“Lt. Col Limbaugh is preparing to lead the 1st Ditto-Head Recon division in a daring raid aimed at penetrating Iranian golf courses and securing the clubhouses in advance of a strike.
Limbaugh has been ordered to coopt any Iranian regular forces with offers of Cuban cigars, cheap viagra, and will command a special medical team which, in exchange for their cooperation, will offer free removal of cysts off the buttocks of any members of the Iranian high command that require the procedure.
Regarding the mission, Lt. Col. Limbaugh was uncharacteristically close-mouthed, but did remark: "This will give new meaning to the idea of a surgical strike."”

“Sorry about the double post. Sigh.”

Scientists warned that, unless drastic is taken immediately, in ten years from now glaciation may render some Northern cities uninhabitable." Dr. Giva Medinero, who holds the Al Gore Chair of Climatology in prestigious Woodstock University, was quoted as saying: "Imagine the entire Northern tier of U.S. cities-from Buffalo, to Bangor, Chicago, Minneapolis to Seattle-as one great big ice belt. Unless we do something to decrease the amount of anti-heat gases- this could be a terrible reality within ten years."
Meanwhile, former General David Petroleus, now director of the G.W. Bush Climate and Terror Institute, poo-pooed such notions, claiming: "There are many scientific studies showing that the burning of fossil fuels, far from causing this so called 'ice-house' effect, actually serve to mildly increase the atmosphere's temperature."”
However, the effects of the "ice-house" effect may already be being felt. Prof. Jacques Costco of the Walmart-Sea World Institute of Oceanography and Seafood, located in La Jolla, California says a recent study of the migratory patterns of gray whales shows that the Cetaceans are beginning their journey to the Baja Coast months ahead of their usual pattern. Prof. Costco remarked, "The unseasonally large formation of the Arctic ice flow is certainly a factor. It will be hard for ice-deniers to challenge this study. Man made global ice house is something we must deal with now."”

"Scientists warned that, unless drastic is taken immediately, in ten years from now glaciation may render some Northern cities uninhabitable." Dr. Giva Medinero, who holds the Al Gore Chair of Climatology at prestigious Woodstock University, was quoted as saying: "Imagine the entire Northern tier of U.S. cities-from Buffalo, to Bangor, Chicago, Minneapolis to Seattle-as one great big ice belt.

But the danger may be more imminent than previously thought. Professor Jaques Costco of the Walmart-Sea World Center for Marine Biology and Oceanography at La Jolla, California recently completed a study of the migratory patterns of Grey Whales and remarked that the Cetaceans have, in recent years begun their migrations to the Baja Coast months earlier than had previously been imagined. "There is no doubt in my mind that there has been an unseasonal increase in the Arctic ice flow, forcing the whales to begin their migration a month, even two months early", Prof. Costco was quoted as saying.”

“Recessional hymn for the First Ecumenical Council of Copenhagen:

Thanks for the memories

of Al Gore and Hockey Sticks

the Eu's bag of tricks

The Chinese balk at talk

Obama decides to walk

A polar bear somewhere out there can't find some ice to drift

Thank you, so much

Thanks for the memories

Of oceans rising due

to high levels of CO2

Heads of state fly back too late

but all the talk is through

Thank you, so much!”

“"Wages of sin of industrial man" "Mother Ganga"-and Greenism is not the new global religion?”

“IRANAPHOBIA!

Coming to an MSM near you!

Just when you thought it was safe to surge-...just when you thought you could expand the settlements from the comfort of your home-just when you thought that Copenhagen would save your world-

It's back and it's not going away anytime soon.

IRANAPHOBIA!

Live the fear!”

“Of course, the Greenists will come out and claim that this is just a sinister attempt on oil rich Russia's part to discredit the doctrine of man made climate change. They are good at this. If, for example, some or other skeptic cites a "cold winter", then the Greenist devotees will immediately respond that "climate" and "weather" are 2 different things. A particularly active hurricane season, on the other hand, is iron clad proof for global warming-so that weather is not really weather, see-it's "climate". This is the way the Greenists operate. If a non-scientist, such as Lord Monckton, questions global warming, then the Greenists will immediately cry: "Not a scientist! Not a scientist!" When non-scientist Al Gore comes out with his ridiculous Earth in the Balance, with its hockey sticks, horrible poetry and cataclysmic fear mongering, non-scientist Al Gore becomes, in the Greenists' eyes, a purveyor of scientific wisdom.
In other words, we are dealing with the new global religion of Greenism. The "catastrophe" is its apocalypse, the original sin is humanity (at large) making use of the forbidden fruit of technology to reach a better standard of living, its heretics are the "deniers", and its morality is collective, eschewing individual responsibility and placing the blame for environmental mayhem squarely on "us".”

“Greenism in a nutshell: Malthusian, anti-human, suicidal "life boat" economics, carrying capacity, imminent catastrophe. If, indeed the earth would be better off and have a "chance to heal" by the disappearance of the human race, then the Greenist devotees, particularly those elitists whose carbon footprint is so much, much, bigger than most others, (what with yachts, corporate jets, limousines, mansions and what not) should lead the way and shuffle off their mortal coil, thereby practicing what they preach. After all, as Burke said, example is the best school of humanity.”

“For all those who championed, voted for or participated in the de-industrialization of the U.S.-from those who extolled the wonders of globalization and free trade, the disestablishment of unions, the suppression of the American wage (and hence, the tax base), who outsourced, tax sheltered their junk bonds, pauperized the middle class and generally did everything they could to wipe out the American standard of living and turn this once thriving and growing economy into a cheap labor, service based third world cannon fodder farm-a condign punishment would be, in the dead of winter, run a gauntlet of dispossessed auto workers, small business people, family farmers and unemployed citizens in general, clad only in cheap undergarments purchased at the local Big Lots.”

“Perfect Apocalyptic scenario from the pontifex maximus of Greenism.
"Deniers" are the new heretics and, unlike the old heretics and dissenters, will bring down roasting on humanity at large because of their sin of "denial".
If computer simulations are correct, and if anthropogenic climate change indeed portends "catastrophic consequences" then there is one technology that has been available for some 60 years that, with the help of a crash program for building plants that efficiently produce power above and beyond any other means of power generation, and would seriously reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, and which could be supplemented by other, locally convenient means-such as geo-thermal and hydro-electric, not to mention the harnessing of tidal forces in the oceans.
But the "N"-word is, apparently, a no no because this whole thing is a fear mongering manipulation, after what remains of the tax base of the diminishing first world along with the suffering people of the third world, who yearn for things like electricity, running water, basic sanitation and a decent standard of living more in accord with human dignity than living in darkness, scrounging around a muddy well and living off of scarce roots and legumes.
I can just imagine, if the spirit of Greenism had been a serious political force back in 1933, would FDR have begun his first inaugural with "All we have to fear is fear itself" or "all we have is fear"?”

“President Obama having a Chabad-Lubavitcher in the White House is akin to the NAACP having a member of the White Citizens Council on its board of directors, or MIT having a member of the Flat Earth Society on its. Sure, it's a relatively small sect, but its size is in inverse proportion to its professed hatred of the goyim (children of Satan) and non-members in general, going far beyond anything professed by extremists in the historical Christian, mainstream Judaism or Islamic traditions.
I guess most Americans, not known for their intellectual curiosity, think that the guys lighting the menorah are Amish.”

“To say nothing of the millions of Palestinians "forcibly ejected from their homes" by the intrusion of a distinctly nationalist and identitarian ideology based almost entirely on European (specificallyGerman) ideology onto the soil of British Mandate Palestine, as opposed to a multi ethnic, religiously pluralistic "homeland."
I remember when Jimmy Carter got into trouble for suggesting that the "purity of ethnic neighborhoods" in the U.S. wasn't too bad an idea. What's good for the goose is good for the gander-how is a state based on "blood and soil" nationalism and an exclusive identitarian supremacy bad for Europe and America, yet a perfect model for the Middle East cockpit?”

“In the current Western paradigm in which "democracy" is the panacea, "freedom" , "equlity" the goal and "freedom" the inevitable result of the former two, there is only one real, rational solution to the Israel-Palestinian quandary: one citizenship, with no differentiation based on religion or ethnicity, one vote per citizen, and real equality under the law. That would obviate the need for barriers, corridors, and Bantustans. As long as Israel remains an ethnic Volk state, based on identitarianism, tribalism and religious exclusionism, then there will be conflict.
This does not imply the loss of identity, ethnicity or religion. What it does imply is that supremacism, such as white supremacism in the southern U.S., or apartheid, such as that practiced previously in Zimbabwe and South Africa are untenable social situations which cannot survive the scrutiny of of a candid world forever. The barriers, checkpoints and settlements may aid in insuring a little temporary security, but in the long run they are doomed as they provoke a seething resentment which will, in the long run, become greater and greater-the lid on the pot of boiling water.”

“In the global warming debate, we need more light than heat. (No pun intended). This is serious, folks. This time around, when the tornadoes, floods, fires, earthquakes and lightning, not to mention hurricanes, asteroids and tidal waves menace, there will be no President Morgan Freeman to save us.
As the Christopher motto goes: "It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness." Oops! Carbon dioxide alert! Put it out! Put it out! Start cursing.”

“You're right about the Jurassic period being much warmer. The dinosaurs realized that saurogenic climate change was a problem, and reduced their greenhouse eructation emissions by 50% over ten million years, which led to their ultimate exctinction. Most paleontologists credit the famous Algorosaurus Rex with leading the initiative for emission reduction by substituting defecation for eructation, otherwise known as "crap and trade."
The figures quoted in the above posts refer to the "Asphalt Age" and are based on temperatures taken in or around well known "cool spots" like airports and parking lots.”

“This is pretty much par for the course in our culture. People will hear something on Oprah and then read "Earth in the Balance" by Rev. Al Gore of the Great Green Religion, and get all "concerned" and when "critical mass" (read marketability and profitability of the "crisis") is reached, then a "Union of Concerned Scientists" will pop up with government funding or founded by one or other of the great foundations (Rockefeller, Ford, Carneige) and will serve as an ad hoc body to confirm that the scientific consensus is that everybody else (scientist or otherwise) who disagrees is in the pocket of some other (usually malign) competing interest and brand all dissenters (again, scientific or otherwise) with perjoratives like "denier". The timetables for catastrophe will consistently be pushed back as, it will be claimed, government actions have led to significant improvements, but it will never be enough, until a more effective (and lucrative) crisis can be hijacked and managed by the powers that be.
This is a pattern: Climate Crisis, Energy Crisis, Ozone Crisis, etc. ad infinitum. The oligarchs manage the manageable population via the constant fear of "crisis".

“Yeah, we're going to "free-fall" from dominance among earthly species.

Apeland has recently undergone a major schooling initiative to eliminate illiteracy among that species by 2020; while Dolphinia reported that it is working on a new tidal based power program which will eliminate its dependence on changing currents.
Senator John McCain, in a speech to congress today, warned his colleagues that such a program, if successful, could represent a potential danger to U.S. forces in the Pacific. "Imagine what a threat thousands of fanatical Dolphinists-having at their disposal an infinitely renewable and free power source-would be to our brave men and women serving in the Pacific. We cannot stand idly by as our dominance as a species is challenged by fish."
Keith Olbermann of Countdown, remarking on the gaffe, snorted: "This is a former navy guy, and he can't tell the difference between a dolphin and a fish? No wonder he chose Sarah Palin!"”

“Ten year warning are benchmarks and are good for fund raising, scams and tax rip-offs.

By the time the ten years comes around and nothing happens, those duped into willfully parting with their money and their intellectual independence will have forgotten all about it and the perpetrators will have gone on to some other impending catastrophe. I can only imagine: "Scientists warned that, unless drastic is taken immediately, in ten years from now glaciation may render some Northern cities uninhabitable." Dr. Giva Medinero, who holds the Al Gore Chair of Climatology in prestigious Woodstock University, was quoted as saying: "Imagine the entire Northern tier of U.S. cities-from Buffalo, to Bangor, Chicago, Minneapolis to Seattle-as one great big ice belt. Unless we do something to decrease the amount of anti-heat gases- this could be a terrible reality within ten years."
Meanwhile, former General David Petroleus, now director of the G.W. Bush Climate and Terror Institute, poo-pooed such notions, claiming: "There are many scientific studies showing that the burning of fossil fuels, far from causing this so called 'ice-house' effect, actually serve to mildly increase the atmosphere's temperature."”

“This is a very good point. Malthus was proved wrong time after time, yet he remains a patron saint of the anti-population crowd.
Malthus clearly did not understand that, if population grows "geometrically", technology can easily outpace population growth insofar as providing for the needs of humanity as generations of improvement in the standard of living parallel to enormous growth in the population have shown.
The only counter-argument that the Malthusians offer is, "this time is different-we are facing an unprecedented catastrophe" and talk on and on about lifeboats and carrying capacity as if these were new concepts, not just some speculations of a Renaissance oligarch.
Whenever you hear the words-"impending catastrophe-urgent action required-inevitable effect-may be too late-" know that you, the taxpayer, will be footing the bill one way or the other.
It's funny, the same nostrims apply to population control,carbon emissions, and climate change in general, etc.-"we" must do "something". The problem is "us"-never me. Which is why it's easy for the prophets of Greenism to preach to others about lifestyle changes, and "cutting back"-which is why they revere and extoll the aboriginals who barely survive from hunting and gathering as living in "earth saints" " living in harmony with the planet" from the comfort of their palatial eco-tourist digs, while never once suggesting that they, themselves, should practice a little more and preach a little less.”

“Climate change-whether anthropogenic or not-is something that has always occurred in earth's atmosphere-from the Medieval warming period to the little Ice Age that lasted well into the 18th century. If greenhouse gases are indeed the cause of potentially harmful climate change, then, as they have always done in the past, human beings will react and find a solution, based on science and technology-not so difficult in this case as the technology has been around for almost 70 years.
Of course this will not do for the Eco-priests of the Great Green Religion. The Eco-priest hierarchy doesn't want solutions, they want a blank check book, a frightened population and the projection of an ever darker apocalyptic scenario to fuel the fear. They are the left equivalent to the right wing rapturists.
"Denier" is the new word for heretic in the Great Green Religion. The secularized and self absorbed West no longer has any stomach for the moral demands of the old religions. Now this new Greenism comes along, which makes no moral demands on the individual per se- and is all about concern for the actions of humanity at large-eschewing personal responsibility, it's all about collective guilt, so guilt is projected onto "us". "We" (except for those of "us" who live as hunter gatherers in the rain forest) are equally guilty, and "we" must all make "sacrifices" to mitigate or ward off the impending environmental "apocalypse".”

“This obsession with Sarah Palin could very well backfire, because the more negative and critical press she gets from the left will just fire up her base, give her free publicity, and keep her in the national spotlight.
I seem to remember another Republican that the left considered a laughing stock and a lightning rod for criticism. One joke after the other preceded the "amiable dunce's" (a.k.a. Bedtime for Bonzo Ronzo)
eight year tenure in the Oval Office, from which he proceeded to gut the American economy and spend us into the financial crisis in which we now find ourselves.”

“One of the prime reasons that the middle class is dissapearing in the US is the fact that the Democrats, far from fulfilling their role as the champions of the lower and middle classes-were so bedazzled by the phony propaganda of Reaganism, trickle down, free trade, globalization and privatization that, in many cases, their economic platform is just a pale imitation of their opponents across the aisle-as perfectly exemplified by Bill Clinton who took up the economic causes of his predecessor with scarcely the blink of an eye-think NAFTA, the repeal of Glass-Steagal, Welfare "reform", the hyperventilating about the glories of globalization, etc.
Obama's economic advisors, especially Clinton retreads like Summers are just plain awful, an extension of the Goldman Sachs-JP Morgan tweedledum-tweedledee that could care less about the American people, American workers, or the American standard of living and seeks to maintain control over both parties by the dangerous illusion that (at the leadership level) there is a real difference.
It used to be, long ago, that the Republicans were the party of economic responsibility and the Democrats the party of economic progress. Now, the Republicans have become the party of economic demolition, with the Democratic leadership happily doing much of the heavy lifting.
The Democratic party needs to reform and start to think about its base-organized labor, smaller small businesses, lower income families, family farmers (if indeed they exist anymore)”
