President Obama and the House Democrats – Pals ??

President Obama will have his hands full, not with the traditional Democratic adversaries Republicans….but with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. The fur is already starting to fly, backs are arching and “low growls can be heard around the Capitol.”

The behind the scenes power plays will now begin in earnest! Faces and names MUST be center stage, a Politicians “raison d’etre.”
Me thinks there will be some harsh words behind closed doors regarding this behaviour on day two of President Obama’s first term…? I predict a second term…without doubt!
The current near catastrophic situation, left behind “like a burning paper paper bag full of….” on the doorstep by the Bush Administration will take at least a decade to clean up.
Then after two terms the “old switcheroo”, Republicans will be given their next “kick at the can”. At that time I predict after all the chaos begins to quiet down the old mantra of The Republican Party will re-emerge “lower taxes on the rich and all will be well with The World.” We’ve seen how that works after eight years of The Bush Administration, haven’t we?

NASA – Severe Space Weather

January 21, 2009: Did you know a solar flare can make your toilet stop working?

That’s the surprising conclusion of a NASA-funded study by the National Academy of Sciences entitled Severe Space Weather Events—Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts. In the 132-page report, experts detailed what might happen to our modern, high-tech society in the event of a “super solar flare” followed by an extreme geomagnetic storm. They found that almost nothing is immune from space weather—not even the water in your bathroom.

Global warming…really….?

A little know fact seems to be, “just before an Ice Age occurs the Earth gets very warm.”

Hmmmmm…..

The age of The Earth is about 4.5 Billion years, our documented temperature change records are about 150 years, do we really have enough information…?? I suspect not. Ice and soil core samples used by Geologists give what we believe are fairly accurate readings regarding temperature, air and other chemical signatures. Ice Ages have occured with frightening regularity over the Millennia.

The radical Scientists, making television and Academic careers by frightening the peasants should be ashamed! The average person has “more than enough angst to deal with now” – what with terrorism, War, unemployment, the price of gas/food and other basic necessities. “Fear is our common enemy”, used by our own and external enemies.

The fear engendered by the terrorists in this World is almost their only weapon*** When you may have our own citizens and countrymen using this fear for their own devices is “truly frightening!”

I ask you: what is more important at this moment, “defeating your fear; of terrorists/government and scientists” OR ignore all of the “clowns seeking to make a mark in History, as opposed to serving their Societies.”
