We are on the precipice of an achievement
If Bush had done it, the clip would have been on loop as Freudian proof of Bush's dislike of Americans and his intention to get rid of them via risky health-care overhaul, but when the greatest orator of our time stumbles over his words, nary a newscaster will mention it. Duhhh...

Iowahawk Takes His Post and Shoves it Like a Hockey Stick Up Mann's Mavening Arse
Much better than his original post on "Ace". Clear and with sufficient detail. More good statistics there than a thousand Pepe's bloomin'" In all the talk of "models" and "smoothing" and "science" and "hide the decline" it became apparent to me that very very few of the people chiming in on this have even the slightest idea what they are talking about. This goes for both the defenders and critics of the scientists.
Long story, but I do know a little bit about statistical data modeling -- the principle approach used by the main cast of characters in Climategate -- and have a decent understanding of their basic research paradigm. The goal here is to share that understanding with interested laypeople. I'm also a big believer in learning by doing; if you really want to know how a carburetor works, nothing beats taking one apart and rebuilding it. That same rule applies to climate models. And so I decided to put together this simple step-by-step rebuilder's manual. Regardless of what side you've chosen in the climate debate (I'm not going to pretend that I'm anything but a crazed pro-carbon extremist) I hope this will give you a nuts-and-bolts understand what climate modeling is about, as well as give some context to the Climategate emails."
UPDATE: Iowahawk is all bullshit. The section on PCA is all nonsense.

Interview With The Devil
At least Matematica is not Mord.... not yet at least"Until 2003, nothing in McIntyre’s life suggested that he would assume a central role in one of history’s great scientific debates—yet that life, in retrospect, seems to have been equipping him for the role. The son of a surgeon, McIntyre had an impressive record of performance in math competitions as a young student attending the University of Toronto Schools. He is still proud of having once beaten older classmate Michael Spence—“he was a bit of a hero of mine”—who would eventually snag the Nobel memorial prize in economics (2001). McIntyre went on to obtain a math degree at the University of Toronto"
"The world of mining is one in which everyone is constantly aware of how engineering results can be tampered with or misrepresented to rip off investors. And in 2003, when McIntyre first saw the hockey stick graph, it reminded him uncomfortably of some stock promoter’s over-optimistic revenue projection."
The Infidel Axis of Evil
You've seen one Rott-er dancing, you've seen Evil, boyz."Khamenei has accused Western powers of instigating the post-vote unrest, and on Sunday warned the opposition leaders that "they should realise something is wrong with them when US, French and British leaders, who are the embodiment of tyranny, support them.
"They should be warned when they see all corrupt people, monarchists, communists, exiled dancers and musicians support them," said the all-powerful leader"
IT'S ALL GLOBAL WARMING'S FAULT!!!!!
"Global warming can cause global cooling," and many other things.

Versailles is not amused
“The Internet is a danger for democracy.” Right, Pepe, right. Don't forget your meds.
Elvis Tecsley's medical travails
So I will translate the Corriere article for Tecs. Apparently, the doctor that operated on your frenchy heartthrob Hallyday has been attacked. Turns out that the doctor is a lot more interesting that your Elvis. At some point, in a pique of socialized medicine idealism, he tried to cheat the french med service into paying to fix some skiing accident of his, so Elveaux' doctor has been in the news before. But that ain't all. Turns out that the good doctor has bedded Isabelle Adjani. OK, not quit the looker, but a famous actress or celebricunt of some kind.
Here's something in Vichysoisse for you two.

First bit of satisfaction
OK, so it is not true that all academic scientists are completely corrupt. Fuck, it's a start. I thought for sure that they were.

News of the tautological
The report starkly warned that a new long-term care insurance plan included in the legislation could "face a significant risk of failure" because it would attract people in poor health, leading to higher and higher premiums, and eventually triggering an "insurance death spiral." Well, duh. A small price to pay for the triumph of AmeriSoc.
A borderline nonsensical faux profundity
Abraham Lincoln once said, “It is very common in this country to find great facility of expression and less common to find great lucidity of thought.” Alas, alas.

Coanda Saturnine!
i can't believe that you would post such ridiculous ideas. i mean, just look at it... spinning around just like a laundry dryer. this is obviously the other end of the vortex where all of our missing socks go.
Stimulus money hard at work
* Money for people to keep journals of their malt liquor and marijuana use ($389,357).
* Money to study the "hookup" behavior of college co-eds ($219,000), and the sex drive of rats on hard drugs ($30,000).
And on, and on. What should we add on the FCP wish list?

Shit. Norway's like the UK or some other slavetrader. Our buddies are Hugo Chavez and Ahmadinejad.
