Give that Goose a Gander

or...why I don't trust the Left or the media. So, British soldiers are kidnapped by a "democratic nation" (as sayeth Sy Hersh) and yet, this Democratic Nation called Iran ignores the Geneva Convention(s) and we hear...oh... not a peep of outrage. Not a whimper. N.O.T.H.I.N.G.

So, what I basically get is this: America bad. Always. No matter what. Everyone else gets a PASS. Freakin' hypocrites. Liars. Panderers. Sycophants of tyrants & dictators and all things un-freedom-like.

Tune in ...turn on...?

Which is creepier, the NBC Dateline show To Catch a Predator or the people that keep watching the creeps doing creepy things-- week after week, re-runs too.

Now, THIS isn't Convenient

Uh oh...this could cause some believers to question the effects of taxing and controlling all the regular folk (you know, most of us who can't afford "carbon credits") ...nah! We just need to figure out a way to take down that sun of ours....

Excerpted from National Geographic article:

Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human-induced—cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory.

Earth is currently experiencing rapid warming, which the vast majority of climate scientists says is due to humans pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Mars, too, appears to be enjoying more mild and balmy temperatures.

In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.

Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of the St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun.

"The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars," he said.

Abdussamatov believes that changes in the sun's heat output can account for almost all the climate changes we see on both planets.

Mars and Earth, for instance, have experienced periodic ice ages throughout their histories.

"Man-made greenhouse warming has made a small contribution to the warming seen on Earth in recent years, but it cannot compete with the increase in solar irradiance," Abdussamatov said.

U.N. TURNS ITS BACK ON WOMEN... SO WHAT ELSE ISN'T NEW?

This is why the UN is irrelevant and USELESS except for handing out blankets, food and vaccines:

The United States criticized the United Nations for refusing to list a panel it organized Tuesday entitled “State-Sanctioned Mass Rape in Burma and Sudan” on a U.N. Web site.

The U.S. Mission to the United Nations arranged to hold the panel on the sidelines of the annual two-week meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women which this year is focusing on discrimination and violence against women. It will include presentations about rape and sexual violence in both countries.

But the U.N.’s Meeting Services branch objected to the title, which was published in the U.N.’s daily journal last Thursday, because it “would be perceived as offensive to named member states,” according to a letter to the U.S. Mission obtained by the Associated Press.
