The Soviets boasted back in the 70s that they could change the weather by seeding with silver iodide via bombers. Turned out to be just another fraudulent claim.
During the Olympics, China boasted that their seeding efforts swept the smog out of Beijing in time for the Opening Ceremonies. No proof whatsoever to suggest that they even lifted a finger to alter the climate so as to bring about wind to blow the pollutants away.
We’re specks of dust on this planet. To think otherwise is vanity.
Liberals don’t get it. We don’t care if Sarah America is a woman. As long as she leads by example, normal people will respond to that every single time.

Late 80s (I think), Sports Illustrated did a behind-the-scenes expose of ESPN when the network was taking off. A description of Olbermann was not flattering, and the article implied that his colleagues didn’t much care for him. He fussed over his hair, and methodically applied makeup before every appearance.
After he left ESPN and went to network news, he complained in an article how difficult it was to do actual journalism. The hours it took to research something, verify it, re-verify it. Much different than running down the scores. Obviously, he considered this to be too much work, and he’s now doing what he does best: BS’ing.

“Ill gladly try the stuff. I just like nicotine.”
I work in a “tobacco-free zone” where I interface with lots of people, but the snus is so discrete that no one knows. As for nicotine, a single sachet is perfect, but I’ve learned that smokers like to have two at a time.
