Diplomad's Top Ten Generally-Accepted Lies

Great stuff. Not really new, but always good to be reminded.

They're all good, but here's number 10:

We're all going to die of global warming. We are all going to die; that part is true. But Diplomads are not too worried about global warming. We can find articles in the media 20, 30 years ago that warned of a sooner-than-expected new ice age. OK, we can be persuaded that too many cars with bad exhaust pipes can pollute the air, but not nearly as much as when a volcano erupts. It's freezing cold all over the United States this winter, with horrible snow and ice storms. Our countrymen in places like Nebraska or North Dakota are probably thinking "Boy, I sure wish those scientists were right and we could get some global warming real soon."

Sort of like Dennis Miller said: "The temperature is going to rise 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit over the next fifty years? Well, okay. I always was a little chilly anyway. And then in another 50 years it's going to rise another 3.6 degrees? No problem; I'll just tell my grandkids that we moved to Scottsdale."

Thanks to NickS.

Ace-- Drudge siren: FBI search for dirty bomb in Boston.

Hope it's a false alarm. . .

I don't have strong opinions on global warming, but:

A. "Global Warming" does not concretely indicate that everything will be warmer, all the time. In fact, freakish climates that include strangely cold weather, weird shifts are PART of global warming, from my limited understanding of the theory. So when right-wingers smart off on this literal interpretation, "ha ha, Al Gore gave a global warming speech on the coldest day in 10 years, HAW HAW!", I guess it kind of sets them up to look stupid.

B. I know that you and Dennis Miller are kidding, but a ONE degree difference in global terms has a huge impact on things like sea level, etc. So that's sort of a throwaway joke.

Bill,
the question is not really whether the world is warming right now (it is) it's whether this is caused by man or is a part of a natural cycle. The evidence that global warming is manmade is extremely tenuous at best as evidenced by the inability of any of the computer models used to prove anthropogenic global warming to accurately predict past weather based on levels of CO2 in the air. In fact there are interesting studies that have been able to compare global temperature changes to changes in the level of solar energy released by the sun. I will admit however that when you get the proponents from both sides together the answer usually is we cant be sure what is causing the changes.

Look at it this way, in 5 Billion years the sun will run out of fuel, expand and deep fry the Big Blue Marble.
But in 3 Billion years, the Andromeda Galaxy is going to collide with the Milky Way most likely destroying both galaxies. Either way, the Earth is screwed.
And you'll have been dead and recycled a few times over by then anyway. So DON"T PANIC!

OH MY GOD! THE ICE CAPS ARE MELTING!

And they are, you know. ON FUCKING MARS, WHERE THERE ARE NO GODDAMNED SUV'S. Now can we all chill the fuck out a bit, and admit that maybe, just maybe, global warming is due to solar activity rather than "greenhouse gases"?

Besides, I never did like cold weather, and the thought of hurricanes and tsunami's wiping out all the Leftards on the coasts just gives me a tremendous stiffy.

What? I have the Wolcottizer turned on a little bit high? Sorry, strike that last paragraph.

All this global warming talk is making me nostalgic about the good old days when all we had to worry about was overpopulation and the ensuing mass starvation it would bring.

Personally, I'm hoping for a massive meteor to strike the earth and wipe out humanity sometime in the next 50 years....you know, just to show those environmental whackos how wrong they are about worrying about global warming so much.

Posted by: WindyCity on January 20, 2005 10:32 AM

BIG E -

I'm not arguing for or against the fact that the Earth is generally warming, or that greenhouse gases are or aren't responsible. Just that the simple assumption that the climate changes will always result in tangibly warmer weather is kind of dumb.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
