Turns out, for all of the hoopla surrounding the report, most of the projections were revised downward. From Opinion Journal:Take rising sea levels. In its 2001 report, the U.N.'s best high-end estimate of the rise in sea levels by 2100 was three feet. Lord Monckton notes that the upcoming report's high-end best estimate is 17 inches, or half the previous prediction. Similarly, the new report

I still don't buy it. What continues to confound me is that people who should know better, don't. Take Pam, for instance. Pam is a real-life, living and breathing actual flesh and blood SCIENTIST. She's even got a lab and everything. A Ph.D.! As such, she should know better. My impression of science is not that we should all agree on a conclusion, but that we should attempt to prove or

I tell you, when I said that Biden, Hillary, and Edwards were going to come after Obama, I had NO idea that it would start so soon. Hillary trying to pin "madrassa" on him was nothing- Biden went and played the ARTICULATE card.“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy"Any card-carrying cracker KNOWS that it's verboten to

I no longer doubt that the ACC officials are firmly in the Duke camp- they put WAY too much time back on the clock after Vernon Hamilton's three-pointer. 4.4 seconds? More like 3.2, from what I saw. For goodness sake, he had time to set his feet! There's NO way he caught the inbounds pass, set his feet, and launched a three, which then sailed through the net, in 0.6 seconds! Call me crazy,

I've got some sort of head congestion thing going on that is making me absolutely miserable. I don't feel BAD, like sick BAD, but it sucks ass not being able to breathe normally. It's amazing the way my nose can fluctuate from completely clogged to unclogged to completely clogged again in a minute flat.

I heard, in passing, on the radio that temperature increases occur before increases in carbon dioxide levels. A bit of googling tells me that an article in Science, published March 12, 1999, demonstrated this phenomena. I don't know that this is true, mind you, just wondering. This, I think, is the abstract to the article:Air trapped in bubbles in polar ice cores constitutes an archive for the

Apparently, I'm now a racist.On the bright side, though- I've been endowed with the power to make people lose hope in our country, so that's something, huh?This all goes back to the post about Barack Obama declaring that he might run for President of the United States. I speculated that this would be seen as "uppity" and would be met by attacks from his Democrat competition (Biden, Clinton, and

Let's say you discover a rash, somewhere on your body. To make this interesting, let's assume that the rash is down there. (You know where down there is, don't play coy..) So you rush off to the doctor, and he prescribes some medicine to clear up the rash. Hands you a slip of paper with a bunch of scrawl, some Latin mumbo-jumbo, and off you go to the Pharmacy for your medicine. Pop a couple

Avoid Romania when seeking cut-rate testicle surgery...Surgeon Naum Ciomu, who had been suffering from stress at the time, had been operating on patient Nelu Radonescu, 36, to correct a testicular malformation when he suddenly lost his temper.Grabbing a scalpel, he sliced off the penis in front of shocked nursing staff, and then placed it on the operating table where he chopped it into small

There's been talk lately of a re-introduction of the Fairness Doctrine, a policy that requires opposing viewpoints to be presented in an "honest, equal, and balanced manner." The repeal of this doctrine, during the Reagan Administration, led to the explosion of conservative talk radio, with Rush Limbaugh leading the charge.One of the arguments for the Fairness Doctrine is that corporate

I'll say it now, so that I can say that I told you so later...We're about to see what happens when black folks get too uppity in the Democrat Party. You may think I'm being harsh, here, but think about it. Do you think that Hillary!, Biden, and John Edwards are going to just step aside and let Obama take the prize? If you do, you're a fool. They are going to SAVAGE him. It's going to be ugly,

In response to the wierd things my son does on a daily basis, a friend of mine recently sent me an email (with the pics for proof) that I am not alone in this world with this one:Hey Aaron, Only because LL (name changed to protect the innocent) has done and said some crazy crap, it makes me think my kid is slightly less weird for requesting (not kidding here, attached the wish list as proof)

If Bush, in lowering tax rates, actually increased tax receipts, did he really lower taxes?If the Democrat Party gets its way, and raises tax rates, and this, in turn, lowers tax receipts, won't the Democrats, in essence, have lowered taxes?This whole concept baffles me. We conservatives cheer Bush for lowering taxes, when in reality he's soaking the taxpayers for more money. Sure, he's

I used to imagine liberalism as a fantasy land, like living a 24 hour hallucination instead of actually having to see how the world really works. Now, I think that it must be terribly depressing.

Well, kinda. Maybe, sorta. Not so much. I've realized that I'm a fairly uninteresting person when you subtract the militant chickenhawk extremist right-wing fascist political views. Or at least, I'm less inspired. So I've got that against me. I've got the weekend off, but Kristie's working so I'm not allowed to be happy about it.

I didn't have the slightest idea that one of the most expensive parts of the wedding is the photographer. It's not something I ever considered, this being the first time I actually had to help plan a wedding. And before I get myself in trouble, let me clarify- by "help" I mean "use Google to find stuff on the internet." But we're finding prices for photographers in the neighborhood of $2000-

Not really, but this interested me as a theory.I expect that Bush is pushing a surge because he knows it will inflame and harden Democratic opposition, and as a result the Democrats will force Bush (kicking and screaming, oh my) into withdrawing from Iraq. Bush will end up with what he wants - Iraq no longer hung around the Republican Party’s neck like a rotting albatross going into 2008 - but
