OOPS! wrong again, kenny_troll. Ain't the internet grand for finding out TRUTH and FACTS? On Sunday, President Obama gave Gov. Rick Perry heat for being a climate skeptic, calling him “a governor whose state is on fire, denying climate change.” But, Obama seems to be denying the conclusions of his own government scientists when it comes to the cause of the Texas droughts. But, earlier this month, Dr. Robert Hoerling, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research meteorologist, who served as the lead author of the U.S. Climate Change Science Plan Synthesis and Assessment, clearly and emphatically dispelled the notion that climate change has anything to do with droughts in Texas. cnsnews.com

Is this what capitulation looks like, kenny? White House won't seek to delay the healthcare lawsuit The Obama administration on Monday opted not to seek a delay in the Supreme Court’s review of healthcare reform, leaving little doubt that the court will weigh the law’s constitutionality just months before the 2012 election. thehill.com

Most liberals have very little common sense..the condition must be contagious: Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:-Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm;- Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies, don't spend more than you can earn and adults, not children, are in charge. His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights,I Want It Now,Someone Else Is To Blame,I'm A Victim.Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, do nothing.

ken..."Without the extremely hot weather, the fires would have been extinquished."... There is absolutely no way you could know that and it is a ridiculous thing to say.

ken...Are Your hero's plans working out better than he expected? He appears to favour islam big time so he must be very happy with the results of his interference in ME countries?? What do you think ken...you very happy as well?? 'Arab Spring' hoists flag of Islamists Militants more and more seeking to influence uprising outcomes September 26, 2011 wnd.com WASHINGTON – The "Arab Spring" movement, which has swept through the Middle East and across North Africa, overturning 30 years of autocratic rule in some nations, is the beginning of what observers now are calling the "Islamic Awakening," according to a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. Already, Turkey and Iran are seeking to influence the uprisings, with Turkey wanting more secular Muslim governments while Iran wants governments ruled under Islamic law, or Shariah, much as the Islamic republic is now. The meeting of the First International Islamic Awakening Conference held in Tehran last week served as a "strategic charter" for the Islamic states. The initiative is seen as a bid to "hoist the flag of Islam and fight back the U.S. hegemony and the Zionist regime (Israel)," according to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, who gave the keynote address. Since the beginning of this year, the Muslim world has seen popular uprisings beginning with Tunisia with the overthrow of President Zine El Abidne Ben Ali, then followed in Egypt by the toppling of President Hosni Mubarak. Demonstrations against autocratic rulers continue in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Syria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia – all countries which the U.S. has supported over the past 40 years. Khamenei warned that the West will continue its "hegemony over the countries using the power leverage," he said. "In case enemies fail in their tactics, they will try to foment internal war among the tribes, races and parties and pressure countries by imposing economic sanctions and blocking their assets." Sources say that it was due to the wave of events surrounding the Arab Spring that the Palestinians decided now to press for a seat in the United Nations. Despite Turkey's falling out with Israel, a further symptom of increasing Islamic influence in the wake of the Arab Spring was the sharp rebuke that leaders of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood gave to the suggestion by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan for Egypt to adopt a "secular state." Such a rebuke not only shows how the Islamic influence has gripped those seeking change from their previous secular rulers. It also displays the limits of what the U.S. had hoped would be greater Turkish influence over the Arab world's Islamists.

Do you think the incoming brown dwarf star might have contributed to the fires? Or maybe climate change? "Disruptions throughout the solar system suggest that the present solar cycle #24 is likely to produce Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) rivaling that of the 1859 Carrington Event. If this were to happen during dry conditions, many wooded parts would be totally in flames. The smoke and heat could affect weather patterns in places far removed from the fires not to mention disruptions in the food supply chain. Cascading catastrophic occurrences could happen concurrently. There would be no help to call on, since everyone would be busy dealing with their own local emergencies. Further: 1. Loss of ground cover; 2. Failure of irrigation systems due to a lack of electric power; and 3. Persistent use of herbicides which have destroyed natural ground cover; would set us up for dust storms that might dwarf the ones in the 1930s during the Great Depression. We would, as before, probably see mass migrations to more sustainable regions. Why The Sudden Commotion? Some scientists believe an incoming brown dwarf star, several times the mass of Jupiter, is responsible for disrupting our solar system's heliosphere. The brown dwarf has disturbed Pluto's orbit. It is also disturbing the orbit of Jupiter and the rest of the celestial bodies in our solar system. The sun is emitting Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) during the last few months that are having a significant impact on the earth's geomagnetic axis and electromagnetic field."
