Some more Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change scientists may have been naughty.Here's the latest update in the Tree Ring Circus (Mark Steyn's term):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 scandal breaks as fears grow worldwide that corruption of climate science is

From the geniuses at Minnesotans For Global Warming:Just think of all the grant, subsidy, and porkulus money that disappeared as a result of these guys cooking the books.We owe the Hockey Team a debt we can never repay. (For those new to the Climategate scandal, the "Hockey Team" refers to the folks who created Al Gore's hockey stick chart showing an upward spike in earth's temperature.)

You know those scenes in the Sci-Fi movies where the hero does some sort of horrific damage to the villain, and the bad guy is revealed to be (gasp!) a robot who keeps repeating the same stock phrases, or merely repeating nonsense, or not making any sense at all? Remember that scene in The Wizard Of Oz, where Toto pulls back the drapes to reveal Professor Marvel madly turning wheels and pushing

I am the owner of me.You are the owner of you.I don't care what you do to yourself, as long as it doesn't hurt me or mine. If I know you, and you run out of money, or need help with hospital bills, or groceries, and you call me? I'll probably help you. I really will. I just don't care to funnel the money through a den of thieves who have proven to be totally incapable of spending money

From the 50 Books blog comes a story often attributed to a Winston Churchill/Lady Astor conversation. The 50 Books Blogger attributes it to George Bernard Shaw:A certain gentleman inquired of a lady whether she would be willing to sleep with him for 50,000 pounds. After some hesitation, the lady replied that she supposed she would, in consideration of the magnitude of the offer. Then he asked

Much has been written and debated about President Obama's habit of bowing to assorted princes, emperors, and other hereditary lottery winners.(This is the same guy who gave Britain's leaders a DVD collection and an iPod. I'm generally against any tax increases, but I'd be willing to make an exception to buy Obama a new Protocol Droid.)Here's a clip that clarifies the situation, relative to the

Have you ever gone dove hunting on a baited field? It's not much fun. There are so many birds, that you don't get a feeling of accomplishment when you bring one down. Ever shot a deer from a herd that was enclosed in a small barbed-wire fence? Me neither. Hope I never do. Have you ever gotten a fishing license, gotten your poles, lures, bait and boat together, and then gone to dip a few fish out

Idea shamelessly stolen from a friend of Denny. Here's a link to Psalm 109:8 if you can't Google it. I don't want to associate myself with any of the verses that follow #8, BTW.
