caused heat-related mortality to fall as temperatures have increased.
Worse air quality. EPA argues that "the IPCC projects with virtual certainty" that warming will lead to worse air quality. This is highly unlikely. Instead of relying on the IPCC’s projections on air quality, EPA needs to examine its own air trends website. The website states that, “National average air quality continues to improve as emissions decline through 2007.” These improvements have occurred in spite of increasing population growth, GDP, vehicle-miles traveled, temperature, and greenhouse gas concentrations. There is no reason to believe the air quality trends will reverse.
Sea level rise. There is nothing new about rising sea levels. Sea levels have been rising for the last 10,000 years—since the end of the last ice age. The real question is whether the rate of sea level rise is increasing. Recent papers by Holgate, Berge-Nguyen et al., and Unnikrishnan et al. all show no increase in the rate of sea level rise. If increased greenhouse gas levels were driving sea level rise, we should see an increase in the rate of sea level rise, but that has not happened.
A national solution will not solve a global issue. The Clean Air Act is not an appropriate way to regulate greenhouse gases because greenhouse gases are a global issue, not just an issue for the United States. We could reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to zero, but even this dramatic result would not have much of an impact on global temperatures in the long run. The vast majority of increases in greenhouse gas emissions come from the developing world, not the United States. National policies can give incentives for manufacturers to move their operations to unregulated regions, paradoxically leading to higher emissions to produce the goods in question.
EPA’s models should be open and transparent. EPA should not use closed-source models for critical projections and modeling. All the models EPA references should be available for public inspection and download. EPA should also detail all of the assumptions and documentation for the models. EPA should not hide key assumptions and projections from the public.
The ANPR has many legal problems. For example, EPA writes that it has the authority under the Clean Air Act to implement a cap-and-trade scheme for greenhouse gases. This claim is unlikely to pass muster with the courts. The DC Circuit, in the recent CAIR decision, ruled that EPA does not have the authority to implement cap-and-trade under the Clean Air Act.
Conclusion: These are just a few of the reasons EPA should not use the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases, nor should it make a finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. Although many climate scientists endorse man’s role in rising temperatures, there is no comparable consensus among economists, medical doctors, and other experts on the impacts such warming may have on human health and welfare. Indeed, poorly designed regulations could cause harms (in lost economic output) that far outweigh the modest benefits of lower greenhouse gas emissions.
President-elect Barack Obama has proposed many ideas on how to fix our energy and environmental problems. With economic ruin looming in front of us, an auto industry ready to collapse, banks failing, and a falling stock market, the last thing we need is to put strict limits on our economic growth.
Obama's plan asks for a reduction in greenhouse gasses by 80% by the year 2050. Asking the EPA to "implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
The Heritage Foundation reports:
“This intrusive regulation will cost the American economy nearly $7 trillion dollars in lost GDP in just 20 years, and result in massive job losses. Heritage’s respected Center for Data Analysis estimates non-farm employment losses will exceed 800,000 in some years, and manufacturing jobs will plummet. Some industries would lose over half of their jobs. Government permits would be needed to expand small businesses and build homes, hospitals and schools. To add insult to injury, foreign competitors will not have to abide by these regulations, leaving American businesses at a disadvantage."
Not only does the West and specifically the United States have to bear the brunt of this problem, but the greenhouse gas savings would do nothing to alleviate the problem since China and India produce more greenhouse gasses each day than we do in a month.
You can help. You can start by signing this petition. Stop the EPA! And get others to sign it too. Then get involved. Call or write your Representative or Senator. But don't sit idly by.
The debate is back on with dueling experts as the Physics and Society Forum unit within the American Physical Society (APS), which represents 50,000 physicists, now proclaim that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming.
The Physics and Society, one of 39 units of the American Physical Society will be sponsoring a public debate on the validity of global warming science. (Links to the first two papers below, one against the consensus and one for the consensus)
On the APS' Physics and Society Forum, which is only 1 of 39 units of the APS itself, has an editors note declaring that "There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for the global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution."
They go to say that because of the ramifications of any conclusions that are made will have "immense implications for public policy and for the future of the biosphere" they will be presenting a debate within the pages of Physics and Society concerning the conclusion.
The APS is opening its debate with the publication of a paper by Lord Monckton of Brenchley, which concludes that climate sensitivity -- the rate of temperature change a given amount of greenhouse gas will cause -- has been grossly overstated by IPCC modeling. A low sensitivity implies additional atmospheric CO2 will have little effect on global climate.
Larry Gould, Professor of Physics at the University of Hartford and Chairman of the New England Section of the APS, called Monckton's paper an "expose of the IPCC that details numerous exaggerations and "extensive errors"
Although this unit of the APS is arguing against the stated position of the APS itself, the APS has not changed their official position since November 2007, which is that global warming is from human activities, and they make it very clear that the Physics and Society paper is at odds with their official position and the newsletter is not a journal of the APS and it is not peer reviewed and that the Physics and Society forum is only one of 39 units within their organization.
In an email that Lord Monckton, who was the science adviser to Britain's Thatcher administration, sent to DailyTech, he says, "I was dismayed to discover that the IPCC's 2001 and 2007 reports did not devote chapters to the central 'climate sensitivity' question, and did not explain in proper, systematic detail the methods by which they evaluated it. When I began to investigate, it seemed that the IPCC was deliberately concealing and obscuring its method."
What this goes to show is that even physicist experts within the APS group, that has held and still holds, the official stance which says evidence of global warming is "incontrovertible", are still debating the issue despite that official stance.
What the Physics and Society Forum is doing is opening up the debate, publicly, that many have tried to declare as over.
The debate starts with Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley with the first article that argues against the correctness of the IPCC conclusion. In favor of the IPCC conclusion we have a jointly written article from David Hafemeister and Peter Schwartz from from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Scientists and experts from a variety of different fields are still arguing about this issue and with this new debate starting within the Physics and Society, the dueling experts are putting on their gloves, coming out of their corners and getting ready to rumble.

The issues are staggering, and while we might be compelled to believe that these things can never happen to America, read the following and see if you still feel, in today's devious world political climate that these evils cannot surmount our freedoms.
Barack Obama's Global Poverty Act will undoubtedly cost the U.S. billions in new monies for foreign aid, but that' not the most important issue.
All text in red and all bold text is Maggie's emphasis.
Is Senator Obama's Global Poverty Act (Senate Bill 2433) tied to the United Nations, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) or the U.N.'s Millennium Development Goal (MDG) in anyway?
Yes. S.2433, the language of the Bill says: "A bill to REQUIRE the President to develop and IMPLEMENT," "the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal." Senator Obama's S.2433 cannot be separated from the U.N. Millennium Development Goal.
Who implements S.2433 after the President "creates" a plan? The Secretary of State, Condoleesa Rice, her appointees with Congressional oversight by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the Senate Appropriations Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the House Appropriations Committee.
What do we know about the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)? Follow the links and be prepared for sudden nausea.
Does S.2433 require a specific strategy (some believe that it does not)? The Bill says that we [the U.S.] will IMPLEMENT the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal? Can it be any clearer?
Does The Global Poverty Act subjugate the United States to the will of the United Nations? Yes, and it does so through the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal. It is important to remember that the MDG is a U.N. program.
The following is the proof that the MDG is a "tax on the world" levied by the United Nations. The text addresses only the requirements to be placed upon the U.S. and other countries, it leaves out most of the goal of eradicating poverty and disease, and focuses on how that eradication will be accomplished. Text taken directly from the U.N. General Assembly Millennium Forum.
The Forum (urges, advocates, calls upon or insists):The United Nations To introduce binding codes of conduct for transnational companies and effective tax regulationon the international financial markets, investing this money in programmes for poverty eradication.
Here's a tax on international finances! Who are transnational companies?
To explore the feasibility of a legally binding convention on overcoming poverty, to be drafted in effective consultation and partnership with people living in poverty themselves.
To carry out the objective of moving towards the abolition of war by practical means, the United Nations Secretariat and interested Governments, or a separate group of Governments, should develop a draft proposal for global disarmament to be discussed in a fourth special session of the General Assembly on disarmament.
Someone, I think Orwell, said War is evil, but it is often the lesser evil. The U.N. plans for globalism, with the U.N. at the head of the snake, to abolish war. They think they are God.
To respect national sovereignty and the prohibition of the use of force, which are fundamental in the Charter of the United Nations. This principle must not be undermined. In the solution of conflicts, all peaceful methods in accordance with Chapter 6 of the Charter must be tried before measures of force are undertaken in accordance with Chapter 7. The General Assembly should set up a broad commission to analyse standards for forceful action in cases where crimes against humanity, war crimes or genocide are committed.
1) The U.N.'s "prohibition" of force is not to be undermined. 2) How does a global principle protect anyone's sovereignty? 3) "Peaceful method" means un-acted upon Resolutions - we have painful historical reminders. .
To expand the United Nations arms register in order to show the production and sale of small arms and light weapons. It should include specific names of their producers and traders.
Our Second Amendment rights monitored by the United Nations.
Together with nearly all Governments that participated in the recent Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference, Forum participants consider that unilateral deployment of nationwide missile defence by any country could have dangerously destabilizing effects and create pressures to permanently retain high levels of nuclear weapons or even to increase existing levels. The deployment of theatre missile defences in Asia or other regions could have serious regional destabilizing effects. Such plans should be relinquished in favour of a worldwide missile launch warning system and a conference to review methods of ending production of long-range surface-to-surface missiles and long-range bombers
To establish a commission at the United Nations to devise ways of stopping the technological development of new and more advanced weapons that create new imbalances in global power relationships. The Conference on Disarmament should also establish a working group on this subject.
1) No long-range bombers for the U.S. 2) No surface-to-surface missiles for the U.S. 3) No missile defense for the U.S. 4) No new technological development 5) No more power to protect our nation
To initiate a worldwide freeze on armed forces and a 25 per cent cut in production and export of major weapons and small arms, and to that end to adopt an international code of conduct on arms exports, as the beginning of worldwide build-down of conventional forces.
That's a "worldwide freeze" on armed forces - on our Marines, our Army, our Navy, our Reserves, our Coast Guard! AND an international "code of conduct" to implement a "build-down" of conventional forces.
To increase their efforts to promote and to comply with international humanitarian laws, limiting the methods and means of war and protecting non-combatants, civilian populations and humanitarian personnel.
The international community civil society, Governments and the United Nations has a responsibility to stop promptly any genocide, war crimes or any massive violations of human rights. All those involved should seek to avoid any confusion between humanitarian help and military intervention.
Internationalism governs. Sovereignty is abolished. The United Nations Security Council reigns. Islam is implemented throughout the world.
If you are not familiar with the U.N. Security Council, here are some informative links:
For everything you need on the U.N. Security Council go to: Eye on the UN and UN Watch.
Globalization needs defining....it is transforming our world into a global village...We, of all ages, in particular our future generation the youth claim a space for that transnational civil society that even now is rising on the world scene with unprecedented ties, networking, exchanges and common action among peoples, groups, communities and organizations.
The youth of the world will "claim a space" for "that transnational civil society" in the world's "global village..." Where might that "space" be? Do the people in that "space" have a say about the youth's claims? Again, for emphasis: a transnational civil society
To develop a legally binding framework for regulating the actions of transnational corporations (TNCs), respecting the international labour, human rights, and sustainable environmental standards set by the United Nations and its relevant specialized agencies. The regulatory mechanism should include the active participation of workers and communities directly affected by TNC operations in order to prevent abuses and to subordinate TNCs to democratic civil authority and community-based modelling of socio-economic systems.
As I look around the web, I find no list of the evil-doing transnational corporations. If the U.N. plans to "subordinate" the transnationals to "civil authority" and "community-based modelling," we need to know who the culprits are. Could Google be on the list? Nah. Halliburton? I think so. "Big Oil" - oh yeah, but only careful "subordination" here, because the world needs "Big Oil" tax money, as well as its investment in exploration and drilling. Oh...there's always "nationalizing" the world's oil fields. The Islamic countries know how to drill for oil. They rule the U.N. Very convenient - but this is only a guess.
To examine and regulate transnational corporations and the increasingly negative influence of their trade on the environment. The attempt by companies to patent life is ethically unacceptable.
What does this mean, and who is patenting the life of others?
To move towards democratic political control of the global economy so that it may serve our vision.
The vision: The U.N. controlling a global economy - to serve the U.N.'s vision
How is a democracy defined within the hallowed halls of the U.N.? You and I don't have a clue but we know such democracies will be "subordinated" to the U.N.'s "civil society"
To develop migration policies, both emigration and immigration, in conformity with human rights standards, particularly to respect the global principle of freedom of circulation for all.
This is terrifying, really. The goal is to remove the sovereignty of our borders. We need to get up each morning with the idea of the U.N.'s "global principle of freedom of circulation" vision, think about it again at noon, and let it be the last thing we think about before sleep, because surely we will offer up a prayer to the Almighty that our leaders will repel this disgusting organization.
To make serious commitments to restructure the global financial architecture based on principles of equity, transparency, accountability and democracy, and to balance, with the participation of civil society organizations, the monetary means to favour human endeavour and ecology, such as an alternative time-based currency.
Restructuring the global financial architecture? Alternative time-based currency?
Sustainable funds could be raised through a currency transfer tax,...which could also help to reduce currency speculation, and a tax on the rental value of land and natural resources.
Here's the tax on currency transfers and land. When has the MSM reported this. When has Barack Obama spoken of this?
Stop imposing economic sanctions, which deprive people of their basic economic, social and environmental rights and which make their struggle for survival, as well as for civil and political rights, more difficult.
We can make the case that sanctions are worthless, as it is the U.N. which strengthens them. Iraq and Saddam Hussein comes immediately to mind, especially the Oil-for-Food Program. Then and now, there's Iran. How does the U.N., always wanting diplomatic solutions to prevail, propose that we deal with tyranny ?
To fully incorporate women into leadership at every level and gender perspectives into all its operations; to hold Governments accountable for their obligations to promote and protect the human rights of women and girls; and to act as monitors of the implementation of commitments to end discrimination and violence against women and girls.
When it comes to Women's Rights, (or human rights for that matter) the worst offenders are Muslim countries. It's all is a matter of "degree," isn't it? I notice at the Millennium Development Goal monitoring sites, some Arab countries have shown some degree of improvement. What does that mean? How has it changed the life of women under the control of Islam and their Islamic male dominaters? The free world will finance achieving this goal? Think again.
To establish a global habitat conservation fund to purchase comprehensive protection of threatened, critical ecological habitat worldwide. The fund should accrue revenues from a nominal (0.5 -1.0 per cent) royalty on worldwide fossil energy production oil, natural gas, coal, collecting at least $5 billion to $10 billion annually.
Here's the tax on fossil fuels that is continually denied.
End of text from Millennium Forum.
A tax on fossil fuels, land, currencies, etc.? Investor's Business Daily didn't make it up, Lee Cary at American Thinker didn't make it up.
You can "monitor" the Millennium goals by country beginning here, although you won't learn much. Most of what we want and need to know falls into the "Insufficient Information" category.
I reject the U.N. and everything it stands for, because everything it stands for is against the best interests of Americans and freedom anywhere, and usually is intent on feathering the nests of a U.N. diplomat and a cozy relationship with the worst of the terrorizing scums on the face of the earth.
The usual RHINO's support this traitorous Bill: Susan Collins, Chuck Hagel, Richard Lugar, and Olympia Snowe. Gordon Smith (R-OR) is also a co-sponsor and I do not have much information on him. He's from Oregon, so...
There may be some truth in the global warming issue, but is it caused by man and is there actual scientific proof to back this claim up? Rather than go into a long winded article I submit the following links which explain it much better than I could.
Kudos to Noel Sheppard of NewsBusters for pointing out the discovery by ABC News that Al Gore’s pretended documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, contains fake footage from a work of fiction. Sheppard writes:
It goes without saying that climate realists around the world believe Nobel Laureate Al Gore used false information throughout his schlockumentary “An Inconvenient Truth” in order to generate global warming hysteria.
On Friday, it was revealed by ABC News that one of the famous shots of supposed Antarctic ice shelves in the film was actually a computer-generated image from the 2004 science fiction blockbuster “The Day After Tomorrow.”
Is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration filled with climate change deniers?
Such seems likely to be alleged by hysterical alarmists in the press when and if they read a new study out of NASA which determined that "not all the large changes seen in Arctic climate in recent years are a result of long-term trends associated with global warming."
"To the Leftinistra, everything is always the fault of something or someone else. Incredible. The Leftinistra rhetoric of the Global Warming Myth wrought upon the world is creating devastation across the globe driving prices higher and higher as the Leftinistra try to out-socialist each other. And now, it has created food shortages right here in the United States. Who will they blame for this?"
Is it just me or has the world suddenly gone crazier than usual? Just over the past week, week and a half, there have been some outlandish stories.
For example:
Dutch Catholics Label Lent the "Christian Ramadan" to Encourage Self Denial. This was found at the Catholic News Agency here. Personally, I find it highly offensive to pollute Catholicism with the barbaric beliefs of islam--a false religion and societal ideology based upon the hallucinations and machinations of a misogynistic pedophile. There are two quotes that speak to the appeasement of this murderous cult:
"The image of the Catholic Lent must be polished. The fact that we use a Muslim term is related to the fact that Ramadan is a better-known concept among young people than Lent," said Vastenaktie Director, Martin Van der Kuil, told the Daily Telegraph.
Van der Kuil believed the name change would highlight similarities between Christianity and Islam.
This guy needs to go back to school and study up on his faith--there is no similarity between Catholicism and islam. None.
Council officials in Leicestershire are looking into plans to switch off some street lighting overnight in a bid to cut costs and fight global warming.
and:
Rural villages have been suggested as possible locations to trial the authority's proposals.
and:
"It's an idea worth pursuing because we're all very keen to cut down on electricity usage nd carbon pollution.
I'm sure the criminals are salivating over all those dark areas to facilitate their crime.
Australian experts taking part in an international program to take a census of marine life in the ocean at the far south of the world collected specimens from up to 6,500 feet beneath the surface, and said many may never have been seen before.
Sounds reasonable so far...however, it quickly goes "south" (pun intended) with this:
The expedition is part of an ambitious international effort to map life forms in the Antarctic Ocean, also known as the Southern Ocean, and to study the impact of forces such as climate change on the undersea environment.
and wraps up with this:
Scientists are planning a follow-up expedition in 10 to 15 years to examine the effects of climate changes on the region's environment.
But its size - 10 pounds and 16 inches long - isn't the only curiosity. Researchers discovered the creature's bones in Madagascar. Yet it seems to be a close relative of normal-sized frogs who today live half a world away in South America, challenging assumptions about ancient geography.
There's more:
It seems to be a relative of South American horned frogs, known scientifically as Ceratophrys. Popular as pets, they're sometimes called pacman frogs for their huge mouths.
And, the wrap up:
The family link raises a paleontology puzzle: Standard theory for how the continents drifted apart show what is now Madagascar would have been long separated by ocean from South America during Beelzebufo's time. And frogs can't survive long in salt water, Krause noted.
He contends the giant frog provides evidence for competing theories that some bridge still connected the land masses that late in time, perhaps via an Antarctica that was much warmer than today. (Emphasis mine).
No, we're not finished with global warming yet!
I see over at Spree's Wake Up America an article titled "Can Someone Turn Up the Global Warming Please? I'm Freezing Over Here!". This article is chock full of links regarding the false global warming nonsense and how it's being used to fleece the world. We see in her article (Actually, I think HCDL wrote this article--yep a double check shows he did) Jerusalem has snow, the ice sheets have nearlly recovered from their mini-melt that led to such dire predictions, record cold in Asia--in short, an extremely cold winter considering the world is in the middle of a man-made global warming, climate change disaster. Here's a few teasers from his article:
Scare mongering appears to be the case, according to reports from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that reveal that almost all the allegedly “lost” ice has come back. A NOAA report shows that ice levels which had shrunk from 5 million square miles in January 2007 to just 1.5 million square miles in October, are almost back to their original levels.
Moreover, a Feb. 18 report in the London Daily Express showed that there is nearly a third more ice in Antarctica than usual, challenging the global warming crusaders and buttressing arguments of skeptics who deny that the world is undergoing global warming.
and:
Did anyone hear that it's snowing in Jerusalem today, by the way? Not a very interesting news story, unless you factor in the fact that snow is a VERY unusual thing for the area. Five centimeters of snow were recorded in Jerusalem this morning, after a rare second cold front in less than a month's time came through the region, covering not only Jerusalem but the West Bank towns of Bethlehem and Hebron, while the Gaza Strip was covered by heavy rains.
Global warming causes snow in Israel? How very interesting indeed. What else is going on in the world in regards to rising temperatures?
What other insanity? Well, we have Michelle Obama who, while wanting to be First Lady, has decided to follow in the footsteps of the trailer trash First Ladies such as Hillary (not the upper crust First Ladies with CLASS) by showing her true colors as to her feelings about America and how, at age 44, after a privileged life, Ivy League schools, nice home and family, she is only NOW proud of her country. Forget her color--or don't--but don't forget those blacks who came before who paved the way for her to get the education she received and all the accomplishments of Americans AND THIS GREAT COUNTRY in our history. It might have been understandable if 1) she was extremely tired and not paying attention to what she was saying; 2) just didn't think before opening her trap and inserting her foot and 3) she only said it once. HOWEVER--she said it TWICE. She needs better speechwriters. Better yet, she needs to shut up and sit down. If she wants to be a REAL First Lady instead of a trailer trash, big mouth wanna-be, she needs to shut up. Let her husband run his own damned campaign. Or is this their signal of another two-fer presidency? God help us.
Finally, the debacle in Berkley keeps getting better. I've seen this on a couple of blogs, a few emails and heard this on some talk radio shows. It seems the police in Berkley don't understand what "Protect and Serve" means. It seems several of the Code Pink whackos decided to cross the boundary lines into the Move America Forward boundaries. It also seems Code Pink whackos decided to physically assault some of the Move America Forward contingent. What do you expect from traitors, though? Our Move America Forward patriots stood firm and didn't degenerate into the violence Code Pink so obviously wanted. HOWEVER...oh you're going to love this boys and girls...THE POLICE STOOD BY WHILE THESE ASSAULTS WERE TAKING PLACE AND THEN PLACED THE MOVE AMERICA FORWARD PEOPLE UNDER ARREST--RATHER THAN THE CODE PINK ASSAULTERS. For a full description of what happened that day, go visit Move America Forward here. Personally, I'd be advising those assaulted to begin legal proceedings against the City of Berkley and the Berkley Police Department for dereliction of duty, false arrest, etc.
These are just some of the highlights of craziness...I'm sure if I wasn't so tired I'd be able to find many more examples of hypocrisy, greed, 180 degree turns and more evidence Berkley needs to be surrounded by a 15 foot high spiked fence with no entrance or exits for the animals in that zoo. Go click the links and be entertained!

Like most people my age (46), we grew up in an era when there was no cable TV and cartoons were the staple of Saturday mornings. These were the cartoons of a bygone age, Looney Tunes, Hannah-Barbera, Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo, the Jetsons, etc.
Commercials were for the latest sugar laden cereal (when do you think Count Chocula, BooBerry and FrankenBerry, not to mention Cap'n Crunch, etc. got their start?) or the coolest new toy, often an upgrade for Barbie and Friends or the latest "Talking" doll for girls or the Hot Wheels racetracks with "loop the loop action" for boys.
Fast forward to today.
One channel (ABC) is an extension of Disney's latest political correctness crap, with the usual nonsense of kids outsmarting adults all the time (indicating Disney's real feelings toward adults)--shows such as "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody", "Hannah Montana", etc. Keep in mind Disney is also ultimately responsible for foisting such train wrecks as Brittney and Jamie Spears upon us, in direct contrast to the formerly wholesome kids Disney used to launch.
Several channels run 1/2 hour long "ads" for the EPA and "Green" Party, disguised as "cartoons" (one even had an episode today about humans saving dinosaurs from being hunted to extinction).
No more escapism fun.
But--it gets even better. The Global Warming hysteria has reached new lows with an ad that debuted in March, 2006 and which gained prominence in conjunction with CBS' propaganda realism show, "Kid Nation".
Global Warming.It may seem like an impossible problem: The Arctic ice is melting, storms are becoming fiercer, the resulting climate change is upsetting invaluable ecosystems, and the pollution is damaging our health.
But there is still time.Reversing the trend of global warming trend is possible and depends not only on the efforts of environmental scientists and researchers, governments of all nations, and leaders of business and industry, but just as importantly, it depends on the daily habits of regular people.
It is these regular people that this campaign hopes to inspire. The PSAs take a powerful, emotional approach to reach Americans with the message that global warming is an urgent problem that requires their immediate action.
The PSAs drive audiences to the website www.fightglobalwarming.com. The site provides information on the the causes, science, and consequences of global warming. A large part of the site focuses on what every person can do to reduce their energy consumption and therefore do their part to help slow and reverse global warming.
The campaign launched in March 2006.
Here's the ad:
Tick
Can we please, PLEASE have a reality check here? We have a whole generation being indoctrinated to the Global Warning agenda without any facts being given to them. And propaganda it indeed is.
Does anyone know how to do ANY research for themselves any more? Or is this entire generation further proof of the sheeple in Congress, offspring of the those infected with the disease called "Liberalism"? Are they that anxious to throw their money after lies--and the high priest of the global warming liars, the Goracle himself?
Wake UP people--this is nothing but sham snake oil, smoke and mirrors masquerading as real science. And you liberal sheeple are total idiots, throwing your money after those hypocrites profiting from it, begging them to take your money and walk all over you.
Are you so desperate you actually want a nanny-state? Like the laws being proposed in California where the GOVERNMENT controls your thermostat by remote control or what activity you can or can't engage in while in your own home (dammit, if I want to SMOKE in my house, who is the government to tell me I can't? If I want FRIED onion rings who is the government to tell me I can't have them? Who is the government to tell me what kind of condoms to use based on their "Green" rating?)?
You liberals dare, DARE to accuse conservatives of being Orwellian, but here's a newsflash for you: it's NOT conservatives proposing this idiocy and it's NOT conservatives buying into the hype. It's NOT conservatives telling you how to live your lives.
It's liberals--and, as Michael Savage says, "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder".
How true. Too bad liberals are too stupid following their fellow sheeple over the cliff and saying "control us, control us" to the government to realize their own stupidity and mental illness.
Get help, people. Really--you need it desperately.
I about spewed perfectly good coffee upon my screen when this popped up into the Reader.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) slammed the Bush administration on Wednesday for its reluctance to take bold action on climate change, but the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee added that the White House does not represent the view of the American people on the issue.
Kerry, who just returned from the climate negotiations in Bali, Indonesia, at which he represented Congress, criticized the Bush administration for standing in the way of a stronger agreement on the issue. The senator stated, however, that the opportunities of this White House to stand in the way of action are dwindling.
"The world needs to know: This White House doesn't represent the American people today, and it cannot represent America's policy beyond January 2009," Kerry said, pointing to state and local efforts to address climate change.
"The reality is, the Bush White House is increasingly irrelevant to any future agreement," the senator added in a speech at the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
Kerry said that, despite the administration's efforts, the so-called "Bali roadmap" makes progress on the issue. [...]
I guess this is one more prime example of the insignificance of this dunce...the once upon a time Presidential Aspirant. Thank God he lost. Pot? Meet Kettle. Moron.
The Myth of Global Warming and the promoters of that Myth are the insignificant ones and the irrelevant ones.
Get over it. We have articles here and here revealing the Myth of Global Warming. Kerry is merely falling for a chance to Bash Bush due to the lethality of BDS.Sphere: Related Content
It seems as though the Leftinistra, in their haste to make waste of our young, have convinced them that the Global Warming Myth is in actuality truth. Yesterday, a teenager was so emotional over the threat of the Goracle's buffoonery, she broke down in tears. Follow the links and one will see what the morons at Crooks and Liars cannot. The Grovel (Gavel) is hawking the GW Myth all in the name of political gain...par for the worse SOH in history while Ian Schwartz has the "right" perspective. Naturally, seeing that El Rushbo thoroughly trounced the Leftinistra in recent weeks, their agenda now is to seek out and "get even". Little do they know, their insignificant little egos are"Rather", well, insignificant. The idiots at Crooks and Liars are making the lame assertions that El Rushbo was "laughing at" the poor deluded and fooled child. Like I said, follow the links and if you have approximately 1 nano-gram of brain matter, you will see what the Leftinistra will not. They make this all too easy. Keep it up. We love the humor in your insignificance. Catch the wave.
And that, in a nutshell, is the truth behind the idiocy of the global warming hysteria. No one denies there's a very minisicule amount of climate change going on--but the rampant hysteria is simply that--hysteria.
The planet has been going through changes since time immemorial and the planet will continue to do so until it ends--the arrogance of the crazies thinking they can make any sort of impact upon it, pro or con, is simply staggering.

Algore: We Have Ten Years Left Before Earth Cooks (requires El Rushbo 24/7 member access) 1/27/06
RUSH: Try this one from yesterday's stack. I don't know if you people know this or not, but Al Gore has been out at the Sundance Film Festival out there in Park City, Utah. This is one of Robert Redford's big do's, and apparently Al Gore is working on a movie that -- what is the name of this movie? Oh, that's right, "An Inconvenient Truth," and the movie will document his efforts to raise alarm on the effects of global warming, and so he brought Tipper and the kids out there.
Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about "ten years" it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we've got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching. Okay, we're going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just... You have to love these people -- from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.
Global Warming. The Myth. The Man. The Double Standard Twit that eats more food in a day than a starving kid in Ethiopia will eat in its lifetime.
Global Warming. The Myth. The Man. The Double Standard Twit the would be President.
Global Warming. The Myth. The Man. The Double Standard Twit whose Global Global Warming Concerts were the very epitome of Double Standards and were quite the flop. Global Warming. The Myth. The Man. The Double Standard Twit whose movie entitled An Inconvenient Truth is actually a convenient lie.
The decision by the government to distribute Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth has been the subject of a legal action by New Party member Stewart Dimmock. Although a full ruling has yet to be given, the Court found that the film was misleading in 11 respects and that the Guidance Notes drafted by the Education Secretary’s advisors served only to exacerbate the political propaganda in the film.
In order for the film to be shown, the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children.
The inaccuracies are:
The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming.
The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct.
The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years.
The Court found that the film was misleading: over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years.
The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming.
The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming.
The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming.
The Government’s expert had to accept that this was not the case.
The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice.
It turned out that Mr Gore had misread the study: in fact four polar bears drowned and this was because of a particularly violent storm.
The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream throwing Europe into an ice age; the Claimant’s evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility.
The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching.
The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim.
The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt causing sea levels to rise dangerously.
The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia.
The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting; the evidence was that it is in fact increasing.
The film suggests that sea levels could rise by 7m causing the displacement of millions of people.
In fact the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40cm over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration.
The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand.
The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.
“It seems scientists have noticed recently that quite a few planets in our solar system seem to be heating up a bit, including Pluto. This has led some people, not necessarily scientists*, to wonder if Mars and Jupiter, non-signatories to the Kyoto Treaty, are actually inhabited by alien SUV-driving industrialists who run their air-conditioning at 60 degrees and refuse to recycle.” Sphere: Related Content
You know I never heard of "carbon footprint" until "BIG AL" either invented it or discovered it.
Well...I had to put it aside for awhile and think about it.
Oh...I thought about Mount St. Helen and all that "carbon" she spewed forth from the bowels of the earth.
And, Oh...what ever happened to all that carbon anyway...huh? What happened to it? It was so natural..."whatin it"?
And...I still contemplate it each night before I go to bed. For, you see, each night before going to bed, I go out by the pool and look at the stars; the falling stars that is!
Well ya'all see, I mus be a gettin dummer... I was always believun ma school mom (great teacha she was!) when she told us uns about dem der 'fallin starrs'.
Mrs. Sledge, dats ma school mom, she says dem der are not starrs, dem just rocks or what day call 'meter-oar-rights' and dem rocks are a going so damn fast day just burn up...crazy huh, dem rocks burning!
We'll ma friend Bubba asks Mrs Sledge, "What happen to dem rocks wen day burn up?
Mrs. Sledge says, "All them rocks just burn up and turn into a basic substance called 'carbon'."
And I asks, "What happin to all dat der carbon?"
"Well," she replies, "I think it just deposits one big 'carbon footprint'."
If you agree with my 'carbon footprint' story, pass it on

Winston Churchill Quotes
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.

Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.
Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
I always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.
I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
I like a man who grins when he fights.
I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time-a tremendous whack.
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
It is no use saying, 'We are doing our best.' You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary.
Moral of the Work. In war: resolution. In defeat: defiance. In victory: magnanimity. In peace: goodwill.
Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
Never, never, never give up.
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism.
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
The first quality that is needed is audacity.
The nose of the bulldog has been slanted backwards so that he can breathe without letting go.
The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.
These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our country has ever lived.
They are decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all-powerful to be impotent.
True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information.
Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.
War is mainly a catalogue of blunders.
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.
When the eagles are silent the parrots begin to jabber.
When you are winning a war almost everything that happens can be claimed to be right and wise.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
