Your students are lucky, or maybe their parents are. Every year, I have to periodically question my daughter about her science classes to make sure they aren’t trying to brainwash her.

It’s good you do that. Bcs most science teachers don’t do science. They read pre-canned lesson plans that come with the book & do that stuff.
They don’t do any research on their own of the topics they’re teaching.
I find many ‘science’ teachers are nothing but those who couldn’t, teach.

Why the divide between Pro and Con climate change scientists, both groups of which are probably playing it straight?

One group contains a lot of left-wing folks who just cannot stand being told they are wrong. They make shame for the entire lot.

I’ve been thinking of you IrishEi and am delighted to hear that you’re alright. I hope that things get better soon. Hang in there and be well. :)

And I have as much back-up for that as the AGW crowd has for their hypothesis.

“Anyone who says there’s hasn’t been a dramatic change in weather patterns has been denying reality,” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told reporters today.

A politician can’t remember what’s in the Constitution or keep his penis in his own pants but we are supposed to accept that he’s the equivalent of a PhD level climatologist. Right.

It’s worse than being off topic. I went to bed early last night and I never even read the quotes! I just came for the morning chitting and chatting.

But in this ALL cases, nature is more complicated

Meh. Thas whut I ment.

But in this cases, nature is more complicated

This is the dealie.
I’m so sick of AGW CRAP I could puke.
I was really hoping I could stop showing Al Gore’s movie & the Great Global Warming Swindle to my sophomores & have them do these climate change speeches.
And then I hear this garbage &know I have to cover it in class.

He can’t be this stupid. If Obama were to be re-elected with his help, he can go join John Roberts in the corner. Exactly how much are Conservatives to take before we go to war. Four more years of Obama? In 2016 the entire country would look like New Jersey does now. Blackouts. Empty streets. Shelters.

Marcus on November 1, 2012 at 7:02 AM

I think Christie has already joined Roberts in the Republican’s corner, nationally speaking, whether Romney wins or not.

Personally, Christie’s self-aggrandizing bothers me even more than Roberts’ dumb decision, in the sense that I don’t believe Roberts was motivated by self-promotion like Christie is now.

Thanks AC

LOL! I read that the other day, and that they are big liberals. I’m sure you love them, but I can’t wait for them to get a chance to feel the way the rest of us have felt the past four years!

WE CAN’T PRINT MONEY’
New York top finance official, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, said Washington should foot the bill, because of lingering financial pressures on state and local governments from the 2007-09 recession.
“I think the focus will have to be on Washington, for obvious reasons,” DiNapoli told Reuters in an interview.
“They have greater resources. They can print money; we can’t do that here. And given the fact this is not just a New York disaster, it’s really a national disaster, it’s probably for the federal government to step up and play a significant role.”

NICE. And despite my Moaning Joe reporting, I try so hard. I really do. I want so hard to turn to Fox and Friends and leave it there. But the show often is deserted with absolutely no one of consequence there. Where is Hume? Huckabee? Gingrich? Coulter? anybody?

Marcus on November 1, 2012 at 8:12 AM

Hey, someone has to do it! We all deeply appreciate you and cmsinaz being willing to listen to that crap so we don’t have to. I will be there on November 7th, just to watch the meltdowns and the tears. I listen to the radio in the morning. In Pittsburgh, strangely, there is an excellent morning show.

wapo poll 78% approval for dear leader on handingly sandy…will this turn the election?

cmsinaz on November 1, 2012 at 6:20 AM

No, it won’t.

it infuriates me that bush was respectful of what took place post katrina and didn’t want to get in the way and gets ridiculed…dear leader shows up and its AWESOME

Bloomberg understands how 0dumba showing up in NYC would only complicate matters, but most outside observers who don’t think about that angle believe that involving himself only shows how caring the President appears.

agree with bill bennett this am over the disappointment of christie…he has no problem taking a tour with dear leader but doesn’t want to with mitt because he has a job to do…he had a job to do yesterday as well…what is up??

cmsinaz on November 1, 2012 at 6:50 AM

Christie is a politically grandstanding blabbermouth who selfishly cares more about his own star than he does about the GOP, and Conservatism in general?

Marcus on November 1, 2012 at 8:12 AM

Try enjoying yourself over a good cup of coffee while listening to some chamber music.

thanks i needed that :)

bluegill on November 1, 2012 at 7:56 AM

gotcha…frustrates me but i feel like I need to hear what the other side is saying

cmsinaz

Since it is way too early to drink, why not treat yourself to this

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/10/31/WaPo-ABC-poll-Romney-Obama-Hurricane

According to the latest Washington Post/ABC News tracking poll, it is highly unlikely that Obama’s behavior during the reaction to Hurricane Sandy will have any impact on the presidential race:

Likely voters’ also remain evenly divided in their assessments of Obama’s overall job performance: 50 percent approve of the way he is handling the presidency; 49 percent disapprove. The stability of these numbers — and of the presidential contest — make it unlikely that high ratings on handling the storm damage will move the needle on either front, but 70 percent of those who give Obama negative marks generally give him positive marks on the hurricane.

just want you to know what they are saying…i’ll scale it back…no worries
don’t care for fox and friends or cnn in the am while i’m getting ready for work…
cmsinaz on November 1, 2012 at 7:52 AM

No, you can post whatever. I personally have no issues with it and I agree that it can be interesting to hear what others with opposing views are saying.

I was just wondering if you actually enjoyed it. It seems like it was driving you crazy, yet you would still continue to watch and post what they were saying… And would seem so frustrated (or maybe amused?) by what you were hearing. Though maybe I am wrong.
