Post Scripts

7:43 PM News Flash: I was just browsing on National Reviews online site when I noticed our own Anthony Watts was being featured on the Planet Gore blog with new information regarding a “speck” being passed off as a spot:

Watts Up With NOAA?: The NOAA seems pretty desperate to not have this August go in the books as a sunspot-less month. Anthony Watts is, as ever, on the case. After going days without counting the August 21/22 sunspeck NOAA and SIDC Brussels say NOT a spotless month!They officially counted that sunspeck, after all.

The official word on that speck won’t be in for awhile, if ever, but Anthony’s accomplishment is noteworthy…good going Anthony! Read on Post Scripters…the original post below still has lots of cool info…

The sun has reached a milestone not seen for nearly 100 years: an entire month has passed without a single visible sunspot being noted. The event is significant as many climatologists now believe solar magnetic activity which determines the number of sunspots — is an influencing factor for climate on earth. According to data from Mount Wilson Observatory, UCLA, more than an entire month has passed without a spot. Daily Tech

(A PSA message for leftist protestors confused about helping hurricane victims or protesting the RNC)

From PROTESTRNC2008.com: We have had lots of calls from our comrades asking, “Are our heroic demonstrations and marches still going as planned against the Imperialists?” The answer is DA…er, YES! We don’t care about the hurricane or the victims, our movement has ALWAYS been a priority over such petty needs. Hurricane Katrina was a great opportunity to smear the Republicans and now we have another great opportunity to do it again! Hurricane Gustav affects the Republican Party because they can be portrayed as ignoring another crisis! We can exploit this emergency and create havoc through disinformation as we grab headlines by voicing opposition to the Iraq war and pointing out BushCo’s every failure, such as building levees, the economy, health care, etc. In addition, the RNC will still be in session during our march. Tomorrow we can still give our party message to the Republicans that supported the war on our brave Islamic brothers and sisters they dare call terrorists and they still support a continuation of this unjust war! Lets show up in record numbers and teach these running dogs a lesson! “Workers of the world, unite!”

I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven, (Michael) Moore said, laughing. To have it planned at the same time that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican Convention, up in the Twin Cities at the top of the Mississippi River Canada Free Press

OK…its Michael Moore, a nut on the fringe but he wasnt alone in his stupidity. A former head of the DNC was equally crass and insensitive:

The hurricanes going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. The timing isat least it appears now that itll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that Gods on our side. [Laughter] Everythings cool.

The essence of this statement, heartlessbut the apology? Its the epitome of insincerity:

Former DNC Chairman Don Fowler apologized on Sunday for joking in a private conversation that the timing of Hurricane Gustav demonstrates that God is on the side of the Democrats. ”If this offended anybody, I personally apologize,” *** ”One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase” – ABC News

Blaming Republicans for his own crummy thought is typical, we’re used to it. The most troubling question remains…what about the people in the path of the storm, where do they fit in this lovely democrat scenario?

More than 3,500 insurgents have been “taken off the streets of Baghdad” by the elite British force in a series of audacious “Black Ops” over the past two years.

It is understood that while the majority of the terrorists were captured, several hundred, who were mainly members of the organisation known as “al-Qa’eda in Iraq” have been killed by the SAS.

The SAS is part of a highly secretive unit called “Task Force Black” which also includes Delta Force, the US equivalent of the SAS.

The prime targets have been those intent on joining the wave of suicide car bombers that claimed around 3,000 lives a month in Baghdad at the height of the terrorist campaign in 2006.

Palin Closes Gender Gap

Sarah may do more than any person in modern history to close the gender gap, not only for Republicans but for conservatives. Unlike Hillary, who rode into Washington on the back of her husband, Sarah Palin created her own career. Unlike Hillary, who dwells within a small family focused on politics, Sarah has a big family and focuses on life. As a conservative, Sarah Palin sees life as more than politics, election campaigns and litigation. Her husband has a real job in the real economy. Sarah is athletic, animated, alive. Her family seems very real to us. She seems very real to us. Bruce Walker, American Thinker

The words authentic and genuine are being applied in large dollops. Sarah Palin is a strong, capable, personnuff said.

Sacramento – Colusa County officials are defending their display at the California State Fair after a black couple complained that a caricature of a smiling watermelon seed was racist. The ”Waldo Watermelon Seed” drawing was removed this week after the couple said the image evoked negative stereotypes about blacks. The exhibit was intended to celebrate Colusa County’s seed-producing crops, which generate $30 million a year. AP

The fruits of our efforts at inclusion have begun to rotits time to end the PC nonsense.

Berlin – Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright has blasted the current US administration’s handling of the Georgia crisis, saying her first move would have been to travel to Russia for talks. In an interview with the online service of German news weekly Der Spiegel on Sunday, Albright said she would have criticised the Russian military surge into Georgia and recognition of two Georgian rebel enclaves, but reassured Moscow over its security fears.

The arrogant Madam Albright implies Russia would crumble under her dazzeling diplomatic footworksilly woman!

The AP reports that Todd Mitchell Palin is quite the man. He also happens to be quite the Mr. Mom and a great support for his wife Sarah. Is this the perfect modern family or what!

Husband of Veep Choice is Snowmobile Racer, by Rachel DOro

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – He’s known as a doting, blue-collar husband who stands on the sidelines as his wife blazes a historic trail in politics. *** But Todd Mitchell Palin can claim accomplishments beyond his marriage to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the surprise running mate of Republican presidential hopeful John McCain. *** Todd Palin is a veteran oil-field worker and commercial fisherman affectionately dubbed Alaska’s “first dude.” He’s a man who took college courses but does not have a degree, yet can hold his own in sophisticated circles, even hosting a reception for five former Alaska first ladies earlier this month. *** A father of five, he’s also a four-time winner of the world’s longest snowmobile race, billed as the most grueling. It’s a sport the 43-year-old lifelong Alaskan is so passionate about that he’s continued to compete even after his wife took office in December 2006. *** In this year’s 2,000-mile Tesoro Iron Dog contest, Palin and racing partner Scott Davis were trying to defend their 2007 championship when Palin broke his arm in a crash. It was 400 miles from the finish line, but he refused to quit, coming in fourth, cheered on by the parka-clad governor waving a checkered flag.

Most of us have experienced one of those rare moments when everything is perfect, when events converge to create something unexpected and differentsomething so rare you just know it will never happen again and cannot possibly ever be duplicated. We may have an opportunity to witness just such an event next week when the Republican Convention takes place. Actually, it could go either way but one idea being considered may tip the scales toward the magical:

GOPs RNC Cane Plan Republicans Might Delay and Transform Convention, by Carl Campanile

John McCain and the GOP are considering scrapping political speeches and turning their Minnesota convention into a “service program” to help victims of Hurricane Gustav, The Post has learned. *** The contingency plan – a worst-case scenario if the storm devastates Gulf Coast areas – would turn Republicans into Red Cross-type volunteers who would help collect donations, food and goods for storm victims. *** McCain’s campaign motto is “Country First,” and he said helping people during an emergency will take precedence over accepting the nomination. *** “It wouldn’t be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near-tragedy or a terrible challenge is presented in the form of a natural disaster,” McCain told Fox News today.

Sarah Palin caused the left media to have a conniption fit this might push them over the edge. Heyit would be out of the box and oh so different. You could say it would represent quite a CHANGE from the same ol, same ol convention.

Well, its an interesting proposition and one that could become quite an event for a very good cause.

And by the wayit seems that the local folks in New Orleans are better prepared this time.
