Although it’s easy to point to record snowstorms as proof the warmmongers are crazy, it’s not really scientifically sound. Still, as anecdotal evidence piles up like a New Jersey snowdrift, it’s fun to do:
Sounds crazy, but as the Potsdam Institute of Climate Research announced last Tuesday, man-made global warming could cause “polar winds to make their way to Europe and North Asia, whereby the probability of cold winters triples.”
MMGW makes for colder winters.
That very day a Professor Stephan Rahmstorf released a report saying climate change means “we have to anticipate milder winters rather than cold ones,” and that even our “cold” winters have gotten “warmer.”
MMGW makes for warmer winters. Two “scientists” from the same institute – two opposite predictions. Don’t they know that we learned the “heads I win, tail you lose” ruse in second grade?
For three years in a row, global warming models have predicted – erroneously – that Europe would have warm, snow-free winters. Meanwhile climatologist Piers Corbyn warned London of a white Christmas weeks ago. His models have been far more accurate than the UN-approved “science,” but he’s ignored.
Why? Because Corbyn’s research shows the sun has far more to do with climate patterns than your Prius does. Unfortunately, there’s no money to be made at places like the Potsdam Institute studying things like the sun. No legislature can regulate excessive solar output, and there are no jobs to hand out at the Department of Sunshine Control.
Good morning all. Dreary 61 with light mist at 6, then just dreary. A real Murkwood scene now, yard lights on, light rain pattering, blanketing gray sky. But it is welcome rain however slow. The few woodsy creatures out earlier have taken to their hidey holes. A good day to be inside if you can.
Bring on January 5th.

You are welcome.
#98 Tim hints munchies abound Not how I read it, Timber. The Cheetos were just a snack for watching the movie. I think the other munchies were for after the movie… It drives Bob nuts when we comment on his private life.

I have forgotten to give props:
“toopardeedoowopoly” – another big word I learned from Hamous.
#92. That 666 tag is such a sweet touch! The “Tax Fraud” Bettencourt punched his conservative card with me when he pulled that election stunt knowing full well he was going into business immediately after the election, in the tax protest business no less! This from the same guy who very publicly heaped a lot of political scorn on a… Read more »
Maybe we should just all go smoke a little dope this morning and forget all this worrying about the future of our country or our family or whatever. I hear that everything looks better when you all toked up.

RE: science projects Lovely Daughter was doing a science project on albedo and its effect on ice. To test it, we measured out specific amounts of water into ice cube trays to get exactly equal sizes. Then we painted different colors on (I think) paper. When we went back in, we found that Hubby had used her control cubes in… Read more »
OK,… Dave’s sleuthing now, first Bob says; As an anecdotal demonstration of that already well established fact, I’ll do so tonight as I visit a friend, watch a movie, and do seriously harm only to a bag of Cheetos. Don’t worry, I won’t be driving. I’m spending the night with her. Then later on there‘s this; btw, my pal thinks… Read more »

Looks like Bob came up for air.
#87 et al, Super Dave
Switch gears any time, I enjoyed your stories about your kids’ school science projects.
#91 Larry666, Dunno about Texpat, but I turned on KSEV when I saw your post. I heard Paul Betancourt’s voice which I assume is your “Tax Fraud”. Dunno what you are implying by that. I am using Paul’s company for prop tax protest and they have done wonders for me. I have no idea who you would label “head of… Read more »
#83. Were you listening to the program? If not, it had exactly nothing to do with Rick Perry or Dann Patrick.
Geez.
high y’all 8)
So much for the effectiveness of your war on drugs.
btw, my pal thinks y’all are cute too.
Now where did I put those darn Cheetos?
About the science fairs, Daughter always came up with her own ideas while the Boy picked something off the suggestions list. Her first real good one was to decide which Zip-Lock bags were the best/strongest. So we went to Kroger’s and Randalls’ and bought their store brands and got Glad, Zip, lock etc. Now we had to figure out how… Read more »
Texpat, I saw your post that said you got yourself DUG OUT man what a mess. I agree with you about Perry, I think he is the Consummate POLITICIAN, that is he take credit when thing go right and when it comes time to be re-elected he goes down to the boarder and make a few ads and now he’s… Read more »
Well, I think it might be time to switch gears, I was out in the garage and saw a poster board, it seems that when my Bride was in the attic, putting up the Christmas decorations, she brought it down, destined for the trash, I suppose? Hope not, it was a science project done by the Boy and to be… Read more »
#85 mh42 Rick Perry has been riding the wave of Texas prosperity for years and doing so from the Governor’s seat has not allowed him much authority to screw up a really good thing.

#83 Texpat Rick and Dan are just cogs in the machine I can’t see Rick Perry getting very far in national politics. He is total politician and that is unwholesome, it’s not what conservatives want. A history of frenetic promises while campaigning, broken without so much as a backward glance after the election. That is contempt of consituency. Also in… Read more »

#80 Lawrence Relax a little. First of all, if Rick Perry and Dan Patrick were half as smart and influential as they think they are the world would be a stampede of a billion purple unicorns.

Actually, Bob thought we would flip out with utter joy on realizing that his “evidence” about the 99% who would never smoke dope was meaningless — since that study was about something quite different.
I was not glad, or sad, but as I said — disgusted! — that he posted the irrelevant data.
Folks, the fix is in for the Repuke nominee in 2012.
The good old boy Repuke establishment has already rigged the game. The media will go along for the ride and the socialist train will thunder on.
Just tune into to KSEV and listen closely.
“The Tax Fraud” and the head of the Repuke Party of Texas are currently on KSEV applying the political Astroglide to the folks for a moderate centrist(read RINO) Republican Party Presidential candidate in 2012. The same old excuses are flowing like fine wine. Repuke good, Demoncat bad. It’s very clear to me the toopardeedoowopoly, just like the government unions, has… Read more »
Darren (#63 yesterday) We also enjoy the uniqueness of their names. The explanations of where the names came from are as interesting as the names themselves. I think most “neonyms” are just randon syllables making a pleasant sound, but it’s a lot more than that in your family’s case. Glad you skipped “Orstie” or that son would have been stuck… Read more »
Wow, I sure butchered the format there. Let me try it again…
I’m pretty sure that wasn’t what B42 had in mind.

I agree but you must understand that bob gets orgasms from all sorts of sources. That’s the way he views the world. Sad really.
As well as funding all the new programs at Dept of Agriculture to study and improve cultivation, at ATCF (Alcohol, Tobacco, Cannabis, and Firearms) to enforce the new laws and regulations that will need to be passed to engage in commerce and collect taxes and fees in the same manner as booze, FDA to regulate production practices, etc., etc., etc.,—-and… Read more »

#46 Hamous. A must read. The comments with it are excellent.
Right, Tedtam. And over here I see a threatening sky lurking in the northwest, increasing winds out of the south pulling in more Gulf moisture to fuel the rains to come, and a bit of uneasiness amongst the woodsy creatures who sense stuff so much better than we can. A cute squirrel hopped up on the back of the bench… Read more »

Hammie, you might have to clean up my last post. Apparently Hal42 didn’t like my use of a four letter word for urine. Or, it could’ve been the equivocation of dope42 to EPJ, a name whose mere mention should be something that should trigger the “doomsday machine” on every self respecting blog.
I think Bobolink started tokin’ early for his date tonight. He is hallucinating Sarge as a fish or something… And as an Authoritarian.

#53 Dude, let’s take a good look at heroin history. It is by far the most harmful and most addictive abused substance. It was used during the civil war as a surgical anesthetic and for post-op pain relief. From then until about 1905, it was a key ingredient in oral “patent” medications whose labels didn’t mention it. After the FDA… Read more »

Good lord, Bob, that 3-year-old survey on hard drugs is your source for saying 99% of people would still abstain from smoking pot if it were legalized?
This is disgusting, not orgasmic.
It would remain the same or drop, simply because your war on drugs is completely ineffective in limiting access to them, and (just like alcohol prohibition) drives the market underground. And we are unable to prevent bank robberies as well. And embezzlement. And Identity Theft. And rape. And Domestic Abuse (even though we spend a good deal of effort on… Read more »
