It’s been over a month…

…since we have posted here. My apologies to anyone who may check in once and awhile.

Most of my posts have been at North of the Shire lately.

There is something that we have been watching closely. That is the political landscape of the United States. Today I heard the Glen Beck show on Fox over the satellite. Occasionally I think Glen Beck has been meandering around in the dark a bit, searching for answers rather than providing them. And, in some sense that is the charm of his show that he doesn’t pretend to have all the answers all of the time. »» It’s been over a month…

Dick Smythe is … predictable.

For many years Dick Smythe worked in the Toronto area in news and commentary. His voice was distinctive, a great radio voice, and his politics were always to the left. Now he lives up north and submits commentary clips to the premiere talk station out of Toronto.

He is mostly predictable, although once in awhile he will surprise the listener. Today he weighed in on global warming and made some glaring assumptions. In his remarks he took shots at me as a member of the growing group that regards the man-made global warming alarmism a monstrous hoax. Let’s call those who follow the party line on this the “Warmist Alarmists”. Here’s his commentary; »» Dick Smythe is … predictable.

Kind of like trying to get a Health Care Reform Bill through Congress.

Just another question…or two…

…to our AGW true believing friends;

What is the perfect temperature? (or the right temperature)

What is the perfect carbon level in the atmosphere?

Just asking.

Hey! Al Gore! Leave them kids alone!
All in all that hockey stick is a fraud
All in all your hockey stick is a fraud.

I think you might know the tune…think Pink.

From Copenhagen, Cornwall Alliance
