O.K., I’ll go first… There was a Polack with a Big Journalism by-line, Who longed to be global warming debunking’s Mark Steyn. When working a deadline for the late edition, He was unable to re-fill his viagra prescription, T’hat’s when his wife learned he’d been hiding the decline. McFloyd O’Turbo’s turn: Share on Facebook (click to enlarge) Floyd left the latest edition of Inside Higher Ed in the Executive Washroom at Threedonia World Headquarters and as I was leafing through it while otherwise occupied I stumbled onto this article. It’s the results of this year’s NCAA tournament if the teams performed on the court as they do in the classroom. [...] Anthony Watts has a nice post today on the Urban Heat Island effect, or “UHI” as it’s known (because we propeller-head types have to use acronyms to keep you commoners off balance). He looks at the temperature records of two cities within close proximity of each other: Ft. Collins and Boulder, both in Colorado. The [...] I’ve gotten behind on my postings, and it’s use-it-or-lose-it time, so here’s an info-dump for you. It’s a Mike-a-pa-looza! POLITICS: The mighty Tom Veal does a good job of explaining why Obamacare ducks the real issue: the spiraling cost of health care. (Emphasis added.) Nothing at all in the Democrats’ plan even tries to make medical resources more abundant. [...] He’s back! After the scandal of the CRU e-mail revelations and the IPCC lies (and vice versa) many wondered if the high priest of the global-warming alarmist movement had permanently retired to his electrified compound to curse, moan, and count his carbon-offset millions. Alas, we’re not done with Al Gore, yet. If the former vice-president learned nothing [...] This will boost our traffic to be sure. A woman was apparently saved from a gunshot to the wound to the chest by her D-Cup silicon breast implants. Well OK, a plastic surgeon is making the claim, but he’s got the evidence — or so he says: Lydia Carranza was working at the Simi [...] BBC News has posted an interview with Phil Jones, the head of the beleaguered Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia. The recent leak of CRU’s e-mails and data files have caused many to question the professionalism of the CRU and their allies in the global warming-alarmist community. Some key excerpts (emphases mine): Do [...] In honor of The Who and the wonderful weather the majority of the USA is having, these Minnesota lads (and lass) fired up the instruments and gave us this masterwork… H/T Uncle Jimbo Share on Facebook Here is a fascinating article from The Wall Street Journal and the golden age of poisoners and the scientists who battled and still battle them. In 1906, Belle Gunness started running personal ads in Midwestern papers. She described herself as an attractive widow with a lush Indiana farm property, interested in an equally affluent new husband. [...] Share on Facebook A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra [...] OK, we still had some sound glitches, but we indeed ran a full 120 minutes with no major stalls or even a few minutes of silence. In our first interview-less show in God knows how long, and ably produced and piloted by Young Gun Conservative’s Kender “Patriot Missile” MacGowan, Rich, Floyd and I, along with [...] Tomorrow afternoon I’m giving a guest lecture on the insanity defense to a graduate psychology course entitled “The Psychopathic Mind”. The usual suspects appear of course: And Bundy and Gacy, etc. All cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs — yet none insane (except for Andrea Yates). I found a particularly chilling 911 call [...] Nice job “privacy advocates”. Because we want to respect the privacy of a few Muslims we all get to undergo this. On the upside? Someone at TSA is gonna get to look at your wimmins Abdullah. Chew on that. Thank Gaia that wasn’t a picture of John Napolitano. I [...] What hath Oscar wrought? Ged Galvin of Barnsley, England has received a bionic butt. Ged Galvin, 55, now presses a remote control to open his bowels and go to the toilet. The IT project manager from Barnsley, south Yorkshire, almost died when an off-duty police officer pulled out in front of him in her car. Mr [...] It’s inventor’s name is Professor Nutt, but don’t hold that against him. By harnessing benzodiazepines like diazepam, the chief ingredient in anti-anxiety med Valium, Nutt sees a future of drinking without becoming addicted, belligerent or — and here’s the kicker — intoxicated. Using one of thousands of possible benzos, researchers are working to tailor a colorless, [...] Do we need to send a manned spacecraft to Mars — for real this time? Frank Stratford at The Space Review makes his case: The difference is Mars is a whole other planet, not just a distant land. It can be seen as a challenge—an extreme challenge—and it is, so why go? It will [...] As most everyone here knows, the norm – in geologic terms – is for the earth to be in an ice age, not our current comfy, warmy present. The present era, known as an interglacial period (this one is called the Holocence) has lasted a bit over 10,000 years now and, based on the record, [...] Our man Rich has been johnny-on-the-spot regarding the junk science of climate change — or man-made global warming or whatever. This science has not been the only place for shenanigans of course. The largest area of junk science since alchemy has come from the broad amorphous field called the social sciences (so-called) including [...] “any resemblance to cardboard is purely coincidental” For those of you who many not read every post and every comment (I know, I skip over most of Floyd and JohnFN’s stuff too) you may have missed a comment from trzupr to one of his seventeen siblings regarding something called, “oplatek.” Being a Polish word there [...] (And you know what the “F” is for). Thanks to Veruckt, we have the full text of the House version of the Health Care Bill. As a technical sort of fellow, I decided to analyze it in a statistical sort of way. So, after translating it into a text document, and with the help of Mr. [...] As we continue to work out the technical kinks at our new Right Talk Radio home, an early Christmas/late Hanukkah present for our loyal RF3D listeners: week 2.2’s interviews, minus the in-between chatter from me and Floyd. Some call it a blessing and in lieu of our second unanticipated delay, I won’t argue that point. Also, [...] If you’ve never heard the learned Lord Christopher Monckton discuss global warming, this exchange with an earnest, but deluded Greenpeacenik makes for very entertaining viewing:
Share on Facebook Another post over at Front Page on (what else?) climate change. And is it the most-viewed piece at Front Page today? Why yes indeedy it is. Thanks for asking. And did I steal the topic from my brother Stosh and his excellent post of last week? I don’t know what you’re talking about. All of this occurred while I [...] …Robust Martin Hutchinson has an enlightening post at the Bear’s Lair blog. In it, he shows how the recent economic downturn is related to the coming one (the one that will come if AGW-alarmists get their way). Faulty modelling is to blame: The denouement in both cases may also turn out to be similar. In Wall [...] “On the 3rd planet from the Sun, I’ve been trying to get the funky job done!” Wow! Mighty Skip has just made my month! And in a month that includes Christmas that’s sayin’ something’. I really like James Brown and I am a big fan of his song, “Gravity.” I hesitate to [...] From The Times (of London): The Met Office has embarked on an urgent exercise to bolster the reputation of climate-change science after the furore over stolen e-mails. More than 1,700 scientists have agreed to sign a statement defending the “professional integrity” of global warming research. They were responding to a round-robin request from the Met Office, which [...] Smug? Ain’t no smugnosity here! (trzupr here: Stosh from da Sticks is back, with some more high falutin ideas, thinkin that a doctorate from MIT qualifies him to argue climate science with a Nobel Prize winner. For my sake, indulge his fantasies…) Excluding Al Franken (and as a general principle, that’s not a bad idea), [...] There are certain themes that the MSM continue to perpetuate, more desperately than ever in the wake of Climategate, in an effort to sell man-made global warming to the public. It is, in a way, more maddening than the efforts of the alarmists to deceive us. Journalists, we have been led to believe, are supposed [...] According to Live Science, more plants are meat eaters than originally thought. The list may include potatoes and petunias. “We may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think,” said botanist Mark Chase, Keeper of the Jodrell Laboratory at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in England. I would say more about this topic, but [...] Paparazzi and bored sportswriters are not the only ones to profit off the troubles of Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordgren — no those greedy bastards who write physics books in layman’s terms also profit. This is disgusting. It’s not as illustrious as having the president publicly declare he’s reading your book — as [...] Clark Hoyt, the public editor of The New York Times, has a column up about the global-warming hoaxers and his paper’s coverage of them. [AGW skeptics] say the e-mail messages show a conspiracy among scientists to overstate human influence on the climate — and some accuse The Times of mishandling the story. Some say Andrew Revkin, the [...] Is the scientific community about to be rocked by another scandal? As crisis-oriented as “climatology” and environmental sciences have been with the global warming and climate change agenda genetics has been held out as the new wave of scientific wonders and miracles. Genetic research will make and keep me skinny, it will help [...] I hope I don’t offend anyone; this is a sincere question and I am very interested in learning what y’all (you’se guys for Rich and Stosh, you’ins for Eric) have to say. I haven’t looked at the numbers but there is no question our nation graduates way, way, way too many people in certain majors. [...] What has happened to Sammy Sosa since he retired from baseball? No really. WTF happened to Sammy Sosa?!? So in football season I’m a little slow on the baseball news. Holy crap! If I used that skin cream you could see my organs. I’d be like Slim Goodbody — except I’m not slim [...] It seems that New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research (NIWA) is under fire for “cooking the numbers” — a la the East Anglia Climate Research Unit. The New Zealand Government’s chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show a global warming trend that wasn’t there. The [...] I’ve addressed this before, but one of my biggest pet peeves and one of the top 5 threats to our nation behind lawyers, Obama’s domestic policy, Obama’s foreign policy, and “moderate Republicans” are soft scientists (social, climate, et al) and bullshit statistics (they are joined like a good marriage and thus go together). Only [...] “Whatever it is, I’m against it!” Alright students, listen up. I’ve had all I can take of this Climate Change/Global Warming/Ice Caps receding/El Nina/El Nino/CO2 Good/CO2 Bad/Carbon Footprint/Carbon Offset/Cap and Trade/Crap and Trade nonsense. In the words of Popeye the Sailor, “that’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!” I know this is [...] Cory Doctorow and the other so-called “freedom-loving” douchebags at BoingBoing put the recent hack of the East Anglian Climate Research Unit into context for us. A huge amount of email from the East Anglia Climate Research Unit was hacked and released onto the web, causing much rejoicing from the climate change denialists. They read through the [...] Rom Houben had a a car accident in 1983. Doctors in Brussels thought he was in a coma and vegetative. His family was convinced he was paralyzed, but still conscious. Who was right? Doctors with degrees out the Yangtze or the family using their intuition and common sense? Professor Steven Laureys [...]
It is not earth shattering news for me to tell you that Jesse Jackson is a reverend, but did you also know that he was a Genetic Engineer specializing in cutting edge ethnic identification theories never previously considered? Me neither. Yet on Wednesday November the 18th when Rep. Arthur Davis (D-Ala.) informed the Congressional Black [...] Canadian scientists have invented a phaser that can cause paralysis… in worms. It’s is kinda ironic given that Star Trek: The Motion Picture paralyzed a lot of worms too. Researchers have now found a way to paralyse tiny worms when they expose them to ultraviolet light. Even when the ultraviolet light was turned off the animals [...] Barry O took a drive-by comment crap on this post. And that’s cool – I share the odd affection that some of my fellow threedonians have for our only lib-lurker (THAT WE KNOW OF!!!) But, in this case, the lawn he dumped on is mine. As everyone should know by now (there will be a [...] Ireland’s Independent has an article on Phelim McAleer and his wife, Ann McIlhenny and the response they are getting to their documentary, “Not Evil, Just Wrong.” Their documentary highlights errors in Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth.” Read the whole thing, but here are some highlights: Reaction to the film, which was three years in the making, has been [...] I’d been saving this story for a “Sunday Science” post, but Rich’s reporting of the latest problems with the Large Hadron Collider makes this too good to wait. From the New York Times, about a month ago: A pair of otherwise distinguished physicists have suggested that the hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the [...] |
