CNN: Rising Sea Levels Threaten to Flood NASA Launch Sites
NASA scientists claimed that 2014 was the hottest year ever! ...Oops! Never mind. When the facts were subsequently checked, the NASA scientists sheepishly admitted that there was only a 38% chance this was true which means probably not true.
However, for you fans of broad climate predictions, I have good news. NASA scientists are now claiming that rising seas threaten to flood NASA launch sites…
At AP, Little Coverage of Dem Candidates' Complaints About Economy
Democrats' current and potential candidates for their party's 2016 presidential nomination continue to complain about various aspects of the economy.

Harold Ford: 'In Her Heart,' Hillary Didn't Intend to Violate Law
In her "heart?" Some cynical lawyerly types might say that presupposes a fact not in evidence . . .
Is Harold Ford, Jr. auditioning for an appointment in a hoped-for Hillary administration? On Morning Joe of late, he's trying out a variety of dubious defenses. Last week, his line was that although Americans might see her as a "liar" and "dishonest," nobody thinks she's "unpatriotic." Today…
NY Times Editor Andrew Rosenthal: GOP Candidates 'Idiots...Xenophobic'
New York Times editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal appeared on a nytimes.com podcast and insulted every Republican candidate in nasty, personal terms, throwing around the words "idiot" and "xenophobic" and insulting Justice Clarence Thomas in a racially loaded fashion.

This was a much more more powerful hurricane with a much higher death toll.

Press: Aug. Job Growth Lowballed; If Revised, It Will Still Be Weak
A popular meme in the wake of Friday's jobs report seen at many media outlets is that August's reported job growth of 173,000 seasonally adjusted jobs is a virtual lock to be revised up by 50,000, or 78,000, or perhaps even more, since such revisions during the past three years have been unusually large.
Well, since they opened that can of worms, let me make clear to everyone that even if those…
