Lies Upon Lies Upon Lies

Eco-Crap, Two-Minute Hate, Watermelons

Thanks are owed to Jack Hellner at American Thinker  for taking the time to do what I’ve been too lazy to do:  cataloguing all the climate lies of the past fifty or so years.

I’m reminded of Hitchens’s Razor, that statements presented without evidence can equally be dismissed without evidence.  Trouble is that the Climate Charlatans have repeatedly presented evidence, except that the data themselves have been not only fallacious but outright lies, fabrications and distortions.

So… when can we begin the mass hangings and firing squads?

Bass Longing

Music

Inspired by the first video below, here is a short list of songs in which I’d like to have played bass guitar, on stage with these artists (and no, I was never as good as the featured bassists, but so what):

Little Brown Bird (Tal Wilkenfeld, Clapton/Beck)

The Confessor (Dave The Bass Player, Joe Walsh)

Sometime World (Martin Turner, Wishbone Ash)

Sledgehammer (Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel)

Every time I hear the bass on these songs, I get an attack of the If Onlies…

Classic Beauty: Gertrude Michael

Classic Beauty

She graduated high school at age 14, and then she went to college to study law.  Fortunately, sanity prevailed and she went into a musical career, then into movies.

One of her co-stars is reported to have said that she had the “most kissable mouth in Hollywood”.  That’s some strong competition, but Gertrude Michaels would have been right up there… still, I’ll let everyone else be the judge.

The bits below the lips weren’t too bad, either:

She would have been a lousy lawyer, anyway.

Here’s the story of the Lancia company — and the title says it best:  The Power Of Fun.

My favorite Lancia models (in order):

Fulvia HF

D50 F1 (as driven by Fangio)

Stratos

Aurelia B24

Stradale

Every time Lancia decided to enter some form of racing, they’d win, win big and win with some groundbreaking new technology.  Very few (if any) auto companies can make the same claim.

I just wish they hadn’t been so horribly shafted by parent company Fiat… but that’s the corporate world for you.
