Man faces jail for protecting his home from masked attackers.

Seriously - is this for real?  This is what has become the problem in our country.

Ricky Gervais bombs at the Golden Globe awards

I am not a great fan of such Award programs (except perhaps the Academy Awards a it breaks up the winter as bit) but I did read that apparently Gervais's humour was not appreciated at this years ceremony.

I watched these clips of his gags and must say I can understand the discomfort, but there was some (off colour) funny parts.

2010 - The year "AGW" finally died

I don't miss it but I think we can safely state that this was the year "Anthropogenic Global Warming" (aka AGW) finally died. (cue the classic "Bye, Bye American Pie" clip).

As I have made fun of these ridiculous assertions before, I will display the parody (to left) from NoConcensus.com and their diligent debunk.   I would add that to Donna's "Top 10" posts - including this revealing bit of investigative journalism - that many of the "so-called experts" were working for the IPCC as young grad students and I can only conclude, merely completing their MA or PHd requirements (which, no doubt led to their advisors granting these degree's).  Can there be anymore tawdry instances of self-dealing?

This is further expanded in yesterday article from the National Post that (IMHO) thoroughly discredits the assertions of the IPCC that AGW is "concensus" as many of the reported 2,500 "scientists" did not endorse the IPCC reports.
