    Getting schooled by fools

    Hi all--I've been out enjoying my life and couldn't resist a quick peek-a-boo at what y'all been saying since my last post. My,my such anger! Over what? I'm new to this site and am amazed at the lunacy,(comes from the Greek word, lunar, or nutty time of the month) And so it is...

    You're all still stewing about CP's article? And with such unwarranted hate from what I can tell. Has the Bush Derangement Syndrome spilled over to surrogates now? Maybe instead of assuaging your guilt by hawking carbon credits for say,overcarbonating the men's room, we can offer HATE credits for the legions of Bush bashers who will have nowhere to deposit their animus once he's gone. How's that for free-market creativity? Only in America, baby. Imagine a giant Camille Paglia pinata or name your receptacle of choice to swat the shit out of when your cup overfloweth with hatred. All for the low, low price of 50 bucks a whack.

    Now, I'm no scientist--I know, a shocking revelation that I'm the only one who reads this site who isn't a certified climatologist-existentialist PHD, but, growing up on a farm, I do know horse shit when I smell it. This global warming thing is nothing but a big steamy pile of excrement. Remember now, data can be manipulated, like one's mind. Does a spike in carbon precede higher temperatures or is it a by product of heat? A tempting morsel to chew upon. Don't start cutting and pasting your science crap--it'sjust not compelling reading.
