Snow's gonna snow...

Snow's gonna snow...  And that's just what the weatherman is telling us is about to happen: 2 to 4 inches of the fluffy white stuff in the next 36 hours or so.  I sense some snowplowing in my near-term future :)

Just read it...

Just read it...  You know that with a lead like this:
Let me tell you the worst thing about the climate change scam. It’s not the lies, not bullying, not the perversion of the scientific method, not the establishment cover-ups, not the needless scaremongering, not the wasted money, not the nannying overregulation, not the destroyed wildlife and ruined countryside, not the stymied economic growth — bad though all these things are. No one what really sticks in the craw is that the people making money out of it are the scum of the earth.
...you just have to read the whole thing!

I just love the premise of a hedge fund dedicated to making money from the failures of the warmists...

On Trump...

On Trump...  This is from a great piece by Megan McArdle:
But his endlessly convenient opinion shifts, on the very core issues his supporters care most about, ought also to signal that Donald Trump doesn’t care about you, either. He’s against outsourcing and immigration as long as that’s getting him votes. But if he can find a different coalition, he’ll happily abandon the current one in a flash. As he’ll need to, if he gets the nomination, and starts looking at the electoral math to take the general. Trump may set the land-speed record for a full 180, and his supporters will have little right to complain, given that his newfound attachment to conservative issues – including the ones he hammers most – is obviously weak and opportunistic.
It takes very little cynicism (I, for one, have more than the required minimum) to believe that her paragraph applies to nearly all politicians.
