Comments on: Good reads http://www.bookwormroom.com/2007/11/14/good-read/ She escaped from the belly of the liberal beast Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:04:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Danny Lemieux http://www.bookwormroom.com/2007/11/14/good-read/#comment-16927 Danny Lemieux Thu, 15 Nov 2007 15:35:59 +0000 http://proto2.webloggin.com/?p=2119#comment-16927 I've noticed that heat waves make headlines but nobody writes about cold-waves. For fun: whenever a headline appears that talks about "record heat", I google "record cold" and, sure enough, somewhere in world there is a record cold wave. I take Stossel with more-than a grain of salt. He is provocative but he also tends to shoot from the hip without all the facts. Which is OK if the objective is to stimulate inquiry but not if the objective is to inform. However, for Ophi's sake, Stossel did include a very good link with respect to the IPCC report. Here it is: http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/originals/whytheipccshouldbedisbanded.html Finally, Book. you should try to avoid the term "common sense". It's so illogical and might cause the brains of some posters at your blog to swell and explode in a spray of multi-colored Jel-O.

The headline was Winter of the Century. I had to laugh yesterday when I saw an item on TV text news about snow in the Alps. The headline was Winter of the Century.
