[QUOTE=Sidney]Lunatic Fringe Sid[/QUOTE]A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.
Nothing could be more correct or obvious. Governments by definition are wolves. If Castro and Chavez are not wolves I don't know who is. They have one goal: obtain power and turn their countries into slave plantations.
The wolves in the United States would be our Senators and Representatives who shove a health care system down our throats that they, the Senators and Representatives, want nothing to do with.
In many town hall meetings the wolves were asked why they, the wolves, didn't ditch the all inclusive health care they receive as Senators and Representatives and accept the health care system they are trying to shove down our throats.
Fatso, fucking Barnie Franks answered that question as follows: We, your elected officials (wolves) are more important than you and deserve better health care. You (the sheep) have to accept whatever crumbs we decide to give you i.e. an inadequate health care system.
And there are people who don't understand that government IS the problem.
Pardon my "religious reference", but I'd say God has a sense of humor.
[quote="Bloomberg. Com"]Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.
"Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days," Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark's Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. "There's a good chance of a white Christmas."
Delegates from 193 countries have been in Copenhagen since Dec. 7 to discuss how to fund global greenhouse gas emission cuts. U. S. President Barack Obama will arrive before the summit is scheduled to end tomorrow.
Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn't had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI's definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit)
DMI defines a white Christmas as 90 percent of the country being covered by at least 2 centimeters of snow on the afternoon of Dec. 24. [/QUOTE]I wouldn't wish any serious harm on the participants; but if Obama, Pelosi, [I]et al.[/i] come back with a severe case of the sniffles - I will get a severe case of the giggles.

It is one thing to support American organized crime but quite another to fund it around the world (but it's only $100B per year under this deal.)
Why does Pelosi need to be there? Why did she need between 2 and 5 jets to get there?
If you redeployed the millions of dollars wasted sending Obama, Pelosi, Bloomberg and Swartzeneger to this farce, you could put lots of people to work.
This is more egregious and tone deaf than the car execs taking private jets to DC to plead for money from the Govt.
[QUOTE=Wild Walleye]This is more egregious and tone deaf than the car execs taking private jets to DC to plead for money from the Govt.[/QUOTE]Believe it or not Mr. WW, totally agree with you. Please do not go into cardiac arrest.
When your attempt at recreating the Congress of Vienna with a third-rate cast of extras turns into a shambles, when the data with which you have tried to terrify the world is daily exposed as ever more phoney, when the blatant greed and self-interest of the participants has become obvious to all beholders, when those pesky polar bears just keep increasing and multiplying – what do you do?
According to Al 'I invented the internet' Gore those pesky polar bears should be starving or drowning.
Obviously the polar bears have another script.
This manmade climate charge nonsense would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that some people still believe this bullshit.
Health care reform is moving along quite well. Market has been flat for the past few months. However, the health care index seems to be bucking the trend. From all indications, there is a lot of money to be made in health care after it is reformed by our lawmakers in Washington. Glad to see they have my best interest at heart. Must remember, "be careful what you ask for damman."
Cigna's (CI) up by 19 %
Aetna (AET) up 13 %
WellPoint (WLP) up 12 %
UnitedHealth (UNH) up 11 %
I was away for a while and didn't check up on the AP gang. Good to see you are all still as whacked as ever. The asylums must be empty!
Have some fun for Santa!
There's a delicious irony in the Copenhagen snowstorm, just as "The Anointed One" and his Congressional Disciples showed up for the finale to the Convocation of the Defenders of the MMGW Faith.
Probably they flew home to Washington on Friday - and what showed up Saturday? The biggest blizzard Washington has seen in December! I, for one, shoveled 18 inches (45 cm) of "MMGWflakes" off my sidewalks and my parking place.
Now, I don't "take this as proof" of the flawed science of the "Warmists". The proof is elsewhere - for example, one climatologist's experiment that found that the switch from whitewash to latex paint on National Weather Service weather stations can account all by itself for the 1.2°C "rise in temperatures" over the past century! Or the high percentage of stations that were set up too close to artificial heat sources (such as, in the middle of asphalt parking lots) The East Anglia e-mail controversy just underlines the "Warmist agenda" as a kind of scientific jihad, doesn't it?
But I do love the irony! It almost makes up for my aching muscles.
(Sarcasm ON - Too bad that the delegation didn't have to shovel their own sidewalks. But "America's Ruling Class" have lackeys to deal with such menial tasks. Sarcasm OFF.)

Wondering what the "carbon-cap" is for a volcanic eruption?
[url]http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/philippines-on-high-alert-for-major-volcano-eruption/article1406803/[/url]
I'm sure that we are going to hear that global warming is behind the eruption to begin with! After all, that 1.2 c temperature climb over the last century has been steadily softening the Earth's crust, making volcanoes much more likely to erupt as the hot magma from the mantle, once held back by a stiffer upper crust (couldn't help it! Let the hot molten rock pass to the surface. Feedback mechanism! Another thing to produce more CO2 that's our fault and cause a runaway heat engine like Venus!
Everyone's seen 2012, right? Although the movie didn't claim global warming as the reason behind the catastrophe itself, we can all see what happens when the Earth gets hot! After all, if it's in a movie, it has to have some basis in fact, no?
I wonder how long it will take until we start hearing that the Earth's crust is going to slip 23 degrees and the Earth's magnetic poles will reverse themselves, all in a matter of a few days, all as a result of global warming!
And I have to comment here - how many Hollywood flakes are campaigning to save the planet from global warming? They have no idea how reality functions to begin with and how science works as well.
I remember something from 2012 that made me laugh out loud in the theater (I'm paraphrasing):
"The Earth's core is warming up because the Sun is emitting mutated neutrinos that can now interact with normal matter!"
For those who don't know, neutrinos are particles that have almost no mass, are very difficult to detect, and a neutrino could pass through thousands of miles of lead (the most dense, stable element) without hitting a single lead atom!
If neutrinos were to "mutate" (as far as I know, mutations only happen in things that are alive and replicate using something like DNA as instructions, and therefore are prone to replication errors) the entire physics of the universe would have had to change! Hell, "normal matter" probably wouldn't even exist anymore.
This is the sort of thing that kills me about "science fiction" movies. They have to choose such stupid things to cause the disasters in a "disaster" movie, when there are plenty of real-life things that could cause the same catastrophes.
So why do they always go with the stupid things? Because they have absolutely zero clue about reality - and don't care. If "Hollywood" supports something, I think chances are it's the opposite of what I would support.
Global Warming or Solar Warming?
The polar ice caps on Mars are melting too. There are no humans on Mars to cause global warming. Because both Mars and Earth are warming, that would indicate the source of the warming is most likely the sun.
I say we send Pelosi, Reid, Obama and any other fucking idiot who still believes man made global warming to Mars. Perhaps their alpha beta kappa intellects can stop the ice caps melting on Mars.
Of course we should send a scout mission before we blast Pelosi, Reid and Obama into space. That scout mission could be a one man rocket without food or water. The one man would be Al Gore who should be thrilled at the prospect of blaming the Martians for melting their ice caps.
Gore, to his credit, has an explanation for the ice caps melting on Mars. It is caused by excess CO2 from planet Earth. Somebody please put this idiot out of his misery.
