Earth day

I did put the wink next to it! Just pointing out the irony. I understand the concensus is often a concensus for a reason. But I also know a snake oil salesman when I see one. I think when you look up snake oil in the dictionary Al's pic is there.

Snake oil is a concern. If corn oil comes from corn what about snake oil and baby oil.
BTW did you read it?

Joe , I have not offered a cure for anything. I just guestioned the diagnosis. Al on the other hand ran down the street screaming death and destruction while simultaneously building an empire to profit from "stopping" it. Who is the one with the snake oil to sell?

What?


You guys never Googled yoga pants?

Pathetic.   


New thread idea?





Crap, never mind, it's Friday night and I am posting under the influence again.

Dave, she is just another model that does not represent anything you will see in your future, and the globes in your shorts heating up is not the same as "Global Warming"!

Yikes!! Aahhhhh my eyes. Dave, I couldn't quote you and have that up here twice. At least they cropped out her cankles. I can tell that is not really Hilliary's body, she has never been that proud of our flag.

Two (if not 317) days ago, this thread...

Right wing snake oil is the only thing that helps my knee...     

With the weather warming up I believe these "winter boredom" threads will fade away with the snow and cold. It's all about the boats and SJRR now. I am very disappointed I can't make it.
Anyone, please feel free to use my allotment of fun and friendship there!
Alan, don't forget to report back on the New GC.

Here is an interesting article

Publishers withdraw more than 120 gibberish papers

This raises many questions ( but no real answers for me ) about the integrity of the published peer review concept, and the financial pressure placed on academics to publish whether they having anything new to say or not. How can 120 papers of computer generated gibberish get through a peer review process, get published, and only get discovered by someone specifically looking for them?

I suspect these extreme examples are a tip of an iceberg. How many more are are plagiarized or rehashed versions of other work probably produced by teaching assistants just so a professor can get an annual raise? Would such papers being produced in liberal institutions have weight when calculating a consensus from publishes and supposedly peer reviewed papers? I have new questions about the greed factor not playing a role in academic science.

   looks like our next pres is patriotic at least

Speaking of politics, and politicians, has anybody been watching House of Cards on Netflix? Great tv series about politics and the DC life. I am now addicted.

OK, remind me how to post you tube videos on here.

The Senate Democrats held an all night session last night to have faux fillibuster on climate change. No Republicans, or the 20 Senate Democrats who are on thin ice for the mid-terms showed up.

We are $17.5 trllion in debt, the Russian bear is once again on the prowl, our miliitary is in the process of being gutted, 49 Million Americans on food stamps....and the Senate is having all nighters to discuss climate change!?!?!

Yes, "reasonable person". That's the key Jamin. These skeptics are the same people who said every one of the alternative energy companies the government invested in went broke and laughed at my alternative energy picks for aggressive growth. They didn't buy the "we also have fewer horses and bayonets" argument either.
