Can anyone recommend a good freezer?

It is not our patriotic duty to send children to be butchered & slaughtered
& to butcher & slaughter others every time a general or a politician gets a
hardon for a war. Rather, it is our patriotic duty to demand the highest
burden of proof to justify war. It is also our patriotic duty to hold
treasonous, corporate whore, war criminals accountable for their actions.

February 4, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick,

Not this year! It was 8 degrees C here
yesterday. (That's 8 above freezing, eh?).
The whole season has been like this. There
was snow on the ground for a while, but the
sidewalks have been clear for weeks now. Very
unusual in January and February.

regards,
--le

In case you  wonder what's going to happen when the permafrost starts
melting :

Perhaps we'll all need air conditioning soon !

temperatures in Siberia about a week ago.

Nothing surprises me there. FYI, the world's coldest official
temperature is the -129 F (-89.4 C) recorded at the Russian Vostok
Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983. Yep, July !

Coldest recorded temp in the US is -80 F at
Prospect Creek  AK. I think Canada's is about
the same. Next top 5 are:

Montana -70 F, Utah -69 F, Wyoming -66 F, Colorado
-61 F, and Idaho, Minnesota, and North Dakota are
tied for 6th place at -60 F.

Problem this year is the Jet Stream. Today it was
a respectable -48 F in Point Barrow AK but from
Colorado to Montana to Wisconsin it's been the
warmest January on record.

If you review the chart at :

You'll find that while our winters have been significantly warmer, our
summers have been cooler. I find that somewhat puzzling.

Seems to be a general trend in N. America.

I recently saw on the news several former EPA
administrators, including William Ruckelshaus,
condemn Dubya's administration for doing nothing
about global warming...

Do tell me that Christine Todd-Whitman wasn't among them ! Her only
saving grace is that she eventually figured out that George appointed
her to the EPA just so he could have another Republican in the EPS
office. At least she had what it takes to resign after she figured it
out. Of course that was after she altered the goverment-commisioned
report indicating that global warming was being caused by the human
factor and was therefore not a completely natural occurance. Combined
with the significant evidence that she has endangered thousands of
people who returned to lower Manhattan prematurely, I think she was
the absolute worst director the EPA ever had.

""No reasonable person would have thought that telling thousands of
people that it was safe to return to lower Manhattan, while knowing
that such return could pose long-term health risks and other dire
consequences, was conduct sanctioned by our laws," and called
Whitman's actions "conscience-shocking."
   U.S. District Court Judge Deborah A. Batts, February 2, 2006

when issuing a ruling on Whitmans request to be ganted immunity from
the class action suit brought by those who were exposed to the
incredibly high levels of dioxins, asbestos, heavy metals and PCB's.
Unfortunately the same judge didn't rule on the case brought by
Stanley G. Hilton. That judge determined that a sitting president
can't be sued due to the legal loophole of 'Doctrine of Sovereign
Immunity'. IOW, the government can't do any wrong even when we know
good and well they were guilty as sin.

Good God (and I ain't religious): can you *imagine* the sh.t (and how
much of it) those people were exposed to? We've all seen that footage of
the billowing clouds chasing people down the street: for Chrissake,
there were burned and melted computers, office furniture, copy machines,
chemicals galore in there!

Apparently this (Whitman's and the EPA's outrageous lies) was all part
of a spin campaign coordinated by the Bush White House.

If the United States government, with all its capacity to collect
and interpret information, did not see Hamas doing very well in the
Palestinian election in the wake of these other Islamist victories,
then it is either willfully blind or totally incompetent—-
and neither possibility is a very comforting thought.

Don't know. But Ruckelshaus can't be dismissed.
W only wants yes men, not "republicans."

Well the RNC promoted him. Why I'll never have any idea. The good
thing is that "4 more years" is just about enough time for the RNC to
be "hoist by their own petard".   ;>)

BTW, check this out :

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/pdf/savings.pdf

Note the one of the cuts is to :

"Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Operations"

Yeah, in a time of global warming and subsequent increased flooding
our government is swinging the axe on funding while asking for another
$80,B for a "war" (yeah right ! It's called an occupation) in a
third-world country that would just as soon have not had the US
upsetting their applecarts.

well 1) Ruckelshaus is too independent but
anyone who hangs an R by their name is
dutifully promoted and 2) most repub (classic
or noecon) believe in GOV funding for only
one thing...

Just what the doctor ordered! Perfect. Warmest winter I (a native NYer) can
remember here in NYC. My father said the same.
