Funny indeed.

I do think the Arafat prize dumped Nobel in the crapper.

The guy was one of the great terrorist/murderers of all time.

Hey, give peace a chance, right?

Yea, well you know what they say: "Yesterday's Terrorist becomes tomorrow's Freedom Fighter".

Happens all the time. Arafat is certainly a case in point, not to mention any number of ex-Israelli Prime Ministers, Ho Chi Mihn, and oh yea - Geo. Washington!

@ Dr. Kill - it's all good!

Ironic.posted today

Tuesday we told you about several areas around the planet experiencing record cold and snowpack — in the face of all the predictions of global warming.

Now there is word that all four major global temperature tracking outlets have released data showing that temperatures have dropped significantly over the last year. California meteorologist Anthony Watts says the amount of cooling ranges from 65-hundredths of a degree Centigrade to 75-hundreds of a degree.

He says that is a value large enough to erase nearly all the global warming recorded over the past 100 years. Watts says it is the single fastest temperature change ever recorded — up or down.

Some scientists contend the cooling is the result of reduced solar activity — which they say is a larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases.
