For example, these so-called models that predict significant warming as a result of increasing man-made C02, how do they work? What variables do they take into account? How are the variables calculated? Do they include water vapor, for example? Perhaps most importantly, how do they...

You probably won't believe me when I say this NPR story on the hacked emails was one of the most fair and balanced I've heard on climate hysteria, but when James Hansen, one of the biggest propagandists for climate hysteria, says the gatekeepers are keeping him from publishing papers contrary to the "consensus" view, maybe you'll think the report is okay to at least listen to.

I guess this statment is the best that an army of lawyers and PR people could come up with over a 3-day period.

Articles like this one need to be challenged on several levels. First, the author is not a historian, he is a political analyst attempting to categorize the wars -- into OK and not OK, by a set of standards which in themselves are unsupported assumptions, or 'givens'. Second, before discussing the conclusions, the premises need to be laid bare. The 'unsoundness' of the Domino Theory is one example. Some time back we had a...

Seventeen here, not counting cats and dog, with two missing the call of duty. Lots of food left over. Everyone seemed pleased. Kids were beautiful together.

Any/all dots in Minnesota were due to my brother.

As a Tiger fan, I'm disappointed, but not surprised. It was reported that there was no alcohol involved. The first thought that came to mind when I tried to come up with an explanation for him going out sober at that hour was that he probably had a fight with his wife.
