  1. Pop Sci’s The Best Pictures of Every Planet.
    The highly-detailed photos of Mercury, taken just a few weeks ago by NASA’s Messenger spacecraft, are quite stunning, but those who’ve been waiting to get a close look at Uranus will be disappointed: it isn’t visible — at least not in detail — because there’s a haze of methane clouds surrounding it.

  8. In the Venus shot, blow-up, there is, in the foreground image center, a distinctive capital “S” with an “X” above and below it.
    Do you think THEY are trying to signal us?
    I have goose bumps already.

  12. What’s with the Obama’s Birth Certificate stuff that has just started up again? Anybody got any info. on that? Seems that there’s no question that it’s a fake. Where does it go from there? I know the original info. is about 4 months old but why is it coming out again now?

  13. There was a move a few weeks ago to have this issue heard in the SCOTUS… I actually had my hopes up for it…
    Here’s the world headquarters for B. Hussien not being eligible for President:

  17. QOD – (QUOTE ‘O THE DAY)
    “No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the demands of
    policemen, government clerks and electromechanical gadgets.”
    Edward Abby, environmentalist (1927-1989)

    James McHenry, Antrim farmer”

    “Farmers in turmoil after spring snowfall”
    “James McHenry has been struggling to reach his sheep in Dieskirt farm, near Glenariff in Co Antrim, since the bad weather hit last week leaving many pregnant ewes and newborns stranded and dying in the cold.
    His wife Ann has been trying to look after a number of orphaned lambs that were rescued while the military aircraft has dropped feed for as many as 100 animals that are still unreachable.
    The family will know the full extent of their losses when the Forest Service arrives.
    They have been using a purpose built soft-track to help farmers get to their animals.
    Around 200 of Mr McHenry’s sheep are still unaccounted for and he said another food drop will be needed if circumstances do not change.
    “The food drop has helped immensely, it’s a very good effort but if they’re still alive, they’ll soon have that eaten. We desperately need to get to them.”
    The impact of being cut off from his animals has put the farmer under severe strain and he has said it might mean the end of his decades in agriculture.”

    “The Little Ice Age In Europe”
    “Western Europe experienced a general cooling of the climate between the years 1150 and 1460 and a very cold climate between 1560 and 1850 that brought dire consequences to its peoples. The colder weather impacted agriculture, health, economics, social strife, emigration, and even art and literature. Increased glaciation and storms also had a devastating affect on those that lived near glaciers and the sea.”
    “Figure 18: Dearth and famine in Scotland during the LIA. (Source: Lamb, 1995)”
    “Dots represent years with severe losses of stock (sheep and cattle), usually because of snow.”

    “White Easter: Germany Faces Coldest March Since 1883”
    “Complaining about the weather has reached epidemic proportions in northern Germany this “spring.” And with good reason. With Easter just around the corner, meteorologists are telling us this could end up being the coldest March in Berlin and its surroundings since records began in the 1880s.”
    “And it’s not just the northern regions of Continental Europe where the Easter Bunny will encounter problems. Great Britain and Ireland are likewise suffering through unseasonable weather, with power outages threatening the roast lamb and snow drifts making hopping difficult. Russia and Ukraine are also suffering.”

  23. I ‘Signed for Boob’… “Thank God you’re leaving. You’ve screwed up Ontario, the NDP and now the Liberals. Your cling to power has been an embarassment.” Then they asked for me to help spread the word and for a donation to the Liberal Party.

  26. AGW’s Demise Results.
    “So now, it should immediately appoint a secretary of state for cold.”
    “The weather was bizarre. Everything was said to have turned backward as cold temperatures set in and stayed. The sky was permanently overcast. The lack of sunlight became so severe that harvests failed and food riots broke out. Thousands of people fled Britain to settle in the warmer United States and Switzerland declared a national emergency. The first frost came in August and it was called “the year with no summer”.
    That was 1816 and the unseasonal summer was later attributed to a volcanic eruption on the other side of the world, but historians may look back on 2013 and declare it the “year without a spring”. This March has been the coldest in over 50 years across much of the UK and Europe, and the bitterest ever recorded in places like Sheffield. From Kiev, Moscow and Berlin in the east of Europe to Dublin, Edinburgh and Copenhagen, temperatures for the fourth or fifth week running have barely risen above freezing and an Arctic wind has made it seem even chillier. In Germany they are calling it the “100-year winter”. In Bonn, people were said today to be desperate to get out. Meanwhile, you can barely buy a ticket to Egypt, Turkey or the Canary Islands.”

    “How the government could end this long winter at a stroke”
    “We can certainly expect higher food prices. Just as the “year with no summer” was an agricultural disaster, 2013 is shaping to be one of the worst in northern Europe in decades. The British livestock industry is in crisis with tens of thousands of cattle and sheep having died in the cold. Cereal farmers have not recovered from last year’s deluges and winter crops and vegetables lie rotting in sodden, frozen, or snowbound fields.
    If the severe weather persists, any seeds already planted are likely not to sprout.”

    “Spanish newspaper: Europe got Muslims for Jews”
    “This is a translation of an article from a Spanish newspaper.
    The truth must be told! All European life died in Auschwitz
    By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez*
    I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz.
    We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
    The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned. And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
    They have turned our beautiful European cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
    And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
    We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.
    What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.
    * This is a summary of an article recently printed in a Spanish newspaper, but it applies to most countries of western Europe.”
