Loch Ness Monster--victim of global warming

Gosh darn it!  I just knew it had to be global warming!
 

Legendary Nessie hunter Robert Rines is giving up his search for the monster after 37 years.   The 85-year-old American will make one last trip in a bid to find the elusive beast.   After almost four decades of fruitless expeditions, he admitted: "Unfortunately, I'm running out of age."

World War II veteran Robert has devoted almost half his life to scouring Loch Ness.  He started in 1971. The following year, he watched a 25ft-long hump with the texture of elephant skin gliding through the water.  His original trip was to help another monster hunter with sonar equipment and quickly identified large moving targets.  He was smitten and returned the next year, which is when, he says: "I had the misfortune of seeing one of these things with my own eyes."   Since then, he has been obsessed with tracking down the creature with a staggering array of hi-tech equipment. It was this gear that took the famous "flipper" picture that year which created a stir around the world.

Despite having hundreds of sonar contacts over the years, the trail has since gone cold and Rines believes that Nessie may be dead, a victim of global warming.

McCain for President!!!

A lot of my favorite conservatives are acting like improvised explosive devices because John McCain will apparently be the Republican nominee for president. Some are threatening to sit out the election--or even vote for Hillary--because of their hatred for McCain. To paraphrase a 1795 protest against John Jay, they want to

Damn John McCain! Damn everyone that won't damn John McCain! Damn every one that won't put lights in his window and sit up all night damning John McCain!

Two months ago I might have felt the same way about sitting out this election, but as the big day looms I'm returning to my senses. The big difference here is that in 1795 we weren't threatened with a Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama presidency. With Barack or Hillary there's no hope they'd get anything right, and in 4 or (God forbid) 8 years they could damage the country permanently.

McCain isn't always wrong, and there's at least some chance that he'll do a few good, big, things...like veto some spending bills, nominate decent judges, cut taxes, and (most importantly) win the war.

John McCain isn't the problem. The problem is a primary system that eliminates most of the candidates before most of the country even gets a chance to vote. I'd like to see a class-action lawsuit against Iowa, New Hampshire and Florida. By moving their primaries ahead of "Super Tuesday" they effectively disenfranchised over 90% of the population. Now that's who we need to be mad at! Where's a good lawyer when you need one?

McCain for President!!!

Sen. Kerry Blames Tornados on Global Warming

Former Democratic presidential nominee blames 'intense storms' that have killed more than 50 on climate change. [Link]

I’ve heard that the unusually colder weather much of the world is experiencing is also due to global warming. I suppose the lower than usual hurricane activity last season also was due to global warming, just as the higher than usual activity was the previous year. Talk about convenient! It doesn’t matter what happens, just blame it on global warming!
