Fistful is no longer allowed to sail with us.


We still need bait!

n 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a massive report the size of three phone books on the reality and risks of climate change, its 4th assessment in 18 years.

And we all know how many politicians and journalists will read even 1/10th of it.

Al Gore's carbon footprint credits business must be down.  Doesn't he know there is a recession on?  chris3

My thoughts exactly.

"This year, imagine lying out on the beach at beautiful Point Barrow.  You xxxx-card can make it come true."

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I have this image of fistful smeared in Narwahl and Baby Seal blubber, dangling by his ankles from the bowsprit, while one of the crew works the "Female Polar Bear in Heat" call, and everyone else is hunkered  down holding rifles waiting for a Polar Bear to swim into range.

 grin grin grin 
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Gotta be warmer there then it is in Chicago today. -7 this morning,  Though it has warmed up to a balmy 15. (time to break out the shorts and t-shirts !!) 


Checking Weather.com.
Nope, Point Barrow is -26.


So who's sucking up/hoarding all the global woerming ??

That's not fair.

He might like it.
He never brought you an unbalanced budget, which is a perennial joke. He never voted himself a wage increase and, to this day, gives back part of his salary every year. He has always voted to preserve the Constitution, cut government spending, lower healthcare costs, end the war on drugs, secure our borders with immigration reform and protect our civil liberties.
