There is no global warming, John, just poorly placed weather stations. Over half of them are sitting in parking lots, or on roof tops or next to airconditioners. It's an illusion. The data is bad.

Scientists are citing 'rapid climate change in a fast-warming region of Antarctica' as the cause of an initial collapse of the Wilkins Ice Shelf. The damage got started at the end of February when an iceberg dropped off and triggered the 'runaway disintegration' of a 160-square-mile portion of the 5,282-square-mile shelf.

The ice shelf, which scientists speculate has floated in the Antarctic region for hundreds of years, is succumbing to recent rises in temperature in the area--an average of 0.9 degree Fahrenheit every 10 years for the last 50 years.

McCain suddenly an economist?Mar 26th, 2008 - 19:14:36

Per the story:

'The United States must also help guide the vast Indian and Chinese economies into the international market, McCain said.'

---------------

www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2007/12/mccain_its_a bou.html

'McCain suggested to reporters Monday that American consumer culture offered a short cut to expertise. 'The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should,' McCain said. 'I've got Greenspan's book.''

(He also needed Lieberman's help in discerning Sunni from Shia recently)

McCain deserves credit for his own life experiences, but that does NOT make him a President. McCain offers nothing except a continuation of the past 8 years.

Obama's spending will ruin the countryMar 26th, 2008 - 23:33:53

'McCain suddenly an economist?'

Compared to his competitors he is. Both the cackling shrew and the America hating thief want to bankrupt the country by creating gigantic entitlement programs that will run our national debt up over our GDP by the end of their first term. Not to mention what $500 a barrel oil will do to to the US economy after the liar or malcontent in chief turn over Iraq to al Qaeda.

Republicans yesterday forced Sen. Barack Obama to vote against what they labeled his own $1.4 trillion spending plan, cobbled together from his presidential campaign promises — one of a series of budget votes that will provide political fodder for the rest of the election year.

Mr. Obama and Sens. John McCain and Hillary Rodham Clinton jetted back to Washington yesterday to vote during the annual budget free-for-all that compresses votes on a host of contentious issues into a single day.

That meant taking positions on border security, energy independence, President Bush's tax cuts and Democrats' spending plans, each of which might come back to haunt the three major-party candidates still vying for the chief executive's slot, and could be used in this year's Senate elections as well.

The Arizona senator voted for every one of the Bush tax cuts offered yesterday, while Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama only voted to extend those for low-income workers and families with children.

All three teamed up late last night to take on the congressional sacred cow of pork-barrel spending, but failed spectacularly, losing 71-29 in their effort to enact a one-year ban on so-called earmarks.

'We found out tonight that there's only one place in America that doesn't get it,' Mr. McCain said after the vote.

He did better gaining support among his fellow Republicans — 22 more of whom voted for the ban — than did his Democratic opponents, who were only able to muster three other Democrats. They were all joined by Sen. Joe Lieberman, Connecticut independent.
[...]
Republicans' 'Obama spend-o-rama' amendment epitomized the day.

Sen. Wayne Allard, the Colorado Republican who is retiring after this year, offered the amendment, though as he explained on the floor to Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, 'It wasn't my idea.'

That came after Mr. Schumer, walking by his desk, was heard in the gallery telling Mr. Allard, 'You're such a...' as his voice trailed off and became unintelligible to those in the galleries surrounding the Senate floor.

Mrs. Clinton, eager to make sure her opposition was recorded, voted twice — once from the desks and, in case the clerk didn't notice, she strode into the well of the Senate to be certain.

Near the end of the allotted time, Mr. Obama, who had been in an office just off the Senate floor conferring with a group of senators who back his presidential bid, strode to the floor with those supporters and all of them voted no.

The Illinois senator looked over the chamber and demanded to know who orchestrated the stunt. Spotting Mr. Allard, he yelled to him, 'You working this hard?'

'Vote yes,' Mr. Allard shot back — though even he didn't vote for the amendment himself, drawing a rebuke from Sen. Barbara Boxer, California Democrat: 'Did you vote against your own amendment?'

'The ice shelf, which scientists speculate has floated in the Antarctic region for hundreds of years, is succumbing to recent rises in temperature in the area--an average of 0.9 degree Fahrenheit every 10 years for the last 50 years.'

One of the most telling things of the 21st century is the information age and how dildos like the one above, with all of this capability, still cannot read.

The word above to scrutinize is 'speculate'

That is not scientific fact.

Go back to the 5th grade.

Poor Johnny, running the playbook.
