The models are wrong. So the science isn't settled, it is wrong!
Submitted by Doug L. Hoffman on Thu, 11/05/2009 - 13:39
A new study in the journal Science has just shown that all of the climate modeling results of the past are erroneous. The IPCC's modeling cronies have just been told that the figures used for greenhouse gas forcings are incorrect, meaning none of the model results from prior IPCC reports can be considered valid. What has caused climate scientists' assumptions to go awry? Short lived aerosol particles in the atmosphere changing how greenhouse gases react in previously unsuspected ways. The result is another devastating blow to the climate catastrophists' computer generated apocalyptic fantasies.

Mark Steyn on the Fort Hood attack
Steyn agrees with me that this is probably an act of treason and jihad.
A Traitor Not A Victim [Mark Steyn]
Jules Crittenden on the killer within:
[Major Hasan] probably deserves desertion, treason and terrorism charges if, as all indicators seem to very strongly suggest, he was engaged in jihad, from his violence-inciting, hateful rants about the Koran, his denunciation of the United States as “the aggressor” in arguments with fellow soldiers, to his shouts of “Allahu Akhbar,” to what they believe were his Internet defenses of suicide bombings, to his choice of targets, the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood. If al-Qaeda is an amorphous enemy, an idea made situationally manifest by the will of its adherents, and he was in fact an adherent of its violent agenda, then he is the enemy, his actions were acts of war, and they bled and died under enemy fire.
Is any of the above very likely to be offically recognized? No.

More on H1N1
I have been listening to hysteria on H1N1 for the last few weeks, mostly from the media and the grits. If it's goal was to panic Canadians the media and grits have done a good job. I am also amused to see that Canadians have discovered that our health care system has tiers. The board members of our hospitals are volunteers, they and our donors supply much needed capital to keep our health institutions going. Volunteers are also vital to our health care institutions. So these people got the flu shot. So what. It is a small reward for the thousands of hours of service these wonderful people provide to their fellow Canadians for nothing.
As I have previously written everything in our healthcare system depends on who you know. We have a multi tier health care system. This is just the reality of things. Read more from Scot Stinson's piece.
In the case of the H1N1 vaccine things are actually going pretty well. Millions of us have been vaccinated. So far the number of deaths across Canada is about 115. This is since the beginning of the outbreak earlier this year.
So I think let's tone down the hysteria , get our flu shots as they become available and use common sense ( hand washing, stay home if you're sick) to deal with the pandemic.
In all the furor over the H1N1 rollout in the last two weeks, the media and the political class bear some responsibility for raising anxiety levels in this country. Both have lost sight of the inherent patience of Canadians, and the ability of health-care providers to sort out difficulties and deliver the product.
It's one thing to get worked up over pro hockey players jumping the queue ahead of pregnant women. It's another for the opposition Liberals to call the rollout "a national disgrace" or compare it to Hurricane Katrina, which was the tipping point in the political fall from grace of the second George Bush. The blame game is a not a long game, and could be dangerous to the Liberals' health.
Our constitutional division of powers might be imperfect, and might not have envisioned pandemics, but it has served us well enough for nearly a century and a half. Ottawa is responsible for the safety of our citizens, and assuring a supply of vaccine; the provinces are responsible for delivering the service and meeting the demand.
It's the way our country works. And it works best when the people providing the service, and the people receiving it, regard each other with kindness and respect.

August:Osage County
I recently saw this Tony Award winning play. It reminded me of Buried Child. It is the story of the spectacularly dysfunctional Weston family. It was an amazing 3 hours of theater. the acting was great , especially Estelle Parsons, who played the super whacky , drug addicted matriarch. The script was funny, unexpected and poignant. The reviews have been amazing. You really should see this show.
play.
Rex on the chicken littles....
and their new attempts to start a new religion.
What was once venerated is now, in many ways, dismissed and even despised.
Matthew Arnold, the great Victorian poet, marked the turning moment. He had early intimations of “the way we live now,” a way largely evacuated of its Christian allegiances, certainly – in the public sphere – evacuated of the regard and respect that the profession of Christianity once automatically evoked.
“The Sea of Faith/ Was once, too, at the full,” he wrote, before going on in lines of immense power to record:
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
