THE Inconvenient Truth

Inconvenient facts for the crowd that claims that skeptics have their heads in the sand:

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.

The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.

 

The Ticket

Reality check: It's going to be Romney and he's going to pick Mitch Daniels as his VP...or maybe Paul Ryan.

Juan Epstein

Sweathog Juan Epstein has died. He is survived by Mr. Kotter, Vinnie Barbarino, Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington, and of course, Arnold Horshack.

Bev Who ?

Let's face it, Perdue quit because governing is hard and she wasn't up to the task. This was a substance-less term because of a substance-less governor.

Perdue will be a footnote as the first female governor of North Carolina, but aside from that, her term is going to be forgettable because it WAS the most forgettable and meaningless administration in modern North Carolina history.

UPDATE TO MY COMMENT BELOW:

Heath Shuler is leaning towards running. He would be the most competitive candidate the Democrats could front. This is still Pat McCrory's race to lose though.

Remember Us ?

That whole "Occupy" thing seems to have faded. Well at least what little credibility they had in the first place has faded. Events have revealed what I said all along: this is the same old tired group of Left wing activists we've always known. The only time you hear about them now is when one of their flock gets arrested.

I'm sure that the number of arrests of Occupiers vs. Tea Partiers isn't even close, but the media just can't adopt that lawless and violent theme when it comes to liberal activists.

But we know. America knows.

Sometimes They All Get It Right

Not the same opinions, but the same conclusion.

Legends

Cale Yarborough was one of the toughest men ever to drive a race car, and Darrell Waltrip has been of the greatest ambassadors for the sport behind the wheel and in the television booth. Congratulations to both on being inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame last night.
