Include WHAT beer. Left to his own devices (pun intended) he'll get Old Milwaukee. People actually buy that for something OTHER than SCR ceremonies? Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Thanks, everyone - nice, quiet day spent reading. Boring, but enjoyable. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Thank you, baby...love you too!!! Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Here's some through 09. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

If you hold less than a year, you pay your normal income tax on the profit. If you hold more than one year, you pay either 0% (10/15% tax brackets) or 15% (all other brackets) on the profit. ANYBODY that invests gets those same rates, whether they're Joe Sixpack or George Soros. There's no "special rates" just for the rich. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

I *KNOW* you're the latter. If you were honest, you'd admit that there's no clear evidence that AGW is affecting temperatures, only suppositions and possibilities. By your paper above, stating that heating preceded CO2? Yup, that was just *devastating*. You mean the ice extent graphs that come from the same folks as the Arctic graphs you like to show?

Speaking of twisting and turning - I never said everyone ELSE was wrong, just your interpretation. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

it's still stupid - income is income, taxing different buckets at different rates is just social engineering - which the gov should stay out of Claiming that "the rich" get a special rate is social engineering as well. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Oh, you mean that paper you trumpeted over that stated: "Substantial temperature change at all latitudes (Fig. 5b), as well as a net global warming of about 0.3 uC (Fig. 2a), precedes the initial increase in CO2 concentration at 17.5 kyr ago, suggesting that CO2 did not initiate deglacial warming. Nice out-of-context quote. Expected from you. www.rtcc.org/learning/research-breakthrough-co2-rises-caused-warming-that-ended-last-ice-age/ Not *MY* fault that it shot your argument down. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

You're right... blaming it on CO2 *IS* a stupid comment. And mnealtx resorts to the rubber/glue 4th grade debating style, as he always does when he runs out of ideas. And kallend resort to 4th grade insults when he can't rebut. So, show us how the recoveries from Minoan, Roman and Medieval Warm periods were natural variation, but the temps NOW are because of manmade CO2. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

Interesting stats...where are they from? According to the IRS tax stats (2009), the 200k+ filers (roughly the top 3%) earned 26% of the total income, and paid 50% of the total income taxes. 500k+ filers are 0.5% of filers, earn 14% of the total income and pay 30% of the total income taxes. The dreadful evil millionaires are 0.16% of filers, earn 9.5% of the total income and pay 20.5% of the total income taxes. So...how much *MORE* of the burden to you think they should carry? Enough that their overall tax rate is not less than that of their administrative assistants. Investment income should be taxed like any other income, not at some special favored rate for the rich. It's not - anyone that invests gets that rate, not just the rich. Class envy is *so* petty. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Uh-huh. Maybe you should let Trenberth know that, then he won't be wondering where the heat is. All you do is try lamely to throw dust in the air. No, that's YOUR gig. "It *HAS* to be CO2...there's no way it can be from natural variation"!!! Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Since I was able to correct YOUR mistakes, it seems obvious that I did, in fact, read the actual article...except evidently in YOUR reality. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

And you, kallend and the rest of the Church of CO2 adherents will continue to ignore the Minoan, Roman and Medieval Warm Periods, and the fact that there was CO2 levels several times higher than today's *during glacial periods* while still claiming "It's all due to the manmade CO2"!!!!

considering that the few diesel models match up well with hybrids, I'd say pretty well. That doesn't really answer the question...can you expand? Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

The thread title says "every state that elected a republican Gov". The R's won 24 governorships in 2010. If we're to use just the "gains", the R's netted 6 governorships in 2010. I'll have to look again but I think R gained 9 new governors but lost 3 in other states for a net gain of 6. And the lead sentence of the linked article says "Voters in 17 states elected new Republican governors", as well as being titled "New Republican governors . . ." - maybe you should have actually read it? Can you hold these clothes while you do that? They're not *quite* dry, yet. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Which is basically what I said about about price and range, no? How much of an advantage does the hybrid diesel have over the current setup? Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Yes, now that the SCOTUS has allowed billionaires to buy elections, I would expect nothing less. But enough about Soros. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

The gist is that a huge increase in air pollution (particularly aerosols from industrial processes) during and after WWII increased albedo. The pollution also caused other problems such as acid rain, resulting in pollution controls that reduced the aerosol levels starting in the mid 1970s. There isn't only one factor determining global temperatures. When known, measurable factors such as aerosols, el-Nino/la-Nina events, volcanism, etc, are accounted for, there is a very steady long term trend of temeperature increase. So, show the events that ended the Minoan, Roman and Medieval Warm periods. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

Speaking of intellectual dishonesty, it's funny how 1998 was just FINE to use as long as it was proving warming. Speaking of intellectual dishonesty, you'll note that we're *PAST* that 11 year mark, El Nino year or not. Speaking of intellectual dishonesty, it's funny how just a year or two is just FINE to talk about warming, but lack of warming requires 11 years or more to even be noted. I'd say it's YOUR side that has the market cornered on the intellectual dishonesty. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706

you expected this article to stand up to any statistical analysis? The fact that it has to acknowledge that 6 f the 7 Democratic states also improved but has to qualify it with "but not as much" already strongly suggests that this is another case of math for dummies. Or in other words, a perfect article for the Examiner. It acknowledged that both sides improved, but the Rep side improved more - seems like a fair treatment and not the ideological hit piece you try to show it as. Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.
