Yup. Lee Horsley.

Yeah, I'd say Talon was a true CN.

Anyway, here's the upside to Global Warming P&P http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/a ... ge_id=1770 I'll bet those damned libs will blame Dick Chaney for this!

I think I've got it, Semaj. Your sig is from Enigma.

Five points if you can name the song.

I don't have that one, so it's got be from either MCMXC or Voyager. Unless it's some kind of special edition thing.

Not without checking.

That's like saying you get five points if you can remember pi out to five thousand digits.

I thought for sure you recognized the song... the lyric is pretty specific.

Here's a big hint...

Sade, dis-moi, qu'est-ce que tu vas chercher?
Le bien par le mal? La vertue par le vice?
Sade, dis-moi, pourquoi l'évangile du mal?
Quelle est ta relígìon? Ou sont tes fidèles?
Si tu es contre Dieu, tu es contre l'homme.
Sade, es-tu diabolique, ou divin?

Nope ... but I don't think I ever really looked for the names of the different songs on the CD. I probably never knew the song name in the first place. I definitely recognize the song, though.

The bullying for scientists (now even weathermen) to tow the line to keep the lie alive for grant money really is pathetic. The one good thing about the Global Warming scam is that its revealing a hidden secret that has always existed in science. Science often has nothing to do with science, it has to do with carreers. Infact, scientists are themselves one of the largest impediments to science (esp. in academics).

This is why I hate blogs. Anyone can write whatever they want, then it gets past around as gospel. I could not bring myself to read everything written in the associated/warring blogs, but from what I get from what I did read, is that, nothing official happened about anything. One person expressed a belief, someone else countered and then a bunch of other people piled on. But, in the end, nothing came of any of it. Was this the final result, or did I bail to early?

Axe, all I can say is that's not the way I was trained in college. I didn't go into a hard science or into engineering after college, unless you count software engineering, but the main thing that was drilled into my head in all the math, physics and engineering courses I took was how to think critically and verify, verify and then verify it again. This was also my experience with doctors when I was a student worker in a physiology department. I guess YMMV, but my experience with science in academics is that most individuals are straight arrows.

Well, for right now it's nothing but Heidi Cullen running her big mouth about nothing. We'll see...
