Man, that's some good frothing!

Chesterfields! So round, so firm, so fully packed with tobacco reminiscent of skunk piss.

I am reminded of a poem.

Magna Est Veritas

Here, in this little Bay,
Full of tumultuous life and great repose,
Where, twice a day,
The purposeless, glad ocean comes and goes,
Under high cliffs, and far from the huge town,
I sit me down.
For want of me the world's course will not fail:
When all its work is done, the lie shall rot;
The truth is great, and shall prevail,
When none cares whether it prevail or not.

Coventry Patmore (1823-1896)

As someone once said, why should we believe the government about global warming, if they can't even get the Food Pyramid right? The idea that a high carb/low fat diet was good for you contributed to the type 2 diabetes epidemic.

SO.....we should burn (and hence convert it into CO2) all that cursed methane as quickly as we can, lest it get into the atmosphere. I'm game.

Them people at O'Reilly really need to stick to what they have some clue about.

Does this mean AlBore has competition for the "Obsessively Unhinged Wannabee Climate Nanny" job?

Once again I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you.

I read your excellent comments over at O'Really(?). It sounds like you're trying to argue with a mob. I've been called stupid because I don't believe (

When this blows over, do you think you will hear any mea culpas?

Actually, "So round, so firm, so fully packed" was Luckies, I think.

Lucky Strike also had LS/MFT on the bottom of each pack. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I discovered that was intended to stand for "Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco", having been told as a child that it meant "Lord, Save Me From Truman..."

Doesn't freezing expand, and when melting, contracts? When a one gallon plastic jug filled with water freezes, the plastic bulges. Freeze a capped bottle of Orange Crush and the bottle is likely to break. And a can of Greenland with ice one mile deep will be a smaller can filled with water.

Will wine cease to gladden? Will the young not fall in love? Will mothers not care for their children?

How, then, will life be destroyed in any important way?
