Hey peeps, got some good pics and stories coming soon, including my first encounter with a wahine. Here’s a quick tease: it didn’t go well.

Due to all the sincere but misguided people out there I’ll do this one more and last time. Global Warming is not Science! To the Politicians it’s power. To Scientists and Lawyers it’s money. To the Drive-By Media it’s Ideology To it’s followers it’s Blind Faith and to it’s detractors it’s Pure Hokum. But it’s only “Science” in a politically correct cover story kind of way. If it was an ‘indisputable fact’ I wouldn’t be disputing it and there’d be no need for a ‘concensus’. (“Anybody here can prove Global Warming is a fraud? You can? O.K. let’s take a vote”) What are indisputable facts are the bigger the crisis, the bigger the Grants. And the bigger the Grants the better the Life Style. Which brings up two things. 1. The advocates for Global Warming are Very Subjective and 2. If only 60% are getting on this gravy train it must be real bogus. You can question the unwilliness of the 40% who disagree for not speaking out (my guess is pressure from above; they’re getting a piece of the action too) but not their intergrity. In conclusion: 6 out of 10 Scientists choose Global Warming has all the validity of 50 years ago when 4 out of 5 Doctors chose a certain Brand of cigarettes. In a word: NONE!

Have a nice weekend, All my Friends!

The latest scam to come down the pike is a thing called “Global Warming”. It has three objectives: 1. To make you feel guilty about enjoying life. 2. To steal more money from you and 3. To get people who can’t run their own lives trying to run yours. They’ve tried this scam before. They called it “Nuclear Winter”; or “Overpopulation”; or “Acid Rain”; or “The Ozone Layer”; and even, believe it or not, “Global Cooling”. But the M.O. has always been the same: cook up some bogus figures; get the Drive-By Media involved; lay a guilt trip on people; and lie, lie, lie. It failed in the past because they only gave the end of the world blues a 5 or 10 year window. When nothing happened (of course) they started looking like that cartoon of a guy in a toga with a long beard carrying a sign that says “Repent” on one side and “The End Of The World Is Near” on the other. Now they’re saying, what!,100 years, 200, something like that? Now that I agree with. 100 or 200 years from now everyone reading this post will be dead. But the Earth will still be here and so will Mankind. So the next time someone mentions “Global Warming” to you just laugh. Just because they like being miserable don’t mean you can’t enjoy life.

Just waking up. It’s a few minutes after 9 a.m. here. Not feeling real great, unfortunately. My throat is a little sore. Yesterday was kind of a work day. Got some breakfast at an amazing place called the Aloha Cafe, and ate out in an open air lanai. Then the highlight of the whole trip, coming up with questions for quizzo. After that, I had to get to work on my column for the Metro. Went into town to get some interviews about the new Hooters that opened downtown, officially killing any vestiges of soul this city still had. But it’s hard to do a really deep story in less than 400 words, and what I started to write was too cynical, so I sort scrapped it. Maybe I’ll post the cynical one on this site a little later. Was at a surf spot called the Banyans when I got the sunset photo above. It’s beautiful out today, so I’m gonna finally hit the beach. Aloha!

This morning on KYW there was a poll that said if the election were held today McCain would beat Clinton or Obama. And that Guiliani would win even more handily. I thought how can that be? The Drive-By Media is the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party! They spin the questions till they get the results they want! Ex: They ask if candidate A was a junkie would you vote for him? But they say 98% won’t vote for candidate A! So I looked at the local Propaganda leaflet aka the Inquirer to see what the percentages were AND IT WASN’T IN THERE! So if they can’t distort the polls to get the results they want they bury it. Of course if the poll was in favor of the Democrat Party it would be on the front page. Why people continue to be hoodwinked by these propagandists is beyond me but hopefully this will help enlighten them.

Ever since Andy Reid said Quit with 1:59 left in the season I’m been dreading more and more this coming season. From personal problems off the field to personnel decisions in the Front Office. this team seems to be heading in the wrong direction at full steam ahead. We have a Quaterback who’s one good hit away permanent retirement (or worse); a second-string Quarterback who did a good job for us years ago but that was with a better team; and a third-string quarterback whose main claim to fame is he can hadle a snap better than Tony Romo. Now I know a lot of people on this website know more about Football than me. Is it as bad as I think it is? I’m thinking a 6-10; or 7-9 record. Help me out here! Cheer me up!
It has come to my attention Andy Reid said Punt; not Quit. But to paraphrase my old friend Bill Shakespeare, Quit by any other name is still giving up.

My first day in the islands was pretty mellow. Went into downtown Kona and walked around, which was a pretty extreme feeling. I will give you my feelings for what has happened to the town in the years since I’ve been gone at some point in the near future, but for now I’ll just tell you that I had breakfast at a place called Durty Jake’s, where my ex-girlfrend used to work. That was pretty intense. I used to eat there all the time when she worked there (not so much to see her as it was that I got 50% off.) So that was a pretty intense trip. I thought about her a lot on the first day. I mean, we’ve been broken up for 4 years and I’m over it, but at the place and the time when I lived here, she was a vital part of my life. And I’ve got a memory for every place downtown, and most are connected to her.

You know that feeling you got when you went away to college and you retured home for the first time, and it was no longer your town or your school? I kind of got that feeling too. I mean, we were young and tan and beatiful dolphin trainers, so we felt like we were freaking rock stars. Now I just feel like a tourist. I don’t want to give you the impression that I’m sad or bummed out. I am absolutely thrilled to see the sights, hear the sounds, and most of all, smell the smells (something you never hear anyone say when they visit Philly.) I understand that time passes and that’s all part the process, but there is a certain bittersweetness, I suppose. But most of all there is excitement to see some of the incredible things that I had almost forgotten existed.

Oh, and I went ahead and upgraded the rental. I am totally kicking ass in a 2007 Mustang convertible. I rule!

Yo peeps, I ain’t gonna spend my whole friggin vacation working on questions, so everybody can only play once a week. Maybe. I gotta talk to Dark Horse John, and if he wants to use his old questions and do the joker round and such, then you can play again on thursday. I’ll keep you updated. Anyways, there is quizzo tonight at O’Neals and the Bards hosted by Jam Master Sean. Somebody knock off the Young, the Old and Restless!
