The Masons come to mind. I get as confused by the esoteric symbolism and rituals as anyone, but the basic idea behind 'progressing' in the Masonic Order is to memorize texts verbatim. When you can successfully memorize a given text, you are awarded an additional degree. I am not a Mason myself...

I just have to post these because they are so damned funny, from Indian TV: and here's another one: Like I said. You just can't make this stuff up.

Wow! This just in. As you may know, the sheer volume of Climategate emails is horrendous. The typical email back and forth with embedded quotes within embedded quotes make them even more difficult to decipher. I downloaded them all and attempted to make sense of them, but I admit to frustration...

I don't think this is just a 'corporate' issue. It affects, for example, unions, who will now be able to channel as much as they want to left wing candidates. It also affects organizations such as NOW and, just in an attempt to be egalitarian here, the NRA. Corporations, by and large are...

Actually, this brings up an important point. Both sea level risings and glacier shrinkage have been happening at a steady level since prior to 1850--1800, I think. But even if you use 1850, that's OK. The point is, it's a steady-state change, at the same rate. Yet CO2 emissions were not really...

Thought some of you might be interested in this. A video of the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion has just turned up, never before seen and all that: Challenger Disaster Video - Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion | NYCAviation.com | Planespotting and Aviation Photography, Breaking Airline...

It appears we need a little tutorial on what constitutes 'Peer Review.' The only time I mentioned 'Peer Review' in my own review of Dolan's work was when I mentioned that as far as I knew Dolan had never undergone it. That's it. I do not maintain that my own review constitutes 'peer review;' in...

Oh, yeah. It's all 'Big Oil.' You DO know that Big Oil has embraced Cap & Trade, don't you? It will increase their profits. After all, the US government makes more off oil than 'Big Oil' does. Here's an example: In any case, here is yet ADDITIONAL evidence of fraud in cooking the books...

We've discussed 'Glaciergate' here a bit. This is the issue where IPCCv4 included a passage of dire warning that the Himalayan Glaciers would disappear by 2035 causing massive drought, starvation, and a rising of sea levels. This turned out to be bogus, but the head of the IPCC, who had been...

As for the first volume, here's Richard Hall's complete critique of it. Enjoy! This review is from The International UFO Reporter, Vol. 26:1, Spring, 2001, pp. 13-16, and was written by Richard H. Hall. Copyright © 2001 by CUFOS. Richard M. Dolan, UFOs and the National Security State...

Well, I'm quite happy Richard thinks so much of my work! :D I stand by what I wrote and see no reason to go over it again. It stands as the best consolidation of comments about Dolan's work anywhere. If you've read the review, you know that I cited many oher people's comments as well. Some of...

Just a minor point. Jimmy Carter was not a scientist nor a nuclear physicist. He was a Navy officer who took some non-credit courses that qualified him as a 'nuclear engineer' in the eyes of the Navy. Enlisted personnel who are Machinist Mates, Electronic Technicians, and a couple of other...

You gotta admit Global Warming alarmists have had a bad few weeks. First the CRU emails and computer code were released with a simple comment on the climate Skeptic blog of, “A miracle just happened.” Indeed, the 40MB compressed file listed 2,000 emails and thousands of lines of buggy computer...

Here's a PDF showing the Climategate (indeed, AGW altogether) timeline, complete with scads of references, back into the forties. I tried to attach the file, but since I've never done that before, I'm not sure it will work. If it did not, here's the link...

Here's an article--just out today--by Dr. Philip Stott, professor emeritus in biogeography at the University of London. Stott has been widely criticized over the years for his stance on AGW, and now it's payback time. Thanks to James Delingspole for the heads up. Original has a pic of the Berlin...

This is one of my favorite examples of 'Global warming' (There are many equivalent pics out there.) When this thermometer was first installed in the early 1900's there was one building near it. the rest was sagebrush and desert. Now they use the temperature increases recorded here as evidence of...

That just gave me a headache.

Actually, I do , too. It's going to be interesting to see the Kindle response. I think version 2.0 of both will tell the tale. I want one, therefore I must be an alien.

Actually aliens may be the only customers for the new iPad, the new super-sized iPhone--without the phone.

Bob, As I understand it there are basically four sets of data: two terrestrial and two satellite. The two satellite sets were calibrated on the terrestrial so they depend on the accuracy of the terrestrial data. One of the biggest problems with the terrestrial data sets is that they are...
