Global Warming: It’s the Real Deal!
December 29, 2009
Or it was, I guess…
The following is paraphrased from an article in the Washington Post entitled “Arctic Ocean Getting Warm; Seals Vanish and Icebergs Melt”:
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Well, OK, I guess Algore is right; there is clear evidence of global warming; here, by the way, is the original.
Oh, wait a minute…when was this written, you ask? Let me check…yes, there it is! It’s dated November.
November NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO.
Or, said another way, roughly fifty years prior to the scare (that I remember well) about “global cooling” and the coming of a new Ice Age.

This, my friends, is unbelievable. No, check that; given the lack of anything resembling decency on the part of so much of our Congress, and particularly its “leadership”, this is entirely believable:

This is a sobering post on the legacy of Oral Roberts:
Measuring Oral Roberts’ Influence
One certainly hopes that Oral Roberts is now rejoicing with Jesus in Heaven, and there is little doubt in my mind that some very good things happened as a result of Mr. Roberts’ influence. At the same time, there is little doubt in my mind that much harm was done through his spurious Prosperity Theology teaching (I always had associated such with the Kenneths–Hagin and Copeland–as well as Benny Hinn, Smilin’ Joey, and a few others, but MacArthur points out the difference between Prosperity “Theology” and Word-Faith “theology”, and it’s clear that Mr. Roberts must assume a lot of responsibility for this awful movement). The gospel of Jesus doesn’t square with Prosperity teaching, and we must never, ever be fooled by the size of one’s ministry as an indicator of the blessing of God or of the rightness of one’s theology.

Rich Daddy God: THIS is Side-Splittingly Funny

Tim Challies reports that he and friends tried to play Joel Osteen’s Your Best Life Now, the Board Game…you know, you just can’t make this stuff up…and after finding it hilariously unplayable, was sent another board game–and that, my friends, is what will crack you up.
By the way, in the same vein, if you’ve never been to Engrish, you owe it to yourself to go and get a laugh (warning: occasionally, the “Engrish” can be a little bit “adult” in the wording).
This phrase comes from the 1978 "Jonestown massacre" in which most members of the Peoples Temple cult, blindly following their leader Jim Jones, committed suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.
