It is history that teaches us to hope

The Other McCain spent Christmas Eve with a lengthy post.
Read the whole thing and you will find wisdom at the end.
It is history that teaches us to hope.

Climategate carol

Somehow I forgot to post this last year.

How did we have Christmas without this parody?

. 

Al Gore speaks, no one's listening 

In the lane, lights are glistening 

Oh what a sight 

With houses really bright

Seeing all the Christmas lights are on 

 Gone away is good science 

Here to stay, blind allegiance 

We're singing our song 

Yet lights come on 

Look how all the Christmas lights are on 

On computers we can cook some data 

then pretend that it is warmer now 

They'll ask: Are you sure? 

We'll say: You know, man 

And here's the hockey stick that we have found 

 Later on, we'll conspire, 

With warnings, that are dire 

Make the people afraid 

We'll pass cap and trade 

No more seeing Christmas lights turned on 

 On computers we can cook some data 

And say skeptics are just circus clowns 

We'll have lots of fun with our bad data 

Until our own emails knock us down. 

 When we speak, ain't it thrilling 

People's hearts, they are chilling 

We'll frolic and play, the socialist way, 

No more seeing Christmas lights turned on

Mikes rule, sharks drool

Have you heard there's too many Mikes on Shark Week?
They forgot me.
I'm waiting for my call.
