Obama Comes Out Swinging for Flat Earth

The president is pushing hard for the latest global warming power grab in the face of record cold temperatures while declaring "overwhelming scientific evidence" and that "naysayers" are being marginalized.

It makes one wonder if the earth were presently experiencing a heat wave whether Obama would declare the converse to be true, i.e. that naysayers are being affirmed in their assertion global warming is hogwash. One would almost think treaties and laws affirming GW would have the power to alter observable reality given the hysteria with which the left is pursuing their enactment. The good news here, of course, is Obama can in no way be extricated from association with the global warming suckerfest. Opponents will shortly be able to gleefully hang his "flat earth" beliefs around his neck.

On a further note: Obama has declared a "National Emergency" - It bears looking into, but one wonders if this is the same type of declaration of emergency giving the government unfettered power those right wing nutjobs have been predicting for the last twenty years. The narrative gets weirder by the day.

Bill Wins the Science Fair!

Congratulations on your camera housing, Bill. I have no doubt you are already contemplating a MarkII rendition.

Feast your eye's, y'all, and be sure to make appropriately appreciative noises at Bill's technical prowess (Meaning: I expect y'all to render input of the same type Bill dispenses).

Seriously, they look great, Bill. Well, maybe the tone is a bit off....

Attic elevator. So MrsJAC doesn't have to lug those boxes up those crappy fold down stairs.

The casting has to be supported along it's length, hence the location of the cross bars. That's a Miller 185 MIG and the welds are good. Deep, wide, and hot. I was thinking on relocating the crossbar position but the thought of digging through those welds stopped me cold. It ain't going anywhere.

It is now exactly 12" shorter - I cut the legs long so I could get everything located correctly before finalizing. The motors still need to be wired together and the final welds are not done. Got to floor the lift carriage and maybe put some light chain on three sides to keep the load from extending past the ceiling opening.

The hoist frame will come apart into four sections so it will fit into the attic to be reassembled there. Each end section will be cross braced, and the back will have a bolt in diagonal. Overkill, but it makes me happy. The entire apparatus weighs less than 100lbs including hoists and lift carriage.


I'll tell MrsJAC 200lbs max - (You could lift a dressed 350 no problem), paint it, trim it in and call it a day.

Next!

California is SO on Top of Global Warming

They are considering "black cars", banning big screen TV's, and converting to the exclusive use of concrete rather than "blacktop" road surfaces.

All these things are supposed to directly or indirectly contribute to our record snowfall - I mean, gloabal warming and the desired outcome is less heat absorbed by lighter colours.

Does this mean I am genetically disposed to fostering a cooler planet? Is california going to require black folk to wear white hats and ban excessively large afro's?

Bill sent me some pics of his iteration of a waterproof camera case. I am having flashbacks from the "duct tape and bailing wire" days of riding with the KLR crowd. If you can't make it out of PVC and epoxy, you don't need it anyway.

Nasa bombs the moon and doesn't stop to think folk might want to see something cool like that? If they get to blowin' shit up folks will clamber to get them more funding if for nothing else than cool videos.

You go to the article expecting a major impact and dust and explosions and the megabrains put up an infrared picture of the stage separation from a rocket they think everybody should give a shit about.

Clueless. Makes you wonder if they really do any of the stuff they say they do.

Past the Point of No Return

The last olympics!

"It could be that the 2016 Games are the last Olympics in the history of mankind," Ishihara told reporters at a Tokyo 2016 press event ahead of the vote.

"Global warming is getting worse. We have to come up with measures without which Olympic Games could not last long.

"Scientists have said we have passed the point of no return," said Ishihara.

I guess a politician is a politician and a scientist is a whore no matter where you are.

Census worker hanged with 'fed' on body

By DEVLIN BARRETT and JEFFREY McMURRAY (AP)

WASHINGTON — The FBI is investigating the hanging death of a U.S. Census worker near a Kentucky cemetery, and a law enforcement official told The Associated Press the word 'fed" was scrawled on the dead man's chest.

The body of Bill Sparkman, a 51-year-old part-time Census field worker and occasional teacher, was found Sept. 12 in a remote patch of the Daniel Boone National Forest in rural southeast Kentucky. The Census has suspended door-to-door interviews in rural Clay County, where the body was found, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Investigators are still trying to determine whether the death was a killing or a suicide, and if a killing, whether the motive was related to his government job or to anti-government sentiment.

Investigators have said little about the case. The law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the case and requested anonymity, said Wednesday the man was found hanging from a tree and the word "fed" was written on the dead man's chest. The official did not say what type of instrument was used to write the word.


The U.S. Census Bureau is overseen by the Commerce Department.

It is probably wise to stay outa Daniel Boone National Forest while asking locals a lot of nosy questions door-to-door. When the fedgov made it OK to seize folks property where dope was found, growers started growing on government land. They get kinda angry when folks go snooping around.

The Left Hand and The Right Hand

As an example of the two halves of our one party system working together take the brooha over the Obamacare glitch regarding illegal aliens:

Step 1)
The Socialist Democratic Party crafts a bill to cover illegal aliens' healthcare expenses. The Socialist Republican Party squawks publically. The SDP disputes this and points to language in the bill.

Step 2)
The Socialist Republican party protests there is no verification of citizenship required prior to treatment.

Step 3)
National ID card.

If you can't call a liar out there's no sense in opening your mouth at all. Of course, congress wouldn't get much done for endlessly and rapidly repeating the word "liar" toward one another. Hmmmmm.
