Say whatever you like about Christ but mock a pedophile prophet – no names here, would not want to excite the excitable – and it will be your head. Not only that but the so called progressives will sneer and call you a racist even as your blood drains into the gutter.

Assessment of the reliability of climate predictions based on comparisons with historical time series
[…] In this study, we have retrieved temperature and precipitation records, at least 100-year long, from a number of stations worldwide. We have also retrieved a number of climatic model outputs, extracted the time series for the grid points closest to each examined station, and produced a time series for the station location based on best linear estimation. Finally, to assess the reliability of model predictions, we have compared the historical with the model time series using several statistical indicators including long-term variability, from monthly to overyear (climatic) time scales. Based on these analyses, we discuss the usefulness of climatic model future projections (with emphasis on precipitation) from a hydrological perspective, in relationship to a long-term uncertainty framework.
From the Albany, Florida outputs …
Among the conclusions;
…none of the models proves to be systematically better than the others… model predictions are much poorer than an elementary prediction based on the time average… future climate projections [are] not credible.

The RCMP investigation into alleged misconduct by Canadian Human Rights Commission employees goes national on CTV News tonight*.
A big thanks to all of you who have pushed this story behind the scenes with your local media and politicians, in your opinion and editorial columns, and to Mike Duffy, who has been the pointy end of the spear poking at the MSM in recent weeks.
Update – *my information (by way of Mike Duffy) indicated that Bob Fife would be reporting on the RCMP investigation this evening. I didn’t catch all of the National, but the part I did had no mention of it.
He’s survived the Rich Playboy Disease that took so many others before their time, so I wouldn’t count the old buffoon out just yet. The Anchoress;
“My prediction: Someone – probably Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthews – will go completely over the top and say that the Kennedy illness will not mark the “end of Camelot…how fitting that it is being revived this very night by Barack Obama, Ted Kennedy’s handpicked successor to the enduring legacy,” or some such gag-inducing nonsense.”
Count on it.
That Ted Kennedy is being described as the Kennedy “patriarch” is an indication of the steepness of the clan’s decline.
Further thoughts: I take no pleasure in the news, either, but there’s something in the knowledge that this is a man who once chose to leave a young woman to die, that has an eroding effect on my sympathy.
Just remember the name Ted Kennedy the next time someone equates “he’ll have to live with it for the rest of his life” with “punishment”.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have begun an investigation into alleged criminal conduct by members of the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
The conduct in question was revealed at an extraordinary hearing on March 25th, a hearing the CHRC desperately tried to keep closed to the press.
An officer of Bell Canada, appearing under a subpoena, testified that the CHRC had hacked into a private citizen’s Internet account, to cover their electronic tracks as they surfed anti-Semitic websites under the alias “Jadewarr”. You can read the transcript of the hearing here — a transcript the CHRC did not release to the public.
The victim of the CHRC’s illegal hacking, Nelly Hechme, told reporters that she was “completely shocked” by the CHRC’s conduct. Canada’s Privacy Commissioner, who has jurisdiction over the CHRC, is now investigating the matter.
As usual, there’s a round-up of recent CHRC commentary at Free Mark Steyn

BBC News, July 30, 2007:
A new analysis of Atlantic hurricanes says their numbers have doubled over the last century. The study says that warmer sea surface temperatures and changes in wind patterns caused by climate change are fuelling much of the increase.
BBC News, May 18, 2008:
Hurricanes and tropical storms will become less frequent by the end of the century as a result of climate change, US researchers have suggested. But the scientists added their data also showed that there would be a “modest increase” in the intensity of these extreme weather events.
Related – “Three prominent researchers agree, two have reversed positions. This I think it is safe to declare the “Increased hurricanes to global warming link” as DEAD.”

Israel embody the vessel of boiling blood of horror and perfidy in demonic vileness for its pattern of terrorism and murder in the name of Zionist ideology. It has earned the arsenal of nuclear warheads through stolen intelligence in betrayal, estimated to number between 200 to over 500, through a covert development at Dimona underground nuclear reactor built in the late 50’s, to which President Kennedy, as an anti-nuclear weapon peacenik who signed Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, objected and had considerable tense relationship with the then-Third Prime Minister David Ben Gurion before his abrupt resignation for “personal reasons” on June 21, 1963. After the murder of JFK, Israel has extended its Zionistic tentacle to grasp the United States by the neck to leech on to that manifest the radical foreign policy about-face to morally and materially support State of Israel in no uncertain (and unconditional) terms.

Shrinking brains, great balls of methane fire, and wee helpless babies bursting into flame – can the global warming news get any worse?
Why, yes! It can!

The top secret flying saucer program of the Third Reich.
NOAA reports that April 2008 was a full degree (F) below normal making it the 29th coldest April out of 115 years for the United States, the coldest in 11 years. Much of the western 2/3rds of the lower 48 were colder than normal. In Washington State, it was the second coldest April on record. In contrast in the east, in New York State it was the 3rd warmest.

More great moments in socialism;
THE ZIMBABWEAN government said yesterday that weapons carried by China’s so-called “ship of shame”, the An Yue Jiang, had arrived in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital, despite an international campaign to prevent the 77 tonnes of arms reaching President Robert Mugabe’s regime.
[…]
The handful of South African correspondents in Zimbabwe say the government’s campaign of terror is widespread but largely unreported. Restrictions on movements, imposed by the government and reinforced by a lack of fuel, mean that country areas cannot be reached, and it is there that the government violence is most intense. Many who voted for Tsvangirai in March will be afraid to do so again in June.
Zimbabwe’s economy is in a prolonged free-fall. Unemployment exceeds 80%. The world’s worst rate of inflation now surpasses 165,000%. A Zim$500 million note went into circulation last week, and is worth less than a pound.
Meanwhile, the violence spilled over into South Africa. Last week, five townships in Johannesburg erupted as local residents attacked Zimbabwean neighbours, accusing them of stealing jobs, houses and women. Zimbabwean houses were looted and burned down. Three million Zimbabweans, a quarter of the population, have fled to South Africa as economic and human rights refugees. Three immigrants were killed, hundreds wounded and many Zimbabwean women were raped as the rampage continued this weekend.
