‘The thermometer’s broken’
Of course, if it wasn’t coming from a company that has already lied, exaggerated or miscontrued so much important information, we could listen to their suggestion of a broken thermometer with a straight face: Concern is growing that the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan is no longer stable after temperature readings suggested one of its damaged reactors was reheating. The plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), said the temperature inside No 2 reactor – one of three that [...]

Cheaper
I know so many people who need medical care right this minute and aren’t getting it that I literally can’t keep track anymore. Let’s put it this way: By the time a TV network is holding a sweepstakes where the grand prize is a trip to New York for … a colonoscopy, you know paying for tests and treatment is on everyone’s minds. That’s why it’s just so crazy that the GOP and their mindless minions are so fixated on [...]

Greece is burning after banker bailout vote
100K in the streets. More about the troika’s demands on Greece, which include gutting of labor law and collective bargaining agreements – in other words, Scott Walker comes to Athens: http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2012/2/12/8913/17655 Via email: Greece has essentially been invaded and conquered by foreign powers who are looting the country while everyone else suffers. Except this time, instead of Nazi paratroopers landing in Athens, the same result has been achieved using the markets, the EU and the IMF, and collaborationist elements of [...]

I already heard him on the teevee this morning, asking “If God was a Republican,” because He “shut down Washington and kept the Democrats from implementing their agenda.”

Although maybe not yet at work, this recent series of storms shows the costs of climate change (and why “climate change” is the better term for generating awareness of the problem than “global warming”).
I’ve heard that DC has exhausted its snow removal budget for the year, and it probably isn’t the only city similarly impacted. The economic costs to city governments alone has been huge. The consequences would not be nearly so severe if the storm had hit the midwest, where they have the experience, stockpiles of salt, and thousands of plow trucks to handle this type of snow.

And see that right-hand red dot under severe drought? That’s roughly where I live. Short 30 inches of rain over five years, in a watershed feeding into a great lake that’s down. Canceled dogsled and ice races. And an area that’s gone up a whole hardiness zone in the 17 years I’ve lived here. I appreciate planting for zone 4, but it’s still wrong.
