[To the scurrilous would-be character assassins that frequent these pages I have a question. How does diverting to and focusing on Hitler's reputation as genocidal maniac bear on Germany's introduction of autobahns in a productive discussion about the development and utility of limited access highways? gjr]

Bill,
1). My niece’s young smart techie love of her life husband has been diagnosed with cancer (lympth) and it has mushroomed in the last 5 days. Young, brilliant, with a second child due soon. His dad once was given a new position created for him at Intel or Cisco or one of those Beaverton outfits, CTO. Both have since left to form new companies. He will have the best of medical care, but prognosis is always uncertain.
Not the best christian…..not by a longshot but I will keep the lad in my prayers.

This is how the left plays the intellectual game of data hide and seek.
Research university hides results of fracking study which fails to prove it’s dangerous
POSTED AT 5:01 PM ON APRIL 26, 2016 BY JAZZ SHAW
What happens when a university research department is tasked with conducting a study of the harmful effects of fracking on ground water and other environmental concerns? Well, that depends on who provides their research money and what the results turn out to be. In the case of the University of Cincinnati, a lot of their funding comes from groups which have a vested interest in proving how harmful fracking is so it’s hardly a surprise that they lost interest in the study when it failed to produce any evidence of ground water contamination near commercial fracking sites.
Jeff Stier, senior fellow and head of the Risk Analysis Division at the National Center for Public Policy Research in Washington provides a detailed report at Newsweek.
Geologists at the University of Cincinnati just wrapped up a three-year investigation of hydraulic fracturing and its impact on local water supplies.
The result? There’s no evidence – zero, zilch, nada – that fracking contaminates drinking water. Researchers hoped to keep these findings secret.
Why would a public research university boasting a top-100 geology program deliberately hide its work? Because, as lead researcher Amy Townsend-Small explained, “our funders, the groups that had given us funding in the past, were a little disappointed in our results. They feel that fracking is scary and so they were hoping our data could point to a reason to ban it.”
So, if the results do not support the left hypothesis, it is OK to hide the results. Especially if the researchers want some funding in the future. One has to ask, how many AGW studies showing it is null and void have been hidden, to keep the research money flowing?

This while continuously whining about “boundaries” when he makes a habit of rooting through public tax and criminal databases looking for dirt on your neighbors.

re BillT’s 558am – Does anyone else wonder why our leftwing cannot connect the dots from the global experience with socialism to what WILL certainly happen here when such policies are finally put in place in America? The harbingers are already visible wherever one looks. All my life I’ve wondered what special kind of intellectual blindness afflicts these people. From the carefully camouflaged studies that are being done (e.g. the functional MRI imaging of Left v Right brains asked to solve/answer the same problems) the conclusion emerges that the differences in our brains has a clinical basis. That explains why they are immune to remediation through normal educational pathways.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with 41% support to Clinton’s 39%. Fifteen percent (15%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
This is the first time Trump has led the matchup since last October. Clinton held a 41% to 36% advantage in early March.
Trump now has the support of 73% of Republicans, while 77% of Democrats back Clinton. But Trump picks up 15% of Democrats, while just eight percent (8%) of GOP voters prefer Clinton, given this matchup. Republicans are twice as likely to prefer another candidate.
Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Trump leads 37% to 31%, but 23% like another candidate. Nine percent (9%) are undecided.

Darn, she put this bumper sticker on her back window that reads “My other ride is a feminist.” So, we switch cars and I am driving around with my head in the clouds….until I looked at the back. There are stickers about Keeping Sqaw True, Support the Ironworkers, Santa Cruz, Ladies Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society, and finally, “I’d rather be at Possum Lodge.” That’s my little girl, except that “My other ride is a feminist” is not something I want to be stopped driving around in. It’s a Daddy thing.

I attended a showing of Marc Morano’s Climate Hustle tonight and I must say I was disappointed. There were no gross errors of fact but there was far too much filler and not enough fact.
I did learn how to pronounce Nobel Physicist Ivan Giaever’s last name.
In short, they updated the classic The Great Global Warming Swindle by dumbing it down, repeating some of the same material and not actually giving enough information to interested viewers who want to double check claims.
Dr. Judith Curry got her points across nicely, including the hit to her career that going off the reservation cost her personally. Other scientists who found themselves on the street (one physicist was summarily fired from a 20+ year position two days after their op ed ran in the WSJ, not because of errors but because it didn’t match their official line) made the point of how scientists were kept quiet.
Some footage of Philip Stott in 2007’s IntelligenceSquared debate was included and the trouncing of the Warmists in that debate was rightly cited as the reason Warmists shy away from debating skeptical scientists of the likes of Lindzen, Stott, Christie, Spencer, Svensmark, Kirkby etc etc.
A panel discussion including Sarah Palin followed the film (ummm, video, some of which was low rez enough to make it painful to see on a big screen)… and and perhaps a quarter of the audience chose to walk out then; I might have followed but I didn’t have a clear path out and I generally don’t leave the theater until the credits are finished.
No doubt Climate Hustle will eventually be free to view on the net. If you didn’t see it, don’t fret. Go watch the original The Great Global Warming Swindle or Klimamysteriet (the Cloud Mystery), the Danish documentary about Henrik Svensmark by Lars Mortensen.
