Wes Clark is a human turd!

If you ever wondered what a piece of sh/t of a half o’ man puke Wes Clark is, listen to this video.

At 3:50 he starts laying out a scenario about the agony, he as a commander has had to go thru in making critical decisions.

At 4:00 in to it, he really lets us in to his soul with the key words “what about your reputation, How do you handle it publicly?”

That shows you that he is a real “cover your ass kind of guy”. Wessy boy is. A real leader never has a concern about his reputation, you do what is right because it is just that right, reputation be damned!

He is truly an ass bag, kiss ass, bottom feeder.

With all of the political hooplah going on, we all could use a good laugh. This is a parody of Richard Dawkin’s interview with Ted Haggard. As you may remember, Super-Evangalist Haggard was accused of buying Meth and frequenting a male prostitute. Haggard was ousted from his Pastorship in the Church that he had created some years ago. Enjoy!

Henry’s Law explaining Co2 and Libs explain their agenda

What the non scientist either forgets or doesn’t have a clue of in the first place, is Henry’s Law. Henry’s law, simply put is that liquids (the oceans) dissolve gas ( Co2 ) as they cool and release it back in to the atmosphere as the warm. You will note a lagging correlation on any co2/temperature chart. As temps go up so does the atmospheric co2 and thusly as the temperature lowers so does the Co2.
The Suns output is the main driver of our temperature, as it is on Mars. Unfortunately Mars does not have enough of the most powerful and prevalent greenhouse gas of them all; water vapor.

But there is no way to enlighten the Church of Global Warming zealot, for he “believes” the high Reverend Al Gore. You can always be sure of this, when someone believes, as opposed to actually knowing something, no amount of proof will ever persuade him.

Why we use foul language

Steven Arthur Pinker (born September 18, 1954) is a prominent Canadian-American experimental psychologist, cognitive scientist, and author of popular science. Pinker is known for his wide-ranging advocacy of evolutionary psychology and the computational theory of mind.

Pinker’s academic specializations are visual cognition and language development in children, and he is most famous for popularizing the idea that language is an “instinct” or biological adaptation shaped by natural selection rather than a by-product of general intelligence. He is the author of five books for a general audience, which include The Language Instinct (1994), How the Mind Works (1999), Words and Rules (2000), The Blank Slate (2002), and The Stuff of Thought (2007). Pinker’s books have won numerous awards and been New York Times best-sellers.
