I was a big fan of Guido way back when he was making the rounds. I always wondered why he faded. He is more relevant now than ever.

He did a lot more skits than are available on You Tube. Now I am going to try to source them out.

There's an interesting video over at Jack's Newswatch and it's titled "Pushback in Britain".

http://www.jacksnewswatch.com/2009/04/21/pushback-in-britain/

It's a youtube video of fed-up British people,growing a set of balls finally by counter protesting against some imported and domestic pro-jihadists that were slagging British soldiers in the town of Luton,near London.

DEBKAfile reports on predictions of the possibility that Iran might build a nuclear bomb in as little as 60 days.

DEBKAfile's military sources cite some Western intelligence and nuclear weapons experts as predicting that Iran could turn out nuclear weapons some time in the next 12 months.

This estimate is based on Tehran's announcement that 7,000 centrifuges are in operation to enrich uranium. If all those machines were to work at top speed day and night, seven days a week, they could produce enough weapons-grade uranium to build a bomb in 60 days, say some intelligence sources. According to American experts, given the current rate of the program's development, Iran will be in a position to manufacture as many as 60 nuclear bombs and warheads in 12 to 18 months.

I think you'll all get a kick out of this L.A. based discussion blog.

It's not a political blog per say and thus has a wide spectrum of people with all kinds of views.

What's crystal clear though is that those on the Left are still in DEEP DENIAL that there's a severe left-leaning bias in the MSM.

More CNN trouble: (video at link)

A Christian Pastor was assaulted and "arrested" by CNN security guards for preaching and passing out Christian literature on what he believes to be a public sidewalk outside CNN headquarters in Atlanta. A civil lawsuit has been launched by the Pastor, but so far no criminal charges have been laid against the security guard for the assault.

"CBS’ Charles Osgood on the Sun - and a surprising suggestion

Holy Cow! Charles Osgood, a skeptic?

A QUIET SUN DOESN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.

excerpts:

I know you’ve already got a lot to worry about as it is, but something rather odd is going on — on the Sun.

The Sun normally undergoes an 11-year cycle of activity— and last year, it was supposed to have heated up — and, at its peak, would have a tumultuous boiling atmosphere, spitting out flares and huge chunks of super-hot gas.

Instead, it hit a 50-year low in solar wind pressure, a 55-year low in radio emissions, and a 100-year low in sunspot activity. Right now, the sun is the dimmest it’s been in nearly a century."

Freddie Mac acting CFO found dead in apparent suicide
28 mins ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – David Kellermann, acting chief financial officer of mortgage giant Freddie Mac, was found dead on Wednesday in his suburban Virginia home, a Fairfax County police spokeswoman said.

Police were called at 4:48 a.m. EDT to Reston, Virginia, spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell told Reuters.

Local media reported that Kellermann's wife called in an apparent suicide, but Caldwell did not elaborate on the cause of death.

The incident is "under investigation," she said.

According to Freddie Mac's website, Kellermann, 41, was with Freddie Mac for more than 16 years and named acting CFO in September.

Freddie Mac and rival mortgage finance company Fannie Mae were taken over by the U.S. government last year as mounting losses on housing investments weakened their balance sheets and played a role in the U.S. housing and global credit crisis.

“Our understanding is there will be a motion brought forward by someone who is obviously concerned by our sourcing from Israel,” he said.It's not clear who will introduce the resolution, but such a move is supported by one small peace association, BC Teachers for Peace and Global Education, which pushed for such a move in February.

The Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR) has had a small team in Jamaica over the last several months conducting training as part of a joint counter-terrorism program with that country.”

“CSOR was part of a significant expansion in 2006 of Canada’s special forces capabilities. That year Canadian Special Operations Forces Command was created to oversee JTF2, CSOR, the 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron at Petawawa and the Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit at Trenton.”

"WUWT Poll: What should we call the current solar minimum?

Although we’ve been covering this quiet sun issue for over a year on WUWT, the light bulb seems to have gone on for mainstream media right about now.

There is growing press coverage about the current state of the sun, most recently from Charles Osgood of CBS News as well as the BBC and other major outlets. While the sun slumbers deeper and has missed its cyclic snooze alarm, our media is finally waking up to the solar somnolence.

Here is a short roundup of news articles on this subject today:

‘Still Sun’ baffling astronomers

Scientists warn sun has dimmed

Sun ‘at its quietest for 100 years’

Has the sun gone in? Earth’s closest star ‘dimmest it’s been for a century’

So the question arises, now that this has been identified, what should we call it?

There have been some good ideas, such as naming it after Jack Eddy, who coined the phrase “Maunder Minimum“. There’s been some discussion of a “Gore Minimum”, but I don’t like the idea of giving Gore credit for something he has nothing to do with, or even likely understands. There’s been suggestion of “The Hansen Minimum” which makes a little more sense, since he’s an astronomer by training. On that note, Leif Svalgaard predicted this, so maybe it should be his honor.

So, I’ve decided to have a poll, and I’ll take suggestions for other names than what I’ve listed."
