Global Warming May Require Higher Hip Waders

. . . Because The B.S. Is Getting Spread Pretty Deep!

In light of the fact that the planet has been cooling off for more than a decade now, and due probably in no small part to the President's BFF's being discovered as complete frauds who MAKE UP the "Earth Has A Fever" type data, I have noticed a lot more "Nyuh-uh!" type rebuttals to the glowbull wormening skeptics out there.

The icing on the cake for today was this one: Yahoo! News took an AP feed (but we can't quote AP, now can we?) and came up with this winner of an opening paragraph in an article titled "Global warming may require higher dams, stilts"

With the world losing the battle against global warming so far, experts are warning that humans need to follow nature's example: Adapt or die.

That means elevating buildings, making taller and stronger dams and seawalls, rerouting water systems, restricting certain developments, changing farming practices and ultimately moving people, plants and animals out of harm's way.

The emphasis is mine. Note well: we lead with a lie, and then say it is for your own good that we must restrict your activities to suit our approval.

It's about controlling you. It's not about the environment.

Dr. Zamboni Cures Multiple Sclerosis?

MS sufferers, don't kick the bucket just yet. Coming soon to a hospital near you whenever the medical establishment gets around to accepting it, is a potential complete cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

Italian Dr. Paolo Zamboni's wife came down with MS and he started doing some motivated research. He found an excess of iron could be a cause for the disease, and his wife had excess iron in the blood vessels in her head. Nobody, apparently, has made this Fe/MS link in modern days, so he got to invent the name Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency, or CCSVI, for his wife's problem. It's a fairly standard operation to open up blood vessels to clear a blockage, and the result is a removal of the excess iron. She seems to be cured.

He had a few dozen other MS patients go through this procedure and 73% of them are acting an awful lot like people without MS.

Cured.

In a DAY.

Just wow.

Chris Matthews Is An Ass.

"A strange venue?" "The enemy camp?"

Chris Matthews uses these words to describe The West Point Military Academy, where the President went to announce plans for the WAR we are currently fighting. I wasn't going to comment, but I heard it for the 5th time today and it's pissing me off more and more each time.

DUH? The commander in chief addresses his men about the war they will be fighting, and it's a strange venue? THEY are the enemy?!!!?!?

The analogy was VERY bad. An apology is in order from Matthews. Good luck. Hold your breath, waiting for that one.

I hear the speech sucked, by the way. He pre-empted the Charlie Brown Christmas Special to read the teleprompter for an hour for a poor speech, the text of which was leaked beforehand, and in place of which a press release could well have served. Thanks, Mr. President.

Thrashing . . . (Death Throes?)

Is it a sign of Good Times to come, when you are on your third CEO in 9 months?

I don't know, why don't you go ask GM!

OUR RESOLVE IS UNSHAKEABLE!

(but we'll be leaving in 18 months)

Imagine you're an A-stani. The local Taliban comes around and makes you an offer it doesn't look like you can refuse:

You work with us and stop helping the A-cans, or else, when THEY LEAVE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE your whole family is dog meat.

WHY would you give your enemy a schedule? Because
a) you aren't interested in victory
b) you do have an election that year, after all!
c) you don't really think we're at war anyhow
d) you're an ass
e) all of the above

hint: the answer is e)

Leftists say: Too Hard!
Hawks say: Too Soft!
Middleists say: Why are we there, again?
Gallup poll respondents say: 35% approval of Afghanistan war action!!!

The fun part is, the word on the news wire is that if it doesn't look like we are going to be able to turn A-stan over to the locals, we'll stay and keep trying.

If you voted for Obama: was the Change You Can Believe In supposed to be doing the same thing in Afghanistan that Bush did in Iraq? Hmmmm? Maybe he'll live up to his word if we elect him for a second term!

Serape 1, Cat 0

It's chilly boogers here this morning, so I was wearing a serape at the house, about to leave for work. VFDKitty saw me wearing a big stripey blanket as she sat on top of her cat-scratch post and freaked a little bit, but kept her seat.

This cat scratch post has at least 3 square feet of base/foot to stabilize a 4x4 post with about 2 square feet on top where she will lie down. This thing is stable and massive enough for #2 and #1 to climb and sit on it.

I saw that VFDKitty didn't like the serape and so I slowed down, walking by her post. I spread the blanket out to a big rectangle with my head on top of it, all of a sudden-like. She dug in her claws and launched off the top of her cat scratch post. The thing almost fell down, she took off so hard. I LOL'd.

VFD come on now!

What? At least I don't engage in one of my dad's old favorite games of "kick the cat into the swimming pool!"

Sodomites Don't Go To Heaven.

During my (unrelated) study this morning, I came across this verse. Feel free to mentally append this post to this one.

God is giving us a list of the kinds of people who will not be getting to Heaven. It wraps up with:

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

(1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

"abusers of themselves with mankind" is a 17th century English euphemism. The phrase is all one word in the original language: Strong's Concordance (greek) number 733. Strong's defines it as "From G730 and G2845; a sodomite: - abuser of (that defile) self with mankind."

It is pretty hard to get any more plain with your language. The Bible clearly states that queers are not going to make the cut. Note: this is a list of people who DO things. Not people who DID things. If you will come to Jesus for forgiveness of your sins and STOP being (e.g.) a sodomite, you can get to Heaven.

Otherwise, you're toast.

This (potentially) puts Congress at odds with the first Amendment to the Constitution, because the frikken BIBLE criticizes a now-federally-protected-against-harrassment group of people who define themselves solely on the basis of a biblically-condemned activity.

Honduras Election: It Happened.

Ex-President Zelaya had files on his computers showing him the winner of an upcoming election -before it had happened- as was discovered following his entirely LEGAL ouster from office.

So excuse me for noticing that it is the #1 election fraud hero in Honduras, calling the election he recently LOST, fraudulent. He says that, because up to 65% of the people in Honduras abstained from voting, it means they didn't accept the whole election process as legitimate.

Excuse me again for remembering, but we had 5% turnout in some jurisdictions in the recent elections in the US. "Those grapes are bitter!"

What's that, you didn't hear about the Honduras presidential election last Saturday, Sunday, yesterday, nor even today? Oh really? You mean the "Mainstream Media" didn't cover it at all? Who'd have thunk it!

In a move I wasn't 100% sure would take place, the US has called the election fair- and transparent-enough not to be able to reject the results out of hand, and President Obama signed a joint statement with Speaker Pelosi saying "We accept the results because we have to, but we don't have to like it.*"

Perhaps the least-surprising of all the Honduras election news is that the [deleted] communists and socialists running their countries into the ground in "Latin" America have been rejecting the results, and all our Capitalist BFFs are saying it's legitimate.

What a pile of poo. One can't help but wonder how much hassle would have been avoided if a Honduras Ninja had just "oops" cut President Zelaya's brake lines with a brick of C4 or given him a lead injection under Rule 308 or something. Oh well, what's done is done, and never to be recorded in the Progressive History of the World once the Socialists finally dominat. . . . oh, sorry, got carried away there.

At any rate, I extend official VFD congratulations and well-wishes to President Wolf.

*Note: I may have made that bit up. And by may have, I mean "did".

Man, Ouch. My Wallet.

We just stroked a check for $2700-ish to American Express. The money was there, as I have previously mentioned, but still . . . writing a check for what my CAR is worth takes some getting used to.

Thanks God for the continuing ability to pay my bills!

A Question About Health Care:

Under Obamacare, the minimum requirements for covered benefits on your health insurance plan are going to drive premiums up by several hundred percent. If your employer can't afford to pay for your plan under Obamacare, they may cancel your now-non-conforming health plan. You will be foisted off on the government-run healthcare system.

Fun bit about that: the taxes and penalties for your employer (and potential jail time for YOU) start immediately, but benefits don't start coming online for 3-4 years.

Who pays for your health care in the interim?

Is that really good for the Working Man? (I thought the Democrats were all about the working man!)
