The Admission I’d Like To Hear…

     

“I’m a foolish old man who’s been drawn into a wild goose chase by a harpie in trousers and a nincompoop.”

Though I doubt they can–hell, they can’t even sound coherent with professional NYT writers at their beck and call–when the money finally runs out for the AGW scam, I would like to hear just one of the profits prophets of Thermageddon admit their folly as eloquently as Rooster Cogburn.

But who is the “harpie” and who the “nincompoop…?”

I’d have to go with Gore for “harpie” because of the whole sex poodle/chakra thing, and the fact that he is only a tool–a rich one, I’ll grant you–of Soros and Strong.

And while there is a cacophony of candidates for “nincompoop,” I’m going with Hansen. He is so wedded to his Earth = Venus idiocy that each new reproof drives him further around the bend from reality. At this point, he is openly falsifying temperature records to support his fantasy and pretending–or deluding himself–that no one notices.

Then again “nincompoop” typically implies innate retardation rather than late onset insanity. Ah well, I’ve made my selections. What. Say. You?

Skynet One Step Closer To Self-Awareness

I didn’t know Northrop was a subsidiary of Cyberdyne Systems. Fully autonomous Hunter-Killer? Here you go…

Speaking of Skynet…Does the Navy use GMail? Just a thought.

Anyway, on the upside, at least this drone can’t get disciplined for taking out political correctness-protected targets in Afghanistan. On the downside, it can’t be disciplined for taking out unprotected targets in Altoona either. So is it the T-101 or the ED-209…?

Uth Fas Bethud: Nicol Williamson Dead At 75

Dammit. Wondered why I hadn’t seen him in a while. Throat Cancer. For an actor with a voice like his–unable to work, and then having to wait for the final curtain in painful silence…that must have been a doubly hellish way to go.

He was one of the greats from that generation of British stage actors who came up right after Burton and O’Toole. Never got the accolades he deserved. He did here though, appearing in one of my earliest rants against the AGW Malthusians. An irascible Scot. He’ll be missed.

Thermageddon Folly QOTD

Remember when Germany panicked after Fukushima, shut down four nuclear reactors, and announced it would go entirely Green? Well, the populace is going to remember real soon, according to a report by Dr. Guenter Keil, which contains this gem:

Germany’s energy transformation has already failed. For Germans, the outlook is bleak. …the planned mismanagement is heavily damaging the economy and will fail spectacularly some years later because its economic and social costs will have become unbearable. The question remaining open is how many billions of euros will have to be destroyed before a new energy policy (a new energy transformation?) picks up the shattered pieces.

They have batshredders that can’t feed the power grid because the Eco-tards won’t let them build transmission lines–and they are still being subsidized. No, really, I didn’t make that up–it’s in the report.

Popcorn anyone?

Oh, The Pain…Lost In Space Robot Dead At 85

Okay, not the guy in the suit. The guy who did the voice. “Danger Will Robinson!”

Oh, And Speaking Of Mittens…

“For whatever reason, Romney seems like a creature put on Earth to blend in with the humans and report back what he finds. He clearly likes earthlings, and they in turn find him pleasant enough, and surprisingly lifelike.” — Jonah Goldberg, in the LA Times
