| 10:37 am | GeekWithA.45 sent me this: So I share it with all of you. I'll be reading this aloud to all assembled at my Thanksgiving Dinner on Thursday. The Great Thanksgiving Hoax ( Tiger says: 'Don't judge an article by its title, read on, below the cut...' ) Current Mood:  contemplative |
| 10:11 am | Keep pressing 'em on this... The devastating book which debunks climate change
The greatest myth of all in this story is the claim that the succession of alarmist reports produced by the IPCC represents a 'consensus' of the views of '2,500 of the world's top climate scientists'. In every way, this is wildly misleading. The vast majority of those who contribute to those IPCC reports are not climate scientists. Many are not scientists at all, but economists or sociologists - even just environmental activists with no scientific qualifications whatever. The IPCC was never intended to be an impartial body, weighing the evidence for and against man-made global warming and coming up with objective conclusions. It was set up by a small group of scientists already so firmly committed to the belief in 'human-induced climate change' that they were not prepared to examine any evidence which contradicted it. A detailed study of the contributors to the most recent IPCC report has shown that the number of scientists responsible for the key chapter on the extent and causes of global warming - on which everything else in the report depended - was not 2,500, but barely 50. Almost all this handful of scientists were firmly committed to the official view on global warming before they were appointed - and they include those whose leaked emails have now created a shock wave running around the world. Tellingly, what they also all have in common is that their findings are based on computer models programmed to assume the chief cause of global warming is the rise in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. It is precisely this assumption which more than anything else has been called into question by the fact that global temperatures have not been continuing to rise as the computer models insisted they should. ...

| 4:50 pm | The jig is up, the truth is finally known, not just suspected. The anthropogenic global warming theory put forth by the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) isn't just a hoax, it is a deliberate FRAUD. Chances are your government has implemented some sort of carbon-credit system, or is seriously looking at doing it. If they have, they've been fleeced, and if they're about to, they're about to be fleeced. Note: When a government loses a bunch of money, they take it out of YOUR HIDES, since their money is really a portion of YOUR money. The Death Blow to Climate Science CRU Emails – search engine now online Older: Breaking News Story: CRU has apparently been hacked – hundreds of files released Hang the bastards pushing this bullshit AGW theory so they can't perpetrate another multi-billion dollar fraud scheme on an unsuspecting world.

| 2:38 pm | The annual turkey run/purchase has been done! Me, Mrs. Tiger, and the two cubs went over to Watertown NY and much purchasing was done. We came back with four (yes FOUR) 18 lb turkeys. One for Thanksgiving, one for Christmas, and two more just because we really like turkey. :) Over the next few days there will be much cleaning and cooking, getting ready for the big day Thursday for our 8th annual "American Thanksgiving in Canada".

| 5:55 pm | The difference quality makes. Just picked up a pair of Sennheiser PC350 Gaming Headphones (with microphone) from a nice little audio shop in the city I work in called Linden AudioTronic. Wow. Just.... WOW. Yeah, at $228 CDN before taxes, these are a bit on the pricey side, but NO hiss, no dropouts in the audio range, and they're solidly built. I got sick of replacing cheaper sets every few months. Let's see how these hold up, but so far.... NICE. Current Mood:  impressed |

| 9:08 pm | Best U.S. Marine bumper sticker EVER. I know I have a few readers who have the honor of having U.S. Marines in their family. I saw this bumper sticker and was very amused, and wanted to share.  Happy 234th Birthday, USMC! Current Mood: amused |

| 11:05 pm | Doug Ross: Eyewitness account of Fort Hood shooting (unconfirmed) = = = Everything that appears below is from Doug Ross' site = = = Papa B sends this in from one of his contacts.
Since I don't know when I'll sleep (it's 4 am now) I'll write what happened (the abbreviated version.....the long one is already part of the investigation with more to come). I'll not write about any part of the investigation that I've learned about since (as a witness I know more than I should since inevitably my JAG brothers and sisters are deeply involved in the investigation). Don't assume that most of the current media accounts are very accurate. They're not. They'll improve with time. Only those of us who were there really know what went down. But as they collate our statements they'll get it right. ( Rest preserved below the cut ) |

| 6:45 pm | Oh crap. Ft. Hood Texas has had a shooting incident... 12 dead, 30 injured... National Post: Texas army base shooting kills at least 12
Two suspects were in custody at the military base, one of the largest military installations in the world. There could be a third shooter involved, MSNBC reported. The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan. ... Lt. Gen. Bob Cone, speaking to media at Fort Hood, said: "At approximately 13:30 hours today, a shooter entered what we call a soldier readiness facility, where soldiers who are preparing to deploy go for last minute medical checkups," he said. "A shooter opened fire, and due to the quick response of the police forces, was killed." "The shooter was killed. He was a soldier. We since then have apprehended two additional soldiers that are suspects." "There were eyewitness accounts that there may have been more than one shooter. They tracked the suspected individuals to an adjacent facility and they were apprehended." The main shooter (killed) was apparently a psychiatrist, and a long term Muslim (not a recent convert to Islam). Gleaning bits and pieces from comments in sites listed in the Updates below...

| 10:26 pm | A shocking abuse of police power and warrants in the UK The raid that rocked the Met: Why gun and drugs op on 6,717 safety deposit boxes could cost taxpayer a fortune Says one of the commenters: "This smaks of Nazi wealth grabs of the 39-45 period. The State and the Police have become one and it looks like Gestapo raids disguised as something else." Uh huh. Current Mood: shocked |

| 6:03 pm | How do *I* spell Schadenfreude? Don Surber: CNN’s numbers drop 68% in prime to last place
CNN’s numbers have dropped in half overall (52%) and 68% in prime time comparing October 2008 to 2009, TV by the Numbers reported. In the 25-54 demographic, CNN dropped 62% overall and by 77% in prime time. Even the mainstream press is now reporting it. They earned every one of those drops in percentage points of popularity. Every stinking one of 'em. I haven't watched CNN, MSNBC, or their ilk in years. Why bother? It's the same as the CBC in Canada: The same old, tired, heavily-left-leaning dreck that just doesn't play well with the reality on the ground. Or if you prefer: It's useless schlock, and my time and attention are better spent on other things. Mind you, I don't bother with Fox News either. All the major TV news media are a bunch of sensationalistic hacks anymore. Okay, enough posting, I'm off to enjoy a computer game! Current Mood: amused |
| 5:50 pm | Who IS John Galt? Found via a comments from Dave Markowitz at GeekWithA.45's site, we have this wonderful offering: Josh Blackman: My JHNGALT License Plate
Then, she asked me, “Who is John Galt?” I almost burst out laughing hysterically. That IS good. :) Current Mood: amused |
| 5:38 pm | *bwahahaha* Advertising Filter funny moment... I was over on SlashDot.org where I picked up the last story I posted about. I see this checkbox in the upper right corner of the site: "Disable Advertising", described thusly: "As our way of thanking you for your positive contributions to Slashdot, you are eligible to disable advertising." What advertising? *bwahahaha* I've got my frontal advertising filters turned up to "11" so I barely see an advertisement, and that's the way it's gonna stay. Thanks though! Current Mood: amused |
| 5:22 pm | Me to the movie houses: So what? Movie fans might have to wait to rent new DVD releases
For those who like renting movies, Hollywood may soon have a message: Prepare to wait. In an effort to push consumers toward buying more movies, some major film studios are considering a new policy that would block DVDs from being offered for rental until several weeks after going on sale. I say: Do your worst. Here's the gun, please, shoot yourself in the foot. Might be the most entertaining thing you've done in a while. I go by the whiteboard in my little local movie rental shop anyway, that tells me what's coming out, when. From this perspective, NOTHING CHANGES. Current Mood: amused |
