My chest SWELLS with pride.
My seven year old daughter raised her hand in class yesterday and corrected the teacher, telling her that Global Warming isn’t real.
Gosh I love that little girl to death.
HA-HA-HA-hahahahahahaha!

cbullitt passed this on, from Frank J. at IMAO. I told him that if just one good thing happened to me today, it was receiving that quote.
It’s like Massachusetts just abandoned Ted Kennedy in a car at the bottom of a river.

Amazing. It just keeps a-squirting out.
Head of IPCC and director gen. of TERI scrambling.
Rajendra Pachauri, head of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and director general of the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in New Dehli, India, said this week that the U.N. body was studying how its 2007 report to the United Nations derived information that led to its famous conclusion: that the glaciers will melt by 2035.
Study? The IPCC isn’t going to be studying while they are on spin-cycle. There’s dirty laundry to be done, lads!
Today, the IPCC issued a statement offering regret for the poorly vetted statements. “The Chair, Vice-Chairs, and Co-chairs of the IPCC regret the poor application of well-established IPCC procedures,” the statement says, though it goes short of issuing a full retraction or reprinting the report.
Criminal minds always regret being caught. They don’t regret the act.
Pachauri told Reuters on Monday that the group was looking into the issue, and planned to “take a position on it in the next two or three days.”
Already took a stand, didn’t you fellas?
The IPCC’s 2007 report, simply titled AR4, claimed that “glaciers in the Himalayas are receding faster than in any other part of the world, and if the present rate continues, the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high if the Earth keeps warming at the current rate.”
Polar ice is also disappearing at a frightening rate and polar bears are having to commute further and further. Or so goes the rumor.
Contacted by FoxNews.com at TERI, officials would not respond to a request for additional comment. IPCC is expected to withdraw the report’s claim eventually.
Yep, that report will be withdrawn… oh.. say perhaps 2035?

Did IQ’s drop precipitously over the last 25 years?
Snow Will Be Trucked In for Some Olympic Events in Vancouver
VANCOUVER — Olympic organizers say they will truck in snow for the freestyle skiing and snowboarding events at Cypress Mountain.
The forecast for the week ahead suggests there will be no new snow for the mountain on Vancouver’s north shore, nor will it get cold enough to make any…
[snip]
Cathy Priestner Allinger, executive vice president …
[snip] … says they are not planning to have snow.
Contingency plans are now being rolled out which include using straw and wood to take the place of snow to build the base for the courses.
VANCOUVER?
Oh yeah… the NEXT winter Olympics will be held in Jamaica. Never mind that snow isn’t ever seen there, because it’s all about being fair.
For cryin’ out loud.
Just watch…Pachauri is so busy hiding the money he scammed, he is getting sloppy.
How proud you must be of your little one! I am happy to say my kids react the same way. One teacher tried to extract a promise in contract form from my son, requiring him to do something to save our planet.
And then the Spanish started…. 😉
Ditto on what Aggie said about the daughter. LK! Your heart is no-doubt soaring like a hawk!
This isn’t the one I wanted, but it’s appropriate re: written promise:

I LOLed at your daughter’s response – She’s her daddy’s kid, fer shur. I hope she doesn’t suffer any problems with Teacher Dear because of it. Having worked around a lot of teachers when I was a school bus driver (among them but not of them), I know many of them can be a rather vindictive lot.
I love your Soylent poison hypodermic, but I think teh gubmint is already working on a plan.
As far as “Lemur Face Woman,” I frequently wake up as Cat Face Woman, with the help of my youngest critter, Louis. Except that he’s usually licking my eyelids, as well. Now THAT’LL wake you up in a hurry ….
Hmmmm, I just submitted a comment & it seems to have been eaten?! Wonder what I did wrong?
Well, that seems to have worked. I guess I’m not banned … I’ll try the other one again.

Now the first comment appears …. after I repeated it. Sheesh, I’m going to bed. Nighty!
Weird, ‘felix. Perhaps your nefarious anti-gov’t link caused you to be sucked akismet-ward. Dunno, but I let your msg out of the penalty box.
Cruel Wife and I both wrote letters to GirlHead’s teacher and she was really really cool. The girl is classic ADD (seems to be hereditary, doncha know…) so she’s lucky to have a seasoned and level-headed teacher as she starts out. If she’s vindictive/petty she is a darned good actor. Unless the person is a sociopath I can usually spot the one hiding things.
Cat-face woman, huh? That’s endearing. Licking eyelids, not so much.
Great Gobs of Gooey Goodiness to the young lass, LK. My 10-year-old is too reserved to do that, But my 7-year-old might. Now if we could just get some 50-60 year-old Senators to do so, we’d have a chance. (Check my latest on how they’ll fuck that up too.)
LC–“No one expects….”
”No one expects….”
Damn skippy….not when I am 5′ 2″ and weigh 120. They NEVER see it coming!! 😀
Aggie, you and Cruel Wife would see eye-to-eye – she’s 5’1″.
I tell you folks, short chicks are dangerous.
Aaaaaand HOW!
