Yet More Irony

A Nobel Laureate was dragged out of an elevator and assaulted during the course of a peace conference in - where else? - San Francisco.

Be sure to wear

Some flowers in your hair.

Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and prolific author, was reportedly victimized by a Holocaust denier who initially escaped detention. 

In a posting Tuesday on the anti-Zionist Web site ZioPedia, a writer using the name Eric Hunt takes credit for the attack: “After ensuring no women would be traumatized by what I had to do (I had been trailing Wiesel for weeks), I stopped the elevator at the sixth floor. I pulled Wiesel out of the elevator. I said I wanted to interview him.”

The New Religion

In his new book Apollo’s Arrow, ambitiously subtitled The Science of Prediction and the Future of Everything, Vancouver-based author and mathematician David Orrell set out to explain why the mathematical models scientists use to predict the weather, the climate and the economy are not getting any better, just more refined in their uncertainty.

in its myths of the Fall and the Apocalypse, its saints and heretics, its iconography and tithing, its reliance on prophecy, even its schisms — the green movement now exhibits the same psychology of compliance as religion.

For reference, I submit that there is a great example of a true Dictator that can be studied, so that people can make the distinction.  Thanks to Pajamas Media and Fausta Wertz:

Hugo Chávez calls the law “the mother of all laws”, but the official name is La Ley Habilitante, the Enabling Law.

Globally-Warmed Snow Keeps Falling

As reknowned climatologist AlGore flits around the globe in his private jet, emitting huge levels of CO2 in his tireless effort to convince everybody else that they need to stop emitting CO2 because the globe is warming and It's All Your Fault, places in upstate New York just keep shoveling on.  6 feet of snow, with more expected, as the Plains states deal with temperatures of minus 6 to 12 degrees F - and that's not taking wind chill into account.  It's a good thing that global warming is happening.  Think of how much colder it might be, without it.

Global Warming has moved out of the realm of science, and is a virtual religion today.
