   Aloha,

   I was speaking in future tense. Need to order it. I noticed any M4 ariant is in high demand. Hope yours arrives soon.

   I think any attempt to fund a National Security Force like Obama articulated will be instantly DOA even in this Congress. The whole concept is so ridiculous its only real benefit is showing how monumentally stupid Obama is about how Americans think.

   Most “rational” people would think the same thing about a blatantly unconstitutional law coming before the supreme court. Yet they continue to let many of them stand and turn to International Law rather than to our constitution to decide the constitutionality of it. I would think the same thing about allowing enemy combatants move in to America, much less bringing them here, dumping them off, giving them homes and putting them on the welfare roles but guess who’s coming to dinner … on our nickel no less?

   The problem is, too many people either do not or can not think! Those are the ones that are seriously detrimental to those of us that do!

    Fuseman,

    I think you’ll find that LGF has gone off the rails quite a bit. While Charles is still occasionally on-target with some things, he seems increasingly driven by his raid hatred of anything “creationist”. and the overall timbre of his blog has gone a bit nuts. he still has a few loyal readers, but is hemorraghing readership as he continues his anti-creationist crusade.

    It’s too bad too. LGF used to be a required stop in a Conservative blog tour. I don’t know what happened, but somehow we lost Charles.

    As far as “Human Acheivement Hour” I (unfortunately) was unaware of it until today, the next day. However, since I refused to celebrate the faux earth-hour lunacy, I already had all the lights and PCs on. So I was de-facto celebrating it.

    After a day of ‘tree hugging’, I drove home over 100 miles, at speeds of over 75 MPH. During Earth Hour, I enjoyed the benefits of fossil fuels by taking a hot shower, microwaving a bowl of chili, and watching DVDs. We could have watched television, but the DVD player is an extra appliance.

It was one of the first “Sick Building” reports I can remember, and one of the things that the left forgets because it no longer fits their agenda.

    To meet Stern’s 2050 goals, he says, among other things, “most of the world’s electricity production will need to have been decarbonized.”

    By way of comparison, according to the U.S. Department Of Energy, roughly 72 percent of U.S. electrical power generation in 2007 was derived from burning fossil fuels, with just 6 percent coming from hydro-power and less than 3 percent from non-nuclear renewable and “other” sources. And even then, those “other” non-fossil sources included wood and biomass — which, when burned, are major emitters of carbon.

    Even during Earth Hour. President of the Tennessee Center For Policy Research Drew Johnson takes a Saturday drive by Al Gore’s during the time most environmentalists went dark:

    I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle Meade section of Nashville, at 8:48pm – right in the middle of Earth Hour. I found that the main spotlights that usually illuminate his 9,000 square foot mansion were dark, but several of the lights inside the house were on.

    In fact, most of the windows were lit by the familiar blue-ish hue indicating that floor lamps and ceiling fixtures were off, but TV screens and computer monitors were hard at work. (In other words, his house looked the way most houses look about 1:45am when their inhabitants are distractedly watching “Cheaters” or “Chelsea Lately” reruns.)

    The kicker, though, were the dozen or so floodlights grandly highlighting several trees and illuminating the driveway entrance of Gore’s mansion.

    I [kid] you not, my friends, the savior of the environment couldn’t be bothered to turn off the gaudy lights that show off his goofy trees.

    Exactly. If mankind can extinct the planet, more power to us. It’s natural selection, baby! Besides, if we can kill all plant life, then we’ll be able to return the earth’s atmosphere to its pristine condition before all of those trees polluted it with all of that oxygen.

    They give me migraines. I have to take incandescents on trips to screw into the hotel sockets so I don’t spend most of my time in the dark with a wet washrag over my face.

    I spent yesterday trapped in a school building basking in the big Fluos only to turn around and enjoy the same thing this morning in church. I finally had to come home and cozy up to an incandescent, but it’s too late. I’m going to have to take a painkiller and look for the sunglasses and the cold rag soon.

    I buy extra incandescents every month. My husband thinks I’m crazy, but the fluorescents don’t bother him (except the part where he gets to listen to me gripe endlessly about yet another government intrusion into our lives.)

    I just want to know where Al’s hiding my special dispensation to keep on using what doesn’t take a HazMat crew to dispose of . . . or did he save it for his power-sucking mansion?

    We turned on every light, fan, and electronic component in our house, plus turned on the self cleaning oven. Then we left and went shopping. based on the amount consumed ( 3 1/3 kwh) and our electricity rate, we used about 40 cents of electricity. If we had turned off what we usually have on during that time. we would have saved between 1-2 cents. What a bunch of hippie baloney.

    That there were stories about the dangers of fluorescent light, the flickering of the bulbs in office buildings where people work under them 10-14 hours a day was causing headaches.

    Late to the game here, but I know at least two people who had to work with sunglasses on because the fluourescent light caused severe headaches and other medical problems.

    But what is human suffering when global warming – sorry, global climate change – is “settled science”?

    Ironically, I was out to dinner at a well-lit restaurant during this time and I left my kitchen light on.

    The funny thing is, I am normally very conservative with utilities, for frugality and wanting my children to have resources left in their lifetime, not for global warming.

    Earth Hour, quite simply, is a scam. People are duped into thinking they can make a difference by turning off the lights for an hour and then quickly turning them back on (something which wastes energy, by the way). If people truly cared about the environment, they would calmly offer solutions to what others can do everyday instead of telling people to turn off their lights and appliances like doofuses for one hour a year. Sure, people get angry when you counter the false logic of this Earth Hour (and boy, did someone get mad at me on my blog!) but really common sense is what people should be aiming for.

    I’m also stocking up in incandescents, especially 40W appliance bulbs.
    (Can’t use a CFL in the Lava Lamp:)

    BTW, my Wal Mart now has 52W instead of 60W, and 32W instead of 40W in the standard bulbs. (Specialty [read: expensive] bulbs still have the normal wattage.)

    So they’re trying to save me energy, but giving me less light. I had been using 40W, but now I would have to use the 52W.
    (I did find normal wattage bulbs at Home Depot. I bought a bunch.)

    I NEED light.

    I turned on every light in my house. Powered up all the PCs, washer, dryer, PLASMA tv, home theater.

    You showed them! Even better, how about keeping it up everyday and really show them? Double–triple–quadruple your electricity bill and REALLY show them.

    On 11-19-2008 BHO said: Few challenges facing America and the world are more urgent than combating climate change.The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear.

    A hundred mostly Ph.D scientists said: With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true.

    (And, to the chagrin of econazis everywhere, they won’t find Fred Singer’s name among them.)

    HERE WE GO! At the recent ICCC convention, Dr. Lindzen helped in a big way to sharpen the wooden stake to drive into the teenie weenie evil ‘heart’ of the AGW SCAM. He has scientific evidence that the eco-nitwit’s claim of ‘positive feedback’, (al gore’s/hansen’s ‘tipping point’ BS), was pulled out of their ****.

    The Bottom Line

    The earth’s climate (in contrast to the climate in current climate GCMs) is dominated by a strong net negative feedback. Climate sensitivity is on the order of 0.3°C, and such warming as may arise from increasing greenhouse gases will be indistinguishable from the fluctuations in climate that occur naturally from processes internal to the climate system itself.
