finding a new hobby

friday, november 14th, 2008

i see signs of it approaching. Frost, blizzards in the Plains and Midwest. I'm just so burned-out from all this election crap, "Winter Rest & Rejuvenation" just can't get here fast enough for me, at this point. As one of the "transition periods", "Fall Death"'s been very nice as usual, but I'm now craving Winter's Solitude for the "months of sleep and personal rejuvenation". My own "personal rebirth" will come in the Spring, as it has for the past 58 seasons. Every animal and plant has its own genetic sequence of "Summer Life", death, rest, rejuvenation and "Spring Rebirth"; we humans are no exception. We're just higher-up on the "food chain", in some respects.

"I need Winter's Absolute Solitude & Rest, for the long months of sleep and personal rejuvenation."

Political commentators like Rush, Hannity, Savage, Beck, Boortz, Coulter, Ingraham, Levin, O'Reilly and scores more, get paid hundreds-of-millions to do what I've been doing, since 1996, at "not one thin dime", and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Sure, I've been urged by a half-dozen "Journal" readers over the years, to either quit the garden center/nursery business and try to break into local Talk Radio, and work my way up to a national syndication. Or possibly try to get a "local gig" on WSBA-910AM here in York (PA), and balance it with my "real GC&N job", with the radio's 3-hr/day, 15hr/week demands. Many thousands of "Journal" readers, have urged me to go into other areas of interest, almost all of which I have no real interest in. York's local 9-12 talk show host, Gary Sutton, was "dumped off his 9-12 slot", a few weeks ago, for the syndicated "Glenn Beck Show" in that primo time slot. I have no interest in doing that arduous routine, having that ignominy happen to me, competing for Arbitron Ratings, "Sweeps Week" etc, having a talent manager, a business manager, production staff, PR people, personal appearances, scheduling etc etc etc etc, and all the other stuff/staff it would entail. It's a *full-time job*, a business, an multi-billion-dollar industry, and anyone who simply thinks that it's merely "15 hours a week", is sadly mistaken. Nothankyouverymuch, anyway.

"Our corrupt and criminal political system, rewarded a political party of treason with governance, and at the same time, smote a cowardly party unworthy of governance, for its pretence and ineptitude, into political exile."

What I saw this past Nov 4th & 5th, was an ever-growing corrupt and criminal political system, rewarding a political party of treason with governance, and fully-smiting a party unworthy of governance, for its pretence and ineptitude, into political exile. There is neither "fairness" nor "balance" in politics; only crime, corruption, power, greed, lies and deception, and I can't take that over-dosage, anymore, to any degree.

I'm still incredulous that 51% of America voted-in a lowlife half-breed, Marxist muslim-islamist, racist piece-of-shit nigga, for President of The United States of America. I can't fucking believe that America is that fucking dumb, stupid, idiotic, moronic! But we are!

Since the liberal-demokkkRATs came to power in 2006, America has had nothing but grief and heartache with a 6,000 point drop in the DJIA, and trillions of dollars of lost home value. First they hit us with punch one: their phony energy crisis. Now just as were getting up off our knees from that punch, they have slammed us with a second powerful punch to our mid section: their corrupt Fannie and Freddie mortgage mess crimes that threaten our whole economy. The "demokkkRATs' one two punch, bringing America to her knees", is a must-read. (Here's the original article.)

Yes, I truly fear for America's future. We're a people now gravely-wounded and staggering under a monstrous and lethal load of social burdens and financial debt, which would have already caused any other nation on earth, to wholly-collapse into the welcoming, murderous arms of communism, fascism or worse. History is littered with their sorry litanies of failure, beginning with Greece' and Rome's written histories, and continuing to the present day's numerous, documented national failures and collapses. It will be a miracle indeed, if we survive the onslaught from "The Enemy Within™", and if we do, it will be because of our Faith In God, Love of Family, Love of This Country, belief in and respect for The Founding Documents — The Bible, The Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution and The Bill of Rights — and other Great Documents, such as "The Magna Carta".

"There is neither "fairness" nor "balance" in politics; only crime, corruption, power, greed, lies and blatant deception. America doesn't need that, at this fragile point-in-our-history."

Right now, I need to "mentally get away" from all this inane, empty-headed, worthless, moronic, lowlife, endless bullshit, useless, petty political crap, clear my head out, let happen what will happen, rest-up, get my mental health back, pick-up the remaining pieces, and go on from that point. To that end, last week's "End Of The Road" entry was the final political content screed I will post in this weekly "Journal", for "a while". Whatever that means. I'm tired of the angry but accurate, name-calling — way too much on my part over the past 15-18 months — researching the many crimes of the seditious lib-dem traitors, my BP-going-thru-the-roof when I'd get PO'd at another act of treason by the lib-dem filth, my daily eating-breathing-living the trash called politics, neglecting my personal and business needs all too frequently, turning down way too many social opportunities with Family and friends; all to work the huge research and writing hour requirements of my venerable, weekly "Journal", and to what end result? I can't think of a single reason, actually, now that I sit down and put it all into "column a" and "column b". None at all.

As far as a "new hobby", I have no real inkling as to what that could or will be; none right now. Maybe I'll get back into cooking and cheffing and parlay that into some Workshops here at the GC&N Complex, or on a local cooking show. Maybe I'll get back into my recession-crippled Garden Center & Nursery, and bring it back to regional dominance in Spring 2009, as we've enjoyed for the past 16 of 18 seasons. Maybe, perhaps, if only, and yet, that too, coulda, woulda, shoulda... who knows? At this point, I sure don't.

What I do know is that this "political stuff" isn't very good for my "daily mental health", and I have to temporarily jettison it, right now, for at least "a while". And I have. I need to let some "water go under the bridge", for "a while". That said, I feel the weight already lifted-off my shoulders and mind, and I feel better, right away. I think that I'll keep this "non-political position", position, for "a while" The Net-World can sure do without my personal acerbic commentary, and will probably be all-the-mellower, for the lack of it, for "a while" (there's that phrase, once again!).

If I find a "new hobby", I'll be sure to let you know. Meanwhile, I'm taking a well-deserved "break" from it all.

Around The Garden Center™.

For the past 5-6 weeks, I've told my remaining, end-of-season-employees and everyone else who's asked me, that "an unusually cold and snowy Winter's coming early, this year", and it is already happening. The Plains and Upper Midwest, specifically the Dakotas, Nebraska, Missouri and Western Illinois, were just hammered with 3-4ft+ of blizzard snow. Wooo-hooo! Dammit; I told them all that this weather was coming, several weeks early, this year. Some of them were "miffed" at what I'd said; others simply ignored it. All of them were skeptical. Okay, fine and dandy. Of the 13-14 previous years, where I've predicted "early Winters", I've been right 95% of the time. Winter's going to get here, in Pennsylvania, "3-4 weeks ahead of schedule". That's why I've had the GHs packed-up and everything put away, starting earlier than normal. Also because of the volume of "stuff" to be packed-away, it's taken us 20-25% longer than usual. We're also without 2-3 people who would normally be working on the project, too. That's why we're at this late point in time, still working on it. If we'd get hit with a snow or ice storm now, it's wouldn't be a disaster, as it would have been 3-4 weeks ago. We're getting close to completion, now.

The Western-Pacific storms are starting to form and beginning to roll-across the nation, and will be bringing-us copious snow and ice storms, in very short order. That's "par for the course", as with past weather patterns.

Here's an interesting list of tropical storms, hurricanes, ice storms, snowstorms and blizzards which have affected life in the Susquehanna Valley, over the past 50 years. I remember and have been through about 1/3 of them, since moving here in 1990.

We finished installing the 6 large Purple Beeches, 3 large Pin Oaks, and 5 American Elm saplings, at (Cousin) Rev Tom Shelley's Zion Shaffer's Lutheran Church, last week, in a single day. I had 1-2 days allotted for the project, but since the soil was so good, our John Deere 675B Backhoe made 'short work' of the project. We hit one medium-sized rock in all those holes! The topsoil was 2-3ft deep! Tom has a son, named "John", and I met the fine lad last week when Alan and I met with Tom and his Church Council Member, to spot-in the planting locations. "Cousin Tom" emailed me that he was pleased, and that's good enough for me. I hope his congregation likes them, as well. (Now that I have Sundays off, until mid-March or so, I plan to go to Sunday 10:15AM Worship Service at Tom's Church, one of these Winter Sunday mornings. Shhhhhhhh; don't tell him, as I want it to be a surprise.)

The final landscape job has been completed, most all tree installations will be completed by the end of this week, and there are only 2-3 relatively-small, "miscellaneous jobs", left to finish-up. At a certain point, if any other jobs come-in from customers, I'll put them into the "Spring Queue", and we're done for the 2008 Season, regardless of the job. "Next year's another year", IMO. This year's a wrap.

I'm now down to a less-than-skeleton-crew now, and with 3-6 Key Staff & LSCP-ers, and no weekend help, these days. This isn't unusual, for this time of year, as we're in-the-process of closing-down for this 2008 season. The Western Plains States are still digging-out from their Blizzard, and we're awaiting our first one. Heh; it'll come all too soon enough. Count on that.

Gas prices at the pump dropped another 9¢, in less than 3 days. By last Friday, Unleaded Regular (87oct) was at $2.15/gal, Unleaded Premium (89oct) was at $2.25/gal, and Unleaded Super Premium (92oct) was at $2.45/gal, with Diesel at $3.31/gal. No; I haven't seen any under-$2.00/gal gas, in this area, yet.

Saturday was a low-60s, cloudy and rainy day, with only 4 customers coming through the GC&N Complex, within the 5 hours which we were open. I loaded 2 CuYds of mulch, and helped a number of others on the phone, with various lawn, plant, soil, lawn mushrooms, houseplants etc problems; the "usual stuff" for this time of year.

We were closed on Sunday (hurrah!), and although it was a sunny, in-the-50s-day, I slept-in until around 11:30am, made a real nice breakfast of "Egg-in-a-hole" (also called "Eggs-in-a-nest") with sides of crisp hickory-smoked bacon, fresh-made "Killer Home ries", Starbuck's Whole Bean (fresh-ground, Turkish-style powder) and fresh-squeezed OJ. After that, I went food shopping at WEIS Markets (always best to go food shopping on a full stomach, IMO), got my silver 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee 'Laredo' washed (with my final Cloister Car Wash 2008 coupon), and went to look at various $15 and $20 Rival Crockpots at (of all places), the local Burlington Coat Factory store.

Nasty surprise on Sunday morning, after running Adaware and Norton SystemWorks: one of my 4 HDs in the RAID 0+1 Array, "dropped out of the array", went into "error" and I had to use nVidia's Media Shield Utility to rebuild it. Looks like it's time to replace the 4 HDs, one at a time, so the information can be striped & rebuilt to each new HD as it's added to the 4-HD Final Array. Dammit. I already bought the 4 new Sata (Hitachi) 250GB HDs, a few months ago, when one of the Western Digital 250GB HDs in the RAID 0+1 Array, "dropped out", and had to be rebuilt. The rebuild longevity is uncertain: days, weeks, months, but it will fail and needs to be rebuilt. Crap.

Jeff stopped-by at around 3:45pm, and we spent the next 5½hrs working on rebuilding the 3 year old, "errant" SATA (Western Digital Corp) 250GB Drive (with a new Hitachi 250GB drive), which had "dropped out of the RAID 0+1 Array", and had an *degraded/error* tag displayed with it, on the WIN-XP Start-Up Sequence. By 9pm, he'd left for home, and my drive-rebuild was completed. Or so I thought. I shut it down for the night, and when I logged-on in the morning, it re-started re-building at 90% complete, and I let it run all day, to make sure it was finished this time. It was still at 99.63% complete, when I got home, so I restarted and waited to see if the utility restarted, once again. It did, at 10.22%! WTF?

I stopped by Wal-Mart (yes, I buy stuff there, occasionally) and bought a Rival® 5 Quart Round Smart-Pot® Slow Cooker, on sale for $24, on sale from $35. I'm searching the various recipe sites for ideas on stews, soups, roasts etc etc etc, since I've never used one of these things before. Just "throw-in some food and water", as a friend of mine says, isn't my idea of using one of them, properly. I'm doing some research on the proper techniques, before actually buying food and "wasting it", if the technique is faulty. I prefer "doing it right, the first time". Wasting food and money isn't my idea of being efficient, and I'm sure it's not yours, either. Yes? So, I spent well-deserved time researching recipes, and putting together a cogent shopping list for the anticipated meal.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Winter♫: 28°F (21°F windchill) when I got up at 6am, widespread frost and people bundled-up against the cold. Getting the Main Retail Building and my Office up-to-temp takes a while, and takes even longer in December-January-February. There are days where I'll start the building's massive Modine® propane, forced-air heaters, and my Office's oversized wall unit, and wait in the Jeep for 15-20mins before going back inside. Brrrrrr.

While the remaining 3-Man LSCP Crew works on getting the final LSCP jobs finished-up and Seth, my Hardscape Foreman, works on getting the nursery put-away for Winter, Jennifer, my Horticulturalist, toils in the Display Gardens, cutting everything down, raking and cleaning it up, for the coming "Winter sleepover". Spring is way too hectic to be doing that kind of work, and it's best done now. She's potted-up all remaining Spring-blooming Bulbs, for sale and usage by James, my LSCP Designer, in his coming plans, retail sales and by LSCP Crews, in the Spring and Summer months' installations. I fondly remember when I'd spend many, many (hundreds of) hours in the Display Gardens doing Fall clean-up, and in the GHs, potting-up "leftovers", and carrying-in the many thousands of potted plant material, for Winter Storage. The dirt under my fingernails was prodigious, my hands were blistered and raw, and every muscle in my body, ached, from the strenuous work, just getting ready for the fast-approaching Winter storms. I was happy and personally-satiated, back then, and I remember going home around 10-11pm, collapsing on the condo's couch or floor, so tired that I couldn't make it upstairs to a shower, clean clothes and bed, until the following morning. I also remember "getting caught in a couple of early Winter ice storms", and working late into the night, with banks of spotlights, so we could see what-the-heck we were doing, as well as slipping and falling on patches of ice and snow. Ahhhh, "the good ol' days". NOT! We now work smarter/faster than we used to, thanks to Alan, Jennifer, Seth, James, Arthur et al. "Tempus fugit".

Arthur, one of my LSCP Crew, brought-in numerous Ball Jars® full of processed Sauerkraut, which he and Bob had grown & "put-up", in November, for Dad, Mom and me. Bob worked here for the past 2 seasons, and we miss him, but his "new career at the bank", is far better for his future, than being at my GC&N, in the long-run. His and Arthur's garden is prolific, to say the least. Many thanks, guys.

Here's a great site to see the full-length, TV Episodes from the 50s/60s/70s/80s & 90s, from some of your favorite shows (if you're interested). Here's their homepage. BTW. I spend a lot of time there, watching a TV show's full episodes (section down near the bottom). Try it; you'll like it!

On Tuesday evening, I put together a "shopping list of stuff" for my first try at "crock-pot slow cooking" — Beef Stew — with my new Rival® 5 Quart Round Smart-Pot® Slow Cooker. I have "Pork & Sauerkraut", up-next on the "JS Menu", for Mom Dad & me, on New Year's Day, a "Traditional York County Dinner", which I'll cook for them. Then, there's "Corned Beef & Cabbage", right behind that, for St Patty's Day. I just wish my new crockpot/slow cooker was large enough (7-8qts, at least) to do an entire Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner, but it isn't. Mom goes into back/spine surgery on Nov 25th, so we'll skip Turkey-Day Dinner, this year, in the hopes that she recovers nicely. I'll help-out with the cooking, from here-on-in.

In honor of Veteran's Day, here are some great pics: Military 1 Pics and Military 2 Pics and Military 3 Pics. Most are desktop wallpaper worthy, and once converted to *.BMP (bitmaps) and placed in the C:/Windows folder, are ready-to-use.

Jeff stopped by on Wednesday evening to swap-out the 2nd of 4 (WDC) hard drives, in the RAID 0+1 Array, and install the new Hitachi 250GB drive. It looks like we're going to have to do all 4 drives, since mixing WDC (Western Digital Corp) and Hitachi (SATA) Drives isn't going to work. They *must all be the same*, or an "incompatibility factor will cause recurring system problems", and I don't need that additional headache, at this point. This swap-out went a lot faster than Monday night's "Hurculeanean effort" of >6 hours, mercifully. I'm taking Thursday off, so I can monitor the rebuild progress and make any corrections/adjustments, if needed.

DAMN; REAL BAD NEWS, for me, that is! I'll now have to install all 4 new Hitachi HDs, and reinstall the WIN-XP O/S, and reinstall all apps! Fuck-a-duck! Worst possible news I could get, right now, as the RAID 0+1 Array won't accept a new drive; it wants to be completely rebuilt, and have the O/S reinstalled, at the same time. Jeff and I spent 3½hrs trying different combinations of old/new HDs, and nothing worked; it's going to require a 100% reinstall! F•ck-a-duck! F•ck-a-duck! F•ck-a-duck! F•ck-a-duck! F•ck-a-duck! Sooooo, I'm now starting to go thru all my downloaded apps, and see what I have which can be reinstalled. No, I didn't get DVDs/ CDs from the companies; I got the cheaper online downloads. Dammit. I'll spend the 5-7 days looking for those critical apps, which I've saved *somewhere*, to reinstall, after the O/S reinstall. Dammit.

I had Thursday off, slept-in until 9am, made Starbuck's French Roast Coffee, French Toast & Sunnyside-Up Eggs for breakfast, completed a shopping list for the "crock pot cooking" recipes, and went to WEIS Markets, to shop the list, plus some "other stuff" — cornstarch, beef broth, beef bouillon cubes, celery, carrots, turnips, Bisquick (for dumplings) — which I needed for the beef stew. It was a very rainy, cloudy and cold day; exactly what I like to have as a "sleep-in day", BTW. That's the reason I chose it! Thanks to TWC, I "saw it coming", and spec'd it as my day-off.

While out food shopping on Thursday, I noticed that gas prices had dropped another 16-19¢, and that Unleaded Regular (87oct) was now at $1.99/gal, Unleaded Premium (89oct) was now at $2.09/gal, and Unleaded Super Premium (92oct) was at $2.26/gal, with Diesel at $3.01/gal! Un-frigging-believable, and about damned time! I filled-up the Jeep's 22gal tank, for $36. Wowser!

Things Which Make Your Head Explode™, Part 1.

Over the past 2-3 years, since my email address was hacked, stolen and used by "nefarious people", I've had millions/billions id pieces of spam, porn and other junk sent over my email addy, and have had others post on forums, in my name, lies about me, what I've done and claims made about me. I won't go into "details" here, since my Personal & Corporate Attorney began an investigation, back in December 20087, and it is ongoing. I regularly get "emails from myself", hawking all kinds of products and services, of which I know nothing about. I also have had numerous posts made to certain forums, making all kinds of false claims about my employment history, military service, marriage, guns, etc etc — once again, I can't go into "specifics", due to my Attorney's Investigation — but it's my hope that when it all "wrings-out", and the Truth is uncovered, the lowlife dirtbag(s) who hijacked my email addy, are caught, duly-prosecuted and summarily-executed. Bada-bada-bing! If Not, I'll change my Corporate Email configuration, and those of my employees, dammit.

Things Which Make Your Head Explode™, Part 2.

The USPS is cutting 40,000 (non-union) jobs? The Gov't-funded (US Taxpayers' Hard-Earned Funds!) employ over 685,000 people, and have lost another $2 BILLION, just this year, so far. I wish I had a tally of all the red ink — wasted, lost US Taxpayer Dollars — that the worthless, inefficient USPS has lost over the past 25 years, and I'd bet that it easily-approaches ½ TRILLION DOLLARS! How much more efficient is UPS and the other private mail & package carriers, and the USPS sloth? By factors of 5:1 and 10:1? Probably so. More, wasteful, inefficient, lowlife "unionized crap", dammit! Get rid of the damned unions and America could once again become world-competitive and quit wasting TRILLIONS of our hard-earned dollars! F•ck the lib-dem-controlled unions! Any questions?

Bravo, Scott Eckern, for your support of California's Prop 8, the ban on same-sex marriage. You were 100% correct in your support, and you shouldn't have resigned, Scott; you should have stood your ground and told the subhumans to "fuck-off", IMO. They have civil unions, and that's all they're entitled to, NOT marriage. Fuck the faggot filth.

Fonts For You™.

Many Journal entries are best viewed in the Charrington Roughened and the Orlando typefaces. You may already have Century Gothic on your Windows-XP machine, and that's almost always used for the body copy or subheads, so grab it; you're reading it now. They're free from my website. Grab 'em! Save them to your HD, and install to C:/Windows/Fonts (folder), thru your WIN XP Control Panel > Fonts > File > Install New Font. Simple stuff; just takes a few minutes.

Here are a few others, which my Journal will be written in during the coming weeks: Papyrus and Acoustic Bass, and Caesar Regular and Carleton and Charrington Strewn and Catherine. Get and install them, and see how much nicer these pages are to view and read. Plus, they add to your repertoire of available fonts in MS-Word, as WIN-XP System Fonts, so you can use them for your daily documents etc.

The Global Warming Money Pit™.

Have you seen this video: "BBC: The Great Global Warming Swindle"? It was outright-banned from leftist, hate-filled, dirtbag lowlife scumbags, Google.com's and YouTube.com's websites, by the mentally-ill, left-wing, global warming idiot wackos, but I've preserved it, for posterity, aka you, me and *ours*. Watch, be informed and download it for others to see. It's on my corporate server, and will stay there, BTW.

Here's everything you need to know about Global Warming, and why it's a good thing.

The "Greenhouse Effect" is a natural and valuable phenomenon, without which, the planet would be uninhabitable. Global Warming, at least in recent times, is real. CO2 is not a significant greenhouse gas; 95% of the contribution is due to Water Vapor. Man's contribution to Greenhouse Gasses is relatively insignificant. We didn't cause the recent Global Warming and we cannot stop it. Solar Activity appears to be the principal driver for Climate Change. O2 is a useful trace gas in the atmosphere, and the planet would actually benefit by having more, not less of it, because it is not a driver for Global Warming and would enrich our vegetation, yielding better crops to feed the expanding population. CO2 is not causing global warming, in fact, CO2 is lagging temperature change in all reliable datasets. The cart is not pulling the donkey. Wake-up, folks.

Here's a listing of The Best Global Warming Videos on the Internet.

Hey, fat, shit-for-brains, bloated, liar, huckster, fraud, criminal, charlatan, scumbag, loser, disgraced ex-VP AlGoreBore (LIAR-TN), is back using $300 million of OPM (Other Peoples' Money) to promote his Global Warming Bullshit, after the worst Winter in over 100 years. Welcome back, fatso huckster asswipe, AlGoreBore!

CO2 bad? No; CO2 is good, and we need more of it, or we're in for a very cold period, very soon. Here are the facts about CO2.

Roger Revelle of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Harvard University and University of California San Diego, spits on the lying scumbag, AlGoreBore. My, my, oh my. (((snicker))) No, there's no consensus on Glo-bullshit Warming, other than it's a LIE! Just ask Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT, Richard S. Lindzen; he's eminently-qualified to call AlGoreBoreAsshole, a LIAR! As I am.

There's another "ice age" coming, not the AlGoreBoreLiar 'Glo-bull warming' crap.

Larsen B Ice Shelf in Antarctica collapses in 2002 = Glo-bullshit Warming? Doubt it.

Read this Glo-bullshit Warming idiocy. Go ahead; I'll wait.

AlGoreBore's "hypocrisy"? See it right here!

You need to watch this 30 minute film; it's an eye-opener if you think that we're running out of crude oil, and that America has no reserves. We have more oil and natural gas in Alaska alone, than all the rest of the world's known reserves, COMBINED! Grab an adult beverage, and watch it.

Better get out your Winter coats, 'snuggies', wool socks and snow shovels, as it seems we've got an 80-year "Little Ice Age", on the way. Yawn; no biggie.

AlGoreBore's "Glo-bull Warming Bullshit" has spawned so-called 'cottage industries' around the world, worth hundreds of millions and probably billions of dollars, for green corporation validation, carbon credits, foundation & university climate studies, grants and a host of other BS-related crap to his lies and garbage. Global warming competes with cancer and competes with AIDS for a finite amount of money. This year's natural resurgence will surely see the global warmists, led by celebrity warmist, Gore, compete viscously for those US Taxpayers' hard-earned dollars. And I'm betting that the really important disease, cancer, loses to Glo-bullshit Warming and AIDS. Dammit.

F*ck all the "Glo-bullshit Warming Alarmists"! I say, SHOOT THEM, and cleanse the planet, if they try to intimidate anyone! I will; count on it! "Get in my face", assholes, and that'll be your last day on this Earth! If there are any "dissenting scientists" out there, who need protection, just get in-touch with me, and I'll guard you & yours. You can count upon that, folks!

Have you taken "The Global Warming Test"? If you have a sentient, functioning brain, and a simple knowledge of "the facts", you'll easily get a 10-of-10, as I did. Go ahead, and give it a try!

Read this article and pick-out "The WWF's Big Lie". If you chose this paragraph — "Summer sea ice is now forecasted to completely disappear in the summer months sometime between 2013 and 2040 — something which hasn't happened for over a million years." — you'd be right. There isn't, and never has been and ice on the earth dated at a million years old, and who the hell was around back then to begin recording it? The lying sacks-of-shit at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are typical lowlife, left-wing wacko scumbags, in-bed with the "Glo-Bull Warming" Crap, of asshole AlGoreBore and his phony, money-making scam. The oldest, and not reliably-dated ice cores are >160,000 years, and those are shaky in fact, at best. So where did the lying WWF pull the million year crap from? Their asses!

Some People Just Need Killing™.

Why has it taken 6+ years to lawfully execute *simply kill* the 3 subhuman, muslim-islamist filth, who slaughtered 202 people in Bali, way back in 2002? Those filth, garbage, shit, trash, crap etc, needed summary killing on the day they were convicted, 6 years ago, dammit! Indonesia has the "same problem" that America has: a corrupt, broken bullshit legal — not a "justice" system — which allows the murderous garbage to appeal their conviction, while their victims are still dead and unable to appeal their deaths, and both nations' systems need to be *fixed*. IMO: KILL THE SUBHUMAN MUSLIM-ISLAMIST FILTH!

Round-up these subhuman faggot anarcrist filth, stand them against a wall, and shoot them! They want violence; well, give it to them, with a 12ga, AR-15, .45cal and better! Shoot the subhuman filth!

Yes, Ayers needs summary trial and execution, IMO, for crimes against America. So does his skanky bitch-filth, Dorn. Execute them both. If I could get the shot, I'd take it. But I can't. Dammit.

15 x 15.

Andy Warhol predicted that, in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. Now that the blog-driven, digital image-fueled, on-demand future is here, Warhol is looking awfully smart. In homage to the artist and his notorious adage, 15x15 encourages you to take steps toward your own quarter-hour of celebrity. Use your camera phone to capture your handsome ole mug or anything else you feel like recording (keep it clean, please). Then email or upload the video to the site. For 15 seconds, 15x15 will exhibit your clip alongside other fame-seekers. (In the future, 15 minutes shrinks rapidly to 15 seconds.) But who knows what will come of it—already, there are plans to show the images at an interactive media symposium in Istanbul. Of course, this begs the question Warhol got all the time: "Is this art?" 15x15 thinks so. "Art was once the domain of the privileged, wealthy and famous," they say here, "but no more."
