Evolutionists Flock To Darwin-Shaped Wall Stain
DAYTON, TN—A steady stream of devoted evolutionists continued to gather in this small Tennessee town today to witness what many believe is an image of Charles Darwin—author of The Origin Of Species and founder of the modern evolutionary movement—made manifest on a concrete wall in downtown Dayton.
“I brought my baby to touch the wall, so that the power of Darwin can purify her genetic makeup of undesirable inherited traits,” said Darlene Freiberg, one among a growing crowd assembled here to see the mysterious stain, which appeared last Monday on one side of the Rhea County Courthouse. The building was also the location of the famed “Scopes Monkey Trial” and is widely considered one of Darwinism’s holiest sites. “Forgive me, O Charles, for ever doubting your Divine Evolution. After seeing this miracle of limestone pigmentation with my own eyes, my faith in empirical reasoning will never again be tested.”
Added Freiberg, “Behold the power and glory of the scientific method!”

The wild card in the Alaska pipeline drama. Private industry is working on a pipeline which wouldn’t require a half-billion in state subsidies. Is Palin’s pipeline project a pipe dream? I can’t say.
A good place to clense yourself of the pipeline misconceptions put into your mind by Palin.

The total solar irradiance (TSI) is the amount of solar radiative energy impinging on the Earth’s upper atmosphere. It is observed to vary in phase with the solar cycle, with yearly averages going from 1365.5 Watt per square meter at solar minimum, up to 1366.6 at solar maximum, with fluctuations about the means of about +/- 1 Watt per square meter on timescales of a few days (see Figure 4, yellow and red curves). The min-to-max variation, at the 0.1% level, is far too small to affect Earth’s climate directly, but it is worth keeping in mind that continuous reliable measurements of the TSI are only available since 1978; the minimum and maximum levels of solar activity have remained roughly the same from then to now, spanning cycle 21 through 23.” — Wikpedia
Now stop this crap about the solar minimum and solar maximum. It has nothing to do with global warming or global cooling, that is as far as we know.
beber
It’s not the radiative heat from the sun. It’s the magnetic field around the sun when it’s in a very active phase.
It’s the Galactic Cosmic Radiation. When the sun is highly active the solar winds block the GCR. When the sun is inactive the GCR reach the earth and cause more cloud formation and more precipitation events.
That’s the theory anyway. And recent radio isotope studies grant credibility to it.
Solar minimums…solar maximums, CO2, whatever. It’s only relevant from from an interest or academic point of view as man is a relatively insignificant participant.
Even if man plays a role we are for the most part limited to changing light bulbs and now putting catalytic converters on lawnmowers and string trimmers.
Good Grief, what will the bureaucrats occupy their time with next that makes our lives more difficult and expensive.
I’m happy to hear that the Spirit Corridor is starting to move forward. It was announce last week that the 4-laning of Hwy 54 between Kingman and Pratt with start within a couple of months.
The long time coming project to 4-lane Hwy 54 to go through Greensburg, bypass and go around Pratt and onwards towards Kingman where it will mate up to the 4-lane just east of town.
Good news. Really good news. :)

So much for ‘the old folks on fixed income having to pay capital gains tax’
fron the taxpolicycenter:
The 3 percent of returns with AGI over $200,000 reported 31 percent of AGI and 83 percent of capital gains; the 0.3 percent with AGI over $1,000,000 reported 15 percent of AGI and 61 percent of capital gains. Many more Americans accrue capital gains on corporate shares they hold within tax-deferred employer-sponsored retirement plans, but they do not pay capital gains tax on these gains.
Heh, Reg. Unlike me, my puppy is a lady.

A Shining Example of Government Efficiency and Long Term Solutions!!!!!
–Don’t increase public transportation budgets to save Global Warming cause fuel costs are rising
–Don’t increase fairs due to rising fuel costs, in fact, decrease them using Government subsidies! Provide free rides for senior citizens & the poor!
–Cut back on bus maintenance, overtime, and managers
–Hire private companies to collect garbage at bus station facilities.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-cta-cuts-web-sep09,0,7790861.story
CTA to cut jobs, overtime, maintenance
80 administrative positions will go in bid to save $40 million
The CTA will eliminate 80 administrative jobs this year and make other cuts to save about $40 million, agency officials said Monday. Riders will be spared service cuts or fare increases for now, but those options remain on the table for next year, officials said.
CTA Chairman Carole Brown said the agency is “preparing people for what will be a very difficult 2009 budget season.” The job cuts include eight senior managers in areas like the technology, purchasing and law departments and are expected to save $4.9 million for the budget for 2008.
Other belt-tightening measures include deferring spending in all non-critical areas, reducing employee overtime and cutting bus maintenance costs. The CTA also will hire private companies to collect garbage at its facilities.
The budget crisis has been caused in part by soaring fuel and energy costs, which will be $37.3 million higher than last year. The budget crisis was exacerbated by Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s decision to provide free rides for senior citizens and low-income disabled passengers. That will cost the agency at least $30 million this year. The governor also vetoed more than $16 million in reduced-fare subsidies this year for the CTA in the state budget.
In addition, the City Council legislated free rides to disabled military veterans and active service men and women in uniform. The projected budget deficit for 2009 is $66 million, agency officials said.
SOMEBODY ELSE, should pay for Public Transportation.
The TAXPAYER is that SOMEBODY ELSE.
Some foolishly say that the USERS of Public Transportation should pay for it!
Go figure!
SOMEBODY ELSE should pay for SOLVING GLOBAL WARMING too!!!
Next President will take credit for Solving the Economy when it revives next Spring. Even though Obama didn’t DO ANYTHING, he’ll take the credit for it.
Just telling you in advance, about a Future Lie Obama will tell.

Skrainka said that in recession-fueled bear markets, stocks tend to hit their nadir about midway through the recession. So if the recession began in say, November of last year and it turns out that stocks did reach their low point in July, then that would put the economy on track for a rebound in March 2009.
Of course, that doesn’t minimize the pain that many Americans have felt during this downturn. In addition, this is likely to be a longer recession than usual.
According the the National Bureau of Economic Research, recessions in the post World War II era have tended to last, on average, 10 months. If it turns out that this downturn goes from November 2007 through March 2009, that’s 16 months.
When will people learn that Government can’t solve all of our problems?
There ain’t enough money on the money tree folks, to pay for EVERYTHING your heart desires.
$9 Trillion in Personal Net Income
$3 Trillion taken for Federal Taxes
$2 Trillion taken by State, Local Government
There’s only $4 Trillion left guys.
How much you paying for YOUR share of the pie?
$3,000,000,000,000 Per Year in Federal Government Spending!!!
300,000,000 Americans.
–Your share then is $10,000 Per Year.
–Add your spouse and significant other, then you owe $20,000 Per Year.
–Add your spouse & 2 kids, then you owe $40,000 Per Year.
Are you paying for your share of the Pie? Or are you getting your pie for free?
You Leftist Socialist Libs are trying to Steal More Free Pie!
$9,000,000,000,000 in Federal Government Debt!!!
300,000,000 Americans.
–Your share then is $30,000.
–Add your spouse and significant other, then you owe $60,000.
–Add your spouse & 2 kids, then you owe $120,000.
Are you paying for your share of the Pie? Or are you getting your pie for free?
There’s just over $9 Trillion in EARNED Personal Income. That is the size of the entire pie.
The Federal Government takes $3 Trillion of that in Federal Taxes.
The State/Local Governments take $2 Trillion more. (State Income tax, sales tax, property tax, local taxes, license/registration fees, park fees, fee fees, etc…)
9 minus 5 leaves just 4 Trillion left of the People’s Earned Income to keep for ourselves. Obama’s spending plans will take at least another 1 Trillion. That leaves 3 Trillion left. So we keep 1/3 of what we earn ON AVERAGE.
But it’s worse then that. 1/2 the People support the other half. So we keep 1/6 of what we earn ON AVERAGE.
Happy Socialism!
PREQ BUSH ANNOUNCES NEW FINANCIAL POLICY CHANGE!!!
“To get this here deficit and budget fixed, I’m going to utilize a new financial philosophy.

If we do it right, the nation debt can be eliminated! Problemo solved!”
It was later reported the White House Press Sccretay requied medical attention after the news conderence.

McCain’s history of hot temper raises concerns
By DAVID LIGHTMAN AND MATT STEARNS
McClatchy Newspapers
John McCain made a quick stop at the Capitol one day last spring to sit in on Senate negotiations on the big immigration bill, and John Cornyn was not pleased.
Cornyn, a mild-mannered Texas Republican, saw a loophole in the bill that he thought would allow felons to pursue a path to citizenship.
McCain called Cornyn’s claim “chicken-s—,” according to people familiar with the meeting, and charged that the Texan was looking for an excuse to scuttle the bill. Cornyn grimly told McCain he had a lot of nerve to suddenly show up and inject himself into the sensitive negotiations.
“F— you,” McCain told Cornyn, in front of about 40 witnesses.
It was another instance of the Republican presidential candidate losing his temper, another instance in which, as POW-MIA activist Carol Hrdlicka put it, “It’s his way or no way.”
There’s a lengthy list of similar outbursts through the years: McCain pushing a woman in a wheelchair, trying to get an Arizona Republican aide fired from three different jobs, berating a young GOP activist on the night of his own 1986 Senate election and many more.
McCain observers say the incidents have been blown out of proportion.
“I’ve never seen anything in the way of an outburst of temper that struck me as anything out of the ordinary,” said McCain biographer Robert Timberg.
“Those reports are overstated,” said Rives Richey, who attended Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Va., with McCain in the early 1950s.
Historians point out that it’s not unusual for a president to have a fierce temper, but most knew how to keep it under control.
“Harry Truman wrote scathing letters, but he almost never sent them,” said author Robert Dallek.
“George Washington spent a lifetime trying to control his temper,” added historian Richard Norton Smith.
But Washington didn’t have YouTube replaying videos of his tantrums, nor did he have to make decisions about nuclear weapons.
At age 2, McCain’s tantrums were so intense that he’d hold his breath for a few minutes and pass out. His parents would dunk him in cold water to “cure” him, he wrote in his memoir, “Faith of My Fathers.”
“I have spent much of my life choosing my own attitude, often carelessly, often for no better reason than to indulge a conceit,” he wrote. He conceded that some of his actions have been embarrassing, and “others I deeply regret.”
He was a tough little guy. At Episcopal High, he was a 114-pound wrestler classmates called “Punk” and “McNasty.”
Richey, though, noted that such monikers weren’t unusual in those days. “There was a tremendous amount of sarcasm in the way we talked to each other at Episcopal,” he recalled. “That’s the way we all talked to each other.”
McCain, Richey said, “was not looking for a fight. He was feisty.”
McCain entered the Naval Academy in 1954, and he was popular, the leader of a group that Timberg described as the Bad Bunch, known largely for its ability to have a good time.
Malcolm Matheson, who knew McCain at Episcopal High and stayed friendly with him in college, said his buddy had no trouble controlling his temper in those days.
“He was a little guy, but he was tough, and no bully ever got in his face,” Matheson said.
But as McCain ascended in politics, he began to acquire a reputation for hotheadedness. On election night 1986, then-Arizona Republican Party executive director Jon Hinz recalled, McCain was unhappy, even angry, even though he’d just won a U.S. Senate seat and his party had just made a virtually unprecedented sweep of state offices.
McCain had hoped that night would help launch him as a national figure. Instead, when the 5-foot-9 senator-elect spoke at the Phoenix victory party, the podium was too tall.
“You couldn’t see his mouth,” Hinz said.
A furious McCain sought out Robert Wexler, the Young Republican head in charge of arrangements.
“McCain kept pointing his finger in Wexler’s chest, berating him,” Hinz recalled. The 6-foot-6 Hinz stepped between them and told McCain to cut it out. “I told him I’ll make sure there’s an egg crate around next time,” he said. McCain walked away angrily.
About a year later, McCain reportedly erupted again, this time at a meeting with Arizona’s then-Gov. Evan Mecham, who was about to be impeached after being indicted on felony charges.
Karen Johnson, then Mecham’s secretary and now an Arizona state senator, recalled how McCain told Mecham that he was “causing the party a lot of problems” and was an embarrassment to the party.
“Sen. McCain got very angry,” Johnson recalled, “and I said, ‘Why are you talking to the governor like this? You’re causing problems yourself. You’re an embarrassment.’ ”
Johnson would go on to work at three different jobs over the next five years, and she said that each time, McCain would contact her boss and try to get her removed.
The McCain campaign didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment.
When John McCain came to the Senate in 1987, he quickly got two reputations: a Republican who’d do business with Democrats on tough issues and an impatient senator who was often gruff and temperamental.
In January, Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., told The Boston Globe that “the thought of (McCain) being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me.” (Cochran has since endorsed McCain.)
Added Sen. Christopher Bond, R-Mo., who has a long list of vociferous, sometimes personal disagreements with McCain, “His charm takes a little getting used to.” (Bond, too, supports him.)
Democrats are less guarded.
“There have been times when he’s just exploded, ” said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa.
“Look, around here, people lose their tempers once in a while. But it doesn’t happen very often, and it usually happens in some contextual framework. A lot of times there’s just not much of a contextual framework for his blowing up.”
John Raidt worked for McCain more than 15 years. “Yeah, he could get prickly,” he said. “Sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed to move an issue or get attention. I think he uses it as a tool.”
Stories abound on Capitol Hill: how McCain told Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici, R-N.M., how “only an a-hole” would craft a budget like he did. Or the time in 1989 when he confronted Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, then a Democrat and now a Republican, because Shelby had promised to vote for McCain friend John Tower as secretary of defense, and then Shelby voted against Tower.
McCain later wrote how, after the vote, he approached Shelby “to bring my nose within an inch of his as I screamed out my intense displeasure over his deceit … the incident is one of the occasions when my temper lived up to its exaggerated legend.”
Cochran recalled earlier this summer that he saw McCain manhandle a Sandinista official during a 1987 diplomatic mission in Nicaragua.
Cochran told the Biloxi Sun Herald that McCain was talking, and, “I saw some kind of quick movement at the bottom of the table and I looked down there and John had reached over and grabbed this guy by the shirt collar and had snatched him up like he was throwing him up out of the chair to tell him what he thought about him or whatever.”
McCain said the incident never took place. “I must say, I did not admire the Sandinistas much,” he told a news conference. “But there was never anything of that nature. It just didn’t happen.”
Former Sen. Robert Dole, who led the mission, couldn’t be reached to comment.
Families of POW-MIAs said they have seen McCain’s wrath repeatedly. Some families charged that McCain hadn’t been aggressive enough about pursuing their lost relatives and has been reluctant to release relevant documents. McCain himself was a prisoner of war for five and a half years during the Vietnam War.
In 1992, McCain sparred with Dolores Alfond, the chairwoman of the National Alliance of Families for the Return of America’s Missing Servicemen and Women, at a Senate hearing. McCain’s prosecutorlike questioning of Alfond – available on YouTube – left her in tears.
Four years later, at her group’s Washington conference, about 25 members went to a Senate office building, hoping to meet with McCain. As they stood in the hall, McCain and an aide walked by.
Six people present have written statements describing what they saw. According to the accounts, McCain waved his hand to shoo away Jeannette Jenkins, whose cousin was last seen in South Vietnam in 1970, causing her to hit a wall.
As McCain continued walking, Jane Duke Gaylor, the mother of another missing serviceman, approached the senator. Gaylor, in a wheelchair equipped with portable oxygen, stretched her arms toward McCain.
“McCain stopped, glared at her, raised his left arm ready to strike her, composed himself and pushed the wheelchair away from him,” according to Eleanor Apodaca, the sister of an Air Force captain missing since 1967.
McCain’s staff wouldn’t respond to requests for comment about specific incidents.
But Mark Salter, a longtime McCain aide who functions as the senator’s alter ego and the co-author of his books, said that, “McCain gets intense, and intent on his argument.”
His blowups with senators often result from colleagues being accustomed to deference, he said.
“A lot of these guys aren’t used to that,” Salter said, so they get annoyed when a peer gets emotional.
McCain’s presidential campaign has tried to use his reputation to its advantage; in an early television ad, McCain said: “I didn’t go to Washington to win the Mr. Congeniality award . … I love America. I love her enough to make some people angry.”
There’s no easy way to judge whether McCain’s temper would make him a risky president.
“Yeah, he has a temper,” said Democratic vice presidential nominee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph Biden of Delaware. “It’s obvious. You’ve seen it.
“But is John whatever his opposition painted him to be, this unstable guy who came out of a prisoner of war camp not capable of (acting rationally)? I don’t buy that at all.”
Independent experts have some concerns about McCain’s irascibility.
“Diplomacy is not often dealing with reasonable people,” said Steve Clemons, an analyst at the New America Foundation, a centrist public policy group.
“In the nuclear age, you don’t want someone flying off the handle, so it’s a critical question: Can McCain control his temper?” asked Thomas De Luca, professor of political science at Fordham University in New York.
History is an inexact guide, because little evidence is available tying temper to action.
Smith, the historian, has found that according to Tobias Lear, George Washington’s secretary, “few sounds on earth could compare with that of George Washington swearing a blue streak.”
On the other hand, Smith said, Washington could control himself. “One reason George Washington is this cold-blooded marble figure is that he became expert in controlling his temper,” he said.
Other presidents have similar histories. Thomas Jefferson, Smith said, could be a “red-faced chief executive throwing his hat on the floor before stomping on it.”
Truman had his angry letters, and one that got out showed quite a temper.
“It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful,” Truman wrote Washington Post music critic Paul Hume in 1950, after Hume had panned first daughter Margaret Truman’s singing performance.
Added the angry father, “Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes and perhaps a supporter below!”
Bill Clinton’s infamous red-faced tirades tended to be endured by staffers in the privacy of the White House rather than public displays.
The important question, Dallek said, is whether and how McCain controls his outbursts. Though his aides insist that his temper is simply a way of expressing passion – and that he sometimes uses it for effect – some observers remain concerned.
“It seems the only way to deal with John McCain is to think the way he does,” said Hinz, the former Arizona GOP official who now runs an insurance reform advocacy group in Phoenix. “If he gets more power, what’s going to make him suddenly become a fuzzy, nice guy?”

=========================================
Wow PMama…. Now that is some kind of serious stuff…. Keep us posted how that one turns out…. Should be most interesting….
Interesting commentary…from a another blog that I stumbled on.
The Democrat Party has become the Lawyers’ Party.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle
Obama are lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for
president, is a lawyer, and so is his wife, Elizabeth. Every Democrat
nominee since 1984 went to law school although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd
Bentsen,
went to law school. Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority
Leader in each house is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President Cheney
were not lawyers, but businessmen. The leaders of the Republican
Revolution
were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history professor; Tom Delay was an
exterminator; and, Dick Armey was an economist. House Minority Leader
Boehner was a plastic manufacturer, not a lawyer. The former Senate
Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.
Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who
left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a
sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican
Party is made up of real people doing real work. The Democrat Party is made
up of lawyers.
Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or
who heal the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history, like
Gingrich. The Lawyers’ Party sees these sorts of people,
Who provide goods and services that people want, as the enemies of America.
And, so we have seen the procession of official enemies, in the eyes of the
Lawyers’ Party, grow.
Against whom do Hillary and Obama rail? Pharmaceutical companies, oil
companies, hospitals, manufacturers, fast food restaurant chains, large
retail businesses, bankers, and anyone producing anything of value in our
nation.
This is the natural consequence of viewing everything through the eyes of
lawyers. Lawyers solve problems by successfully representing their clients,
in this case the American people. Lawyers seek to have new laws passed, they
seek to win lawsuits, they press appellate courts to overturn precedent, and
lawyers always parse language to favor their side.
Confined to the narrow practice of law, that is fine. But it is an awful way
to govern a great nation. When politicians as lawyers begin to view some
Americans as clients and other Americans as opposing parties, then the role
of the legal system in our life becomes all-consuming. Some Americans
become’ adverse parties’ of our very government. We are not all litigants
in some vast social class-action suit. We are citizens of a republic that
promises us a great deal of freedom from laws, from courts, and from
lawyers.
Today, we are drowning in laws; we are contorted by judicial decisions; we
are driven to distraction by omnipresent lawyers in all parts of our once
private lives. America has a place for laws and lawyers, but that place is
modest and reasonable, not vast and unchecked. When the most important
decision for our next president is whom he will appoint to the Supreme
Court, the role of lawyers and the law in America is too big.
When lawyers use criminal prosecution as a continuation of politics by other
means, as happened in the lynching of Scooter Libby and Tom Delay, then the
power of Lawyers in America is too great. When House Democrats sue America
in order to hamstring our efforts to learn what our enemies are planning to
do to us, then the role of litigation in America has become crushing.
We cannot expect the Lawyers’ Party to provide real change, real reform, or
real hope in America. Most Americans know that a republic in which every
major government action must be blessed by nine unelected judges is not what
Washington intended in 1789. Most Americans grasp that we cannot fight a
war when ACLU lawsuits snap at the heels of our defenders. Most Americans
intuit that more lawyers and judges will not restore declining moral values
or spark the spirit of enterprise in our economy. Perhaps Americans will
understand that change cannot be brought to our nation by those lawyers who
already largely dictate American society and business.
Perhaps Americans will see that hope does not come from the mouths of
lawyers but from personal dreams nourished by hard work. Perhaps Americans
will embrace the truth that more lawyers with more power will only make our
problems worse.
A woman, a victim of a botched abortion at Planned Parenthood’s Lincoln, NE abortion mill, was transported by ambulance Thursday to Bryan LGH East Medical Center. Abortionist quack C.J. LaBenz followed the ambulance. At least 5 mothers were sent home that day without being victimized by scheduled abortions.
Abortionist quack LaBenz, a designated notorious menace to society and a threat to human dignity and decency, made national news in 1979, when it was revealed that he had ordered a nurse to abandon a late-term baby weighing 2 pounds 9 ounces that was born alive during a saline abortion. (Late-term babies are known to thrash in agony in their mother’s womb for 1 to 3 hours as their skin is burned off, before death occurs. Sometimes, birth precedes death.) The child was placed in a “dirty utility room” to cry alone, unattended, and untouched, where he died two and a half hours later. LaBenz again made news in 2002, when he was arrested for striking sidewalk counselor Sharon McKee with his vehicle, then stealing her cell phone and $350 as she lay on the ground injured. La Benz’s charges were later reduced to “disturbing the peace.” LaBenz paid a $75 fine on the charge of disturbing the peace and another $75 fine on a charge of careless driving, leaving him with a $200 profit from the money stolen from pro-lifer Sharon McKee.
In 2006, LaBenz closed his Omaha abortion mill after the property’s new owner asked him to leave. He was unable to find another property manager that would lease to his abortion business. He began working for the Lincoln Planned Parenthood in April, 2008, a further illustration of how Planned Parenthood endangers and abuses women for the sake of their profits, as Planned Parenthood doubled their profitable abortions after hiring notorious, criminal quack LaBenz.

“A mother choosing abortion is not the act of a person choosing an ice cream flavor. It is the act of an animal caught in a trap that gnaws off its own foot.”

“No adjectives exist to adequately describe this heinous atrocity. This act is shocking and utterly abhorrent for a civilized society.”

Isn’t it sad that Parkay is using a complication with a legal medical procedure for his blog fodder. Ask the woman in the ambulance and I’ll bet she considers the victimization of her is being committed by you. How about you pray that she’s ok, instead of praying she dies so you can file a lawsuit on her behalf despite the family asking you not to.
“A mother choosing abortion is not the act of a person choosing an ice cream flavor. It is the act of an animal caught in a trap that gnaws off its own foot.”
Aint that the truth. I suppose you’d stick another trap on its foot. Perhaps you shouldn’t use that analogy Parkay- its far too true.
