I'd say bovine Beano would do the trick:
New law sounds full of hot air

If any more evidence was needed to prove that global warmists are politically motivated and not, repeat not, motivated by the truth, there is this story from the Associated Press on efforts by a group of British scientists to edit a film openly skeptical about anthropogenic global warming:

That's what The Telegraph's Toby Harnden has to say about the boycott of Israeli goods by the British National Union of Journalists (NUJ). Why, you might ask, would journalists boycott a country's goods? Excellent question! According to Mr. Harnden, a member of the NUJ,
because of the "savage, pre-planned attack on Lebanon by Israel".
You might ask:
Israel's "savage, pre-planned attack" on Lebanon?

It had to come to this eventually: white people in Seattle must acknowledge their "destructive power" by sending their kids to the White Privilege Conference at the University of Colorado. The Seattle School District
presumes racism is institutionalized in Seattle schools and that students of color are inherently disadvantaged.
Great way to start the day, isn't it, knowing that you're either advantaged or disadvantaged?
This is the Mission Statement of the WPC:

"Richard S. Lindzen is the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research has always been funded exclusively by the U.S. government. He receives no funding from any energy companies."
OK, are we clear on that point? Fine. Now what does the Professor have to say?
Why So Gloomy?
By Richard S. Lindzen
Newsweek International
April 16, 2007 issue - Judging from the media in recent months, the debate over global warming is now over. There has been a net warming of the earth over the last century and a half, and our greenhouse gas emissions are contributing at some level.

I lost my aldermanic re-election bid to former Park and Recreation Commission President, Lee Hillstrom last Tuesday, 518-496. There are two polling places in the 3rd District in Neenah. I manned one at poll-closing time while my wife, Janet, manned the other. The vote total at my polling place was 310-305. For a fleeting moment I offered up a prayer that Janet would bring me a margin of victory from the other polling place of 6 votes. But then I remembered that Mr. Hillstrom lives in that part of the District and that he'd probably win by 100.
Janet came to pick me up and looked rather forlorn as I got into the car. I said, "Well, did Hillstrom win by a hundred?" "No," she said, "17."
So out of 1014 votes cast I lost by 22. I dropped Janet off at home and went out to pick up the rest of my yard signs – I wasn't going to risk any displeasure with my signs left up beyond Tuesday night. I ...

Principal Urges Cops To Arrest Girl For Writing 'Okay'
Chelsea Fraser was arrested at the Dyker Heights [New York] Intermediate School on March 30 along with three other male students. She says she was made to empty her pockets and take off her belt. Then she was handcuffed and led out of the school in front of her classmates and placed in the back of a police car.
That pretty much says it all. The girl was handcuffed to a pole at the police station for three hours. Some things are beyond parody.

I suppose one could feel a mort of compassion for the principal in this story, but it sure is a reflection of modern times, don't you think?
Principal Sues Youths Over MySpace Fakes
Apr 6 01:21 PM US/Eastern
HERMITAGE, Pa. (AP) - A school principal sued four former students who he claims posted parody MySpace.com profiles saying he smoked pot, kept beer at school and liked having sex with students.

Best of the Web Today often features a recent quotation by a leader of the Democrats at the bottom of a brief, but trenchant, list of quotations from past Democrat leaders. Here's that short list:
- "One man with courage makes a majority." – attributed to Andrew Jackson
- "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." – Franklin D. Roosevelt
- "The buck stops here." – Harry S. Truman
- "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." – John F. Kennedy

It's a Cato Institute article published in the San Diego Union-Tribune on March 11th. The author is Patrick Michaels, senior fellow in environmental studies at the Cato Institute, and a research professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia. He has some fascinating things to say about the International Panel on Climate Change study.
For instance, do you want a metaphor for what the Panel has come up with in terms of news about global warming?
Despite breathless news reports, there's very little in it that's new to anyone involved in global warming science.

It's been a busy week, and I've had just about zero chance to write anything here. I haven't had a week-long gap in my blog for I don't know how long.
Tomorrow my re-election campaign ends and we'll find out whether I've been given another go on the Neenah City Council. I've put together an Issues web site at http://www.swerbach.com/Neenah3rd/ if you're curious.
But please get out and vote wherever you are!
