Global Warming: "Patently Absurd"

[zul8tr]

And the debate continues. Can changes in Earth's orbit effect global climate? Can man practically effect a change in the orbit to deal with the possibility? At what cost? Perhaps with a tax on the millionaires and billionaires! : I know, an import tariff on Chinese goods.

The way I figure it is the global warming issue ios caused by a man made off balance of the earth about 90 years ago when the progressive movement began witth Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. The fix is easy. Get all the people who believe in the non sense into a space capsule and fire them up to Mars. The counter weights on the earth will at that time have been removed, and the orbit will shift back into place. The issue will then go away.....Simple fix!

The piece says your scientist is University of Alabama. Does that make him one of the scientists who are too "lazy, incompetant, etc." to get a job in the private sector?

Also, I see that I'm not the only "verbose" contributor here . . . but that there is only an objection if one is verbose in questioning the preponderance of settled opinion here. Interesting.

Smitty you bring up an excellent poiunt....The Havrad Law professor we have annointed as commander and chief is a great example of how institutes of higher learning have failed miserably. They teach as long as you can pass a witrten hypothetical test and score well, you will go far in life....Since this genius has done nothing more than work the publci secotr, all you need to do is see how he governs to see what a load Harvard Law School is....

What's a "hypothetical test"?

Never heard of that one. I assumed he had to pass actual tests. But you're right, passing university exams is not a guarantee that someone will be do what you want him to do as president. Reagan got a degree in Economics from somewhere in the Midwest, yet presided over a tripling of the national debt. Cheney later said, "Reagan proved that the debt and deficits don't matter," and evidently all the degreed Republicans in and around the Bush, Jr. administration believed this self-serving bilge and ginned-up two absurd wars to bring democracy to the towel-heads, based on faith-based economics (faith in the Communist Chinese government!!). As David Stockman, the savviest man in the (early) Reagan administration is explaining now, Cheney and his team were proved disasterously wrong.

So, yes, degrees aren't a guarantee. Maybe there are no guarantees. So I suppose that means I should be all right voting for Sarah Palin or Paris Hilton or whatever comical candidate the GOP puts up next. But still, having voted for an entirely different class of Republican candidates many decades ago, pulling a lever for any of the current clods tends to stick in my craw.

My hat's off to you Smitty and a big AMEN to you, brother. If you really want to get your blood boiling, listen to all of these Neocon clods blither on and on about Liberal democrats and democratic "socialist" programs that they themselves (the Neocons) participate in and/or take advantage of while they blither on against them.

Washington is a huge theft ring run "of, by and for" the billionaires. Follow the money and leave the "theater" to Hollywood where it belongs.

Lets not foget the words of Oback the Magnanimous....Hisd harsh critcism of Bushs wars...But, where did we enter about 90 days ago without the approval of congress that Bush got? It seems this purple lipsed asswipe gets a pass on every single thin g he ever should have been called on, from the birth certificate, to thinking we live in 57 states, to the use of a breathalizer to stop an asthma attack, to his absurd book, which is a must read if you need to find out who this man is....He was given such a pass, that our press corps ( the p is not pronounced in Corps) sent 100 people to investigate Sarah Palin, and to date \found nothing, and did not do a thing when Hildoe brought up the part about where Oback the Magnanimous was born.... Then lets add the part about evil corporations....Can I say, if you looked at the billions of dollars those evil corporations give to hospital wings, libraries, hell Joan Kroc (McDonalds and my past client) gave an olympic ice skating arena ot San Diego, if they did not get the tax dodges they get, we would not be enjoying the things they give. Secondly, thjey employ people...People who would not have jobs if those evil corporations were not allowed to expand and take full advantage of the Nazi *** system we seem to demean evey chance we get...Then there are the evil rich people....The evil rich people who buy the goods and services I sell...Who have stopped since this purp[le lipsed moron took the reins....Why? Because he has failed to pass one single policy defining where ANYONE or ANY corporation should place their money...So what happenes when this occurs? Those eveil corporations and people sit on their money, which could be placed to good use by buying things we all sell.

Add, a hypothetical test is a written set of challenges that would never in a million years be a real occurance. 80% of a persons grade is by how well they take written tests, yet 1% of how we gauge thier productivity is from how they write...Seems we are a little off course here no?

Washington..not even an apprentice to those wall street bankers that have stolen ALL your money.
The writings on the wall when your richest people are bankers and realitors as they have created almost nothing for the nation except debt.

EDIT> Forgot to mention lawyers
