Leftist darling dies

Celebrated America hating historian, Howard Zinn, who spent his life poisoning the skulls of the young and ignorant, died this week. For most of us death is the end of it, but Zinn's malignant influence will live on in the hearts and minds of the Left. I don't want to despise him alone, so I encourage you to read this brief alternative obituary.

Jiverly Wong explains

In April of 2009 Jiverly Wong walked into an immigration center in Binghamton, NY and murdered 13 people and then killed himself. Before doing so he sent a letter of explanation to a local TV station. The letter is funny in an " I no speak English" sort of way, but the crazy in it will cause you to poke your brain with an ice pick.

Climategate song - "Hide the Decline"

For those who aren't up to speed on this, the song title comes from one of the hacked (or leaked) emails of Phil Jones, head of the Climate Research Unit, which according to Iain Murray at Pajamas Media is the Pentagon of global warming science. Mr. Jones wrote to fellow climate liar Michael Mann that he had fudged data in order to hide the decline in recent temps. (shocking) Anyway, the name of the tune escapes me but you'll recognize it.

For those who want more...

Iain Murray says there are three things you absolutely must know about climategate.

1. The scientists discuss manipulating data to get their preferred results.

2. Scientists on several occasions discussed methods of subverting the scientific peer review process to ensure that skeptical papers had no access to publication.

3. The scientists worked to circumvent the Freedom of Information process of the United Kingdom.

Global warming scientists cook the books

Obama's smiley face

Last week the Obamas posed for 130 photographs with foreign bigwigs who were in town for the U.N. meeting. As you can see in this 20 second video the President's smile is identical photo after photo. I know he's a highly practiced politician, but still...

It will be less creepy if it turns out there is some photoshopping involved. For those who must see each photo click right about here to go the State Department's flickr page.

Arctic ice won't behave

National Geographic last summer: Arctic warming has become so dramatic that the North Pole may melt this summer, report scientists studying the effects of climate change in the field.

National Geographic this week: This year's cooler-than-expected summer means the Arctic probably won't experience ice-free summers until 2030 or 2040, scientists say.

Rocks and Hard Places

The Final Son got married on June 27 and shortly thereafter the Final Daughter, the Archdutchess and myself, helped him and his new bride move to their new home in the middle of the Mojave Desert. The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center is the world's largest Marine base and is located outside the town of Twenty-Nine Palms, California. The above photographs give a glimpse but they don't do justice to the steep, rocky terrain and the hot, relentless sun. If the USMC was trying to find the most inhospitable place in the lower 48 to let good guys practice killing bad guys, I think they succeeded. It is truly a hard place, but I guess that's what you need when your goal is to produce hard men.
