Hurricanes and Global Warming

THURSDAY….1-31-08…I recall, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, activists and other protesters crediting global warming for causing that disaster. They chanted, banged on drums and waved signs saying next year was going to be even worse. (I never understood what the banging on drums was supposed to accomplish.) Anyway, they said hurricane Katrina was a [...]

End of world delayed

WEDNESDAY 1-30-08…It wasn’t too many months ago when we were told that the earth would have a close encounter with a large space rock in January of 2008. Observers were giving odds of it hitting the earth….one in fifty, one in a hundred and so on. Finally, the asteroids closest approach was scheduled for January [...]

Talk Radio and 2008 Election

TUESDAY 1-29-08…This election cycle is turning out to be the most interesting election that I’ve ever witnessed. That’s one of the reasons voter turnout for the February primary is predicted to be record breaking. Things on the democrat side are fairly cut and dried. The winner will be either Mrs. Bill Clinton, or Barak Obama. [...]

Government Rebate Checks

MONDAY 1-28-08….There’s a lot of talk and anticipation regarding rebate checks the government plans to hand out to everybody. People making plans about just how they’ll spend it…or not. It’s like the fantasy plans people make when discussing how they’d spend lottery money, if they were to win the lottery. Buy a new house, new [...]

The USS Missouri pays rent at Pearl?

FRIDAY….1-25-08…Sometimes, interesting little items that I think would make interesting Tidbits for the B.S. Notebook, get lost in the shuffle of other news. With the economy, and the primary elections getting front and back page coverage in most of the mainstream press, it doesn’t leave much room for the interesting little items that people should [...]

Real “change” in presidential campaigns

THURSDAY—1-24-08 …One of the things I keep hearing during the current presidential campaigns —is the word “change.” I hear it mostly from the Obama campaign, and since I’m hearing it too from members of the public, some of the other candidates are starting to throw that word around, too. It’s almost as if the word [...]

The FDA and cloned food

WEDNESDAY—1-23-08…The Food and Drug Administration says…..eating meat and drinking milk from cloned cows is safe to eat and drink. Well….that’s comforting. The FDA says it found nothing in the food that could potentially be hazardous. The food in every respect is indistinguishable from food from any other animal.
The FDA’s food safety chief Dr. Stephen Sundlof [...]

How do you know when politicians are lying

TUESDAY.…1-22-08 …that goes……how do you know when politicians are lying? Answer? Whenever they open their mouth. The truth of that state came blaringly true last week when Governor Schwarzenneger publicly declared his support and endorsement of prop 93.…the term limits proposition.
He earlier had made it clear –publicly–that he would NOT support it unless it appeared [...]

CBS News Global Warming Special Preempts 60 minutes

MONDAY……1-21-08…CBS’s program sixty minutes, was preempted last night so the network could present viewers with a special on global warming entitled “The Melting Icecaps.” The network’s timing couldn’t have been worse, based on the real news Sunday, and I’m not talking about the Primary and Caucus results either.
You see, three news stories broke Sunday that [...]
