Don’t remove combustibles, potables, and sharp objects from safe stowage just yet, sports fans, for the news this morning continues to provide chuckles that could prove dangerous to computer equipment and other consumer electronics.
And I'm loving it!
There is supposed to be a global warming rally in Salina, Kansas, on Saturday. However -- as if totally on cue! -- a record snowstorm for this late in the season is threatening to turn this green celebration white!
You really can't make this stuff up!
As comically reported by the Salina Journal (emphasis added throughout):
Depending on weather during the day, some outdoor events might be moved indoors or canceled, she said.
An outdoor rally and march urging action against global warming also will go on as planned.
Don’t go for the remote quite yet, folks, for this is about to get good...I promise:
"The show will go on," said organizer Laura Krinock. "They say the snow is going to stop by morning, and the sidewalks will be cleaned off. If it's really bad, we'll just move it to Caper's."
Besides, Krinock said, "I'd hate to cancel a rally on global warming because of snow."
I told you so. Leave that remote alone:
Lawson chortled at the idea of a rally against global warming occurring in the snow, but he was quick to point out that a "minor undulation of the weather" doesn't debunk the idea of global warming.
Salina averages about 0.3 inches of snow in April, Lawson said, so "snow's not unusual, but this much snow this late is."
Don’t go anywhere yet:
The latest in the spring Salina has had measurable snow was in 1953, when the city got 1.2 inches on April 11.
That record will be broken today, Lawson said.
"You're always going to have minor fluctuations like this," Lawson said, explaining that global warming is about long-term trends, not an unusual cold snap. "This doesn't mean anything in the long term ... this doesn't mean we won't have a warm spring."
I’m verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves!

Oh, I see how it works now --- when short-term weather events occur that appear to offer proof and legitamacy for the far-fetched GW theory such as Katrina and the hurricanes of '05 or the California wildfires, then they are quickly used throughout the MSM as dramatic examples of man-made global warming and blame Bush because ---- well everyone knows it's got to be Bush's fault, right? And of course, the far left are usually quick to bring up documented sightings of Karl Rove's diabolical Katrina weather machine. But when snow and ice fall in the middle of spring and the entire North American continent is in the grip of record cold temperatures, then it's simply a "minor undulation of the weather". How clever!

"minor undulation of the weather doesn't debunk global warming" --- no it doesn't.

April 14, 2007 - 14:36 ET by Noel SheppardSNT,
Actually, what's most delicious about the statement "a minor undulation of the weather doesn't debunk global warming" is that all this alarm from all these alarmists is indeed about a minor undulation of the weather. After all, I would consider a six-tenths of one degree increase in average temperature over 100 years -- with a margin of error of conceivably three- to five-tenths of one degree -- a minor undulation.

Global Warming is obviously a stupid idea, therefore, logically, it should be countered with another stupid idea. And I have one! (If I ever run out of them I'll contact Otto.) Let's organize counter protests to bring attention to Global Cooling.
We can go find some scientists who have something to gain and put them on the payroll, we can get the UN behind us (with a few backroom deals)and get Tom Delay to do a documentary showing Polar Bears roaming 5th Ave. in Manhattan. I'm sure the AMA would sign on, their ethics are for sale to anyone who can rub two nickels together. Congress can step in and tax Air Conditioning. There's something in it for everyone!
We can even stand across the street from Global Warming protests in Parkas and throw snow-balls at them. Mittens for eveyone, mittens for the under-priviledged!

April 14, 2007 - 18:09 ET by dervishWell, I hate to gloat about predicting this, but I did: Global warming was done for after it was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
But, seriously, anyone know why in the world this rally was staged at Salina, KS? Did they use a dart thrown at the US map? Was it some Solomonic compromise between Berkeley and Manhattan? Were they aiming for the geographical center of the US? (It's actually at Lebanon, KS, a hundred or so miles north -- but it probably doesn't have a Starbuck's.)
Addendum: Ah, I missed the link -- appears to be a local event. That would make sense, as I doubt there's anything else to do on a Saturday in Salina, at least after basketball season. (It's not that I have the liberal's disdain for middle America; this is strictly personal. I left $50 on an I-70 speeding ticket in Salina one night...)

Whatever. With our conservative legislature (thank Heavens!) and our left of left of Rosie O'Donnell governor (she and the NY Times lookalike media out here tricks the stupid voters every time not even mentioning her while running daily hit pieces on whoever runs against her), NOTHING happens in Kansas! She runs up all these nutty Pelosi-like bills and the legislature votes them down before the ink is dry. That make politics sooo boring that we have to do SOMETHING!. Check out our annual pancake flipping contest each year in Liberal and the world's largest ball of twine in Cawker City. If that doesn't wear you out, visit the world's deepest hand dug well in Greensburg. I won't mention the world's largest ground hog as that has gotten us a lot of bad press from tourists journeying thousands of miles to feed and pet it. 8,000 pounds of concrete. Sign says "petrified" but no one believes it. And you have to pay $2 to see it! They keep it behind an old fence. Big sign -- "no refunds past this point!". People still demand refunds! The nerve of them. Sorry about the $50 but they've stung me too (many times). We're a 400 mile speed trap with fence posts. When it was 55 MPH, speeding tickets financed sending us all on world tours each year and barn dances every night of the week! Now all we can afford are these darn GW events. No one told us what this GW meant. Just lots of media spending money. Our revenue generators even caught all three networks on I-70 for BIG bucks! Fox got a pass of course. We figured our Greased Wheels shindig had caught on. Happens just before planting season. Every tractor gets a good greasin' then we do another barn dance. Yuh awl come back! Heyr!!??

I guess at first thought it was thought he had the thinking thought through and locked up.
This may not be the only school offering him admission into their environmental studies departments.
I am not sure the Clintons have even one more year of Presidential thinking in them. You all? You know by just looking at her campaign post "dear, we didn't lock up the money to buy you the Presidency" mile marker from past weeks. Remember Hillary may just be trying to get elected to protect her name by using authority of such office to pull old Clinton records and give them all a fresh new thirty years protection from the prying eyes of the media and the people.

April 14, 2007 - 20:01 ET by entI can't think of a single instance of a global warming advocate actually discussing the science. Can you? They invariably forward the "concensus" argument, or tell you to watch Gore's movie, or as often as not, they resort to any of a variety of ad hominem attacks and diversions.
Seriously, have you ever met a global warming advocate who has even attempted to debate the science? Hell, even Gore wouldn't discuss the science when questioned about it before Congress recently. It was all evasion.
This is so telling. It seems clear to me that the driving force behind this is politics, with millions of mindless minions (useful idiots) doing their level best to disseminate the propaganda.

April 15, 2007 - 23:48 ET by radiofitz34This Kansas rally is just begging for jokes about it. I think these Kansans should seek out Bagdad Bob as a speaker.
It also reminds me about when I sold Amway products. You know...get out there and sell sell sell! Yes these loonies have thrown caution to the wind, a fridgid wind.
Apparently, these GW promoters don't care how stupid it sounds anymore. It's as if the nation is infested with insurance salesmen (think 1950's).
Now all of the sudden everything has to be green. Personally I like blue better. Or how about brown, dirt is brown. Don't they like dirt?
