Galileo was not the first dude, nor the last, to get detention for sassing the wrong authority figure.

There could be something to this premise.
I think that in the global warming alarmists, most of the work is wrong.
More and more is based on false data.
Stay tuned for the big fizzle on AGW

JNK,
Now that's getting close to the truth.
In 1632 Galileo published his
Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. Galileo constructed his "dialogue" between two figures, one representing himself and the other representing the pope. Galileo gave his pope character the name Simplicio (simpleton). The dialogue basically consists of foolish claims by Simplicio and elegant refutations by the character speaking for Galileo.
Needless to say, the pope was pissed!

Wouldn't it be ironic if all those heat-generating computers comprising the
internet were at the heart of global warming?
If so, might Al Gore be allotted double credit... at least unofficially?

Yes Tom we know and the Apollo moon missions were staged in McCain's backyard in Arizona (while he was on vacation in southeast asia) ... and the world was created on October 23, 4004 BC (and it's flat) ... and Santa Claus has no plans for moving from the house he has lived in for the past hundred years or so.
I'm actually waiting for some climate to change tonight ... we have an upper level trough moving in from the northwest and mixing with an unstable layer of Pacific moisture from the southwest to make for some severe T-storms with high potential for hail before the sun rises this morning. We'll see the evidence of the false data in the morning ... so good night!
