The Grub Street Plumber

The very best thing about the beach.

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.

(Found here.)

"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.

Claudius Marcellus...

...is now dead.

Well, technically he died some 2,200 years ago. But for me, after tonight re-reading about his life as told by Plutarch*, Claudius Marcellus has died.

(Plutarch's "Lives" may be found here.)

Obama and Abortion.

This is precisely why I cannot--indeed, will not--vote for Obama. The smears against him, which I found here, are irrelevant by comparison.

Obama/Hillary 2008

"I think Hillary will be Obama's VP on the Democratic ticket; and, if so, they'll win the White House!"*

--Original quote by the Grub Street Plumber

Whew! Glad to have that off my chest.

*Obviously I hope this doesn't happen, but I do think that it will.

Why I do not support "Earth Day."

Other than the obvious answer, "'cause it's silly," my reasons are as follows.

1. Because the philosophy inherent to earth day is in error.

1a. Because God commanded men to have dominion* over the earth, not "preserve" it.

--*Gen. 1:28
"subdue": kaw-bash' A primitive root; to tread down; hence negatively to disregard; positively to conquer, subjugate, violate: - bring into bondage, force, keep under, subdue, bring into subjection.

"dominion": raw-daw' A primitive root; to tread down, that is, subjugate; specifically to crumble off: - (come to, make to) have dominion, prevail against, reign, (bear, make to) rule, (-r, over), take.)

2. Because the Earth was made specifically for man, Ps. 115:16; though God owns it and the people on it.

4. Because mankind cannot control the earth, ie: environment, only God does. (Ps. 65:9.)

Do not mistake my meaning. Christians are to be good stewards. Earth day, by going beyond that, becomes silliness at best and heresy at the worst. You can read how Earth day goes beyond it here.

UPDATE:

Here's another great post about earth day.

An exercise in futility.

Here.

Just one more proof to reprove "Global Warming" zealotry.

"Global warming 55 million years ago suggests a high climate sensitivity to carbon dioxide, according to research led by Mark Pagani, associate professor of geology and geophysics at Yale and published in the December 8 issue of Science."

(Emphasis Mine, Source.)

Why don't you believe in "global warming?" you ask. Here's why. What cannot have happened 55 million years ago, cannot suggest anything.

Oh, I believe in factual global warming. I'm dang certain the earth is gonna get hotter. Nearly hot as hell. And soon.

It just ain't gonna happen how or why everybody thinks it is.

*HT to True Anomaly for making me remember.

UPDATE:

LOL! Apparently I must still believe the earth is flat. I am part of a "tiny, tiny minority." It's irrelevant, I suppose, that a minority like this hasn't existed since about 3 B.C.**

**My apologies to readers outside of Tennessee; if any. We are not all as confused as our former Vice President.

Wealth, Sewage, and Sewerage.

"Wealth brings affluence; sewage is effluence."

(Source)

Just thought you'd like to know. Although, being a plumber, I do have one further thought to add:

Effluence requires sewerage.
