Odds And Ends
posted in General |ODDS AND ENDS
The National Hockey League Season is over — or maybe it isn't. At this point the only people who care are those diehards who know the nuances of the Blue Line and can explain in understandable terms the “offside” penalty. But if the NHL hockey sticks are not active, the Global Warming Hockey Stick is on the front burner.
The current global warming flap was revved up by the publication of a graph that “proved” that recent global warming has sharply accelerated due to activities of mankind — primarily burning fossil fuels. That sharp upturn on the graph has been analogized to the shape of a hockey stick. Now, it seems that many reputable scientists and non-scientists have questioned the validity of the findings that produced the graph. Can't you just imagine the anguish in environmental circles??
On another front, the Slimy Frog of Paris, Jacque Chirac, has denied that Hezbollah is NOT a terrorist organization despite its suicide bomber attacks on civilians. That means that Hezbollah can continue to raise funds in France for its nefarious activities. I am reminded that French wine is processed by the body and then discharged with other liquids. I think I will give my body a longer rest when it comes to disposing of used French wine. Our foreign policy can be easily summarized: “First, Iraq — then Chirac”. And drink California wine!!
It is fun to watch Larry Sommers make waves with the ossified octogenarians at Harvard. Why should he have to apologize when he is not wrong?? Heaven forbid, he should not pose intellectual questions in an academic atmosphere poisoned by extreme feminists . Are Harvard and Cal Berkely so far apart??
One of the chanpionship quotes about golf. “The same people who invented golf thought they could get music out of a bagpipe”. Time for Dewars on the rocks!
