My Way News - McCain: Rumsfeld Was One of the Worst

My Way News - McCain: Rumsfeld Was One of the Worst: "Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Monday the war in Iraq has been mismanaged for years and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will be remembered as one of the worst in history.
'We are paying a very heavy price for the mismanagement - that's the kindest word I can give you - of Donald Rumsfeld, of this war,' the Arizona senator told an overflow crowd of more than 800 at a retirement community near Hilton Head Island, S.C. 'The price is very, very heavy and I regret it enormously.'"

Inventor of the TV Remote Dies

Inventor of the TV Remote Dies: "Hit the mute button for a moment of silence: The co-inventor of the TV remote, Robert Adler, has died."
But he downplayed his role when asked if he felt his invention helped raise a new generation of couch potatoes.
"People ask me all the time — 'Don't you feel guilty for it?' And I say that's ridiculous," he said. "It seems reasonable and rational to control the TV from where you normally sit and watch television."

Daniel W. Drezner :: Things begin to fall apart in Venezuela: "“It is surreal that we’ve arrived at a point where we are in danger of squandering a major oil boom,” said José Guerra, a former chief of economic research at Venezuela’s central bank, who left Mr. Chavez’s government in 2004. “If the government insists on sticking to policies that are clearly failing, we may be headed down the road of Zimbabwe.”...."

Antarctic temperatures disagree with climate model predictions

Antarctic temperatures disagree with climate model predictions: "A new report on climate over the world's southernmost continent shows that temperatures during the late 20th century did not climb as had been predicted by many global climate models.
This comes soon after the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that strongly supports the conclusion that the Earth's climate as a whole is warming, largely due to human activity.
It also follows a similar finding from last summer by the same research group that showed no increase in precipitation over Antarctica in the last 50 years. Most models predict that both precipitation and temperature will increase over Antarctica with a warming of the planet. "

Lose to Florida......?

WHO are these fat assholes?

Model in Uruguay, 18, dies after heart attack: "They had a body mass index (BMI) of below 18, calculated by dividing weight in kilogrammes by the square of height in metres, (56 kilogrammes for 175 centimetres), the limit fixed by the regional authorities based on World Health Organisation guidelines. "
An unelected body of fat socialists (WHO) will soon decide who's healthy and who's not based on a calculation (BMI) that "proves" athletes are fat and thin people shouldn't be models? Gimme a break....

Beyond junk science!

JunkScience.com -- Steven Milloy, Publisher: "As everyone is probably by now aware, Friday, February 2, 2007 marks the release of the IPCC's political document: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis, Summary for Policymakers (.pdf as originally released Feb. 2, 2007 and as quietly edited to correct some of the most egregious errors Feb. 5, 2007). The media seem to be operating under the misapprehension this is equivalent to the release of IPCC Working Group I Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis -- this is regrettably neither true nor even close to the truth.
Bizarrely, the actual report will be retained for another three months to facilitate editing -- to suit the summary! IPCC procedures state that: Changes (other than grammatical or minor editorial changes) made after acceptance by the Working Group or the Panel shall be those necessary to ensure consistency with the Summary for Policymakers or the Overview Chapter (Appendix A to the Principles Governing IPCC Work, p4/15) -- this is surely unacceptable and would not be tolerated in virtually any other field (witness the media frenzy because language was allegedly altered in some US climate reports)."

If we want to curb carbon dioxide emissions, then let's ban private jets.
