Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?
Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Hugh Fennyman: How?
Philip Henslowe: I don’t know. It’s a mystery. shakespeare in love
That and, “Don’t look behind the curtain” at the Wizard: “You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.”
It’s a grand life.

And all shall have favours:
The Bush administration is laying the groundwork for an announcement of Tony Blair’s appointment as a special Middle East envoy for Palestinian governance and economic issues after he steps down as Britain’s prime minister, following two months of behind-the-scenes negotiations, according to U.S. officials. washington post
Is Blair nuts? Sure, if you “bring Peace to the Middle East” and you have not recently supported American foreign policy there is a Nobel in it for you. But, well, you’d have to be very dumb indeed to think that with Hamas the de facto government of Gaza and Abbas puffing away in Ramallah and the Lebanese army unable to take down a rag tag bunch of Al Qaeda cadet crew in a Pali refugee suburb and Hez busy not fortifying the Israeli border because the UN won’t let them, (snort), that peace thing is going to stand much of a chance.
Go be a corporate director Tony. Make more than Cherie. Have some fun.

The identities of two of three Canadian soldiers killed Wednesday in a roadside bomb blast in southern Afghanistan were released by the Department of National Defence (DND). The three soldiers were killed at approximately 7:49 a.m. local time, when their unarmoured all-terrain vehicle received the force of a nearby bomb blast. ecanada

In some fields the science is indeed “settled.” For example, plate tectonics, once highly controversial, is now so well-established that we rarely see papers on the subject at all. But the science of global climate change is still in its infancy, with many thousands of papers published every year…..
Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe solar cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth. Beginning to plan for adaptation to such a cool period, one which may continue well beyond one 11-year cycle, as did the Little Ice Age, should be a priority for governments. financial post
I, of course, blame Bush.

I suppose it takes one to know one:
“There is no dialogue with these murderous terrorists.” That’s how Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, characterized his attitude toward Hamas after the radical Islamist party seized control of the Gaza Strip. For a holder of his office, this was a first: honest condemnation of behavior that everyone except Palestinians themselves — plus a few British news agencies — know as “terrorism.” wsj

LOL
It kinda reminds me of that scientifically factual story about the single mother who immigrated here from Jamaica, the Philippines, and Albania; whose son, in spite of his being shot dead by a fellow gang member at the age of 15, pulled himself up by the bootstraps after a life-altering experience at 17; got himself a university education; became a Crown Attorney; got killed again, this time from a faulty airbag and secondhand smoke; then married a beautiful wife with AIDS; had three children all of whom died from SIDS, helmetless tobogganing, undiagnosed dyslexia and various lynchings by various stripes of bigot. edward michael george
It’s about a walrus. And a polar bear. Pushed to the edge by global warming.

China has overtaken the United States as the world’s biggest producer of carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, figures released today show.
The surprising announcement will increase anxiety about China’s growing role in driving man-made global warming…the guardian via instapundit
This may have something to do with the fact that China uses roughly 7 times the energy per unit of production than the US does. And it might have something to do with the fact US CO2 emissions have been falling under Bush.
The takeaway for the Kyotoists is that total compliance by the West with Kyoto (as if) is pointless: a) because the science is not very certain, b) even if the science turns out to prove a CO2 GW link, any savings we make in the West will be dwarfed by Chinese emissions. Which, even if the Chinese government leaps on board the GW bandwagon, are not going to decrease because the Chinese government barely controls the commercial dynamo which the Chinese economy has become.
