D.C. Bar Goes After Ed Martin
Timothy Birdnow
The D.C. Bar has
filed ethics charges against Ed Martin for sending a letter to Georgetown University Law Center demanding an end to DEI practices.
The bar could revoke Martin's law license.
This is but another example of what we are up against; the Left has weaponized the law to the point where if you resist anything they do they will come after you legally and with a vengeance.
Martin, the former interim D.C. District Attorney, whose appointment was spiked by Thom "Up Yours" Tillis, is accused:
The office that polices attorney misconduct in Washington, D.C., has filed ethics charges against Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin, after Martin last year sent a threatening letter to the Georgetown University Law Center that raised questions about its diversity and inclusion policies while he was serving as interim U.S. attorney, according to court filings made public Tuesday.
In a Feb. 17 letter to the law school, Martin told university officials that a whistleblower claimed Georgetown was teaching DEI and asked about the practice. Without waiting for a response, he told the school he was imposing sanctions by instructing his office staff not to employ any students from the school as fellows, interns or employees at the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C.
In response, the school’s now-former dean, William Treanor, told Martin, who is a devout Catholic, that his letter represented "an attack on the University’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution.”
In filings made in the D.C. Court of Appeals’ Board on Professional Responsibility dated Friday and made public on Tuesday, Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton "Phil” Fox III of the D.C. Bar alleged that Martin’s conduct as a government official violated the First and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution by making demands that the law school change what it teaches students and how it teaches them.
It is long-standing policy that the U.S. government impose it's will on what and how universities teach their students because these institutions take Federal tax dollars and it is established law that this money comes with strings. And of course there is no right to a job after you get out of school, and if the government chooses not to hire graduates from a particular school there is no Constitutional prohibition making this policy illegal. Lord knows the Left has used these tactics repeatedly on the right over the years. It's part of WHY the universities are universally filled with Leftists now; it was "diversity" or die.
So what Martin did was not at all unethical or criminal but the Left will go after him anyway. And even if he wins in court he will have to waste huge amounts of time and money. As they say, the process IS the punishment.
So we are a LONG way from victory as of yet. The radicals are waiting in the wings, ready to reassert themselves as soon as Trump exits the stage. And even now they are going to go after some of the MAGA folks, a foreshadowing of what is to come once they take back power.
The DOJ should open investigations into the D.C. Bar in retaliation. It's sad it has come to this but there has to be tit-for-tat, even if it's not always a clear cut violation. EVERYONE needs to be afraid to use lawfare to their political advantage. Mutual Assured Destruction. It worked with the Soviets and it will work now, provided we have the balls to use it.

Another Day Another Ayatollah
Timothy Birdnow
Iran's newly elevated leader, the Supreme Ayatollah and doorman at the Tehranian Hilton Mojito, er, Mojtaba Khamenei, has
already been wounded by the U.S. according to Iranian television and is in critical condition.
It sure doesn't pay to be the supreme leader in Iran these days.

The card board cutout the IRGC is using to replace the real one is doing a far better job. In other news the IDF is hitting IRGC check points around Iran with drones. The psychological effect on the IRGC must be pure terror to have to man a check point.

Smith Targeted Kansas AG
Timothy Birdnow
Jack Smith opened an investigation into the Kansas Attorney General for challenging the election of 2020.
This was going WAY beyond his mandate and in fact this borders (at a minimum) on abuse of power and a First Amendment violation. Smith belongs in prison.
A new document obtained by The Tennessee Star reveals that former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline was among the 430 individuals or organizations who were subpoenaed by former special prosecutor Jack Smith as part of the Arctic Frost probe into the 2020 election contest by President Donald Trump and other Republicans, revealing for the first time that legal experts and organizations who sought to contest the results from outside the White House were included in Smith’s investigation.
The Star obtained correspondence from Verizon last week, notifying the Kline family on February 25 that its records had been subpoenaed by the U.S. Senate. The records requested related to an earlier subpoena obtained by Smith, and Verizon attached records revealing the special prosecutor’s office contacted the telecommunications company on August 1, 2023, to inform them of their obligation to produce Kline’s records to comply with a grand jury subpoena.
This was all part of Arctic Frost, the Biden-authorized program to spy on and abuse the free speech rights of political enemies of the autopen. (All hail the autopen.)
The Star continues:
According to the letter from the special prosecutor’s office, the subpoena sought subscriber information, names, addresses, records for inbound and outbound calls, text messages, and voicemails, as well as the "[m]eans and source of payment,” to Verizon, which the document specified included the credit card or bank account Kline used to pay his phone bill.
It also sought any other phone numbers associated with Kline’s account, as well as the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses he used to access the internet using his Verizon-connected devices.
Like the Arctic Frost subpoenas that sought phone records for various Republicans in Congress, including at least eight U.S. senators, the order was signed by U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg, an appointee of former President Barack Obama who has sparred with the Trump administration.
In a sane world Smith and Boasberg and everyone else involved in this would be in prison, and the public would be furious, demanding reforms. But we do not live in a sane world and the media simply won't report it, meaning the average person is blissfully unaware of any of this, and if you tell them they will call you brainwashed and a dupe for the Republicans. It's astonishing how dim so many people can be.

Whoopi: Trump Attacked Iran to Distract from Guthrie, Epstein
Timothy Birdnow
Whooping Coughberg, er, Whoopi Goldberg, is unquestionably a moron and a crazy one at that. But she
really screwed the pooch with this; she is claiming Donald Trump launched the Iran war to divert attention from the Epstein files (in which Whoopi features prominently) and from the Nancy Guthrie case.
"This is meant to get us so worked up that we are unable to see anything else,” said the unhinged comedian/actress.
Naturally the panel of the View were all nodding in agreement.
"It’s a very wag the dog feeling,” added host Sonny Hostin.
Of course it's all projection as the Democrats have done such things in times past. Remember on the eve of his impeachment Bill Clinton bombed an aspirin factory in the Sudan ostensibly to take out Osama bin Laden. It's the way the Left thinks, to twist reality, to bend things to fit their own narrative.
But why would Trump do this in so incompetent a fashion? A majority of the country is opposed to this, and that includes many in his MAGA base. There certainly are more popular ways to divert attention. And if you are going to launch a fake war why wouldn't you first start it with a Reichstag fire? A false flag attack on the U.S. to get the public on your side right away?
You may remember they accused George W. Bush of the same thing, claiming HE blew up the Twin Towers so he could launch his Afghanistan and Iraq wars. (That was the end of Rosie O'Donnell, I might add; she became obsessed with this conspiracy theory and it ruined her career because it was so obviously nuts.) Crazed conspiracy theories are de rigueur for the Left.
Crazy is as crazy says, and Whoopi has said some batcrap crazy things in her day but she keeps trying to top it.

More Strange Things Involving Epstein
Timothy Birdnow
This is interesting; a guard at the prison where Jeffrey Epstein was being held made a series of large bank deposits just before he died - and computer records showed she Googled Epstein twice just hours before his "suicide".
Tova Noel has since been fired by the prison. She denies any wrongdoing.
Noel deposited almost $12,000 in the leadup to the Epstein death. Authorities believe she is the figure seen in security camera footage. She was seen carrying orange linen - he kind Epstein allegedly hanged himself wih.
She denies all this, and says she never did routine checks on prisoners as was required by her employer and claimed nobody else did either - she says everyone just falsified the logs.
If that is true why was Epstein at such a poorly secured facility?
I have to worry about the health of Ms. Noel; she seems to have some very unhealthy habits and I worry she may have some health incident that could lead to a tragic end. This is definitely a story to watch.

Thune Stopping the SAVE America Act
Timothy Birdnow
I knew John Thune was a worthless POS and this proves it.
What does Thune think he will accomplish by this? The Democrats will undoubtedly nuke the filibuster as soon as they are in power and the GOP blocks them.
The reason is because the Republicans fear being exposed for their own corruption. I have little doubt the Democrats threated to release embarrassing information on them.
Until this generation of Republicans passes from power we will continue to lose ground. And once Trump is gone the old order will return, and America will die.
BTW for those who do not understand, the so-called filibuster we have now is not a filibuster at all but a simple threat that tables a bill. In the old days the Senate rule was that there was unlimited to debate a bill, so you could keep one from getting a vote by flapping your gums for hours and hours. That then required a supermajority to invoke cloture, the ending of debate. To do a filibuster you had to have a bunch of people with stamina and an organization to keep the chatter going. It meant keeping enough people there to maintain a quorum.
Mitch McConnell changed it by using a parliamentary trick; just threatening a filibuster instead of actually doing one. The two parties agreed to use this so as to avoid the exhausting and time-sucking efforts required during an actual filibuster. That is called a "zombie" filibuster because it's not a filibuster at all; it's a dead body doing the filibustering.
Now we could well force the SAVE Act through if we forced a real filibuster, but our Senate Majority Leader won't hear of it. And his torn Mentor - Mitch McConnell - is the one who is pushing him to do this just to screw Trump and the MAGA wing of the party.
Democrats have repeatedly stolen elections from the GOP and the GOP has let them because they don't really want to win - they liked it when they were a minority party and didn't have to do anything. That SOB Trump suddenly forced them to do their jobs and they don't like it at all. Washington isn't about doing what is right - it's about feathering your own nest.
John Thune is a true nest featherer and needs to be gone. I hope Trump finds a way to punish him for this.
The SAVE ACT is something that should always have been a part of our electoral system. Almost every country on Earth requires I.D. to vote. And with millions of illegal aliens here that is more important to the United States than to many of the nations that actually require I.D.
There is only one solitary reason to oppose I.D. when voting ad that is so you can steal elections.

Feminists and the Bufero Infernal
So why do so many liberal women in the West turn to Islam?
Islam is monumentally wrong but it is the only major religion that has not sold it's soul to post-modernism and still keeps a kind of moral framework and that is very appealing to many people who feel lost in this Western world of no values and extremist personal freedom which allows you to even choose what sex you will be. The sense of structure and normalcy is quite enticing to many, especially to women.
That is why many women become feminists in the first place; they are basically afraid of the world, afraid of freedom and think that Islam will provide the necessary framework to keep them safe and give them what they want. Feminism was never about empowerment but about reducing the power of men out of fear of them. Islam seems to offer that to many women, who think the moral code of Islam will constrain men. It's completely idiotic but people often are irrational.
The West is now like the Winds in Dante's Inferno, the Bufero Infernal as it was called, where souls were blown about randomly by ferocious winds, unable to find rest.

From My Point of View YOU are Evil!
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a good essay with my own comments at the end:
MICHAEL SMITH
MAR 6
A bar chart showing that In many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good
Shortly after I posted the essay on "progressive” Christianity, I saw something that tied into my premise that "progressive” Christians are simply redefining traditional Christian tenets in ways that agree with their political agenda. That "something” was a new Pew survey (released yesterday) that showed the results of respondents in several countries being asked a simple question:
"Are the people in your country morally good or morally bad?”
In nearly every nation surveyed, large majorities said their fellow citizens were good people. They might complain about politicians or corruption, but they still believed the average person around them was fundamentally decent.
Except in the United States.
In America, the survey found that a majority of respondents believed their fellow citizens were morally bad rather than morally good. The most common explanation offered is political polarization and there is certainly some truth to that explanation. Our politics have become increasingly hostile, and the language used to describe opponents often sounds less like disagreement and more like moral condemnation. Political arguments are increasingly framed as battles between good people and bad people, but the deeper problem may not be that Americans have suddenly become less moral than people in other countries. It may be something more basic: Americans increasingly disagree about what morality even means.
Words like "good” and "bad” sound simple, but they are not. Their meaning depends on the moral framework someone is using. For most of American history, that framework was broadly shared. Even people who were not personally religious lived within a culture shaped by religious assumptions about right and wrong. Ideas such as honesty, responsibility, loyalty, charity, and restraint formed a common vocabulary of morality.
Americans argued constantly about policy, but they were generally speaking the same moral language when they did so.
Over the past several decades, that shared framework has weakened. Religious affiliation has declined, church attendance has fallen, and the number of Americans who identify with no religious tradition has grown steadily. As those institutions faded, the common moral vocabulary that accompanied them faded as well.
In its place, several competing moral systems have taken root.
One useful way to think about this divide comes from social psychologist Jonathan Haidt. His Moral Foundations Theory suggests that human beings tend to build their moral judgments on several basic instincts—things like care and harm, fairness, loyalty, respect for authority, and ideas of sanctity or purity. Different groups emphasize those foundations differently, which means they can look at the same event and reach very different moral conclusions.
You can see that dynamic in many of the political disputes that dominate modern headlines. One person may view abortion primarily as an issue of personal liberty, while another sees it as the destruction of innocent human life. One group may interpret immigration enforcement as cruelty, while another sees it as the defense of national sovereignty and the rule of law. One side sees traditional gender norms as oppressive, while another sees their rejection as social instability.
In each case, both sides believe they are defending moral principles. Yet because they are using different definitions of moral good, they inevitably conclude that their opponents are not merely mistaken but immoral and that distinction matters. When people disagree about policy, compromise is possible. When they believe their opponents are morally corrupt, compromise begins to feel like surrender. If the other side is not just wrong but evil, negotiation itself starts to look like betrayal.
Modern media and political culture intensify this dynamic. Disagreements are framed less as debates over policy and more as struggles between virtue and vice. Every controversy becomes evidence of moral failure, and every election is presented as a battle to save the country from the dangerous intentions of the other side. Given those circumstances, it becomes easy to see why Americans might tell pollsters that many of their fellow citizens are bad people. They are not simply describing their neighbors; they are judging the moral framework they believe those neighbors represent.
Ironically, that result does not necessarily mean Americans are less moral than people in other countries. In some ways it may mean the opposite. Americans remain intensely concerned with moral questions and argue about them constantly.
The problem is that we are increasingly arguing from entirely different moral dictionaries.
For most of the nation’s history, a shared framework of moral assumptions allowed people to argue without questioning the basic character of their neighbors. Today, that common framework appears to be fragmenting. People can look at the same events, policies, and cultural changes and reach completely opposite moral conclusions and when a society no longer agrees on what "good” means, it should not be surprising if many citizens begin to believe their neighbors are bad.
I thought it was interesting that Canada, a country that has abortion on demand and euthanasia, ranked highest on the morally good side.
The survey result may not truly measure a collapse in American morality at all, but it may instead reveal something more troubling: a country that no longer shares a common definition of it.
The last time America had a divide of this magnitude, we fount a bloody civil war to resolve it.
Mr. Birdnow responds:
Let us put this in a nutshell shall we? For a hundred years the Progressive Left has been in control of the educational system and has substituted their own atheistic moral code to replace the Judeo-Christian ethics of the past. Now they own the schools and universities, lock, stock, and barrel and there is indeed a competing moral code but it is the work of demonic forces aka the radical Left, and many believe it because it's what has been taught to them.
G.K. Chesterton put it best:
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”
And that includes Judaism, which has also been rejected because it wasn't as much fun as neopaganism or outright atheism.
So the Left has tempted Americans with fleshly, worldly pleasures and has made anyone who tells them this will hurt them in the end into bogeymen, bad people who want to steal their enjoyment of life. Abortion is a great example; the best way to not have an abortion is to not get pregnant, and to do THAT the best way is to keep the office closed for business. But if you tell many Americans that they will think ill of you because they WANT to enjoy themselves in this way.
There very much is a moral problem in America, and the rest of the world too. Americans just clung to Christianity longer than Europe or the colonial nations. But how do you reach someone who thinks the only evil is the person who says there is evil? That is where our problem now lies.
Leftism is nothing but a substitute religion for Judeo-Christianity. And like all cheap substitutes it cannot tolerate the original around to show it up. That's all this is.
This reminds me of the Star Wars movie Revenge of the Sith where the newly seduced Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader tells Obi-Wan Kenobi "from my point of view it is the Jedi who are evil" even though he knows that not to be true. That's what the leftists who say their conservative fellow Americans are evil are actually doing.

Media Geese and Ganders
This from Daniel Jupp
So looking at Ukraine and Iran together the mainstream position is apparently this:
If a nation has the world’s largest collection of nuclear weapons you should definitely want to go straight to full on war with no negotiations.
If a nation is developing a nuclear weapon it shows every indication it would use against you, you should never ever go to war with it and keep negotiating while it develops the nuclear weapon.
Am I clear on how the logic of this works?

Altering Climate History
Timothy Birdnow
This is interesting. It was posted on my Facebook page:
I found a serious error in the IPCC framework. The error appears in two places in the AR6. This error completely changed the causation theory because it moved the peak of the current interglacial period from where it's actually happening TODAY to 6500 years ago, which is incorrect. That shift makes it look like the current interglacial period should have been declining for thousands of years, yet temperature is increasing, leading the ENTIRE consensus to believe CO2 was the culprit.
It's not! When you recalibrate based on the ACTUAL RAW DATA, it shows the interglacial period is STILL increasing and is reaching its maximum now!
Meaning, the climate is following the natural orbital patterns of the MILANKOVICH CYCLE and has be the entire time! The IPCC is wrong!
Here are both errors:
1. SPM Figure SPM.1 — the highest-visibility location:
https://www.ipcc.ch/.../chapter/summary-for-policymakers/
This is the Summary for Policymakers page. The specific claim — that the warmest multi-century Holocene period occurred around 6,500 years ago — appears in the caption to Figure SPM.1 on that page. This is the figure shown to policymakers and the public.
2. Chapter 2 FAQ — the plain-language restatement:
https://www.ipcc.ch/.../faqs/IPCC_AR6_WGI_FAQ_Chapter_02.pdf
The FAQ states directly: "Averaged over the globe, surface temperatures of the past decade were probably warmer than when the long cooling trend began around 6500 years ago. If so, we need to look back to at least the previous interglacial period, around 125,000 years ago, to find evidence for multi-centennial global surface temperatures that were warmer than now." IPCC
That is the error in plain text. The phrase "the long cooling trend began around 6500 years ago" is the load-bearing claim. It places the natural peak in the past, making all current warming appear to break outside the natural Holocene range. The Buizert 2021 TS_EDC column — raw NOAA data — shows the present at −54.73°C versus −56.25°C at 7,200 BP. Present is warmer. The cooling trend has not begun. The claim is wrong at the column level.

Scientific Condmenation of IPCC
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a list of scientists who have slammed the IPCC and Climate Change alarmism.
It gives these quotes:
I just posted the first 16 of 46. I thought we had an overwhelming consensus!:
Dr Robert Balling: The IPCC notes that "No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.” This did not appear in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.
Dr Lucka Bogataj: "Rising levels of airborne carbon dioxide don’t cause global temperatures to rise…. temperature changed first and some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide followed.”
Dr John Christy: "Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the IPCC do not agree that global warming is occurring. Its findings have been consistently misrepresented and/or politicized with each succeeding report.”

Why isn't the Left Happy about Iran?
Timothy Birdnow
You know, the same people who have railed against oil as an energy source and demanded we get rid of it are now screaming about how the Iran war is driving the price of oil up - just the thing they said they wanted.
What hypocrites.
These same people are working to undercut the President solely on political grounds, so they can win the upcoming elections.

How Goes the War?
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a pretty good analysis on the military situation in the Iran war. Iran seems to be reaching an exhaustion point for their missiles.
They aren't done yet by a long shot but the vast salvo of missiles fired have been winding down considerably and while they keep launching missiles and drones they are launching far fewer than they did at the start of the war.
A friend on Facebook posted
a podcast from a fellow claiming we have lost most of our Patriot missile defense systems and can't replace them. This guy argues we lost over half, and that Iran has outsmarted Donald Trump because it will take two years to replace them. He also says we have only taken delivery of 96 such missiles per year. I looked into most of this; it was hogwash. We have lost quite a few - and he's right it was the policy of Iran to try to exhaust our defensive missiles. But he's wrong; we've taken delivery of over 250 per year and can have many more in just a few months. This fellow also argued that the price of oil will go over $150 per barrel because the Strait of Hornuz is closed. This is silly; the Saudis have already MODESTLY increased production, modestly because they don't think they NEED to do more at this time. They can ramp this up as high as they please. We can ramp up our own oil production. And Venezuela will be producing a lot more soon too. This fellow got his numbers by looking at the amount of oil not getting through and simply did static math; he didn't account for increased production at all. Oh, and he quoted Scott Ritter. You remember HIM; he was the guy who warned Saddam had nukes, then changed his tune and said there were none. Hardly a credible source. Oh, and this guy also said 94% of Americans oppose this when in fact an NPR/PBS/Marist poll (which would be biased against the President) had that number in opposition at 56%.
So don't believe everything you come across, especially those predicting doom. This claim we are running out of missiles and are going to lose big time cannot be true or the mainstream media would be crowing about it.
So don't believe any of this doom and gloom, just as we shouldn't believe every brag made by the Administration. The fact is Iran is a Third World country and while they have a lot of missiles and drones they can't keep pace with the U.S., especially with their economy having been boycotted so long. We are going to win this provided we avoid sending troops into the country.
BTW what will happen if Iran should attack Turkey? They are a NATO member state and that would trigger the NATO pact.

Missing: The new one legged supreme leader is already missing and may have joined his father in HE!! from injuries sustained from the sane munitions that sent his father off. The so-called panel of experts having no one else to make a target of has painted a target on quite possibly a dead man. I wonder if this panel of experts was behind the biden/harris ticket since they were brain dead too.

"The wife" was listening to Fox News at a point where I was in the john and heard that Iran has admitted that they have/had 11 nukes. Not exactly sure if they said what they had in mind to do with them... But this is a bit of a slap in the face of the leftists who have been saying we didn't know if they had them, or that sort of silliness.

I think you may be right Mike. The guy is also probably buzzard chow by now.
I wouldn't take that job if I were an Iranian theocrat!
Dana, I've heard that too and I am sure it's true enough. They had uranium enriched to ten percent - the magic number. They had the specs to build something far better than the A.Q. Khan style bomb Pakistan made. And they had the computer technology to test it without detonating it (and wasting that precious uranium). I think now they are pondering how best to use these weapons.

The Emtying Hourglass
The Emptying Hourglass
by Timothy Birdnow
3/8/2026
Tick
another moment passes in it's excruciating way
another grain has fallen as a piece of life turns gray
it seems as if the Sahara has dropped today yet I glance at the hourglass and see it is but early day, well before anything worth doing and not time to play
The sun won't show itself to me it seems
the hour feels late but it's barely past my dreams
I kill a minute making coffee without the cream
and the moments pass away one sip after another in an endless stream
Tick
Surely it must be time for lunch
but it's only breakfast
monotony and tedium are but broken for a moment by the preparing of my repast
I feast upon the eggs, which shatter like glass and then die in the pan
the seconds amass like the coffee dregs as I do what I can
Tick
It seems the whole planet Mars should have fallen down the drain
yet barely any seems to drop, more a drizzle than a rain
What can a man say when he is lonely or in pain?
Is the clock broken or is there really so much that remains?
Tick
lunch serves no better; it just kills but a minute
when push comes to crunch you will wait while you're in it
The day is partly done now but there's no way to win it
I kill some more time though this day seems infinite
Maybe after lunch I'll take a long nap
but of course I can't sleep, no way to bridge the gap
between the dropping of the sand which has become such a trap
each second falling like snow in some insane Chinese trap.
Tick
Where does a man's life go, how does he lose so much time even while it passes so very slow?
the ticking of that damnable clock seems eternal but the winds of time blow
and soon the stage will empty, the lights turn off, the end of the show
Tick
It was never this way when she was around
The ticking was silent, there was nary a sound
but all the while the interest did compound
then the all time victor won that final round
Is it time for supper yet?
Before asking that question it seems it was done
and the falling cold sand put out the eyes of the sun
the eve is upon me as the daylight ends her run
and that long empty night that I wish I could shun
Tick
Soon I will sleep for another long night
but the sand is quite deep, falling like snowflakes in flight as they slowly bury the bones of the just and unjust alike leaving us all out of sight
and no man ever won that long war though he might fight
The seconds pass by like snow in the fall
each flake lasts a moment and then that is all
though they drag out forever they're gone in warm weather still they tarry and crawl
and they win in the end, we all sleep in the pall
Tick
One day the sands will finish their labors with groans
and a little engraving will end on the stones
there may be laughter in the eternal hereafter at the seat of the one on His throne
But here the great evil tyrant slowly buries my bones

How About a Cold One...
Timothy Birdnow
Global warming my a, er, backside!
There was record snowfalls all over the globe this year too, in China, in Turkey, in Azerbaijan, all over.
But we aren't supposed to talk about that. And if we do it's because of planetary heating!

Here in, er, Frostbite Falls, MN it was up to the high 50s on Sunday today; we were
almost thinking about skinny-dipping in our pond today (well, you can take that with a bunch of salt, since the pond is still frozen over). Kids were out playing on the swings.
By Wednesday we are supposed to expect snow. Give me a break. We had snow two days ago and it's already melted.

Yes, it's spring weather a bit early. It was warm here in Missouri too.

In fact, in order to cool things down in the house (we were using the oven) we opened the deck door for about an hour. It was 67 degrees outside. We could have gone outside for a glass of wine if we'd had the time. But we don't have the deck table up, and all that stuff, and after all, it IS supposed to snow in a couple more days...

Continuing to yammer about the weather: the app on my phone says we have RIGHT NOW a 65% chance of "frozen mix." I don't know if that means I should check the margarita glasses on my bar, because looking out my office window doesn't show anything coming down from the sky.
Who knows what my wife will encounter when she arises early to drive to church to play mass? The probability of precipitation drops all night, so I doubt she'll have trouble.
