   BTW, that would have been a good “pull quote” to replace the filler text.
   Since you’re beating your gums about SF values again did you have any plans to provide a list and some details…..or are SF values something only the “anointed” are permitted to know?

   Did anyone notice the asa gang got their own aclu? I was disappointed to learn the asa vp failed to make the cut for the board. As expected they should be called the All Cannabis Lovers Union of Nevada City. Does anyone think they will be a benefit to Nevada City, Nevada County or an impediment to legal economic development? Given their legal team we can expect lots of motions that garner a headline and go nowhere. Just as the usual suspects always do. How will lefty jeffy deal with the inevitable clash between the asa er aah aclu and Greg Diaz? I know the County wont be bullied but we need to keep a close eye on this crew and not let them screw with our real business interests in Nevada County.

   For those of us who remember, Dr. Rebane once penned an excellent post about the tobacco enema. A medical devise of yesterday from whose origins came the phrase “blowing smoke up one’s arse.” The thread of the Two Joes strangely triggered my recollection of Dr. Rebane’s tobacco enema post.
   As a student of primitive antiques and history, I have come to the conclusion that Blackbeard the Pirate was not only a humanitarian, he also was quite health conscious. He even offered his employees a medical plan with the best surgeons around.

   What puzzles me is why the confusion/uncertainty the so called “experts” have concerning purpose of the pump. The answer is plain as the nose on one’s face. It was to flush out the remains of what the humanoid caused climate change folks were feeding his crew. Like the tobacco enema, it may not have helped, but it didn’t hurt either.

   Actually, just thinking about the new ACLU here. I think they will go after Pelline since he seems to be the most adamant about shutting down free speech. I recall his positions on Western Gateway Park an others. Also, what is Pelline’s position on the homosexuals and transgendered folks. Is he prejudice against them? If he is then perhaps they will take him to the woodshed? So, sometimes these things are uncontrollable and the liberals can’t hack it. Since we on the right are all about free speech and Constitutional rights, then we may have a group who will fight for us?

    Mr. Steele, I am indifferent to see the ACLU here. They will be here to protect our free speech rights against the thought police. If Sierra College ever tries to set up a No Speech Zone for chatter that some find disagreeable, the ACLU will be there like the Ghost Buster Squad. Heck, they even defended the Skinhead KKK White Supremanies iin some God forsaken place. Who knows, they might be defending some young lassie who pulls out a boob to breastfeed on the bench in front of the National Hotel. They will be defending searches of students lockers and all sorts of stuff, leaving no rock unturned.
    Noticed Patty Smith is on the board. I have poked around and have not found one single person who actually knows Ms. Smith personally utter a single unkind word about her. Those that know her personally and even as a passing acquaintance sing her praises loudly as a kind, caring, loving person without being prompted or hesitation. That says a lot. Heard she spends much time on labors of love to help people for free. May disagree with her, but she would be a perfect fit for the ACLU.
    The Barney Fife Squad has some competition and those who try to muzzle our God given rights should be watchng their backs. The pendulum swings both ways,
    All in all, much ado about nothing. We need more Ben Emerys fighting the good fight, whether I agree or disagree.

    2014: The Most Dishonest Year on Record
    ‘Warmest Year On Record’ Claims Falling Apart Under Scrutiny
    The Nasa climate scientists who claimed 2014 set a new record for global warmth last night admitted they were only 38 per cent sure this was true. Yesterday it emerged that GISS’s analysis – based on readings from more than 3,000 measuring stations worldwide – is subject to a margin of error. Nasa admits this means it is far from certain that 2014 set a record at all. –David Rose, Mail on Sunday, 18 January 2015
    http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/01/20/2014-the-most-dishonest-year-on-record/
    In actual fact, 2014 was the 9th warmest since 1979 in the far more accurate and non contaminated and non manipulated satellite data sets (RSS and UAH merged).
    Winters have cooled for 25 years here in the United States, accelerating in the last decade and this year will continue or even increase the downtrend. The only reason that they can make the claim that every month since 1985 is warmer than average is that they cooled off the early 50 years of the century by 0.3F or more degrees with their ‘corrections’.
    Thus, the satellite recored is the most accurate. Joe, perhaps you can provide some counter argument data?

    For the interested reader, there has been no positive correlation between long term earth temperatures and concentration of atmospheric CO2. In fact the last 20 years is an embarrassment for climate alarmists to which they respond by ignoring the data, turning up the volume on their ludicrous claims of consensus. Here’s an example of 11,000 years comparing the Greenland temperatures (for those in doubt, Greenland is on Earth).
    http://www.skepticalscience.com/co2-temperature-correlation.htm
    The bottom line is that science does not yet know the complete process for Earth’s carbon cycle which includes CO2 sources and sinks, and the paths between them. The part that is known has been integrated into the various general circulation models (GCMs), with the unknown parts plastered over variously by the (government funded, agenda driven?) computer modelers. This is why the GCMs give such widely varying results, and more damnably why the aggregate uncertainty (variance) of the predictions has not decreased over the last decades.
    http://rebaneruminations.typepad.com/rebanes_ruminations/2013/10/manmade-global-warming-the-smoking-gun.html
    For the scientist this is a major red light indicating that we don’t know what we’re talking about. When science in any area progresses, the variance in its predictions shrinks – not so in predicting climate. Readers who pay attention will notice that the climate alarmists never address or respond to the science-based arguments in this debate, simply because they cannot. Their response always focuses on denigrating the sources of skeptical evidence.

    For the interested reader, there has been a very weak correlation between CO2 and temps over the past ~540 million years, while there’s been a very strong correlation between temps (in this case, OCEAN temps as measured by oxygen isotope ratios in fossil crustaceans) and galactic cosmic rays.
    I think JoKe has never seen a chart of the average correction factors given terrestrial temperature records by NASA GISS or the UAH to homogenize them… the corrections by themselves follow the claimed warming quite well, while the four major worldwide, non-terrestrial air temperature datasets (two satellite, two radiosonde/weather ballon) have sharply diverged from the IPCC-blessed computer models over the time of the “pause”. The evidence is pretty clear now that the IPCC-blessed models overemphasize the role of CO2 and have missed something of critical importance.
    There’s nothing in concept with the homogenization of terrestrial datasets… you can’t just have an average of the thermometers, because if you add five Sullivan Screens in the frozen north and remove five from equatorial regions, it will bias the result, but the warmistas seem to always find more reasons for inflating the temps and few reasons for deflating them. Is that cause to denounce them as fraudulent? No, not necessarily… they’re true believers and think it is really happening. They’re fooling themselves and as Feynman observed years ago, “you are the easiest one to fool”.
    They’ll get it eventually, as will the EPA and the State of California, but not before more economic damage is done.

    War is Hell. In war, you come face to face with the demons within and without, at least for those who have been close up and personal with the enemy doing the Tomahawk Chop. Nothing pretty or nice about it, period. You can only hope that your buddies make it back alive since your own fate is certain death. Until that outcome comes to fruition, you kill and kill and kill some more.
    Evil? We all know Evil exists and it is not by some moral equivalencies. Evil is an absolute. Evil? What is evil. Reminds me out what Pilot replied to Jesus. “Truth? What is truth?” War is not evil. Hell is not evil. Evil is found in war and in hell.

    Look at it this way. The Jordanian pilot’s randsom was for two held in jails in Jordan. Now, who are ISIS going to demand be released next time they do this? Don’t know, but it certainly won’t be those two. Jordan took the chips off the table.
    You have to be brain dead to think the two Japanese non combatants would ever ever face anything but death. ISIS demanded a cool 200 million for their lives/Muslim Tax, but never set in motion any mechanism or instructions how that randsom money would be delivered and to whom and by whom. They like killing all non Sunnis and they like it a lot. They would rather fall on their own swords and sell their own children into the sex slave industry than ever receive a randsom or payment. No shock value in that. ISIS simply does not negotiate. Makes them look weak and less frightening to the faint of heart.. ISIS executes allof their fighters returning from a battlefield defeat. No middle ground. No talking, no money, nothing but complete domination of all and submission by all to them is the one and only thing that will pacify them, period.
