It's been a while since I logged anything here. Well, summers's winding down, and school's gearing up. Man, am I glad I'm not a student.

Since this is where I like to complain for the record, maybe I just hadn't been annoyed enough to set down any perceived grievances. That's changed; here's one: Sunday I was indulging in the questionable habit of watching TV network news--the Evil News, as some of us call it here. Mickey Mouse--I mean ABC--presented an obviously slanted story on Glacier National Park. I knew Glacier National Park. Glacier National Park was a friend of mine...OK, I once resided briefly near Kalispell. The subject involved melting glaciers, which the reporter quickly attributed to human-released carbon dioxide, while the screen showed heavy expressway-style traffic. We were obviously supposed to think our cars were melting Glacier's glaciers! Considering that the globalarmists' hypothesis of anthropogenic warming has *never* been established--though people may think it has because the mainstream media began to report it that way a few years ago--this was mere tilted propaganda. It's that proverbial media bias, all the more insidious because those who demonstrate it seem to remain unaware it exists; they really believe their own left/elite views represent those of a moderate majority.

One more note on globalarmism: Somewhere on the big tube not long ago I saw a program showing how a guy (a scientist, I think) was able to show a correlation between the solar-activity (sunspot) cycle and Earth's temperature, his theory involving cosmic rays' impact on cloud formation, modulated by the sun's magnetic field. Interesting; sounds as if the warmists have been barking up the wrong tree all along!

Speaking of leftists: How about that attack Demo Al Frankenstein, the Terror of St. Louis Park? What a schmuck. The clown should stick to comedy.

That Minneapolis suburb, for what it's worth, is known locally as "St. Jewish Park." It used to be home to a certain uncle of mine, though he's all over the country now. Not Jewish, he's some sort of Evangelical--though his son once called him an "Amish Quaker"--and he looks like a reactionary Muslim.
