That's it! I'm moving!

Clearly this lunatic holocaust denier is on the Exxon/Mobil pay role. Common sense from eastern Europe where people have not yet forgotten what it's like to live in an oppressive socialist society. I love it!

The only thing evil needs to succeed, is for good people to nothing about it.

Anyone else want a "Klaus '08" bumper sticker?

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!´´

First, J. Howard rips Barack Hussein Osama Obama a new one, and now this. All-in-all, I'd say it has been a pretty good day!

IPCC is not a scientific institution, it's a political body..

For those who did not notice there appeared to be a well known Czech in the front row of the Grammy Awards last night.  For those who didn't notice whom James Blunt had on his arm it seems Petra Nemcova of Tsunami and Sports Illustrated fame was at least back with James for atleast this event.  She is still running the Happy Hearts foundation to raise money for other Tsunami survivors.  I think the one sighting of James' date is correctly identified.  She hosted a small writing competition on one of her sites last year.

More than ever now, I’m convinced that G_d has a sense of humor.

Just when the question of global warming is reaching a fever pitch, He dumps a massive amount of snow and below normal temperatures on the country making the global warming  crowd look like fools.

I also believe that He is miffed at the scientists who, instead of doing research on the marvels of the universe, as seen by Einstein, Newton, et al, they have turned to the dark side of junk science to prove a theory that does not exist.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

POSITION TITLE: FIELD ORGANIZER

DEPARTMENT: CAMPAIGNS DIVISION

SUPERVISOR: GLOBAL WARMING FIELD DIRECTOR

SALARY: $29,932.83 plus full benefits including paid medical and dental, generous paid vacation package and more

LOCATION: Select Congressional districts in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia, or Washington

LENGTH OF EMPLOYMENT: Campaign is expected to end by 2009

POSITION DESCRIPTION:

Greenpeace USA’s cutting-edge grassroots campaign, Project Hot Seat, began during the 2006 election season as a way to push candidates for Congress to become champions on global warming. In 6 congressional districts across the country, our field team mobilized thousands of citizens, garnered hundreds of media hits, and successfully pushed almost all of our targets to adopt strong positions on global warming.

Through action in Congress, major opportunities for the US to become a leader on global warming , will present themselves after the nation elects a new president in 2008. Leading up to the election, we will push dozens more congressional representatives to take a stand, creating a majority in Congress to push global warming solutions forward. We’re making this happen by educating and activating the public, building nontraditional coalitions with local groups, and following targets wherever they go.

We are building a team of savvy, strategic, and experienced organizers to serve as field staff on Project Hot Seat. Our Field Organizers will continue to lead the charge in convincing Congress to take immediate and significant action, and to make Congress accountable to the American public, not to big oil and coal companies.

Greenpeace is hiring organizers who can commit to a two-year position, beginning May 2007. The application deadline is March 30, though we highly encourage interested parties to apply now. Interviews will begin in February and the positions will be filled on a rolling basis.
