Pretty much sums it up.

"The Declaration of Independence, think I could tell you that first sentence, but then I'm lost. I can't begin to count the theories I've had pounded in my head that I forgot.

I don't remember all that Spanish, or the Gettysburg address, but there is one speech from high school I'll never forget.

'Come on in boy sit on down and tell me about yourself. So you like my daughter do you now? Yeah we think she's something else. She's her daddy's girl; her momma's world; she deserves respect. That's what she'll get, ain't it son?

Hey y'all run along and have some fun. I'll see you when you get back. Bet I'll be up all night still cleanin' this gun'."

--Rodney Atkins

"Profit [sic] of Doom."

They mean, of course, Mr. Gore.

"PSYCHIATRISTS have detected the first case of "climate change delusion"..."
(Andrew Bolt, from the Herald Sun.)

It's about time somebody called it what it is: A DELUSION. But that's not the worst of it.

"And here is a senior Sydney Morning Herald journalist aghast at the horrors described in the report on global warming released on Friday by Rudd's guru, Professor Ross Garnaut: "Australians must pay more for petrol, food and energy or ultimately face a rising death toll . . ."
Wow. Pay more for food or die. Is that Rudd's next campaign slogan?

Of course, we can laugh at this -- and must -- but the price for such folly may soon be your job, or at least your cash."

(IBID.)

Heck, that won't happen to us...right?!

Green Chattanooga

This (pdf) is the biggest crock of crap I've read in loooong time. And trust me, I know crap. I'm a plumber.

"All I can say to the polar bears is one thing: EVOLVE!"

Very funny.

(Originally found here, where, apparently, only 25% of the world is actually green.)

"All Hail The Sun God!"

I think they mean Mr. Gore.

"All hail Gore the Sun God, He's a real smart God, Blah Blah Blah!"

And while I find the sarcasm quite amusing, the article itself is much better.

"A new paper published by the Astronomical Society of Australia is warning of upcoming global cooling due to lessened solar activity."
(Originally found here.)

I guess my next problem will be: Is he Surya, Sol Invictus, Ra, or Koalemos?

Choices, choices.

Great is the Lord...

...and greatly to be praised!

In the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth!

Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north

The city of the Great King.

(One day soon, that Great King will return. It's a song too. And I was singing it just now, so I thought I'd share.)

California, Blindness, and God's wrath.

What is happening here is shameful for America, shameful to God, and--though they do not know it--shameful for those who participate.

In this case, however, it is a symptom and not a cause of God's wrath.

May God also forgive me for my sins against His Holiness. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The fact is that there has been tremendous pressure placed on scientists to join the global warming . any scientist who does not agree with the current global warming assumptions is excluded from the discussions and his grants and funding are cut off or not renewed.

You realize that Kathy Griffin is Jewish, right?
