So?

Muslim terrorist leaders threatened to forcibly convert Britney Spears and Madonna to Islam and warned if they resist, their heads would be cut off for "spreading Satanic culture," according to a new book released today.

"If I meet these whores I will have the honor – I repeat, I will have the honor – to be the first one to cut the heads off Madonna and Britney Spears if they will keep spreading their satanic culture against Islam," said Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesman and senior leader of the Popular Resistance Committees terror organization.

And the downside of this for America is...???

The End of Global Warming (Finally!!)

Its been a bad day for the EcoWacos. Two reports came out today that should finally put a stake in the heart of the global warming fraud.

Here's the first:

A major new scientific study concludes the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on worldwide temperatures is largely irrelevant, prompting one veteran meteorologist to quip, "You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide."

That comment comes from Reid Bryson, founding chairman of the Department of Meteorology at the University of Wisconsin, who said the temperature of the earth is increasing, but that it's got nothing to do with what man is doing.

"Of course it's going up. It has gone up since the early 1800s, before the Industrial Revolution, because we're coming out of the Little Ice Age, not because we're putting more carbon dioxide into the air."

And for more meteorologic fun, try this one:

Don't forget to bundle up if you're headed out in New York City today. After all, it is August 21.

The city along with the rest of the tri-state region is feeling the chilly effect of a cold front sweeping through the region, accompanied by cool rain showers.

As of 4 p.m., the high temperature for the day in Central Park was just 59 degrees.
The normal high for today is 82 degrees. The normal low is 67, still well above what the city is expected to see today. Forecasters say temperatures could warm up to only around 61, which would break a city record, though the high fell back again to 58 degrees at 3 o'clock.

"If this high holds up, it will smash the previous record for the coldest high temperature for the day, which is 64 degrees, set back in 1999," CBS 2 meteorologist Jason Cali told wcbstv.com.

Don't ever forget, the Global Warming Scam is nothing more than a socialist plot to separate you from more of your money via some guilt-driven tax scheme.

Musings on Imus

By now, you should be well aware of the controversy involving talk radio host Don Imus and his ill-conceived comment regarding the Rutgers Womens basketball team and their resemblance to "nappy-headed ho's".
Actually, the "controversy" has come to a head (no pun intended); Imus has been fired from his show by CBS.
No doubt, it was a dumb comment and a poor attempt at humor.

HOWEVER...

I would like to make two observations:

1) Don't ever be taken in to think that the Mainstream Media supports "Free Speech".
What they support is what they consider to be proper speech.

2) Had Imus been young, black and angry, with his baggy shorts down around his knees, exposing his boxers for all the world to see, he would have gotten away with this and much, much worse.
In fact, he would have been offered a recording contract and copious amounts of money, had he been able to perform his comments with a 200 db bass line vibrating everything within 100 yards.

Hypocrites.

I suspect that CBS has done Imus a favor.
I expect him to sign a mega-dollar deal, in all likelihood with XM Satellite Radio to battle Sirius' Howard Stern.
Time will tell.
