We are doomed.. Run for your lives. The climate is changing....

so what? Nothing will be done during our life times. The solution is shutting down China and India's economy and encouraging nuclear technology world wide. You can't feed 6 billion of us with windmills. You can't get to work on a horse any more, and few people will will drop dead to make you feel better about the climate changes "supposed" to be coming within the next century or so. The solutions are too politically and physically impracticable. (Such as windmills covering Massachusetts coast or giving third world despots reactors..) Who are these people kidding?

Well, well. Some “climate expert” on “The Weather Channel” wants to take away AMS certification from those of us who believe the recent “global warming” is a natural process. So much for “tolerance”, huh? I have been in operational meteorology since 1978, and I know dozens and dozens of broadcast meteorologists all over the country. Our big job: look at a large volume of raw data and come up with a public weather forecast for the next seven days. I do not know of a single TV meteorologist who buys into the man-made global warming hype. I know there must be a few out there, but I can’t find them. Here are the basic facts you need to know: *Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story. Even the lady at “The Weather Channel” probably gets paid good money for a prime time show on climate change. No man-made global warming, no show, and no salary. Nothing wrong with making money at all, but when money becomes the motivation for a scientific conclusion, then we have a problem. For many, global warming is a big cash grab.

Back on track at Pokerstars.....

Back to my winning ways. The droughts over. Back to 1 million, seven hundred thousand +. After several months of mediocre results, I'm back.

I just needed to get back to betting and raising correctly. Play premium cards and bet them to the hilt. Raise or fold.

Found this on digg / News . Reminds me of some of my dad's relatives for some reason:

How government works.....It is what it is ......

I think our government works very well. It works for whom ever pays to control it. Only influence we have is our vote. Our vote is controlled by what we believe to be correct. What we believe to be correct is controlled by our media. The media is controlled by corporate interests. We vote because we are convinced by  corporate interests to do "what's right" or noble.  Who controls the "media"?

And as we’ve seen from our elected officials in Washington, they’re no different from most national politicians. They reward their friends (the people who help them get elected) and punish their enemies (the people who support their opposition in an election). It’s not personal, it’s just business. There’s a lot of money to be made controlling the levers of government, and thus it attracts the sort of people who are willing to use government to enrich themselves (or their friends). It’s only rarely that we have stories like that of William “Cold Cash” Jefferson, but none who watch government can realistically claim that slightly less egregious (and often completely legal) affairs don’t go on every day.

My kind of story...

Been all over with poker the last few weeks. Needed a break. Too many bad beats. Still ahead, though. On the other hand, I love true stories that prove I ain't got it so bad.  You got to read this to believe it. Actually you would have to be there to believe it.  Found this on Digg News:

On April 13, 2029, asteroid 2004 MN4 will fly past Earth only 18,600 miles (30,000 km) above the ground. For comparison, geosynchronous satellites orbit at 22,300 miles (36,000 km). "At closest approach, the asteroid will shine like a 3rd magnitude star, visible to the unaided eye from Africa, Europe and Asia--even through city lights," says Jon Giorgini of JPL. This is rare. "Close approaches by objects as large as 2004 MN4 are currently thought to occur at 1000-year intervals, on average." Read more here

Aitheists can be Religious Fantics ....

I found this on digg You'll have to scroll down to read the comments to make sense of my post:



...It is as though [creationist scientist] looked at the measurement of the distance from N.Y to San Francisco claimed that the true distance from sea to sea was 460,000 times smaller, namely about ten yards. Maybe they are right all the rest of us wrong. All I have done here is calculate how spectacularly wrong we would be if they were right.

Let's explore the following assumptions:

Religion has killed more people than (fill in the blank) Wow that's a stretch. How about the atheist regimes of Mao and Stalin? (This people used SCIENCE to murder millions)



Darwin says that over a long period of time (millions of years, billions) we changed from simpler creatures to more complicated. Has their been enough time between periodic "cleanings of the planet" found in the fossil record?



Is the argument with a professor of thermodynamics, Andrew Macintosh, calling him names going to bolster anyones case. Just prove him wrong scientifically. Might be able to fire him. Or do his reputation harm, if that's what you want.

Government is just getting started.....

Why should anyone be surprised, let alone amazed, on how this stuff doesn't get reported. In the name of profit we are spied on constantly and no one seems to be aware of it. That's what is driving the new economy called, Tracking . From the time we get up until we go to bed. Nonstop nanny ism. But when the government gets involved it becomes a danger to society. Remember the government makes the rules. Po' folk don't. Soon a new National i.d. card comes out. Rumored to be "chipped" for ease of identifying "problems". Better not screw up. Even credit information is now used against people applying for housing, insurance, or jobs.

Hmm...will government employees be exempt ?

Found this posted on Slashdot today (not a typical paranoid rant) :

The sad state of affairs is that Big Brother probably became a quiet part of our lives a lot earlier. The big question now is: how much worse can it get?Am I just accustomed to old ways? Does the new generation, born with these restrictions, feel the weight of these bonds and recoil from my fears as paranoia? What can I, a person with no political interests--a person that would really rather think that the people in office are there because they're looking out for us, our rights, and our freedoms and not because their short-sightedness is creating a police state--do to stem the tide?"

Corporate Capitalism is a menace that must be controlled....

I'm a capitalist. Small "c" . I believe everyone on the planet should be. I don't think anyone should have to spend their lives "grubbing" for a living working for nothing but food and shelter. However, that being said, now days more and more of us are doing just that. Our very lives are dominated by multinational and national corporations that suck the life blood out of us and create a class of serfs. Well fed,fat,dumb and happy maybe,but slaves. This is Christmas week end. Been to mall lately? Let me make my point. For the corporations it's spend until you bust. You suck if you don't buy everyone you have ever known something for the holiday. Crass consumerism is what I'm talking about. If we don't consume, the media,(some of the largest corporations on the planet) climbs on our backs and declares us unAmerican or "Scrooges." It's all about greed and catering to it. And God help anyone who would have the temerity to disagree. (It's death to the infidel time then.)

When I , a right-winger, talks like this you have figure there is a quiet revolution going on. Not just me and a few left-wing loons but millions of us peons. For instance, let's look at Microsoft's dominance on the desktops of our computers. Nothing could be more insidious. One company determining what you do, watch or play on the computers you own? How about music publishers suing people for buying music then giving it away? How about using our tax dollars to fatten their corporate coffers? Had any politicians bribed lately?

Millions of us are now just saying no way. Apple and open source alternatives exist. I can do anything I want using Linux and not pay a dime for software. No on can spy on me, either. The rest of the world? China, for instance, is going to it's own standards on music, movies and education. All on Linux and it's fellow open source software. And they are not alone. Here's what Jeremy Allison, (of Samba fame) had to say about this a year before he resigned from Novell sellout to Microsoft, therefore sticking to his convictions:

.......They will do anything to prevent it, pass any law, remove any civil right or fair use provision that gets in their way. I began to understood this when I had a discussion with a lawyer who was arguing that "we just need stiffer penalties, we need to make an example of people swapping files on the Internet". To which I responded, "why don't we just execute people who break the speed limit ?". Does anyone remember the slogan that used to be printed on vinyl records, "Home taping is illegal and is killing music" ? Read more.

They gave all that money to the UN?

09:22:59 AM


Are they nuts?

The U.N. is definitely the last people to give billions to. Ever hear of "Food for Oil"? Might better have just dumped the money on the residents after the tsunami than give these professional so called do gooders that much loot.

According to the BBC, which claims it got access to a UN database, nearly two years after donors pledged billions to help the victims only half the money has been spent. Of the half a million people left homeless by the disaster, only a third have been permanently rehoused. Where's the money? This article breaks it down and offers a few answers. More…

Fascism? Nah!!!!

I browse the both left wing nut sites and the right to see what they're up to. I'm more interested in the left because they've regained some power the last elections. We're in for more pc correctness of course, but nothing substantive because no one takes them that seriously. After all "saving the environment" is big business. And that is all it's about in America. Behind the scenes in politics powerful interests decide how our wealth is used. There is a constant drum beat all through our political scene to increase our money, labor rate and upgrading our standard of living. All business, tv, magazines, blogs or what ever need to grow their revenue or disappear from the scene. Any thing threatening the status quo is attacked . Whether it's hippies on the rampage. blacks rioting, or terrorists get anywhere near affecting corporate interests they are either stopped or bribed to join.



Though fascist elements exist in any society, finding them during an new war declared is not a serious concern. After all it's simply business as usual. Check out this guy RexRhino who makes my point, i.e.it's all about making money, creating and maintaining power, very elegantly.

Virtually all mainstream politics in America want the U.S. government to have a broad and vast increase of powers, they simply disagree on how the powers should be used. The right wants vast government powers to observe and search private property in order to fight terrorism… the left wants vast government powers to observe and search private property to fight environmental crimes. The right wants to ban pornography because it is sinful, the Left wants.... read more here.

If evolution is Gospel.......

What are these guys so afraid of?

Why not prove evolution once in for all and get it over with. Oops, could this be another myth? Could the scientific proof of evolution be a little slender ? You mean like global warming?

Read this and wonder about primal fear involving religious fanaticism . I thought Christians and Muslims were stringent but what about "men of science ?" Replace evolution in the sentence, "undermine the teaching of evolution" with creationism or scientific design and see what I'm talking about:

Americans United for Separation of Church and State today lauded a Georgia public school board’s decision to drop its defense of anti-evolution disclaimers for science textbooks.

The Cobb County School Board has agreed to settle the long-running legal fracas over its 2002 decision to place anti-evolution stickers in high school biology textbooks.

In an agreement announced today, Cobb County school officials state that they will not order the placement of “any stickers, labels, stamps, inscriptions, or other warnings or disclaimers bearing language substantially similar to that used on the sticker that is the subject of this action.” School officials also agreed not to take other actions that would undermine the teaching of evolution in biology classes.

Boy Arrested For Opening Xmas Gift Early

Sounds like a real tough old bitch to me! Heres our government at work.

... mother has kid, 12, nabbed after Nintendo Game Boy is unwrapped DECEMBER 5--A South Carolina boy, 12, was arrested Sunday morning after his mother called police to report that he had unwrapped a Christmas present without her permission. According to a Rock Hill Police Department report (a copy of which you'll find below), the child opened a Nintendo Game Boy, though he had been directed not to by family members. When the boy's mother learned that the $85 gift had been opened, she called cops, who charged the juvenile with petty larceny. More

global warming: Save Your Selves...

I love media driven fables. I don't know how many times this stuff gets sold but seems like a constant refrain. A lot of money to be made I guess. Oh, I'm not saying the climate doesn't fluctuate just that the same chicken littles swore up down we were headed for a new ice age only 20 years ago. Again, science gets perverted to make political and economic points. Check this out and see what you think:



Media Shows Irrational Hysteria on Global Warming

"I had another interesting experience around the time my paper in Science was published. I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. He said, "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period." "The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was a time of unusually warm weather that began around 1000 AD and persisted until a cold period known as the "Little Ice Age" took hold in the 14th century. ... The existence of the MWP had been recognized in the scientific literature for decades. But now it was a major embarrassment to those maintaining that the 20th century warming was truly anomalous. It had to be "gotten rid of."

Tax man cometh....

Ready for taxes? Did I rain on your Christmas? Who thinks of taxes this time of year. Businesses that's who.And you should too. Got to get those tax breaks lined up this time of year. From now until April, taxes take over our world. After all big government needs your blood to survive. Your the only slaves they have!

Here's the odd thing about it. People really think the Feds pay for government services with their tax dollars? Boy are they ignorant. In actuality, little Federal income taxes are used for anything but paying government expenses; i.e. salaries, internal expenses (rents, utilities, perks, handouts to corporations) and bribing important constituencies. The rest, the biggest government expense, is interest, borrowed from private banks, on the national debt.

Matter of fact, most of your tax dollars go to pay private banks and foreign government banks. Interest and bribes to keep the world safe for American corporations. With out these payments, the American empire would cease to exist. We wouldn't want that to happen, would we?

It's necessary to keep these governments (banks) tied to us for trade and keeping the oil supply flowing. After all we did conquer the world in 1945, why should we give it back? Friendly governments are essential to maintain our standard of living. Why shouldn't we support these governments (banks)?

Or are they?

Not according to Aaron Russo, entertainer manager and movie maker, who begs to differ, here's a piece of his bio.

(Aaron Russo) ....turned to producing feature films, his production of "The Rose", introduced Bette Midler to motion picture audiences. Midler received an Academy Award nomination as best actress. "The Rose" is considered by many to be the classic rock n' roll film. Russo also produced "Trading Places," starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, which has become a Christmas classic, and "Teachers," starring Nick Nolte, Morgan Freeman, and Ralph Macchio.

/> Well got my ass kicked at the pool tournament today. Won two out of five. Should have took at least four. Our team got smacked . I'm the ace. Shows how badly we did.

I keep hovering at 1 million seven hundred at Pokerstars. Getting superstitious over bad beats. Pretty quiet here even though this is the busy time of year for the resort. they raised rents pretty high and a lot of people are staying a way. Patty and I are in our slow period so money's tight. getting a few phone orders though I have the main site down for redo.

Well I have new pool tournament tomorrow maybe things will improve. Our team felt like Custer at the Little Big Horn. And we remember what he said to Major Reno: "My God look at all the fucking Indians." lol

I'm still waiting for global warming......

 Winter comes early and Al Gore's still selling global warming nonsense. I remember scientists predicting the coming ice age in which we were all going to freeze to death starting by 1980. Now they simply ignore this wild ass guess and found something else to sell. It's all our fault. If only we would move into a cave and reduce our consumption every thing would work out. If only we would obey our governments and do as we are told. If only the Chinese , Indians and other third world economies would just stop feeding there populations, every thing would be hunky dory. Yea right.



The truth is that we live next to a variable star and periodically we get warmer and colder. Sometimes we get more plants growing and more co-2 and some time less. Also, we get more volcano activity off and on and spew more chemicals in the air that effects our climate. If we were serious about it we would go nuclear for electricity and mass produce hydrogen for our cars. Good luck. Best thing to do is laugh and ignore these left-wing nut jobs and consume every thing in sight before we die. Heh Heh.



Far as I'm concerned a lot of this stuff is all worshiping Gaia. There is an awful lot more religion in this than meets the eye.
