Musing On a Rainy Friday Afternoon

There has been a lot of moisture out here in West Texas the last few months. Right now, we are at about 2 1/2 times normal, and our rainy season has just begun. I suppose its the El Nino that has been in progress, but the Winter sure felt like Global Cooling.

That does bring to mind the issue of Global Warming that all the liberals were panicked about. We have not heard a lot about that lately, since the science has been shown to have been unscientific. It appears that a lot of it was based upon scientists wanting to be politically corrrect so they could get more government money for research. The rest was based upon doctored evidence that was never disclosed, and "conveniently" lost before it could be checked.

Poor Al Gore. It now appears he will not make the billions of dollars he would have made if the "cap and trade" fiasco had passed.

The problem is, the globe does warm and does cool, and we should be prepared for it. Right now there appears to be temporary cooling, but by the time we really establish that, it may well be warming again.

That is what the earth does. It warms for a while, then it cools. In the last 100,000 years we have had several cycles of warming and cooling. Humans have always adapted to it. We need to be prepared to adapt to it again. We can't stop it, and to try would be foolish.

Back to the rain. It caused the postponement of the Tax Day Tea Party on Thursday. Too bad. I was going to go, as I did last year.

It has been very interesting to see how our political left and their minions in the media have treated the Tea Partys over the last year.

At first they were "right wing extremists" then moved on to be racists and Nazis. That did not work, of course, because none of it was true. They also tried to set up some individuals as "leaders" of the Tea Party and tried to tear the Partiers down by attacking those "leaders." That didn't work, either, mainly because the Tea Party groups are all local folks. Its a movement, not an organization.

The lastest is a New York Times/CBS poll that asserts they are rich and well educated, and not representative of a cross section of the citizenry. That will fail as well, because its not true. Obviously, the media has not covered the actual Tea Partys enough to have a clue about them. Or they don't care about the truth.

I wonder what they will try to come up with next.

On a Personal Note

Back when I started this blog, I knew little about it, but did so because a friend of mine did it, and I thought it might be fun to do.

At the time, knowing that there is nothing really anonymous on the Internet, I determined that I would not hide my identity, and that I would scrupulously abide by the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct.

As a result, I have kept my commentary entirely on political issues of national interest, and have not posted on any issues that might ever come before me when sitting by assignment.

I welcome and encourage comments on the issues presented on this blog. I know that there are many who do not agree with my viewpoint, and welcome your input.....as long as it is on issue.

Lately I have been having another kind of commenter......some who would use the comments to anonymously criticize rulings or decisions I have made. These comments are not welcome, and have been, and will continue to be deleted.

All I can say to those people is that if you do not agree with me, just appeal the case.

If you wish to complain to me, then call me. I probably will not discuss any case with anyone, but at least you can honestly express your opnion before I hang up.

Those who would be cowardly and try to hide behind anonymity.....well, reread the second paragraph.
