Global Warming...

Maybe Obama doesn't read the Dailymail Online??

The house of cards keeps falling apart.

Frankly I think that most liberals don't have any intellectual curiosity. Heck, nany times they don't even think, it's how they "feel" about something.

Not all mind you but a very large number.

Dangerous.  I guess a lot of groups tend to jump on bandwagons without much thinking.

Reminds me of a question the other night on that O'Reilly Factor segment.  The guest was asked why )according to a poll) only 32% of Republicans believe in the Global Warming line, but around 55% of Independents do...but almost 90% of Democrats swallow it hook, line and sinker.

The consensus was that it's "probably" due to where people get their news.  Liberals tend to get most of their news from the MSM, which is primarily made up of liberal newscasters. 

I had lots of help. Part Google. And part because yesterday we were looking for an Amish bakery in the country (the youngun and I) and passed a flock of sheep....and the sheep hit the fan.  It's been fun...like getting a new fleece on life.

Maybe they would smarten up if they'd watch the shear factor?  (baaaaad!)
As the old saying goes, all's wool that ends wool!

But, mom always told me to respect my elders, so I'll give up.

It's the right thing to do. But, sigh, the agony of de-bleat.

Even when giving up you're burying me in a lambside...

I'll give you credit for your shear determination.  Do you find these puns on the Wool Street Journal?  Wherever...it's why I like reading your posts so I can keep up with the flocks of life.
No doubt to be contin-ewed...

Pull the wool over....

Don, ewe are so baaaaaad.

Something I never thought about till reading this morning's big city newspaper...regarding banning CFC's. That stuff, in air conditioning and spray cans that is destroying the ozone...also used in medical inhalers. Or was.

Ozone fears put inhalers at risk.

Parents blame switch for daughter's death.

Bottom line, from a long story, the new propellant doesn't work nearly as well as the older.

Goodness gracious...global warming causes that (sudo) also?!  

Ah. That's, uh, been a while since I've seen one of those. I think when I was a kid the Rexall (sp?) drug store uptown had a soda fountain.

Actually, I can still tell the difference between a "can" and from the fountain. May not be able to side-by-side, but for some reason I sure can when we go out. "Canned" Coke about gags me; just does. But, I can handle Coke from a foutain when we go out to eat.  Not sure why. Otherwise, I'm a Pepsi guy.

I was thinking a load of suger and caffeine but I be wrong.

Caffeine Content Of Popular Drinks

A 12 glass of tea has more! Wow, and I thought that tea was a low caffeine drink. 

And speaking of coke here in Texas it used to be a BC powder but I hardly seem them any longer, can't remember the last time but they still seem to be around. Another when I was a kid, and this was a real treat, was a coke with a bag of peanuts dumped in it. The salt seemed to turn it flat and it was almost like a non-carbonated soda fountain coke.

And man could I tell the difference between a bottled coke and a soda fountain coke. Never figured why because surely the syrup was the same but there was a difference. Even so I'd take a cherry phosphate over a coke any day.

Kids may have iPods but sheesh, they don't know what they're missing.

My take on kidney stones in that area of the country is the high consumption of soft drinks and specifically coke, which, I have heard, causes kidney stones.

When I lived in Georgia I was amazed by the number of people that had a coke for breakfast. They thought it was perfectly normal and routine.

Throw in a Goodie powder and they were in heaven.

Strange. That's a new article by the date, but when I googled "kidney stone belt" it's old news, dating back to July 2008.

Interesting, there is a Kidney Stone Belt

The southeastern area of the United States is known as the Kidney Stone Belt because of the relative high ratio of people suffering from kidney stones in those states. North Carolina (where this author, a fellow kidney store sufferer happens to live) has more kidney stone cases per capita than any other state. Several factors probably come into play to create this situation. One is the typical southern diet which is high in green vegetables and brewed tea - both of which are high in oxalates. The second is the hot climate which causes increased amounts of perspiration and loss of body fluid. And finally, modern life styles often reduce physical activity.

  Pretty hard when truth just slams you right in the face.

Ouch.  That would only be fair!!

Oh dear. Wonder how that would affect me on days like yesterday?  Had a Mexican meal the night before and I must confess, I didn't even like being around myself. (And no GaxX or anything stashed away.)

That sounds like it belongs right next to the Truth Commission.

Now that sounds a bit cold.

You're done for to be sure.

None of that here, we've got rain in the forecast for the next three days and warmer temps as well (overnight lows in the 60s vs. the mid 40s).

Didn't realize he started off so young. Very accomplished fellow.

RIP Michael Crichton.

Perhaps one of the best yet ever on globull warming.

'Aliens Cause Global Warming'

Wow, great story.

There have been a lot of pretty extreme weather cycles and I don't think it's any secret but I guess it doesn't go along with man made climate change so it's rarely mentioned.
