What Is The Sound Of One Hand Warming?

Per Gallup Americans continue to not care about global warming. The crosstabs include this nugget:

Worry about global warming is not related to education in any systematic way; those with postgraduate education are no more worried than those with a high school education or less. This conforms with prior research showing that education bears little relation to Americans' believing that human activities are the cause of global warming.

Happy Weekend to all my JOM friends. I am so thankful to the Lord for global warming. Finally I am warming up and not freezing my butt off! Spring is here and I am thrilled. Bring on more global warming - it is good for the flowers and the garden.

[centralcal]

Easy there, girlfriend. We are supposed to get close to 90 deg. by mid week. A little too early for that much global warming! I am enjoying the mid-70's just fine.

[narciso]

Not surprising since they seem to be specializing in entrail readings;

Awww. And after all their money and efforts in the schools, too. What a pity.

I was at the auction Thursday night and met an old guy who was a retired driller who used to work in the coal fields. We were chatting about how the coal industry has been attacked and how stupid the windmills are up in northern Indiana, where they are dripping oil all over the ground, driving the residents nuts with their hum, and killing lots of birds.

There was an antique dealer there who said, "Well, we can't use coal anymore because of the air." Horse (redacted)! was the comment from the driller. I pointed out the fact that there has been no warming for 15 years and that when I was in college they were predicting an ice age.

I honestly think by the time we got done explaining things, he was a bit skeptical of the warming theory.

He was totally unaware of anything but what he had heard on network TV.

[Threadkiller]

Sounds like a question for Rosie Palm.

Concomitantly, falling for BS is not related to edumacation in any systemic way.

Who can make it to Austin by tomorrow afternoon? Iowahawk is in town for the annual car show and is hosting a meet up.

I'm calling bullcrap on the ChiCom ping report. It's been like 12 hrs. How long does it take to upload the trace and determine what you're looking at?

Good for you, Miss Marple - grassroots!

Beasts, What I find interesting is the number of people who are willing now to voice negative opinions of Obama.

People around here are usually cautious about saying anything political, even though we are a more conservative area then say, central Indianapolis. There are still lots of dems around, but they are strangely silent.

I go to this auction every week. Several times Obama posters and flags with the famous semi-communist portrait have come up, and uniformly there is laughter. They get hardly any bids, usually sell for a couple of dollars at best.

Don't know if this is anything but anecdotal, but there is a dissatisfied population around here, that's for sure.

[narciso]

According to another account, in the Straits Times, they didn't even have functioning batteries, so it's dubious they were pinging at any time,

[Jim Rhoads f/k/a vnjagvet]

Florida just didn't have it tonight. Connecticut's small unit outplayed them and the Gators weren't ready for it, or couldn't cope with it. It looked to me like Billy got out coached. Unusual, but sh** happens. Sorry JIB.

But Billy didn't miss 9 of 10 three pointers. His Gators did. He also didn't get out shot 55.8% to 38.8% as his Gators did.

(I couldn't remember CH's JOM nickname for Donovan, so had to use his real name:>))

With Florida losing, all I need now is for Wisconsin to win, and I'll win my pool despite having lost my national championship pick (Syracuse) on the first day of the tournament.

Clearly, we are somewhat less than expert handicappers among my friends...

One of my happy hour haunts has a very liberal clientele. The first few years after JEF's election, it was unbearable. The next two years provided his defense but the cheer-leading subsided. The last year or so has provided a beautifully gilded silence. Nothing. No global warming discussions, no ObamaCare, no smartest president evah. They know.

[rse]

BOE-

They know he is not what they had hoped for, but we went to war repeatedly to prevent the kind of measures coming at us invisibly in the name of adaptation to avoid global warming.

"shrink and share" is the actual economic and social vision these clowns are pushing while the pushers want pensions for life.

I keep reading all these taxpayers funded reports from all over the world from basically the last 4 years and wondering if anyone knows how the world actually works.

I liked your story of the luncheon. Red called today to find out if we had asked our eldest to call her. We had not and she was so excited big bro just called her at college to say hi.

What a blessing if kids can enjoy each other's company as adults.

[windansea]

for all you foodies, or gourmands if that's preferble

rôti sans pareil—the roast without equal

His recipe calls for a bustard stuffed with a turkey stuffed with a goose stuffed with a pheasant stuffed with a chicken stuffed with a duck stuffed with a guinea fowl stuffed with a teal stuffed with a woodcock stuffed with a partridge stuffed with a plover stuffed with a lapwing stuffed with a quail stuffed with a thrush stuffed with a lark stuffed with an ortolan bunting stuffed with a garden warbler stuffed with an olive stuffed with an anchovy stuffed with a single caper, with layers of Lucca chestnuts, force meat and bread stuffing between each bird, stewed in a hermetically sealed pot in a bath of onion, clove, carrots, chopped ham, celery, thyme, parsley, mignonette, salted pork fat, salt, pepper, coriander, garlic, and “other spices,” and slowly cooked over a fire for at least 24 hours.

I'd hit it

[Beasts of England]

@rse: Not sure if you saw WUWT's story the other day on a 'peer-reviewed' paper that endorsed exaggeration and hysteria in support of the cAGW message. The ends justify the means and they're not even being wily about it anymore.

The interactions between siblings is quite instructive, in my opinion. The ex and I are both enjoying the older sister mothering the 'baby' and providing her with frequent unsolicited advice, re: college life. I told the younger one that if her sister didn't love her, she'd ignore her. Too funny.

[Happy, happy, joy, joy Ignatz]

I have to kind of laugh at Randy Andy and Maher crying crocodile tears for poor Mr. Eich.
They, at least as much as anyone, have spent the last couple of decades demonizing as reprehensible bigots anyone who disagreed with extending civil rights to homosexuals as though homosexuality is interchangeable with race.

They look a lot more like the leaders of a mob who stand by, their hands neatly washed, while their followers beat somebody up than the voices of reason who have stood for peace and civility all along.

[narciso]

the matryoska of cooked fowl, seems too complicated,

no it doesn't seem like it, the coloquoy between Friedman and Hillary seems to prove it, might as well be talking about unicorns and basilisks, imaginary creatures,

[windansea]

more engastration recipes include Macrobius’s Roman Trojan Boar: a pig “made pregnant with other animals and enclosed within as the Trojan horse was made pregnant with armed men.” The rôti itself was said to be based upon a similarly dated Roman recipe for a cow stuffed with a pig, goose, duck, and chicken. But this wasn’t just a piece of Roman heritage. There are tales of a Bedouin dish of chickens stuffed with rice and hard-boiled eggs crammed into a lamb, then stuffed into a whole slain camel roasted over a charcoal pit with nuts. Perhaps that tradition followed the Arab Muslims into Andalusia, where a 13th century Andalusian cookbook reports a cow stuffed with a lamb, goose, hen, pigeon, starling, and a final unknown smaller bird served to the Sayyid Abu al-‘Ala of Cueta.

[Jim Rhoads f/k/a vnjagvet]

I am somewhat in awe of the success of the Gay Mafia to frame the gay marriage issues to equate them with interracial marriage a la Loving v. Virginia. There are so many arguments to be made against that proposition. But no one group has been able to coordinate a unified pushback. There is a unity on one side and cacophony on the other, a sure recipe for disaster.

[Beasts of England]

Just saw that, narciso. The comments were solid per usual.

Sex sells magazines, as others have mentioned. Rather funny, still, that Golf Digest would highlight such poor golf form. (wait, calling Fox Butterfield!) I'm sure she has a heck of a personality, though.

[narciso]

Well they consistently lie about what is involved, judge like Walker refuse to recuse,
law firms refuse clients, the same lawfirms who were first to take up the Gitmo bar's most insignificant complaints, the executive refuses to defend, from the state to the Supreme Ct, when justice is not blind but in on the scam, what is there to do,

[Beasts of England]

@Jim Rhoads: One problem for us is the simplicity in defending their message. Against their ideas? Bigot! Hate! Racist! Carefully explaining false equivalence requires an abundance of words, an attention span for the other side and an assumption of moderate intelligence. However, the reality remains that nothing said will change their minds.

It is truly: 'Four legs good, two legs bad!'

(even that slogan had to be parsed for the bird's sake)

Somebody refresh my memory: what's the difference between Bella Abzug and a bowling ball?

[Beasts of England]

I'd add that the left often couche their causes in terms of equality: who can be against that? The also get ahead in the battle of words and perceptions by being 'pro' whatever. The abortion debate is a good example. And when they're not being 'pro', they demean the other side in a similar manner: consistently labeling AGW skeptics as 'deniers' sends a powerful (although dishonest) message.

[Jane on Ipad]

My only response to the gay marriage fiasco would be: if I get to be for it, you get to get against it. Welcome to America!

[narciso]

they attack the institution of marriage, because it is the basis of society, they attack traditional motherhood for the same reason, it's not surprising considering where Friedan and Abzug come from, from the institutional left,

[Centralcal on iPad]

Bowling balls can be quite lovely - polished and slick. Bella, not so much.

[narciso]

they go after Engelbrecht's True the Vote, and Issa caves, what did he win with that move, fortunately 'the lady's not for turning' as she made clear tonight,

What Is The Sound Of One Hand Warming?

Sorta' like the sound of one Bench Warming?

Ichiro Suzuki on being benched by Yankees: “It’s nothing I’ve ever experienced before”

And then, because Ichiro’s humor is always underrated, he also said:

"I know the rules in baseball aren’t going to change, but maybe they can play four outfielders? I haven’t thought about that before. But now I do."

[Beasts of England]

Sounds rational, Jane. It'll never work. ;)

[peter]

Love Ichiro. I think he is such a great athlete to watch. So smooth, reminds me of Wayne Gretzky and Roger Federer.

[Beasts of England]

Some pretty clever names for the lavender mafia floating around the webz. Just saw my favorite: La Homo Nostra.

[narciso]

So why are they benching him, and who is in his place, have the Yankees lost their minds, rhetorical question,

[narciso]

I only heard about him, when VH 1, stopped being about music,

[gus]

My Badgers gave it all they had. So close. So far.

[daddy]

Aussie on TV giving the Press conference sez they have had 2 separate ping incidents, 24 hours apart, and separated by a distance of approx 2 Kilometers. That sounds fairly promising to me. He says that the second event was about 90 seconds worth of a ping signal. I also believe he said it was in the general location of previously spotted flotsam/jetsum, so who knows.

[Janet - the districts lie fallow, while the Capitol gorges itself]

Good comments Jim & BoE.
I agree with an Am. Thinker post awhile back which said we should have never accepted the term 'traditional marriage'. The left always kills us with adding adjectives. 'traditional marriage', 'social justice', environmental justice', ...
The word is marriage...& that word means something. All people can get married. There is no discrimination.
Tony & Steve can love each other & live together & do whatever....but they can not be married to each other. They CAN get married if they want, but not to each other because that isn't marriage.
It is a battle about redefining marriage.

And if it can be redefined to mean 2 men or 2 women...then why not anything else? 9 men? A dog & a man? 6 parrots & 4 women? Why not? Explain to me why not.

[daddy]

The Aussie briefers said they only got the info of the 2nd ping about 90 minutes ago. It's just coming up on noon in Perth.

[narciso]

That seems plausible, daddy, I have more confidence in the Aussies then the Malaysians or the Chinese regime, because they've been lying for the better part of two weeks,

[daddy]

Me too Narciso,

If I heard correctly I believe the Military briefer said that the ship was turning and preparing for another sweep and that they may get another update by the middle of the afternoon.

[Happy, happy, joy, joy Ignatz]

The poor Badgers had it in hand but I think they probably lost to a very slightly better all around team.
Only one missed free throw, but it was a doozy.

[narciso]

Have they given any indications of the depth of the ping,

[Dave (in MA)]

A bowling ball looks better in a stupid hat?

[gus]

Janet, why do you hate gay people?

[daddy]

any indications of the depth of the ping

No, It still sounds like they are in rudimentary stages of locating this ping. Sounds a bit confusing. I can't tell if the Aussie ship will be back over the area of the ping in just a few hours, or if it'll be 14 hours until it returns, or maybe that is another ship. Hard for me so far to make it out, as I'm not forced to watch CNN and they are quite confused as well.

I can't tell if the latest 90 second long ping was heard 24 hours ago and only passed 90 minutes ago to the guys who just briefed us, or if it is a much more recent event that we should learn more about shortly. Beats me.

[Jeff Dobbs]

Home early from pool. Only 8 hours today.

Speaking of Pings, mine are 29 years old and I still use them. I'm not sure I'd even want to play golf if I didn't have my Pings.

[Janet - the districts lie fallow, while the Capitol gorges itself]

I don't hate gay people. I am opposed to redefining marriage.

Don't worry though...marriage is being redefined. It doesn't matter that most Americans don't want it to be redefined either. Voting doesn't matter, winning hearts & minds doesn't matter, passing laws doesn't matter,...it all gets overturned.
"We the people" are just in the way. It isn't our country anymore.
We all just need to shut up & get to work so we can send more money to DC.

[Comanche Voter]

On global warming; education or the lack thereof does not necessarily interfere with the capability of the average American's Mk. 1 bullshit sensor. Most of us can recognize it when we see, smell or hear it. On the other hand, your average liberal seems to have a fault in that detector circuit.

an OT series recommendation - The Last Place on Earth

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088551/

about the race to the South Pole based on the book Scott and Amundsen by Roland Huntford.
The book is good too.

Made in 1985. The first 2 episodes are pretty talky - laying the character groundwork & background, but the story builds. It is heartbreaking to watch it unfold.

[Janet - the districts lie fallow, while the Capitol gorges itself]

Richard Fernandez - http://pjmedia.com/richardfernandez/2014/04/05/eich/#more-35830

"The removal of Eich is about fascism. It’s about one group of people forcing everyone else to bow to their hat on a pole; it s about book burning, compelling obeisance to, as Jame Surowiecki put it, “a universal ideology” in a manner so bald that even those who might gain politically in the short term from it are horrified by its crudity."

[MaxB]

As I understand it, even though temps stopped going up, the planet is still warming. The temps are not going up because the oceans are now absorbing more of the warmth than they were when temps were rising. That's pretty scary, because with the oceans absorbing the heat, global warming has been cold as hell!

[gus]

So sorry Janet, I was only kidding you. You made an eloquent case for your logical opinions....LIBS....not so much.

[gus]

Janet. Bingo on the EICH and fascism comments. (not to be confused with EICHMANN).

Here in Wisconsin, there is a verifiable list of those who VOLUNTARILY PUT THEMSELVES ON RECORD as signing a PETITION for the purpose of recalling GOVERNOR SCOTT WALKER. (a friend of mine). Should their signatures on a recall petition be a legitimate reason to FIRE them????????

[gus]

MaxB, could you cite some legitimate data or study that supports the OCEANS ARE ABSORBING ....."the warm". Bullshit. Man and Jeep Grand Cherokees are killing the planet. No proof is necessary. Ask any UNION TEACHER, there is your proof.
There is NO GLOBAL WARMING. None. Sometimes bullshit is just bullshit. This is one of those times.

Heard this today from an instructor on a Sim ride.

So a Pilot and a Preacher both die and find themselves standing at the Pearly Gates.

St Peter walks up smiling, gives the Pilot a hearty handshake and a good pat on the back and say's, "Welcome aboard good buddy. We're glad to have you up here. Here's some fancy robes so please come on in and enjoy yourself!

"All right!", says the Pilot, flashes a thumbs up and steps on in.

Then St Peter turns to the Preacher, shakes his head, grumbles between his teeth a tad, then tosses him a beat up old rag of a robe and says, "Hurry up and get on in before I change my mind."

"What gives?" says the Preacher. "Why is a Pilot so much more welcome in Heaven than a Preacher?"

St Peter eyeballs him with an ornery look and says, "Cause every time you preached a Sermon everybody in the Church went to sleep, whereas ever time he flew he had everybody in the plane praying."

[glasater]

I'd add that the left often couche their causes in terms of equality: who can be against that?
~Beasts

I'd add to that when a lefty gets on some Fox News show and says "I think we can all agree..." and then spouts some nonsense like apple pie and mother screed folding it into one of their stupid analogies for why they are correct in their thinking.

I holler back at the tv "don't include me in that stupidity".

[gus]

Glasater, it's like Junior Salemanship. Assume the sale. WE CAN CERTAINLY ALL AGREE, THAT YOU NEED BUTTICKLE OXFORD SHOES!!! No objection equals SALE. I saw a blog, possibly THE DAILY CALLER, actually approve the MEME, that JOE SCARBOROUGH, is a CONSERVATIVE PUNDIT. Holy sheepshit Batman.

[sbwaters]

Janet, your adjectivial takedown on marriage is on point.

It leads to the question what benefits Tony and Steve want from "marriage" and what benefits our State ought to attach to its version of marriage.

If, ostensibly, the State wants to enlarge to population, then say so. If politicians want to dole out tax "benefits" under the guise of marriage, then say so. If Tony and Steve want family insurance benefits and access to hospital then say so.

There is no discussion, merely a battle to "win" that we all lose.

Language matters.
