    OK.  As I am waiting for the bus at the Pentagon this evening a guy taps me on the shoulder and says, "Last time I was here was in 1978 and a guy told me 'I missed Spring last year because I was in the bathroom,' that is very true."

    GOOOOOOOOD OOOLLLLLLLLE JR..........JR

    Hello Folks!  Not that any of you care, but this is going to be a random thoughts/real entry entry. 

    Items:
    This past Saturday was the 1st annual National Train Day and they had one in LA, Chicago, NY and DC (Union Station) and since I enjoy the railroad I thought I would go down and check it out.  Was supposed to be a big thing 'cause Al Roker and some female I've never heard of (Sara Bareilles) was going to put on a show.  As I take the escalator up to the festivities I'm all excited and such 'cause I love trains and seeing the mini trains go round and round and hangin out w/ a bunch of old folks in overalls and conductor hats (who doesn't?).  What I was about to witness I never expected.  There was only one very small mini train display with only one train goin round and round and NO OLD FOLKS IN OVERALLS AND CONDUCTOR HATS!!!!  I think there were more promotional folks there than actual train folks.  The best part of the thing were the banners they had advertising the thing.  If this one was this bad then I definitely did not want to see the one in LA.  I figured the best one was in Chicago.  No real reason for the figurin, just figured.  Luckily there was a B. Dalton so I bought a bio on Samuel Adams and Bill Buckley's last book (actually died whilst he wrote) on Barry Goldwater.  The two father's of modern Conservatism: Goldwater brought conservatism into politics and Bill brought conservatism into the journalist world.  Thanks to these folks we got the likes of Reagan and Rush and...well...ME!  Now, I'm not putting myself on the same level as them, but they certainly have helped shape my political view and whatnot.  Saturday night was awesome 'cause I saw Iron Man and that was awesome and Kyle Busch won at Darlington which was awesome.  Jr.'s gotta win one one of these days.  His old school Mt Dew car was sweet.

    Well, I found out a week ago that I'll be spending two weeks up in Minneapolis for the Convention (week before and week of) so that should be pretty fun. 

    Last night on RAW was awesome 'cause Jeff Hardy came back.  I'm really hoping for an awesome Jeff/Jericho rivalry for the Intercontinental Championship.  That would be awesome.

    I'm somewhat surprised the mainstream media is all up in arms over what the government of Myanmar is doing what with restricting aid and all that......I mean, they're just doing what the Government of Louisiana did before/during/after Katrina.

    I find it somewhat odd that the party of "choice" is for all the nationalized programs that restrict your choices down to pretty much one.  Of course, when they say they're pro-choice they just mean they want you to kill your baby.

    You would think that I'd be working with some of the best and the brightest out here in DC, but that is sadly not the case.  Whenever the HR person (my desk is right outside her office) is gone for an extended period of time (1 day or more), she always writes a message on her little white board on her door like "On vacation for the week be back on Monday", "At the dentist be back around 3", "Sick, not in today".  You would not believe how many folks come by looking for her, read the sign on her door then proceed to ask me if she is in.  After I fight the urge to bash my head against my desk I just look at them, look at the message, look back and them and pray something clicks in their head.  It's times like these I wish I was capable of snappy comebacks.

    New Batman movie should be awesome.

    New Indiana Jones movie should be awesome.

    New James Bond movie should be awesome.

    New Hulk movie looks better than the first one (not saying much).

    I get to go home over Mem Day weekend so that should be awesome.



    For the two folks who read this, that is all.  I'm sure your day is better knowing what you now know.

    Antarctic getting colder , Now has largest sea ice pack on record

    By Joliphant Posted in Comments (39) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »

    This is not about Global Warming. This is about how the press goes about making you worry about Global Warming.

    From The Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung via IDW online

    Bremerhaven, April 21, 2008. The Antarctic deep sea gets colder, which might stimulate the circulation of the oceanic water masses. This is the first result of the Polarstern expedition of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association that has just ended in Punta Arenas/Chile. At the same time satellite images from the Antarctic summer have shown the largest sea-ice extent on record. In the coming years autonomous measuring buoys will be used to find out whether the cold Antarctic summer induces a new trend or was only a "slip".

    Boy I had to look around for this one. It barely got translated from the German. Isn't that odd though we are so concerned with climate change these days that major events in Antarctic go unremarked unnoticed and in general unheralded ? You would think the major news organizations would pick this up ?

    Now when the subject was the Arctic ice receding we got an amazingly different response.

    From the New York Times
    http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/02/science/earth/02arct.html

    Over all, the floating ice dwindled to an extent unparalleled in a century or more, by several estimates.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/21/science/21arctic.html

    The ice retreat has been particularly striking this year. The Alaskan side of the Arctic Ocean has stretches of thousands of square miles of open water; the fabled Northwest Passage through the islands of northern Canada was free of ice for weeks;

    Bloomberg News

    ``We have already witnessed major losses in sea ice, but our research suggests that the decrease over the next few decades could be far more dramatic than anything that has happened so far,'' Holland said yesterday in a statement posted on the NCAR Web site. ``These changes are surprisingly rapid.''

    And going back to 2005 on the VOA

    Scientists say new U.S. and Canadian satellite images have tracked what they call a stunning reduction in Arctic Sea ice following the northern summer. The shrinkage is far more extensive than normal for the fourth consecutive year. The researchers say the current rate of decline could mean that the Arctic would be free of ice well before the end of the century.

    What is even stranger is that Arctic Ice now seems to be in an uptrend year over year and had a remarkable bounce back from the summer.

    Are we in danger of being flooded out? Well not from melting sea ice. Both caps are growing and the important one the Antarctic is growing rapidly. The arctic could melt completely and we wouldn't notice the oceans going up an inch.

    Are we in danger of doing really stupid things because the news media is failing in its job of reporting facts ? Yes indeed, and Global Warming is just the tip of that iceberg.

    Some pictures.

    "While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.

    Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

    The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a post turtle'.'

    Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.

    The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.'

    The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain.

    'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just want to help the DUMBASS get down."
