Memphis' Ties Record High Set in 1977

Memphis' Sunday temperature ties record high set in 1977 » The Commercial Appeal

If you believe the heat is due to "man-made climate change" and in no way is related to cycles in the weather - Please tell me what was going on in 1977...come on give it a shot!
When the thermometer hit 99 degrees at 1:53 p.m. at Memphis International Airport, it tied a record set in 1977.
How about fifty-eight years ago...you know when not every family even had a car, and if they did they had one...
On Wednesday, the high is expected to reach 97, which would tie the record set in 1953
Come on, I want to hear it - The Global Warming fanatics can tell me how and when we (human beings) will destroy the world, but they cannot explain why there are still record highs over 100 years old, nor can they accurately tell me what the weather is going to do tomorrow!

Bring It On

In the article linked below the author suggest:
climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.
First, I say try it... then after thinking about it, how about a trade? I may be willing to proudly display "denier", if the author (or you should the shoe fit) will proudly display IDIOT on their forehead, or maybe MINDLESS FOLLOWER, maybe FEAR MONGER...

What do you think?

Give Me a Break

Doomsday predictions are a laughing matter for those who believe, it is the arrogance man to think we know or have any control over "the end of times" - AND I am referring/including the doomsday global warming fanatics in the laughing matter.

A doctor is quoted
"We actually like to see people failing and being belittled in public," Dutton says
Though the comment is unfortunately all to true, how does this apply to planning, preparing, changing your life based on something a MAN has told you... This isn't the poor guy accidentally busting a ketchup bag on himself, or a victim of a practical joke...idiots that change everything on a doomsday prediction, living as they are cheering for it. Why else would you plan for the end...and the only plan to have is the gift salvation, by the way!

Do You ONLY Want State Approved Media and Information?

So Washington has a problem with misinformation on the internet - One of the best liars in politics is who they send out to advocate an agency to police it -
Bill Clinton doesn’t like all the misinformation and rumors floating on the Internet
So who is going to police them?

No, politicians can't be trusted, which has been proven many times and one of the reasons the internet has grown so quickly - Well lying politics and lying "main stream media", another bunch unworthy of trust!

No, I prefer to take my chances deciding who I should believe and who I shouldn't - I DO NOT need/want "state approved media/information"!

Flooding

Well today is the day, or at least it is supposed to be the day the river hits it's highest levels...

We pray for the city and all those directly affected. Luckily our business location, though mentioned in the food zone, should be safe.
The main Memphis airport was not threatened, nor was FedEx, which has a sorting hub at the airport that handles up to 2 million packages per day.

Don't Apply to Him

Obama proves he really believes he is above the constitution! I have always thought "squaring away" our courts and local government representatives should be the priority - Our president has jumped to the front, got to go ASAP (2012).

Some excerpts:
he would not abide by the section of the law defunding the establishment of so-called "czars."

So are We Going to Hear...

…this is all for oil?
Well I know if the Bush administration were still in office we would hear everything the US is doing "is just for oil", so I guess we will wait and see, but I am pretty sure I know what we will not hear.
From the article:
Oil fell for a third day in New
York on speculation that territorial gains by Libyan rebels may
quicken a resolution to the country’s civil war.

The Left's Hard Work Pays Off!

Well work the left has put into "packing the court", while many on the right have had their heads in the sand for years...is paying off!
Teachers, yes the fine and honorable teaching profession...wonder how teachers around the country feel about the honor, integrity, and caring these Wisconsin have demonstrated:
The already hard-pressed Madison School District had been forced to cancel classes for three days as teachers abandoned their students to take part in anti-taxpayer protests..
