Pollywogs!

…my ‘toblog’ bookmark list is a mile long…

Until then, here is a neat (scary?) layer if you have Google Earth installed (and you do have Google Earth installed, right?  It is only just about the coolest thing ever!).

This layer shows a ‘middle path’ of predicted global environmental changes in the coming century from climate change.   Man does the Arctic heat up in a hurry…

This is a direct link to the temperature change layer download.

Direct link to the (to date) Antartic ice sheet change layer download.

Surprisingly I couldn’t find a decent water level rise layer for Google Earth, but this is an excellent Google Maps mashup (look at what happens to San Fransisco with just 10 feet of water!) which does the same thing.  What once was farmland will be prime seaside real estate…

Being so easily led around, so gullible, so willing to digest anything that even hints of what they want to believe…

This first one is a little long:

Obama Faces Racism in West Virginia - More bloopers are a click away

This one is much more succinct (starting about 1:30 minute in):

Can’t trust a Muslim (especially a foreign Muslim!) to lead this great country! I’ve had enough of Hussein too!

To think he was hung by a bunch of terrorists wearing ski masks…christ on a crutch…

Speaking of having the wool pulled over your eyes:

As a small, repeat donor, I just want to say that I absolutely DO NOT support having the money I donated to BARACK OBAMA being used to pay back Hillary Clinton money that she should have never loaned her own campaign.

Absolutely.

Unequivocally.

Entirely.

Wholly.

NO.

It was a bad decision: it was her decision.  Now that her campaign has effectively ended, she gambled AND LOST.  She did not lose MY money, she lost HER money.

I donated to support Barack Obama.  Not the Democratic National Committee, not the Democrats in general, and most certainly not Hillary Clinton.

I SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA.

Sincerely,
Garrett Socling

Wonder what it will look like ten years from now…

I created a very rough Google Map with a few of the pictures (when I knew where the picture was taken) here.

You know, one of those internet things. Those things that “aren’t real”. Five bucks, somewhere, hoping to make a change…

Oh wait…

Enough people felt strongly enough, appreciative enough, to donate over $4000 to buy flowers for Helen Thomas for actually asking a REAL QUESTION to the White House spokesman regarding the top-down authorization of torture. Real people. Real money. A real impact. What was my $5 worth? By itself, not much…

Combined with the will, the strength, and the resolve of countless other people, a force to be reckoned with…

Don’t ever give up, don’t ever stop caring…
