Global Warming! Very interesting.

Please read the last paragraph!

Global Warming …The Washington Post

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen , Norway .
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

I apologize! I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922. As reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post – nearly 88 years ago!

THE EMPEROR IN LONDON

I just confirmed this was written for Scripp News by Dale McFeathers (whom many of you know from the Washington Post). The link to the actual article is http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/42183

If you’re not sure what “big government” implies, take a look at this…

But you’ve already read about this in your local newspaper, right? Oh, you didn’t?
OK then, maybe you saw it on CNN. No? Hmmm… interesting.

We may never see health care again the way it used to be, but “Emperor Obama” took six (6) doctors with him for a 3-day visit to London – along with 494 other essential staff.

You just gotta love this spread-the-wealth, hopey-changey thing.

A Special Message From Uncle Jay

Texas Beer Joint Sues Church

In Mt. Vernon, Texas, Drummond’s Bar began construction on expansion of their building to increase their business.

In response, the local Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from expanding with petitions and prayers. Work progressed right up until the week before the grand reopening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground.

After the bar burning to the ground by a lightning strike the church folks were rather smug in their outlook, bragging about “the power of prayer”, until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church “was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means”.

In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building’s demise.

The judge read through the plaintiff’s complaint and the defendant’s reply and at the opening hearing he commented, “I don’t know how I’m going to decide this, but it appears from the paperwork that we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that now does not.”

True Story.
