Bill Nye takes on Marc Morano

Posted By Dave Snope
I watched that live. Bill Nye was sad. He reminded me of a middle-school 'science' teacher that uses pictures to help kids feel things about nature. The first thing he said was that the Medeival Warming Period happened only in Europe. Like he hasn't seen any scientific papers since the 1990's. If ever. And he went downhill from there, regurgitating legends and wive's tales. "We’re not talking about the temperature" he said. Ooookaaay, Mr. Bill.

Of course Piers Morgan acted like a pre=teen, closing with his last word about it being 60 degrees in DC that day or something, and that sure is weeeird. As if that means something important about global climate. We could have gotten that wisdom from a sterno-addled homeless man laying in an alley.

Yay, science! On CNN!

Legalized Weed and driving

True.

In the mean time, the Obama admin continues cracking down on California medical marijuana collectives and the commercial property owners who rent space to them.

I like Seattle PD's statement. They have a sense of humor:
On the city's police website, spokesman Jonah Spangenthal-Lee said: "The department's going to give you a generous grace period to help you adjust to this brave, new, and maybe kinda stoned world we live in."

"The police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a Lord of the Rings marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to."

How can you get an invitation to this WH?

PSY is a perfect product of an American liberal arts college.

I'll bet PSY will get a personal handwritten note from the prez if a tragedy befalls his family. Unlike a Navy SEAL.

GW Hits Utah Hard

Posted By Dave Snope
With global warming predicted to raise winter temperatures 4 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit this century,

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

"I hope this report drives radical change," he added, ... "to drive critical policy change so we can ski for the next 100 years."

HOOOOOHHOHOHOHOHO! WE CAN CHANGE THE WEATHER.

This newspaper brought to you gullible readers by an industry trade association writing PR paragraphs for a lazy reporter needing something by the deadline.

I didn't see those turkeys complaining in 2009 when they had 696 inches. Or 701 inches in 2007. Oh noooo, we'll never see snow again. Send us money.

What they should do (since all skiers are rich) is to assess a $199 global warming tax on to lift tickets. Because the rich need to pay their fair share so that they can go play in the snow. And fireplaces at are banned in all of Utah. No returning carbon from wood back to the air that it came from. See how that goes over.

What should we say to people in North Carolina who are having their 3rd coldest winter since records began in 1890? That we have to make it colder and you have to freeze your bums off so John Kerry can spend more time at his lodge in Aspen?

Kyoto Protocol Extended

Posted By Dave Snope
Are you obsessing over me now, Rod? Isn't that special.

How come our own Dear Leader didn't sign that protocol? He said that he would stop the rising oceans. What, he didn't want us to have to pay as required every time a storm hit one of those other nations that signed it?

U.N. says atheists suffer persecution/discriminati

Posted By Dave Snope
Like you said, Muslim countries persecute all non-muslims.

I was surprised to hear that seven states have anti-atheist laws. Is it that hard to delete an old law?

JP Morgan CEO: Economy To Soar

Posted By Dave Snope
Solved??? What the heck does that mean? Raise taxes to cover 8 days of government deficit spending? That's what the dems are proposing as the "solution" in Big Rock Candy Mountain.

JP Morgan just wants you to feel good about buying stocks. Jump right in, trust the politicians to balance the budget or something. And do more money printing, lots of it. Yeah, that's the ticket:

JPMorgan receives a government subsidy worth about $14 billion a year, according to research published by the International Monetary Fundand our own analysis of bank balance sheets. The money helps the bank pay big salaries and bonuses. More important, it distorts markets, fueling crises such as the recent subprime-lending disaster and the sovereign-debt debacle that is now threatening to destroy the euro and sink the global economy.

Man vs. Machine, the HFT markets

Margins are slim. I made $102.00 today. Before taxes. At this rate it's going to take a looong time to earn enough for that new car for my wife.

Americans and the End of Times

Are we ignorant or what?

Yup. Severe weather in the U.S. is at an all time low. It's hard to blame people who get their info from the sensationalistic media and politicians, but have they no memories of years when 4 or 5 hurricanes would hit the country, or bad tornado seasons when dozens towns got hit, or prior droughts, or big wildfires? I sure do.

We're living in good times. We should enjoy it!

The most active period for major hurricanes in the US was 1931-1960. The frequency of major hurricanes is now about half what it was 60 years ago. The most intense hurricane to ever hit the US occurred in 1935.

The number of F3-F5 tornadoes has been trending steadily down since 1960.

Of the 25 deadliest tornadoes in U.S history, only one has occured in the last 50 years.

The Palmer Drought Severity Index globally over the past 60 years they show little change in drought.
