The infamous Gore "hockey stick" hinges on tree ring data from just ten trees. 10. That same scientist excluded another 34 trees which was in data he previously included. So, cherry pick the ten trees, call it "science" and you have a hockey stick of inconvenience. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/opinion/an-inconvenient-truce-as-green/story-e6frfhqf-1225783524958 The good news is we are not facing global warming, the bad news is the press and politicians don't much care.

There's always somebody ready to accuse you (the general 'you') of being unfair and biased if you post a criticism even remotely connected to BO. I appreciate reading comments from someone who's been at the front lines, so to speak, of creating such videos. If it hadn't gone on so long, I would've liked Tokyo's best, but I'm so so happy Rio was awarded these games. S. America is overdue. Sorry, Chicago. Sending B/M probably hurt more than it helped. The world just isn't as enchanted as they'd like it to be. Yep.

I am behind in the series but was laughing my butt off the other day when the young copywriter (name?) was mad because people kept caving to the clients. So, was it really that bad in the 60's? We drank, but not nearly as much as they do on that show. And oh gawd, the smoking! And the fanny patting... I love Mad Men.

I remain convinced that MEchelle's speech is what cost Chicago the Olympics. Not only was it totally about her, she didn't even bother to attempt a plausible lie when she said she'd sat on her father's lap and watched Carl Lewis in the Olympics. If that were true, she'd have to have been twenty at the time. Did it never occur to her that the people she was speaking to might be passably familiar with Olympic history? That wasn't just a lie. It was an expression of outright contempt for the IOC. >The over all feel of the video felt more like “What >having the Olympics here will do for me” not, “What >we can do for the Olympics by having them here.”

They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with binoculars atop trucks. Though the produce stand was only a block or so from the White House, the first lady hopped into her armored limousine and pulled into the market amid the wail of sirens.
