Cartoons are always easiest to draw after the tenth time you’ve done them, aren’t they, mikey?

And isn’t it quite telling that the ship still hasn’t slipped below the surface, after 6 years of “sinking?”

~~~~~~

Krauthammer nails “Herr Idiocy:”

{{{{The Post editorial noted “a perverse kind of good news” in Hillary’s free-trade revisionism: “There’s little chance that her position reflects any deeply held principle.” And there lies the beauty not just of Clinton on free trade but of the Clinton candidacy itself: She has no principles. Her liberalism is redeemed by her ambition; her ideology subordinate to her political needs.}}}}

A rudderless barge afloat in a sea of fake polls, however, will steam full speed towards any illegal campaign contributions.

Let’s just say on the question of “should America be eliminated or not,” the Muslims were able to muster more yes votes then the Americans voting no. Which side would SHrillary be on?

~~~~~~

{{{{President Bush, appearing with his economic team to trumpet the news, noted that the deficit turned out to be $81 billion lower than it was projected to be in February. He said the deficit represents 1.2 percent of gross domestic product — less than the average of the last 40 years.}}}}

We can have a whining hissy fit about our candidates position on abortion or we can usher in another 4 years of Republican led economic prosperity. It’s your, uh, “choice.”

~~~~~~

{{{{Gore only has one scientist, James Hansen of NASA, whispering the sweet nothings into his ear that sea-level could rise this much or more in the next 92 years, as Greenland’s ice sheets are destabilized by climate change. No other scientist is willing to climb out on this limb, because it is simply not supported by the observed climatic history of Greenland since the end of the last ice age. For much of six millennia, ending 3,000 years ago, it had to be warmer, and yet the ice stuck like glue. Hansen’s amazing response, which you can read on his blog, documented at www.realclimate.org (not exactly a peer-reviewed scientific journal!) is that other scientists don’t agree with him because they suffer from what he calls “scientific reticence.” In other words, all his colleagues are chicken-bleeps because they don

GORE’S PEACE PRIZE TRIUMPH

By Luckoduh

October 12, 2007 8:09 AM | Link to this

Sorry about the long post:

The world held its breath after Samarra: here, we thought, comes the cataclysm, the civil war that many had feared and that others had sought for three years. But it never happened. The Shia backlash in parts of Baghdad was vicious, and the Sunnis were more or less kicked out of much of the city. But over 18 months later, it is clear that the Shias were too sensible to go all the way. It was never a civil war: no battle lines or uniforms, no secession, no attempt to seize power or impose constitutional change, no parallel governments, not even any public leaders or aims. The Sunnis rolled the dice, launched the battle of Baghdad and lost. Now they are begging for an accommodation with Shia Iraq.

{{{{But in terms of national politics, there is nothing left to fight for. The only Iraqis still fighting for more than local factional advantage and criminal dominance are the irrational actors: the Sunni fundamentalists, who number but a thousand or two men-at-arms, most of them not Iraqi. Like other Wahhabi attacks on Iraq in 1805 and 1925, the current one will end soon enough. As the maturing Iraqi state gets control of its borders, and as Iraq’s Sunni neighbours recognise that a Shia Iraq must be dealt with, the flow of foreign fighters and suicide bombers into Iraq from Syria will start to dry up. Even today, for all the bloodshed it causes, the violence hardly affects the bigger picture: suicide bombs go off, dozens of innocents die, the Shias mostly hold back and Iraq’s tough life goes on.}}}}

{{{{We have become very familiar with General Petraeus and the disputed numbers of his surge. Does US strategy reflect the phenomena I have described? The Americans have never argued this way. But reading between the lines, American thinking does seem broadly to accord with the conclusions of this argument, if not its premises. Petraeus has already announced the first marine and army drawdowns for September and December respectively. His boss, defence secretary Robert Gates, is hoping publicly for a net withdrawal of 60,000 troops next year. Bush too is promising cuts. These plans are a recognition that the job in Iraq is moving rapidly towards something closer to Iraqi police work than American war.}}}}

Bush’s ship has had the mark of death since it left port. It was really a pirate ship from the start; the Bush family used their ties to the supreme court to steal the election from Al Gore and the American people.

Well now, Al Gore has won the Nobel Peace. Maybe we can give Bush the Hellfire War and Death Prize. He richly deserves it.

There seems to be some question as to whether Gore deserves the Peace prize. Seems that some are questioning a few of the points made in “An Incovenient Truth”. It took great vision to get such a movie done which confronted such an uncomfortable truth.

At least Gore made the movie. Bush is hardly capable morally and intellectually of watching a movie.

Mountain Man - Please read Mellisch’s little article on global warming on the WSB radio site. The fact is that DumGore is making many claims that science does not back up. Also, a judge in England has ruled is film is riddled with factual inaccuracies. Also, the Earth has been warming since out last ‘cooling’ period ended in the 1850s. Read a book you twit. By the way, I am not a creationist or a flat earther, just an educated man who doesn’t fall for pop-science and left-wing propoganda.

How many recounts does it take for you to understand Gore lost and Bush won. You continue to deny the truth regardless of how many times the votes were counted. Counted by the media, both left and right leaning media

But then again, the truth doesn’t mean squat to the looney left.

What is harm in having everyone aware of the impact that carbon dioxide has on the planet, regardless of whether you believe it is man-made or not?

Congratulations to Al Gore and the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change! It’s nice to have the Nobel Peace Prize won by an American (at least half of it).

Mr. Headcase, When you mention an article it’s better to post it yourself I always find:

Kirk Mellish on Global Change

Good article.

Mr. Headcase, are you trying to use this article to say that climate change is a myth? I know I’m making assumptions and I shouldn’t, but I’m just curious.

As far as an Inconvenient Truth is concerned, I saw the movie, and I had some problems with it - I didn’t like all the political stuff meshed in the movie, I think it made him look kind of bitter, and there are some points in the movie that have been (according to some scientists) over exagerated.

But, in my opinion, it doesn’t mean that we should just continue as always and do nothing about being stewards of the Earth.

I think if one tiny little bit of what scientists say is happening, then we have gone too far in raping our planet. If one tiny little bit of what they say is true, then we’re in trouble.

I don’t know about everybody, but I really like being outside and having clean water to drink and clean air to breath.

In my opinion, we should all be grateful to Al Gore for his prowess on environmentalism, and at least trying to make the planet a better place to live.

An American winning this award is a great achievement and instead of griping about him, we should be happy that one of our citizens brought home such a prestigious honor.

I love how fox posts Al Gore’s win as a top story, yet right below it they have “British Court: Gore Film Exaggerated Climate Claims”. Classy, real classy.

I guess all that peer review, and acceptance of the science involved with global warming doesn’t count for anything and that’s why he and the IPCC won.

I still to this day do not see why this has become a political issue. For you republicans out there: God gave us ONE house to live in. How do you expect us to survive if we trash the only place we have to live? What happens to your house when you just let everything go into disarray? It doesn’t take long for that house to fall apart. The same hold true for Earth.

Nice cartoon Mike, my split/multiple personalities, Luckoduh, Mad as Hell and ZellDuh don’t like it though. The “guys” will probably go into a semi-psychotic rant about how your cartoon is wishing thinking by a gay communist pinko conspiracy and blah, blah, blah. Anyway, sorry I can’t keep those guys under control and on a leash more often. Speaking of being on a leash, my 6th and 7th personalities, ZellDuh are really into that thing, but only during rollplay with whips and chains with a strong dominant man like, say, Ann Coulter doing the whipping with ZellDuh in diapers while chained to the radiator in the basement and typing on a keyboard for nonstop blogging. Having multiple personalities has never made a conservative schizo like me so proud.

Speaking of Ann, I’m sure that, by now, you all have heard her little comments to Donny Deutsch on his nightly show, “The Big Idea” that “Jews need to be perfected” at which point in the show Deutsch immediately cut her off and went to commercial (I guess that Mike should have drawn a few more rats jumping off that Conservative ship). In my opinion, that wasn’t fair to Ann and showed Donny’s liberal bias because Conservatives should have just as much opportunity to personally embarrass themselves and taint their so-called careers as liberals do. That’s okay though, Ann will be over later today with Sean, Rush and Billo so that we can all help to “make things better” because its just not right what the liberal media is trying to do to a strong conservative man like Mr. Ann Coulter (I have to officially call her a man until she can get the funds to go ahead with the last step of the sex change operation to remove all of the last physical vestiges of her previous “manhood”).

Until then, me, ZellDuh, Sean, Rush and Billo will enjoy Ann’s God-given equipment while we still can. Oh, and if any of you would like to make any donations to either the ZellDuh mental health treatment fund or the Ann Coulter Sex Change Fund (so that he can finally be the Conservative woman that he has always wanted to be) send all donations to: (((Fox News Headquarters, c/o The ZellDuh-Coulter “It’s Not Socialized Medicine If A Rich Conservative Political Hack Like Me Gets It For Free” Health Care Fund.)))

I have never read the Exxon/Mobile stuff and don’t plan to. Most of my research on this topic actually took place during the 1970s and 1980s debunking the looney-left fantasy of GLOBAL COOLING!! I can also read a history book. Also go to the History Channel site and look up “Big Chill, Little Ice Age.” Now I realize that you think that DumGore is a brilliant intellectual who was cheated out of the presidency, but really he is just a facile liar with the most mediocre of intellects who managed to flunk out of two graduate programs - Harvard Divinity and Vanderbilt Law. The real shame here is the politicization of the Academy Awards and the Nobel Peace Prize.

I really do feel sorry for all of you left-wing sychophants who can only spout the “propoganda du jour” rather than seeking the truth. But that would take effort. You folks still think that Karl Marx’s theory of societal evolution is valid. What a bunch of light weights!

LONDON - Women are just as likely to get an abortion in countries where it is outlawed as they are in countries where it is legal, according to research published Friday.

Neo-Puritans really believe that they can stop abortion by making it illegal or difficult to acquire.

Too bad human nature will always trump their prayers and ribbons. Abortions are NOT particularly difficult to perform and can not be regulated effectively any more than sex can be regulated effectively. People are going to do it if they feel the need, regardless of law.

The only ‘choices’ that any society has is rather those abortions will be carried out safely and humanely, if they will be performed by some veterinary assistant in a back-alley butcher shop with a turkey baster, or if society will have to foot the bill to repair the damage!

RW,

So, you are refruting the smear campaign by cowardly bloggers like Michelle Malkin and the Freeper freaks against a 12-year-old child.

The Dems aren’t hiding behind a 12-year-old child. Rather they are showing just who Bush’s veto is directly affecting.

See, that’s the typical Republican response. When they can’t logically debate an issue, they resort to smear tactics—even if it’s a 12-year-old child with a brain injury.

Nobody is hiding, RW, but rather everybody is sitting back and wathcing the GOP cut their own throats by committing character assasination against an honest middle-class American family.

Regarding manbearpig’s Nobel Peace Prize, can anyone explain to me how global warming, err, climate change is connected to world peace?

I would argue that taking moonbat positions which blame man (and Americans in particular) for what the sun, the earth’s axis, and other natural phenomena are most responsible for is divisive, feeds irrational hatred, and makes us more, not less “peaceful”.

Further, if we were to follow the Marxist’s, err, Progressives “solutions” to “solving the crisis” the result would be less prosperity and more poverty which would inevitably lead to more warfare as a consequence.

Moreover, how does blaming global warming on farting livestock (which the U.N. did) earn a prize in anything except The Most Idiotic Theory of all Times Award?

If you feel like providing any factual evidence of an attack ON THE 12 YEAR OLD I’ll be happy to peruse it when I get back this afternoon.

If all you’ve got is your sappy whining and lies to play on the heartstrings of dullards that don’t bother to learn the facts before they condemn an action save it for somebody else.

I do see that you’ve now shown them to be a middle class family, so your “helping the poor” is just a strawman.

Yes, Dubya, I believe I can surpass dem totals:

{{{{The most publicized example of the difficulties of operating heavy and medium bombers in support of ground forces came during the preparatory bombardment for Operation COBRA, the breakthrough attack at Saint-Lô that led to the breakout across France. The COBRA strikes killed slightly over 100 GIs and wounded about 500. Without a doubt, the strikes were badly executed, and serious command errors were made. The first came on July 24, a cloudy day, when COBRA had been initially set for launch. A postponement order reached the Eighth Air Force Commander, Lt. Gen. James H. “Jimmy” Doolittle, too late: the Eighth’s bombers were already airborne. Most crews wisely refrained from bombing due to weather and returned to base. Some found conditions acceptable and did drop. Friendly casualties occurred in three instances. When another plane in the formation was destroyed by flak, a bombardier accidently toggled his bomb load on an Allied airstrip, damaging planes and equipment. A lead bombardier experienced “difficulty with the bomb release mechanism” and part of his load dropped, causing eleven other bombardiers to drop, thinking they were over the target. Finally, a formation of five medium bombers from the Ninth Air Force dropped seven miles north of the target, amid the 30th Infantry Division. This latter strike inflicted the heaviest casualties—25 killed and 131 wounded—on the first day that COBRA was attempted.}}}}

If your vision was as myopic as your views and understanding of current events, you would need a cane and a dog.

This isn’t only about Frost, this is about the tens of millions of children in this country with no health care. This is about states not being able to foot the bill themselves. And who gets hurt? Children.

I haven’t recruited anybody to my side. It’s just that any decent human being with a conscience can understand that many of those on the right-wing of this country have sunk to a new low in trying to smear the reputation of a child and his family.

Luckoduh,

And you hide behind a computer and your phony support of the troops to justify your backwards opinion. I guess this blog really gives you the chance to feel like you’re somebody.

How many violins do you own? The changes to SCHIP do not only involve “Children”.

Secondly, my very prosperous neighbors own their own business and their children are on “Peach Care”, which my tax dollars help finance. Does that make sense to you, stevie?

Maybe it would be better if we reformed the current system so that we could belong to a national pool of individuals who, in the free market, purchase insurance, instead of having restrictive regulations and tax laws that favor those who work for large corporations?

Moreover, if liberals didn’t constantly enact rules that require more and more things be covered under health insurance policies, maybe it wouldn’t have become so expensive in the first place.

Let the people decide what kind of coverage they want, but they have to be willing to pay for it.

{{{Ad Campaign Criticizes Pro-Life Members of Congress for Voting against Children’s Health Insurance

Washington, DC- Catholics United will launch a radio advertising campaign targeting ten members of Congress whose opposition to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) have compromised their pro-life voting records.

The ads, which feature a mother urging her Congressional Representative to support SCHIP, will primarily air on Christian and talk radio stations from Monday Oct. 15 to Wednesday, Oct. 17 as Congress approaches a critical Oct. 18 vote to override President Bush’s veto of bipartisan SCHIP legislation.

“Building a true culture of life requires public policies that promote the welfare of the most vulnerable,” said Chris Korzen, executive director of Catholics United. “At the heart of the Christian faith is a deep and abiding concern for the need of others. Pro-life Christians who serve in Congress should honor this commitment by supporting health care for poor children.”

The following members of Congress have voted against SCHIP, which provides high-quality health coverage to more than six million children whose families would otherwise be unable to afford insurance. Radio ads will air on local radio stations in their congressional districts. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, Florida Rep. Joseph Knollenberg, Michigan Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, Michigan, Rep. Tim Walberg, Michigan Rep. Steve Chabot, Ohio Rep. Gene Taylor, Mississippi Rep. Michelle Bachmann, Minnesota Rep. Sam Graves, Missouri Rep. Thelma Drake, Virginia Rep. John Peterson, Pennsylvania The script for the radio commercial reads: “I’m the mother of three children, and I’m pro-life. I believe that protecting the lives our children must be our nation’s number one moral priority. That’s why I’m concerned that Congressman X says he’s pro-life but votes against health care for poor children. That’s not pro-life. That’s not pro-family. Tell Congressman X to vote for health care for children. Call him today at XXXX, that’s XXXXX.”

Ain’t no violins here, just basic human decency. :)

I guess you trust corporations, like insurance companies, with your health. How do you know your neighbors are still pulling in a decent income? Are you sure that they are on Peach Care? How did they qualify?

Health insurance isn’t expensive because of liberals, it’s expensive because insurance companies are trying to maximize the bottom line! They shuffle their feet when it comes to paying for the procedures of their insurees and they call it a loss. That’s absolutely insane! Also, health care is one of the leading causes of bankrupcy in this country.

I like the free market when it comes to purchasing consumer goods. I like to have the best cell phone service, the best food, the best car, and the best clothes that my money can buy. But health care does not belong in the free market.

If the Dems hadn’t been so shameless in the first place by exploiting this family, then no one would need to know a thing about the Frost family’s assets, now would we?

You may also want to ask yourself what incentive private businesses will have to offer insurance to their employees, at their expense, if they can just dump it altogether and hand the responsibility over to taxpayers?

Who knows, UNC might even be tempted to stop insuring its professors! Universities are famous for spreading the myth that if the government pays for something it’s FREE!

Michele Cossey, 46, bought her home-schooled son, Dillon, a .22-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle and a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle, authorities said.

Republicans wanted ‘Law & Order’ and as is usual with everything they touch, they have shot themsleves and our kids right square in the face, again!

Now we can’t even buy our kid a .22 without becoming somehow responsible if a one-in-a-million teenager goes looney-toons and falls off the deep end.

So, why is it that our responsibility for the actions of others ends with progeny? Why aren’t we responsible for nephews, cousins, nieces, siblings, parents, and anyone else the ‘Law & Order’ crowd can dream up?

Now, did you know that the Pelosicrat version of the SCHIP program would insure people up to the age of 25? Are they children?

Did you read what RW told you about the FACT that the Frost family were already covered under the existing SCHIP plan? Did you know that that plan was started by Republicans in 1997?

Over the years I have been insured by many different private health insurance companies. The only one I ever had a problem with was an HMO which gave me a list of crappy doctors I could choose from, many of whom barely spoke English. Believe me, that was not an experience I wish to relive but I’m sure we could arrange a crappy plan like that for you if that’s what your heart desires. You’ll be very happy to know that Hillary plans on raising your taxes too!

I am fortunate to have a great insurance plan now which we chose out of a menu of choices. We had the option of an MSA, a low deductible plan, or the plan we chose which has a high deductible.

This plan is available to us because it is offered by a major corporation. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone had access to a variety of plans like that? Isn’t that what we should be encouraging?

By the way, I just heard a hilarious parody on Rush about Hillary and all her chicken-in-a-pot vote buying schemes. I almost ran off the road I was laughing so hard.

October 12, 2007 11:41 AM | But I guess Bush vetoing vital research bill surrounded by “snowflake babies” was perfectly appropriate use of kids as props, right?}}}

rushncap,

There is no comparison between the Frosts being used to lie about the SCHIP plan, and Snowflake children, who, thanks to an ethical use of science, were given life. These are two entirely different issues.

Snowflake children is a term used by organizations that promote the adoption of embryos left over from in vitro fertilization to describe children that result, where the children’s parents were not the original cell donors. These embryos are transferred to infertile couples via embryo adoption, although the legal process of taking ownership of an embryo differs from that of traditional adoption.

I know every embryo lost to experimental science is tragic for Liberals. Maybe Steve-o can console you.

Wingnuts cry about the Betrayus ad, but cheer on the comments by Rush that we have phony soldiers, the lies about the Frost family, the disgusting personal attacks on Edwards by Coulter, not to mention her anti-Semitic remarks about Jews. But it was ok for Bush to use for backdrops test tube babies, veterans, a naval ship, seniors.

Wingnuts laughed yesterday about Gore’s chances of winning the Nobel peace prize. Are you laughing now?

Wingnuts had so many chances to make a difference in this country. What did they decide to make a priority? Gay marriage, pro-life, economy threatening tax cuts, a war for oil, domestic spying.

(((Talks between U.S. and Russian officials have entered a critical round and have given Iran — which figures heavily in the negotiations — something to be concerned about.)))

(((There are, however, indications from within the clerical regime that it is concerned (to put it mildly) that Russia could sell it out to the United States for the right price.)))

(((Hassan Rohani, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s representative on the Supreme National Security Council, scathingly criticized his country’s nuclear policy Oct. 11, saying that the sanctions it has prompted are badly hurting the Iranian economy. Rohani, who also is a senior member of top Iranian clerical body the Assembly of Experts, was quoted by Iranian daily Etemad Melli as saying, “At the moment, we are under threats in the international domain more than ever. … The country’s diplomacy is successful when it does not let the enemy unite other countries against our national interests.”)))

Were you implying military service should be a prerequisite for a President? Do we really want to go there?

Just a couple observations on the state of the process so far: the frontrunner Reps are not popular with the hardcore cons of the Rep Party. Their reaction seems to be “tough.” Some hardcore groups are threatening to withhold support, which would increase the likelihood of a Dem victory. The Rep candidate response? “Tough.” Interesting response to political blackmail.

So the Rep candidates seem out ahead of many of the traditional power brokers of the party. Maybe this is real leadership?

But much of the analysis here treats the rank and file of the Rep party as if they were unreconstructed John Birchers.

Meanwhile, the Dem candidates, by and large, seem very, very sensitive to the major influence groups. Obama seems to have backed away from his “do this a different way” - even though he cited this theme on his latest attack on Hillary. Hillary’s been threading a course to make it past the special interests but still be viable to the general populace. Funny, she hasn’t “apologized” for her vote on Iraq, she said sometimes a Pres needs to go to war without the agreement of the UN or consent of Congress, she’s carefully nuanced her position from withdrawal to a longer presence in Iran - and she’s the Dem frontrunner. Maybe that’s a default position - she can buck the farleft antiwar crowd but still be seen as the best chance for Presidential victory.

So the Rep candidates, by and large, are snubbing many of the past power brokers while the Dem candidates seem to encounter a tightening of their options by a strengthening of the more extreme partisans of their party. And still the Dem candidate who doesn’t entirely toe the line is in the lead.

On the “service” issue - I think in today’s environment it’s should be a nonissue. The population who’ve “avoided” service (code for Vietnam?) is pretty much dying out. It wasn’t even a thought for many up and comers now entering the fray. I’ve said before - look at the advisors they select. The Perle/Wolfowitz group should have cause many questions at the beginning of Pres Bush’s administration (I do not include Rumsfeld in this). And now Hillary seeks advice from - Sandy Berger.

That would be tantamount to a criminal defendant charged with embezzlement going into court and saying: “Your Honor, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I be punished just because the Bush administration refused to update the law to make my criminal behavior legal?”

Such an “argument” would trigger judicial laughing fits and probably sanctions. But our Beltway elite is so desperate to defend telcoms (and, more importantly, to close off the sole remaining mechanism for investigating the administration’s illegal warrantless eavesdropping and obtaining a judicial ruling as to its illegality) that they will twist themselves into the most inane positions in order to defend something as extraordinary as granting retroactive amnesty for lawbreaking telecoms….

[E]ven more unfathomable is the idea that the Congress would pass a law that has no purpose other than to protect from all legal consequences the largest and most powerful corporations in the event that they are found to have broken our nation’s surveillance and privacy laws. What possible justification is there for any of that? }}}}

Krautenhammer is hacking my blogs. He wrote a piece about Shrillary, heridiocy, and hitlery, (all the same person but so cleverly respelled that clinton has no chance in ‘08).

Anyway, get a load of this phrasing and parallel construction: “Her liberalism is redeemed by her ambition; her ideology subordinate to her political needs.”

Of course that passage has no meaning, but it is an attempt to write like analchord.

Yes they would have because with 4 kids and them earing a combined $55,000 a year they would have and still do would be eligible to be in the program. The problem with Bush’s numbers are he is trying to say that those making $85,000 a year will switch to the government program. The problem is the $85,000 figure is bogus, it was floated around in NYC when they were discussing the program. The program is very specific about who is eligible. Even GOPers acknowledge that the 85,000 figure is bogus. But Dubya continues to grand stand on it…

Executive Summary

• Climate change impacts are happening at lower temperature increases and more quickly than projected. • The Arctic’s floating sea ice is headed towards rapid summer disintegration as early as 2013, a century ahead of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections. • The rapid loss of Arctic sea ice will speed up the disintegration of the Greenland ice sheet, and a rise in sea levels by even as much as 5 metres by the turn of this century is possible. [Wrong! It will be MUCH worse then this, see below] • The Antarctic ice shelf reacts far more sensitively to warming temperatures than previously believed. • Long-term climate sensitivity (including “slow” feedbacks such as carbon cycle feedbacks which are starting to operate) may be double the IPCC standard. [At least double] • A doubling of climate sensitivity would mean we passed the widely accepted 2°C threshold of “dangerous anthropogenic interference” with the climate four decades ago, and would require us to find the means to engineer a rapid drawdown of current atmospheric greenhouse gas. [Can’t be done. Only thing we could do would be stop emitting them, causing global economic collapse instantly] • Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are now growing more rapidly than “business-as-usual”, the most pessimistic of the IPCC scenarios. [Told you so!] • Temperatures are now within ≈1°C of the maximum temperature of the past million years. • We must choose targets and take actions that can actually solve the problem in a timely manner. [Optimistic b******] • The object of policy-relevant advice must be to avoid unacceptable outcomes and seemingly extreme or alarming possibilities, not to determine just the apparently most likely outcome. [Political CYA!] • The 2°C warming cap is a political compromise; with the speed of change now in the climate system and the positive feedbacks that 2°C will trigger, it looms for perhaps billions of people and millions of species as a death sentence. [A foregone conclusion already] • To allow the reestablishment and long-term security of the Arctic summer sea ice it is likely to be necessary to bring global warming back to a level at or below 0.5°C (a long-term precautionary warming cap) and for the level of atmospheric greenhouse gases at equilibrium to be brought down to or below a long-term precautionary cap of 320 ppm CO2e. • The IPCC suffers from a scientific reticence and in many key areas the IPCC process has been so defi

Howdy back! It’s been a while – trip for my wife’s semiannual cancer check, couple family obligations, off to a great college football game – then out this afternoon for some anniversary things so I don’t get to find out how comfortable the living room sofa is instead of a bed –

Hadn’t heard about the Doom thing. I’m honored, I think. Yes, someone did say we’re the same. Same with RW. I’ll have to be careful if my schizo personality fractures further – it’ll be a bit like playing three games of chess with myself.

I believe the Iranian ‘terrorist’ angle applies to the Quds force. Those are some nasty guys. The upside is, such a designation can bring special sanctions to bear and there’s increasing evidence this is causing problems for Ahmadinejad on the home front. I just read where one of Khameini’s deputies said A’s nuke program – the way he’s handling it – is effectively uniting opposing forces and causing grave economic problems. That’s exactly the sort of action some who want to stave off military action have called for – not exactly the designation, but the engagement/sanctions route as a means to weaken A.

@@ 3:27

Finding information about the military action in Waziristan in the mainstream media is quite difficult. The way al Qeda’s been treating the Pakistani prisoners, we may see the Paks going to the “save the last bullet for yourself” route the Cavalry did during the Indian engagements. Kinda shows the mindsets of the systems: we debate and debate about how to handle Ahmadinejad and the Taliban says of their foe “kill her.” I can’t think of many better ways to illustrated the fundamental differences between our societies.

Bosch 3:39

I didn’t mean the “outrage” over who served, who didn’t, how did they serve, where did they serve, how did the avoid as nauseum wasn’t an issue – but that it should not be. People have reasons for doing things in their 20s that aren’t really seen in the same light in their 60s. Anyone (including Rush, etc) questioning others is to me, pointless. Kerry’s difficulty in the last election came because he chose to make it an issue, to demonstrate all the testosterone things – then he opened himself up to counterattack. More politics by personality and the past, not policy and the future.

My understanding about the 85 grand figure is the option for states with high-cost areas to apply for waivers (which I understand the Bush administration has denied). But that’s a provision that would extend past this administration and into the next – where they could be granted.

What’s telling to me is that Republican Sen Orrin Hatch was one of the crafters of the bill – so much for stereotypes.

Your 4:51 – we had a couple of embassies bombed, hundreds killed. Embassies are considered sovereign – part of US soil. Splitting hairs, I know. But there was also the NYC Trade Center attack. 1993.

Think of the parallels. Attack in Pres Clinton’s first year, the reaction. Attack in Pres Bush’s first year, the reaction. Plenty’s been written about the iterative process of the attacks, analysis, learn, adjust tactics, attack again.

Hacks are the lowest form of maggotry in journalism.

I have been trying to get the AJC to provide a comment section after each news strip, now I understand why they have not granted such a space. I have seen very little in these postings worth while much less worth the space.

RW,

Yes, I saw that ITN injured his toe. That’s what you get for wearing Birkenstockers.

Maybe he would feel better if we gave him an upgrade to “Unispammer”.

Polly is a cracker @6:38,

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I guarantee you that we coined it first.

Give us the link where you first used the term uniblogger.

bboy,

Thanks for that stirring bit of advice to the blog.

Have you considered that they can claim openness by allowing blogging below various opinion segments of the paper, but don’t dare take the chance that a reader of one of the AJC “news” section articles will read beyond the end of the article and see the truth?

Buy Danish,

Unispammer works!

Polly Prepuce,

As I said I only post when a comment box allows me. If the box doesn’t go away at 7:00 that problem lies with the AJC, not me. I suggest we ban luckovich for not making his blog work properly.

RW: I’ll bet Polly’s mommy puts it to bed at 7 o’clock sharp every night and it is angry that it can’t read all the comments until the morning.

al-Gitmo: I pay private school tuition too and I don’t scam any scholarships to do it.

I figure there are those that need it more than I do.

Let them have it.

I’m what America used to be all about.

It ain’t anymore with you maggots around.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

No different then those healthy punks in New Orleans pushing women and children out of the way so they could get rescued first.

Sick.

Buy Danish,

When you weigh the differences between saving 2,500 little Jewish kids by bringing them out of Nazi death camps during the holocaust and somebody that stuck a thermometer up the planet’s rectum and decided it had a man made fever, what do you expect?

Of course they gave it to Al, the women that saved all those children couldn’t mount much of a PR campaign from her nursing home bed.

Well I’ll be a monkey’s aunt. The scientific evidence is in…

Virgin births do occur and…

Gay males can reproduce… they’ve just gotta shrivel up first.

Good news abounds or rebounds. Depends on how you wanna look at it.

Good news for the swimmer, he’s eating ice cream and drinking ginger ale

Did you know he somehow got rescued while others died in 1964 too?
