Happy Holidays? Not At Our House. Merry Christmas!

Being a genius, I have not yet figured out how to upload Adobe Flash products, but then Adobe products generally drive me to language my Mother used to punish me for.

This is a very cool vid. Short, sweet and to the point. Enjoy! For the 10% who might not, get a life.

OECD Forcasts Arrival Of Chicken Little

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has issued a dire report. 60 years may not be enough time to race inland before the tsunami hits and man has shown a propensity to not be adaptable to change unlike dinosaurs.
Warming risks listed by population, costs
Report: 150 million people, $35 trillion in assets vulnerable by 2070

As for the cost of inaction, the report states that "(Hurricane) Katrina and New Orleans demonstrates how significant these consequences might be — 1,500 deaths, evacuation of 700,000 people, with hundreds of thousands still displaced two years on, massive flood damage from which recovery is still ongoing, and the global shock to the oil price.

"New Orleans may never fully recover and another
major hurricane landfall could trigger further decline or even total abandonment," the report adds.

No mention of levees. No mention of a city below sea level. No mention of a city and state government that blamed their incompetence on the the federal government and anybody else they could think of. Of course my money is on the heavy drinker because even Nagin doesn't have the nerve to screw up Bourbon Street. If Galatoire's had opened on Atlantis, they'd still be open for business.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is the same group that:
[E]conomists at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development blamed obesity in Bermuda on Coco Pops (yes, the breakfast cereal).

I'm hiding my Frosted Flakes from these people.

This Was Just Baby Huey Chavez's First Try

Siamese Twins Putin/Chavez - Election Cheats

UPDATE III: Stephen Green at Vodka Pundit and Glenn Reynolds (at whatever his blog's name is) agree that this year's attempt by Hugo the Chavez is probably just his first attempt to be loudmouth for life and permanent puta for Putin. Baby Huey will try again.

Proof That Environment Can Cause Brain Damage

Chanting the borrowed unofficial motto, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” the loons preach their doom and gloom. True? Who cares? It's a reason to get up every morning, one would hope.

Anytime you have Brian “I can’t control my eyebrows” Williams, a plastic baby Jesus, Hillary’s campaign, and anybody in the Democratic Congressional leadership all making news on the same day, you have a &$*! storm that has nothing to do with the environment. It does have everything to do with a bunch of children that could not be verbally or mentally potty trained.
