The Great Global Cooling Scare of the 1970s.

I can still remember "learning" in school about the impending ice age.  We would do reports on it and pose solutions.  At one point during a particularly cold winter it got pretty intense.  We were pretty wrapped up in the notion that we were all going to freeze to death.

Then it stopped getting colder.

I present to you the article from Newsweek proclaiminng doom.

 Healthcare Parody Song
By Steve Bryant

Steve puts it this way,

Healthcare with a holiday theme. I'm not a Conservative or Liberal, just fed up.

Healthcare Blunderland

A Parody of Winter Wonderland

Got this via email from my sister in Texas ...

There is an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.  This year's term was "Political Correctness."
The winner wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

The 2009 Award for "You lying cheating son of a bitch." goes out to none other than Tiger Woods for carrying on a 31 month affair ... while married ... and posing to all the world as a squeaky clean, all American, golf idol and living legend.

You had it all Tiger.  Fame, fortune, a pretty wife, millions of adoring fans.  But that wasn't enough.  A little poontang on the side is what you wanted.  You brought something unclean into bed with your wife.  You lied.  You cheated on your marriage.

The 2009 Award in the category of "Your political career is now toast" goes out to former presidential candidate and Governer Mike Huckabee for commuting the sentence of quadruple cop killer Maurice Clemmons.

I'm sure Mike is torn up about letting Maurice become eligible for parole and sure there were literally dozens of other people almost as equally responsible for this gutter rat scumbag not being in jail but in the end Huckabee got the ball rolling.  Given his track record of something like a 1,000 pardons one can only wonder at his state of mind and the reliability of his judgement.

Forget about running for president now.  Your career is toast.
