Quisling & The Lemonsuckers announce secret meetings over health care, and the formtion of their new rock group.

Ummmm..., if it's like gravity, then Al Gore needs to consider the following... LOL...

I'm looking forward to the coming decade of colder winters... :-)

Dalton Minimum Returns

 21 Apr 09 - Paul Stanko of NOAA writes meteorologist Anthony Watts to tell him of an interesting development in his tracking of the International Sunspot Number (ISN).

Paul writes:

My running mean of the International Sunspot Number for 2009 just dipped below 1.00. For anything comparable you now need to go back before 1913 (which scored a 1.43) which could mean we're now competing directly with the Dalton Minimum. Just in case you'd like another tidbit, here is something that puts our 20 to 30 day spotless runs in perspective… the mother of all spotless runs (in the heart of the Maunder Minimum, of course!) was from October 15, 1661 to August 2, 1671. It totaled 3579 consecutive spotless days, all of which had obs. To say that that we in interesting times is a huge understatement. We are about to enter a Grand Minimum, which in the past have produced a cooler planet, while our government is preparing for run-away global warming. Who could have predicted this stupidity?

Is a new Dalton Minimum approaching?

Russ Steele

Well 2008 arrived last night and Sunspot Cycle 24 was absent. While we had a flurry of excitement a few week ago when a patch of reverse polarity showed on the Suns surface it soon faded. The Sun reverses polarity with each cycle change. As we have discussed in the past the length of the roughly 11-year sunspot cycle is correlated with temperature and a late arriving cycle can have some long term climate implications for us folks here on Earth. The Cycle 23 solar minimum was at 1996.5, so with an average 11 year cycle we should have seen the new minimum in mid-2007. Here we are in 2008 and the next cycle is already six months late, and the defining minimum generally occurs 12-20 months after the first spot of the new cycle. This would indicate the ending minimum of Cycle 23 and the start of Cycle 24 will come in mid  2009, resulting in a 13 year cycle, the longest since 1784-1797. Interesting to note that this cycle started a long series - 13.6, 12.3, 12.7 years, which coincided with the cold period known as the Dalton Minimum. Stay tuned, these are going to be interesting times. Sun cycles indicate cooling and the politicians are trying stop global warming. We may need a little extra warming over the next thirty years.

Thanks to David Archibald for this graphic showing the relationship of cycle length to temperature in New Hampshire.

Dalton Minimum

The Dalton minimum in the 400 year history of sunspot numbers The Dalton Minimum was a period of low solar activity, named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, lasting from about 1790 to 1830. Like the Maunder Minimum and Spörer Minimum, the Dalton Minimum coincided with a period of lower-than-average global temperatures. The Oberlach Station in Germany, for example, experienced a 2.0° C decline over 20 years. The Year Without a Summer, in 1816, also occurred during the Dalton Minimum.

I have a friend who is dem to the core. Protested Viet Nam, etc. Recently became a big fan of McCain because McCain got his loan modification request to the head honco at Bank of America. Apparently everyone has a price. And that includes me. I just haven’t seen enough offered yet.

Thank you for YOUR sevice.

I’m married to an Irish gal for 47 years.

I drink a lot! :-))

(If she ever sees this, I’m deader than Kelsey’s nuts.)

True it’s only a matter time.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.

I'm lazy.

Harshbarger is an example of the corruption of the Democrat Party.

“Scott Harshbarger was District Attorney of Middlesex County when three members of the Amirault Family - Violet, her son Gerald, and her daughter Cheryl - were sent to prison for crimes that never occurred. The Amiraults, who for eighteen years had run without incident the successful Fells Acres Day School in Malden, were convicted during a national wave of hysteria over child sexual abuse in day care centers.

This hysteria, and the resulting prosecutions, has been validly compared to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Harshbarger can be forgiven for being a victim of the times. But over the past 17 years he has stubbornly refused to look at new evidence that thoroughly discredits the Fells Acres investigations and prosecutions. Violet died a broken woman in 1997. But Gerald remains in prison and Cheryl was almost sent back there.

Scott Harshbarger lacks the integrity to admit that he is capable of making a mistake.”

http://mysite.verizon.net/vzex11z4/hflyer.html

Harshbarger is scum who got his advancement by railroading innocents. He is in a long line of Mass DA’s who have done that.

“The Republicans seem to be putting up a weak defense—”

Weak? What do you expect, there are only 40 of them, the Rats have the votes if Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Blanche Lincoln, Evan Bayh and Mary Landrieu support the “compromise.” The good news is that Lieberman said today that he will not support a trigger, which is included in the “compromise.” Nelson is also on record as not supporting a trigger.

The Congress critters that vote for this POS bill might as well pack their bags. They are going home.

Not going to flame you but I just can’t think like you guys do, I will never give up. What does “We either fight or they win! Period!!” mean? Your post seems contriditory and hope you does’nt mean what I think it means or you will have to be banned for well what we can’t speak of. We don’t roll that way, once we start to think like that we lose.

It would be nice to see a photo of congress chained to electric bleachers just before the switch gets turned on.

Or after, whichever:

Frowning takes 68 muscles.

The answer to your question is most likely yes. When Hillary was negotiating with the Obama people about dropping out of the race she wanted help paying off her campaign debt.

On 04/20/2009, the Democratic National Committee sent out an email pleading with Obama supporters to help pay off Hillary Clinton’s outstanding campaign debt. According to Politico, she raised $5.6 million in the first three months of 2009 which paid off all of her outstanding campaign debt and she had just one more person to pay off: Mark Penn! Coincidentally (not), Hillary’s campaign debt to Mark Penn was between 5 and 6 million dollars.

We all need to look into this. It looks like there might be quite a big scandal here. Impeachable offense maybe?

I stand corrected. My mistake.

And in other earth-shaking news, they discovered the ice caps around the north pole start to recede every July and don't begin growing again until January whereas those around the south pole do exactly the opposite. Imagine that!

He cited Lindsey Graham as one example of a Republican leader who accepts the science.

So Grahamnesty is Gore's favorite Republican?

There are so many “last straws” and this is surely one of them.

Lindsey's invulnerable until 2014. If you want to strike out at this Soros sell out in the GOP, contribute to Bob Inglis's primary opponent this year. Inglis is the liberal Repub in very red upstate SCarolina. He's pretending to be conservative now, but I notice he doesn't have anything discouraging to say about Lindsey's new cash cow cap n tax.

Inglis and Graham are two goobers in a pod. Also help McCain's opponent in AZ. That's the best message you can send to our Palmetto AlGore.

Dude, respectfully, I was just being facetious to get a point across. Obama doesnt have any idea. NONE. Excepting destroying the “free Industrialized West” through the most powerful office in the world.

Entrepreneurial activities happen only in fertile economic environments .... and Obama is polluting that soil.

Also, I do not care how hard you try, Obama or anyone else cannot teach nor create entrepreneurs.

But if here were to acknowledge the process he could be on his way to solving the crisis in the American economy. Instead, it is obvious he wants to exacerbate the problem and accelerate the decline.

Thats why I label it nefarious agenda. Its not just this one area of American life. We are under attack in EVERY area. It is treasonous. Nothing more.

He is looking to a new servitude and indenture of America ... to his third world muslim roots.

This guy? Aint no American... now say that in your best hillbilly.

Reid wouldn’t provide details.

More irony from the most transparent administration ever.

Only seeing this bill totally defeated and Reid unemployed will satisfy me.

I admire your constraint. My wish for Reid is so much more permanent.

I had sent it to the Libertarian ping list and they have posted it already but I just thought others would like it as well.

Good one FromLori

The list, ping

*****Defeatist post of the day alert****** “Keep our powder dry”, for what General Patton?””

Pie in the sky - rose colored glasses - optimism in the face of tyranny post of the day!!!!!

He’s my take and your welcome to flame me at will!

The Fix is in! the republicans for the most part are part of the scam and those who are not are pussies!! We have witnessed a coup, a total takeover of the US government. They do not intend to listen and do the will of the people.
We are being enslaved, our freedoms are being wiped out and our way of life is being decimated. forget impeachment, forget elections, the plan is to drag America into the socialist world order the American people be damned. We either fight or they win! Period!!

Constituents will be howling with rage.

But the congresscrooks keep ignoring us. Besides,

Rasmussen asked American "likely voters" what they thought about the EPA announcement and reaction was split 41% to 41%.

Outrageous, but if they don't listen to the radio or watch Fox, how will the people know what is going on?

For those who want to keep it short and sweet:

Dear RNC and the GOP:
Follow Sarah's lead and you'll be happier for it.
Ignore her and you'll be miserable for it.
Better yet,just get the hell outta the way and let the lady do her thing!

This reminds me of the advertisement a few years ago of the smiling man bragging about all his new goods. Then he says...”How can I afford it? I’m in debt up to my eyeballs!”

Well, we all can now say “We are in debt up to our eyeballs! And WE haven’t bought anything!”

I pray that our special forces and SEALs hear us and join forces with us against this attempted coup, against these communists in our government/country....we need their help and their skills.

The marxist/moron leaders of the left in DC don’t care what the people want and never have. They want to ram this down our throats. For once, maybe, and just maybe, the political survival instincts of the mass of democrat congressmen and senators in vulnerable seats will work in our favor. They may decide that their personal survival trumps 0bama, Pelousy and GReid. Maybe they break ranks. Maybe.

...this bloated jackass is barking up a bad tree. Sarah has Facebook, and WILL use it.

What train wreck? He is getting a peace prize.Gibbs says the polls are a kid with crayons and don’t count.

IF passed these laws will never be removed.

Why is it the general thought that the law can't be reversed? Can't it be done by executive order by the next Republican President?

He doesn’t understand the science

Another Article of Impeachment for Obama’s future.

I was recently standing in a long holiday line at the post office. A senior gentleman behind me suddenly stated loudly, “Get used to it folks. This is what your healthcare is going to be like soon.”

I've wanted to do this for a long time, but have never had the guts to do it.

I’m starting to think there won’t be elections next year, due to some trumped-up “national emergency” or somesuch. Nothing elese makes any sense! Even using ACORN, bogus census data, SEIU, AmeriCorps and other voter fraud requires close races, and I don’t foresee a lot of close races next year. Someone please tell me how I’m wrong...

I see no reason to get snarky over my post.

I posted a scenario that has been discussed among conservative business leaders, which explains why certain industries (energy, mainly) are reassessing their opposition to Cap-and Trade.

Do you know something about this reassessment that I don't know, or that they don't know?

What is alarming is that only 54% are against when they know the facts?

Shows the apathy level that still exists in this country. Everyone is content resting on their laurels why their country burns...

It won’t matter if support for this mess gets down to the single digits IT IS GOING TO PASS. Jug Ears, Dingy Harry, Botox Nancy and all the rest can taste victory and don’t care if it costs them seats next year. They will be the ones that FINALLY took control of the country and IF passed these laws will never be removed. Keep your powder dry................

""It's a principle in physics. It's like gravity. It exists."

Al is yet another mal-educated Harvardian. When are we going to stop worshipping the Ivy League?

“It’s a good thing for those pushing the health care overhaul in Congress that the American people don’t get a vote. At this time, supporters are down 14 percentage points,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.>>>>

Something is horribly wrong with this statement.

It’s true but our representatives are supposed to be representing the American people not themselves.

The last thing we need is another government program, a job creation and entrepreneur seminar. What we need is for the government to get off our backs. People want to work, to invest, invent, build, buy, sell, trade, save, spend, etc. Peole want to produce and provide for themselves and their families. Everything the gov. does impedes. this. We do NOT need Uncle Obama to tell us how to do it. Geez.

LAISSEZ-NOUS FAIRE!!
According to historical folklore, the phrase stems from a meeting c. 1680 between the powerful French finance minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert and a group of French businessmen led by a certain M. LeGendre. When the eager mercantilist minister asked how the French state could be of service to the merchants, Le Gendre replied simply “Laissez-nous faire” (’Leave us be’, lit. ‘Let us do’).

Thanks for the ping.

The *silent* tax revolt is beginning to show.

It’s clear to me that government and Al Gore are going to need to regulate gravity next.

The warming of the planet is causing the Earth’s core to heat to millions if degrees. This is causing the once dense planet core to expand, thus weakening the gravitational pull of the planet.

We are at risk of falling off the planet and out into space.

Clearly we are going to need to understand our individual gravitational footprint and how it affects others as well as health care. We are also going to need to open a gravitational credits exchange market, as well as a gravitational lock box, so that our children can enjoy the same quality of gravity that we do.

This science is settled, and the only entity on this planet that can save us is the us federal government in conjunction with the UN and the NWO. We also require immediate donations, or we will not be able to help you. Oh, and, children, if your parents do not agree with this gravitational crisis, call 911 immediately, and report their whacky schemes to police.

We are threatened with tyranny arising from a belief in a huge network of so-called "climate scientists."

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers. The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present -- and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

- Eisenhower, 1961

Hasn’t happened YET. Keep in mind this is only for the first 2 months of the new fiscal year, October and November. In two months they ran up almost 300 billion in deficit! That’s a lot more than most entire years during the Bush admin.

I know. There is going to be an even larger one in 2010 on 911.

We simply must have huge victories in 2010 and 2012.

This one marcher may have said it best at the last march...
