I am positively insulted that you state that McCain has no principles or moral compass.
I go to be every night, content and secure, that McCain was behind that campaign finance reform law. It was his efforts toward this end, a law that keeps us safe from the Muslims or the dangers of electing a communist-socialist jug-eared dictator that McCain brought to his own fine campaign.
How quick they forget.
And the American people will never forget this fine piece of legislation. Just go out to the street and ask at random. Everyone remembers campaign finance reform and are grateful for it.
The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.
The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.
Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.
Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food.
Solar output goes through 11-year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots seen at their peak.
We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call ‘Cycle 24’ – which is why last week’s solar storm resulted in sightings of the aurora borealis further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th Century.
Analysis by experts at NASA and the University of Arizona – derived from magnetic-field measurements 120,000 miles beneath the sun’s surface – suggest that Cycle 25, whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal weaker still.
ROTFLOL. Hiya Pat! So sorry I insulted McCain. NOT.
I just watched the best interview! Jake Tapper gave Newt Gingrich all the time he needed to talk and get his points across. Newt slammed the crap out of Romney for his total dishonesty. Jake did not disagree!
Jake should always host “This Week”.
Now that I am happy, I need to watch Wallace’s combative interview.
