1. Anyone notice how quiet Israel has been lately on Iran’s nuclear aspirations?
   The calm before the storm?

2. How to build consensus:

   Texas A&M has a large atmospheric sciences department. On their website there are 22 tenured and tenure track faculty. What is really unusual about the department is that all the regular faculty are seemingly required to sign a global warming loyalty oath called the climate change statement. Every faculty member except one new arrival has signed. None of the lowly adjunct faculty’s names appear….

4. Interesting juxtaposition:
   Warren Kinsella was adamant that his hero Pm jean chretien had no involvement or knowledge of Adscam

   I think he is wrong on both.

5. CBC headline reads:
   “Harper not in question period to address Senate scandal.”
   Yet the hypocrites at CBC knew where he was and he will be back on Tuesday.

11. ” Sign the petition: Ask Mr. Harper to come clean ”
    The Liberal Party has an on-line petition up.

    “I note this last decade or so has been fairly flat,” he told the Telegraph Hay Festival audience.”
    “No mate, temperatures haven’t risen in line with your ‘report’ because your ‘report’ was bollocks.”
