New House Climate Czar | Talking Points Memo → talkingpointsmemo.com

jeremyywang:

Good to know that climate change policy has already been written… IN THE BIBLE??? 

Wait, there is nothing good about this. At all. Incorporating church and state? A new Northwest Passage as an economic opportunity? Human-induced climate change is an “arrogant proposal”? A scientific theory is just an “educated guess”? 

There are so many things wrong with this. If this doesn’t seem at least a little bit fishy to everyone (and I mean EVERYONE), I need to get back to my job in science education. 

This is not to say that I side with the climate alarmists. They’ve made enough money by “greening” products and scaring small children. But that’s no excuse to butcher science in general.

I am clear about this: I would rather my politicians seek policy advice from skeptical scientists gathering data today than a fundamentalist text written thousands of years ago.

End rant.

Last night, via ESPN:

MINNEAPOLIS — At one point in the third quarter, Kevin Love, leaned over to Michael Beasley on the bench and whispered in his ear. “I’m going for 30 tonight,” Love said. With Love having only seven points at the time, Beasley looked at him and said, “Thirty what?”…

What a great game to see live; certainly the best I’ve seen since Dwayne Wade dropped a triple double on Kentucky in the Midwest Regional in 2003.

“Their players, dispersing now toward their families and golf courses and hunting pastures, will be bad company for the next few weeks. This took away their pride, and they won’t recover it until they can bat and throw again in March and April, and resume the chancy, everyday winning and losing that comes with their trade.” — Roger Angell. If there’s a finer scribe on the beautiful game, I’m not familiar.

“Downey’s character is a little bit like me during my darker, more defensive moments in the early to mid ’90s when I was recently divorced and struggling in a highly competitive Hollywood freelance realm and routinely getting blown off and lied to and told “no” and “sorry, pal” and “eff you” and dealing with all kinds of political pressure from film-industry bigwigs as well as my own editors and dealing with a vodka-and-lemonade problem on top of all that.” —
