Cool Trick

An opportunity to win a bet!

Was the Warren Commission part of the cover-up?

Over my lifetime, I have probably watched the Zapruder film dozens of times. It is interesting to hear and see some of the inconsistencies that this film points out. It is a bit over 9 minutes long, but certainly worth watching. Our government involved in a cover-up? C'mon...

The Great Global Warming Swindle

Accepted theories about man causing global warming are "lies" claims a controversial new TV documentary.

'The Great Global Warming Swindle' - backed by eminent scientists - is set to rock the accepted consensus that climate change is being driven by humans.

The programme, to be screened on Channel 4 on Thursday March 8, will see a series of respected scientists attack the "propaganda" that they claim is killing the world's poor.

Even the co-founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore, is shown, claiming African countries should be encouraged to burn more CO2.

Nobody in the documentary defends the greenhouse effect theory, as it claims that climate change is natural, has been occurring for years, and ice falling from glaciers is just the spring break-up and as normal as leaves falling in autumn.

A source at Channel 4 said: "It is essentially a polemic and we are expecting it to cause trouble, but this is the controversial programming that Channel 4 is renowned for."

Controversial director Martin Durkin said: "You can see the problems with the science of global warming, but people just don't believe you - it's taken 10 years to get this commissioned.

"I think it will go down in history as the first chapter in a new era of the relationship between scientists and society. Legitimate scientists - people with qualifications - are the bad guys.

"It is a big story that is going to cause controversy.

"It's very rare that a film changes history, but I think this is a turning point and in five years the idea that the greenhouse effect is the main reason behind global warming will be seen as total bollocks.

Say it isn't so

On St. Patricks day, I posted a video asking the question; What if the Beatles were Irish?

Today I pose to you the question; What if Black Sabbath played country?

*EDIT* These guys are called Hayseed Dixie and there are a ton of videos of their work on YouTube.

" you gotta watch them people from Belize, they'll shank ya"

Found a great site http://www.nationmaster.com that has a mortality statistic page. What are mortality statistics you may ask? You can see the death rate per million population for handguns, rifles & shotguns, beaten to death, assault by sharp objects, (hahaha remember Monty Python and the pointed stick) knife, sword, or dagger, (thats where the post title comes from) even death by acne (who knew?). Anyway, I guess my point is we have a lot of people in the USofA, so it just stands to reason that we have more wackos than other places. It's a shame that we as a nation are ostracized internationally for our stance on personal firearm ownership. Gun control is not the answer, law abiding citizens aren't out shooting their neighbors. It is those who break the laws, or have mental disorders, that shoot innocent people. And yes it is a shame when people (especially children) are accidentally shot by weapons that were not properly secured, IMO any person who leaves an unlocked loaded weapon where a child could access it should be held criminally liable.

Last Post on this subject...

The story that will not die. This morning on Talk Radio 950 AM KPRC in Houston, The Michael Berry show, a woman named Joyce called in towards the end of the 7 o'clock hour who made more sense than anything I have ever heard. The whole hour is worth a listen, but if you let it load, go to about 3/4 of the way down the slider you can hear Joyce.

Bravo

I am personally not a fan of Don Imus, but the way in which he was railroaded for a really bad attempt at humor by AS and JJ (I refuse to post their names and get ads featuring them). These 2 morally devoid excuses for human beings should be imprisoned for the hatred they spew. Jason Whitlock writes for the Kansas City Star and also AOL sports. His latest column on AOL, contains another video from CNN where Jason confronts AS. Of course, it is impossible to get a word in edgewise with AS on his pulpit, but Jason does a credible job.
Bravo Jason Whitlock!

What's yer pirate name matey??? Arr



My pirate name is:


Calico Tom Read



Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!

OK, Just one...

The other day my neighbor, who is blond, came running up to me in the driveway, just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping for joy but I thought, what the heck, and I starting jumping up and down along with her.
She said, " I have some really great news!"
I said, "Great! Tell me why you're so happy."
She stopped jumping, breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, and told me that she was pregnant!
I knew that she had been trying for a while so I told her, "That's great! I couldn't be happier for you!"
Then she said, "There's more."
I asked, "What do you mean 'more'?"
She said, "Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!"
Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew. She said....
(You're going to love this!)

"Well, that was the easy part. I went to Wal-Mart and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a twin-pack. Both tests came out positive!"

Worlds Smartest Dog?

HAHAHA

He snorted his Dad???



According to an article in NME Magazine, published today, Rolling Stones 63 year old guitarist Keith Richards is quoted as saying "The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father, he was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

*UPDATE* According to this article from MTV.com, his longtime manager Jane Rose claimed that it was "Said in jest," and "Can't believe anyone took [it] seriously."

Gimme Shelter...

50 Years Ago Today...

The BBC show "Panorama" aired a story about Spaghetti Farmers in Switzerland enjoying a bumper crop due to the exceptionally mild winter. Millions of Brits were taken in by the ruse.

Happy April Fools Day!!!

Here is a list of over 400 (and growing) sites that posted April Fool's jokes today. I submitted the joke that was perpetrated on GEWar. It was great fun to watch as the Flu Epidemic thread grew and people became increasingly frustrated over the past few days.
