Errrmmmm SD? Like there's a politican who isn't? Also, Fluffy is much more a BHL type of name, particularly amongst the limo libs. Wouldn't be suprised if one of the dog ladies mutts is named that.

Picky, picky, picky... I was just naming him for his recent ranting.

BTW, I personally think that Fuzzy is more accurate when it comes to describing TDW.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

I cannot help thinking, while reading the above "updates", that it is interesting that the various institutions named all seem to have "climate change" in their titles.

Now, if one were to be paging through the phone book, or any other book, and saw this one would assume that their focus is on change, and not necessarily the broader climate. Given the political nature of the debate, one would assume they had a point of view already. So the collection of "climate change research" merely involves researching what we already know. Me? I'm currently a sunlight and warmth researcher, although finding little success in my efforts. I am convinced that my research will bear fruit eventually, although any funding that could be sent my way, if not hastening that day, will certainly be appreciated and applied directly to my research vessel.

So, why wouldn't these institutions be merely named 'climate research'. I might actually get more than a paragraph into the article, if I were to perceive there to be any objectivity in the research involved.

The crisis continues....

Just to have all of my bases covered, I've got my "cumoniwannaylayya" funky red and white flowered shorts, flip-flops, and my L.L. Bean Maine Ranger Parka on right now. and, zinc oxide on my nose. (next thing they'll tell us is THAT causes cancer.)

Theres caffine in the coffee
too much sugar in the cereal
Eggs are bad for ya
toast, well, its that white bread thing
too much fat in the milk, plus BGH and enough antibiotics to kill a horse but not get rid of my kids ear infection...
so......

looks like the only really safe b'fast is a smoke and a beer

Sorry CP. Your body is revoltong not against the coffee, eggs, sugar, nay not even the cigareets and whiskey and wild wild wimmin.

Flip Flops Son. You body is revolting against a complete lack of taste. Flip Flops indeed. They will cause your taste buds to slide down your throat and tear out your liver.

Sorry oh Fuzzy one, a proper BHL wouldn't know a line in the sand if they (notice the pc pronoun?) tripped over it. They only get violent at Peace Rallies.

Not to mention, it wouldn't be a fair fight anyway, as being in Texas, I have access to much hotter peppers than you do.

As I was ruminating, whilst enjoying a nice hot shower amidst this spate of global cooling, currently interferring with global warming, I came to the realization that the real culprits in climate change would be the eco's. Ya see, plant life, being the cause of far more greenhouse gases than humans, the increase in forest, greenbelt and wetlands areas, due to enviormentalist activism, is obviously the smoking gun.
