Glowbull Warming Daily Briefing
So much for gorebal warming, eh? Temp here in southern Minnesota is 0 degrees with no relief in sight. As to the Dakotas getting hammered by a late winter blizzard, well that’s to be expected. Lived at Ellsworth AFB as a kid and remember a Mother’s Day blizzard that dumped drifts of four feet high in the front yard. The snow was gone within just a few days, but even still.
Crud. None of it coming our way (Maryland)
Looks like my folks (Kentucky) are gonna get a bit. Mom will get to watch the geese fly to the pond only to go skidding across the ice a bit longer.Yepper I bet Al’theskyisfallingandit’sallhumansfault’Gore is so damn happy the Anna Nicole Smith ‘Whose Your Daddy’ Show is on right now, so he isn’t being panned for this current weather situation. We tied a daytime record yesterday 1 degree, set it this morning at 0 which aren’t factoring in the wind chills which are -4 to -10. The snow is still frozen to the ground - oh did I tell you about the ice storm that happened nanoseconds after the 4-6 inches of snow? We have a tree that split (well it’s actually on the neighbors side of the fence. Half still standing, so to speak and half over the fence. It’s so damn cold and caked in ice - the chain saw won’t stay running and won’t cut into it before freezing up again. . . We will have to go after the standing half too, as it is now resting on the gazbo roof. . .And did I mention that we are predicted to get another 4 inches of snow today? The snowplow pile at the end of the drive is about my height. And we not only are supposed to have more snow, but such winds that the wind chill will once again be in the double digits.
So I guess we aren’t making it to the 40 degrees they predicted last week for today. My hubby is thinking of switching to meterology - only job that you can get paid for even when you are consistantly wrong. Guess that is why Gore and others are jumping on the GlowBull Warning bandwagon - get the bucks for just yelling long enough. . .
All that flying around with a doped out co pilot is clearly having a negative effect on our climate.
Can’t you just jet set back and forth between engagements like the true greenies?

DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP
You’ve got to hand it to John Murtha and the anti-war crowd. They know how to get what they want even if it means using the most dirty, political tricks in the book. Here’s Murtha’s latest deal, which will be pushed into legislation within the next 30 days:Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) plans to introduce legislation designed to halt the Bush administration’s troop “surge” in Iraq by restricting military deployments - a move he is painting as one that will “support” U.S. forces. “The legislation I’m putting together ... puts restrictions on the president, on the administration, saying you can’t send people back into battle until they’ve had a year at home,” Murtha, a vocal critic of the Iraq war, who chairs the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, said Thursday.
Speaking in an interview released on the anti-war MoveCongress.com website, Murtha said he would attach a provision to an upcoming $93 billion supplemental spending bill for Iraq and Afghanistan. If passed, he said, the provision would be “the most important vote in changing the direction of this war,” because it would “limit the options of the president and should stop the surge.”
Apart from the year-at-home requirement, the provision would also state that combat troops “must have the equipment and the training, and they must be certified by the chiefs of the various services before they can go back,” the congressman said. Murtha added that his proposal would prevent the Bush administration from extending the term of enlistment for military personnel.
“Now, if they can’t extend people, if they can’t send people back that don’t have equipment and so forth, they can’t continue the surge,” he said. “If this resolution passes the House and the Senate, the president could veto it, but then he wouldn’t have any money,” Murtha noted. “What we’re trying to do is make sure people understand we’re supporting the troops, we’re protecting the troops, but on the other hand, we’re going to stop this surge. The other thing we’re doing is saying, no permanent bases.”
Here’s what the conservative political pundits had to say on Brit Hume’s “Special Report” on FOX last night:
MORT KONDRACKE: That would deny funds for any troops that go to Iraq unless they meet certain benchmarks of training, of equipment, of — they have to be back in the states a year, you can’t send them over there if they haven’t had their years rest. You can’t extend troops beyond a certain length of time service in Iraq.Look, I mean it’s pretty clever on two different levels. One, it pretends to be for the troops, I mean, to make sure that they’re trained adequately and rested adequately and all this. And it’s also appears to be for the troops in that if you vote against the supplemental with this in it, you’ll be against funding the troops while they’re in combat. But it is truly anti-troop, because you’ve got — the surge will be well underway and what Murtha is going to try to do is deny reinforcements for these troops . . . leaving them more vulnerable than they were.
NINA EASTON: What happens if it passes both Houses and it lands on the president’s desk and the president says, “I’m sorry, I’m commander in chief, this is micromanaging the war. I’m going to ignore this.” He might not even bother to veto it and then it goes to the courts.
FRED BARNES: This is way too clever by a half for two reasons. One, it’s clear what Democrats are doing. . . . And secondly. . . in micromanaging the war with all these restrictions and so on that Mort talked about, they risk taking ownership of this war. I mean, this is Bush’s war, it’s the Republican’s war, but if they’re going to apply all these standards to it and micromanage the war . . . it could become their war.
So you see, Murtha is trying to back the President and Republicans into a corner from which there is no exit, at least none without shooting themselves in the foot. Oh, it’s a brilliant plant - you have to give that to him ... but is it the right thing to do? Not by a long shot - but when has that ever stopped Democrats in Congress? Murtha himself is on an arrogant ego trip in an effort to go toe-to-toe with the President Of The United States. During a time of war. For political advantage. In a more sensible world I would just say shoot the son of a bitch and send me a bill for the bullet.
Be careful, which the glowball warmening crowd does not do, to not mix up weather with climate. Weather is what is going on outside now; climate is a trend over time.January 2007 was “the warmest on record,” a record only 127 years old. That is weather. February will, likely, be one of the coldest on record. This will not be touted as evidence against glowball warmening.
Trends in the last nearly 10 years are downward in global temperature. Studies show big holes in the warming caused by humans theory. These, too, are not evidence against glowball warmening.
So, don’t be like the GW heads in the sand crowd.
YIKES! Sorry, got other crap in there from Word. Sorry.
