The Storm That Never Was

It started last Sunday.
Local meteorologists warned of an impending storm that was going to hit us Tuesday evening with everything from sleet and freezing rain to twelve inches of snow. Every newscast became increasingly dire so that by Tuesday afternoon, people were being advised to "make final preparations".
Wednesday morning I arose early, figuring the overnight storm would make the daily trek impregnable at my normal rate of speed. With the exception of slush covered streets, there really was no problem, except that some local schools jumped the gun and canceled schools. And some parents wondered why.
By Wednesday evening, with more dire predictions, meteorologists, while not apologizing for their overreaction, explained that sometimes, storms don't take the path that have been predicted for them.

Which caused me to wonder: if all these meteorologists, with years of training and education in the science of weather, couldn't accurately predict the course of a storm, then how can Al Gore, with no training in meteorological science at all make his dire predictions about global warming climate change?

Once A Quitter Forever On Twitter

Ah yes, the good ol' 2008 campaign, where Obama supporters were compared to a cult. Not only by Clinton supporters, but carried over by them there Republicans following Obama's nomination.
Now I ask you, does this sound a bit cultish to you?

And it was all politics that drew them out early on the bitter cold holiday because "just being near her" was like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Dear faithful readers, lemme introduce ya to the new cult, the First Church of Sarah, all Sarah all the time. Seems ol' Church lady Sarah was runnin' again, only this time it was in a 5k run. Which, a familiar pattern, she didn't finish. And the words used to describe her presence there? Celebrity. Just what the McCain campaign (and Down Home Rogue sarah) accused President Obama of being.

"It's exciting. There's just something about her"

Yeah. Right. She's as dumb as you, therefore she makes you feel comfortable.

Happy Veteran's Day From The American Insurgency

Dick Cheney Plays The Wrong Card In Another Shameless Attempt To Cover His White Pasty Ass

Looka there at Dick Cheney. His grasp of the English vernacular is less spectacular than mines!
He has accused Barack Obama of libeling torture. Well, not libeling torture, but embarrassin' CIA operatives who used torture under the Cheney created label of "enhanced interrogation techniques". C'mon, Mr. President, Cheney paid someone good (taxpayer)money to develop that term to cover his ass, the least Mr. Obama could do is use it now and then.
So now Dick(head) Cheney thinks that Barack should stand behind these brave intelligence officials who followed Cheney's orders and violated international law. What a swell guy. But could it be that Cheney is more concerned about his liability as the one authorized the violation of not only US and international law, but every law of decency known to man?
Cheney likes to act as if he's concerned for our defense professionals, but really, if'n he was that concerned, why did he send so many of them to die in Iraq for no good reason?
