Global Warming a Hoax

Well, duh…
Newsmax Correspondent Philip Brennan describes why he agrees with the founder of the Weather Channel that global warming is the greatest scam in history. He also says that the fact that John McCain is on board with the environmentalists scares the hell out of him.



What makes Philip Brennan and the founder of the weather channel experts on global warming? Not a fucking thing. About the same thing that makes me an expert and I happen to agree with them.
The problem is that I tend to base my beliefs (as do the aforementioned guys) on real data and proven theories while the global warming pundits are just taking the word of these so-called scientists that are taking the word of other scientists using faulty data or data that only goes back a short period of time.
They are all a bunch of morons anyway.
I do agree with Brennan about McCain as well. Not that I don’t think that conservation and going to other forms of power is a bad thing, but I think that blaming the changing course of normal weather patterns on us is an idiotic blame game that’s just going to lead to more trouble later on down the road.

Sleep…sleep…sleep…

Something I just am not getting enough of.

I have probably posted more today than I have the entire week. It’s funny how that ends up working out. I had actually planned on coming home yesterday and spending the majority of the day on the computer but I was at work until about midnight Tuesday and then my half day yesterday turned into me not getting home until 2pm. I was pretty whipped so I worked outside in the yard, knowing that if I came inside I would fall asleep.

Today I have pretty much taken it easy. I managed to get about nine hours of sleep last night, which was much needed but it sure doesn’t feel like it fixed my sleep deficit. Maybe in a couple of weeks I can take more than one day off. One can hope…

Pete has a concert tonight for the chorus. I am checking her out of school early this afternoon because they have to be there by three p.m. in order to start practicing. Why they don’t just stick the kids on a bus is beyond me. Anyway, we don’t have to be there until 6 or 6:30 so I will come home and throw something in the oven that we can eat before we go see them. If it’s charged up I may take our video camera as well.

On another note, I hate telemarketers. I generally don’t answer the phone on my day off but I got a call this morning and I answered it before I realized I don’t know the number. It was some telemarketer trying to sell me a small business phone system. While I might be interested, that’s something I will go out and look for. I certainly wouldn’t buy it sight unseen over the phone. Jerks. I can do my own research without you having to call me and wake me up.

Retirement

So the maintenance man and I were talking a couple of days ago at work just about stupid stuff. He and I have been around for several years and I know him pretty well. He’s a good guy and will be retiring soon. I hate it because it means that we will end up with someone that just doesn’t know nearly enough about that stuff. They unfortunately don’t pay enough to get a top-notch maintenance man. With our guy’s case he makes a bit more because he’s been with us so long, and he has a nice bit of change tucked aside in stocks so that he can retire.
Anyway, he was trying to decide what to do with the van. He has to replace some of his storage cabinets and was looking at Jobox storage drawers for it. I don’t really know what the difference is between those and other’s so I just stand and nod and agree with him every once in a while. That’s when I found out he was retiring. I hate to see him go but he’s worked pretty darned hard and wants to spend some time with his grandchildren.
I still have a bit of time (like a couple of decades) before I retire but I darn sure and starting to look forward to it.
