Michigan Messenger » Dow-sponsored Walleye Fest to donate contaminated fish to the poor.
This appears to be a way to replace the superfund. Let wildlife soak up the toxins your company put into the environment, hold a public relations fishing derby, and donate the contaminated fish to the poor.
Possibly shortening their lifespans, thus reducing their requirement for Medicare and Medicaid.
Yes, yes…I’m extrapolatng quite a bit at the end there.

According to Anthony Watts Global Warming isn’t happening because of badly placed weather stations.
I guess if we can just find some distractingly placed financial institutions our current Recession would just go away.
This came out a few weeks ago, but it is well worth pointing out again.
Having women raped, then recruiting them as suicide bombers so as to redeem their honour.
Humanity’s capacity for evil can really bring one down.
FT.com / Companies / Financials – Stimulus bill extends cap on bank bonuses.
Apparently, bankers want to have bailout money without strings attached. The following line is amusing:
Bankers argued that the amendment, introduced by Chris Dodd, a Democratic senator from Connecticut, would cause a brain drain from the industry and could have the counterproductive effect of raising cash salaries.
Earth to bankers, where are you going to go? You helped make this mess.
Do you think that having Lehman Brothers on your resume is a selling point?
How appropriate. Plumbing the depths of inanity.
Let’s hope he put the Republicans where they deserve to be.
In the trashbin of history.

It would seem that Kate Macmillan and the denizens of the aforementioned blog are all in a tizzy. It seems that they have found yet another photo of a badly placed “official” station and that this is just more proof that the lefties want to destroy capitalism as we know it.
She links to this site http://gallery.surfacestations.org/main.php?g2_itemId=39629&&g2_fromNavId=xa6c84115&g2_GALLERYSID=065e5a1424c5698d71d429c4f647d7b7
and repeats the claim that this is an Official NOAA climate station.
But something is missing…proof that this is the OFFICIAL NOAA Climate station, and not a volunteer weather station as indicated on page 13 of this document…

But this is not the first time Kate et. al. have done this. One of her favorite activities is tracking down badly placed weather stations (they are out there) and posting about them. The implication is that since there are some badly placed station, all weather information gathered anywhere cannot be trusted, therefore Global warming is not happening.
This allows them to ignore ice shelves breaking off, the Arctic being almost ice free for the first time in historic times, and in particular the rise in the global temperature average.

What is it with conservatives? Are they so desperate to maintain the illusion they are relevent that they will break the 9th commandment willy-nilly?

I seem to remember that one of the arguments against floridation was that it caused impotence. The hury is still out on that.
I wonder if Conservatives chew plastic?
