By the time you finish it, you have no idea what the point was.

It's just an update on Michael Mann's interminable lawsuit against Steyn. Anyone wanting more details can read Steyn's excellent "A Disgrace to the Profession."

The do in the form of large sums of money. In order to get the money, state and local school systems prostitute themselves to the Washington bureaucrats to get the money.

The only business that I can think of that wasn’t listed as essential in my state is law firms..

The University of East Anglia email dump proved that Michael Mann is the biggest fraud in all recorded history.

Charles Ponzi, Anna Anderson and Gregor MacGregor were complete pikers compared to Michael “Piltdown” Mann.

The CDC.

More worried about fighting Climate Change than Global Pandemics.

Amen!

I’m always drawn to articles about Michael Mann because that’s my son’s name. And we like it when the movie credits run and we see that Michael Mann was the producer, lol. We never knew when we named him that his name would be known around the world!

Before we get to that, let me make a general observation: You’ll have noticed that millions of people around the world are what one might call Coronaskeptics and pop up on TV and radio pooh-poohing the pandemic models. One reason they do that is because Mann’s we’re-all-gonna-die school of data analysis did immense damage to modeling in general - to the point where large numbers of persons simply dismiss all models as being a crap shoot of bollocks ...because, as I heard a radio host say yesterday, they’d seen all the climate alarmist models fail to pan out. That’s on Mann and his chums.

Modelling can be useful, but yeah, even in such disparate things, irresponsible people like Mann have done tremendous damage.

“cultural appropriation” = not-racism. One of many ways that the SJWs protest against refraining from racism...under the guise of protesting racism.

Dean of Equity at my college. Still don’t understand what she does.

Measures belly-buttons, categorizes them by style, and then denounces certain belly-buttons as racist and seeks to humiliate them or worse - if she is like others with that title.

However, if I am suffering from COVID-19 I’m not calling a plumber!

Well, when you think about it, we do know that all members of the Dumpofcrap Party, and all members of the Main Stream Manuria, are all totally full of s#!t.   If we set a bunch of plumbers loose, equipped with industrial strength plungers, perhaps they could clear out a lot of that crap, and make halfway-decent citizens out of some of those loons.   (What a great, essential service that would be to the improvement of our country!)
