In tonight’s entertainment en route to the tips Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, along with vocal group The Pied Pipers (whose members at that time included a young Jo Stafford) perform a swinging tune about the delights of Winter Weather.

RE: Climate and Human Civilization over the last 18,000 years
A most interesting chart but hard to read. If you are interested, here is a link to the original article on WUWT. It has a link to a PDF file at full resolution that is much easier to read. And also the full text of the original posting.

Interesting French list. Personally, regarding important, I’d exclude all the artists, important as they are. Important to me are those who made a political/historical impact so all the really bad guys would be there, also scientists and inventors and explorers.
Why no Colt or Ford. How about Kalashnikov? Obviously Marx, Lenin, Mao, Mohammad, Hitler, Napoleon. On the good political side, Augustus Caesar, Constantine I, Jesus, and Bhudda. Obviously Columbus, Magellan, Cabral.
But what about the first person to figure out how to control fire and cook food. The first person to deliberately plant seed for food. The discoverer of iron.
I can’t stand people who quote from all the year-end “10 best” of whatever crap. Why people fall for those things is beyond me. Not agreeing with the list is tantamount to poking someone in the eye. “Ya but, no but, ya but, it’s number 3 on Dweeble Shyster’s 10 most totally true cave-fables of the year list! How dare you, you, you… racist!”
Wake me up when it’s February.

DEAR SANTA,
I AM Joe Molnar,age 81, my wife Anna (married 60 years) and I live in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada and I have decided to write to you via Kate McMillans’ WORLD RANKED, “Small Dead Animals” blog in order to get your attention away from the kiddies of the WORLD and help an oldie with HIS wish!
SANTA, I need a very modest mobile home vehicle which my wife can drive while I walk, perhaps ride a bicycle, or if need be, ride a DONKEY (petition in hand) across this land, garnering a few million signatures on the petition to our current Federal Government, seeking to have our Canadian Constitution AMENDED to enshrine individual ‘PROPERTY RIGHTS’ into our Constitution as LAW!
THis is the petition…
PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
We, the undersigned citizens of Canada draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT : as individual Citizens of Canada WE do NOT enjoy the protection of “PROPERTY RIGHTS” within the Constitution of Canada ! hence, THE LAW of Canada!
THEREFORE: Your petitioners call upon Parliament to forthwith, incorporate and entrench FOREVER , individual “PROPERTY RIGHTS” INTO THE CONSTITUTION OF CANADA.
SO Santa, pay attention , this is not about me but about a petition aimed at thwarting the threat of a NEW DEMOCRAT and COMMUNIST administration in Canada led by THOMAS MULCAIR to be in a position to ever deny individual ownership of sweat equity owned PROPERTY in Canada!
So SANTA, this letter made PUBLIC today, is meant to seek some well heeled sponsor to provide a modest (on loan)
motor home for the duration of my petition seeking walk.
SO SANTA, please understand, I AM not asking YOU for any “miracle” , I AM using your persona as a means and “Small Dead Animals” blog as your sleigh to create for me miracle.
A willing sponsor who agrees with my “PROPERTY RIGHTS” PETITION FOR CANADIANS.
NO SANTA, I AM not nuts, even though I am setting myself up by putting my real name out to the whole WORD!
Do you see SANTA, Conservtives Conrad Black, Mark Steyn, and Patrick Muttart, have or had, all abandoned Canada so it is left to the likes of Conservative blogs like Kate’ “Small Dead Animals” and you SANTA and ME AND my I AM to carry the day, to enshrine “property rights” in Canadian Law.
NO SANTA, I AM not nuts!
This will be my last posting effort here at SDA in regard to my intended “Property rights” petition.
MY wife and I do have a normal family life, and we will be hosting some neighbours on this Saturday night, share a few wobbly pop, share stories, and of course leave them departing with AULD LANG SYNE ringing in their ears!
SO SANTA, look after the kiddies, but before you finish your deliveries, stop at the CBC, go to the taping of the DRAGONS DEN and kick some millionaire DRAGON ASSES and one of them sponsor JOE Molnar with domicile wheels while he walks on the road!
Thanks SANTA, and MRS CLAUSE TOO!
OH, SANTA, “FELIZ NAVIDAD!”
Well, the community activist OBLAMER is up to it again. Now he’s gonna show those pesky Ruskies up, by sending “gay athletes” as a delegation to Sochi. That’ll put the fear of Allah into them for sure.
Billie Jean King, and Caitlin Cahow (who?) will bring their carpet m______g ways to Russia and show them up, oh yeah…..
Typical Oblamer, all about symbolism, and short on substance…….
Re-writing history according to your war story:
———-
The U.S. Army War College, which molds future field generals, has begun discussing whether it should remove its portraits of Confederate generals — including those of Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson.
Nestled in rural Pennsylvania on the 500-acre Carlisle Barracks, the war college is conducting an inventory of all its paintings and photographs with an eye for rehanging them in historical themes to tell a particular Army story.

Obama is a coward – too chicken to fight his own battles. Sending proxies to Sochi and in essence saying “Let’s you and him fight.”
Yes, I liked that one, too.

“Barbara Walters recently told Piers Morgan that she was disappointed in Barack Obama. “We thought he was going to be the next messiah”, she said.”
“Peggy Noonan is also disappointed in him.”
“The epiphany came to her she said, as she recalled how Obama stood next to a fake sign language interpreter at Mandela’s funeral. The man later turned out not only to be a fraud but insane, and probably a murderer to boot. “If no one is keeping enough of an eye on the Secret Service” then no one is keeping an eye on the country.”

Killer pussy
http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/magazine/dec13/felines-and-bird-deaths.asp
According to a recent Environment Canada report that examined how human-related activities affect bird mortality, feral and domestic cats are the biggest killers of birds, claiming 196 million lives every year.
And enviros gnash their teeth when ANYTHING “oil patch” kills a few birds while their pussies are laying waste to tens of millions of birds.
