Proud Infidel ranting about the ongoing war against democratic and secular values (Don't fool yourselves)! Maybe a voice of sanity in a wide ocean of madness.

Sen. Inhofe Calls for Inquiry Into 'Suppressed' Climate Change Report

A top Republican senator has ordered an investigation into the Environmental Protection Agency's alleged suppression of a report that questioned the science behind global warming.

The 98-page report, co-authored by EPA analyst Alan Carlin, pushed back on the prospect of regulating gases like carbon dioxide as a way to reduce global warming. Carlin's report argued that the information the EPA was using was out of date, and that even as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have increased, global temperatures have declined.

"He came out with the truth. They don't want the truth at the EPA," Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla, a global warming skeptic, told FOX News, saying he's ordered an investigation. "We're going to expose it."

Isn't it remarkable that global warmers like the Gore (pun intended) insists on that it is CO2 that is behind climate shifts? When every reasonable explenation is that it is the level of sun radiation influx that's the answer! Only last year global temperatures sank with half a degree Celcius which is exactly how much global temperatures rised since 1940. This when the life essential CO2 level is at it's highests since... Like the beginning of the last ice age. Err!

The first day off...

... for like ages. And I can't sleep.
So what has happened meanwhile?
Well Wacko Jacko has kicked the bucket and while I never have been a big fan of him, it's still sad in some way. He was only 50 after all.

The summer has finally hit us here. Tomorrow they have promised temperatures around 30 C so I will take my son out for a swim, expose my chalk white body to some rays other than that from a computer screen and later on roast som parts of a pig on the balcony.

What about Iran? It's like- Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I mean, the guy who lost (the obviously rigged election) is no better than allaballahsvineoijihad- at all!

My plants on the balcony has got Aphids. Anybody know what to do with them other than with poison?

My father gave me a rare call yesterday, congratulating my son on his birthday (which was 04/2) and no, he is not senile, just ignorant. When I met him last- he lives in another country- he actually thought that my birthday was 04/02... Just a month off the spot! HEH!

Well my friends. I have got some serious reading to catch up with and then I will do some serious posts in a couple of days. See ya when I see ya...

Some reflections

NOW!
I'm in no way posing myself as an expert on national echonomy. I might be utterly wrong on the following thoughts, but I think they make sense.

A blogger- HAX- ( and others) has made a point out of the pro's of having a floating currency (like our SEK). They mean that a floating currency is just what it takes to fight the ongoing echonomical rescession. They mean that the low value of the SEK is good for the export industry. Sweden is an exporting country so that would make sense don't you think?

BUT!

I can't think of a single thing Sweden exports that has not parts in it or are wholy made from imported parts.

The few natural resources we have like iron, gold and energy are all traded on international spotmarkets either in USD or EURO!

Presto! That means that everything we produce will be more expensive to produce because of the low value of the SEK.

Then again, while we are an exporting country, we are an importing people. I can't find a single thing in my apartement that is not imported in one way or another. Not even the frigging tomatoe plants I have are domestic. And then there is the fertilizer that has phosphor and other stuff in it that must be imported. ALL the food I eat are either imported or made by imported ingredinses, or driven up or cultivated with the help from imported goods.

So a weak currency can only be good for the export market as long as you can sell stuff that has been produced when the currency was strong. Am I wrong?
5-6 years ago the € was 6 SEK to 1, now it is 12 to one. I have gotten 50% poorer over the past 5-6 years compared to an EURO country.

I just can't bend my brain around this!
Especially when we allready are in the EMU, for everything but the common currency.

Explain for me please...

Between work and a hard place

Just a reflection!

Why do girls/women walk like they are cross country skiing?
I'm sitting working and looks out the window and see womans walking by, and they are all swinging their arms up to chest height, looking like they are walking with staffs.

Uh!

On a side note. I have just got a digital box (Motorola VIP1920C) and I just can't make it work.
I have a signal through the HDMI socket but all I get is a black screen (all the stations are there). Anybody have an idea?

It makes me crazy!

Well, got to go back to work. I have some 1500 lines of coding to do today. Sigh...

Off the road

Been on the road for a while. Came home yesterday evening.

So today is the big election day. I have had my doubts, but it looks like it will be the Pirate Party after all. I might regret it in hindsight, but the other alternatives are just not on the map for me.

Why can't there be one political party out there that is true libertarians/conservatives?

I'm pro choise (within reasonable limits).
I'm pro free movement of capital.
I'm pro individual freedom of speach and all other individual freedoms we enjoy today.
I'm pro free movement of individuals (as long as they can provide for themselves).


But I'm against importing people without edjucation who in most cases also are analphabets.
I'm against protectionism.
I'm against the EU as it is today with all it's corruption.
I'm against all the facsist groups that ironically calls theselves "anti-fascist".

And there is not one single party out there today that meets my demands!

I think I'm going to have nightmares over this in the future, but it still will be PP in the end.

Aaaargh!

The Pirate Party- again

I have had serious considerations of voting for the PP in the upcoming elections for the EU parliment.

They are strong advocates for individual freedom, mainly when it comes to questions of the internet and other means of communication. They are against governmental surveilance and tapping of information of individuals may it be ACTA, FRA, IPRED and the TELECOM legislation, legislations that would mean that every form of electronic communication would be survieled and saved, might that be your internet communication (of every imaginable sort) or your telephone traffic (they will even track your where abouts when making a cell phone call- every time- even without suspicion of crime). Then we of course have the HADOPI legislation (French idea-DUH!), which could get you banned from the internet for three strikes of downloading copyrighted material (goodbye Youtube, Google, Yahoo e t c).

BUT!

Their top names are nothing like the ones that I would like to represent me in the parliment. As I have written before:

One of them want's unlimited immigration and the Swedish taxpayers are supposed to pay for the immigrants coming here.

Another one thinks that there should be an unlimited abortion law (wonder if that means that you can have post birth abortions?)

A third has close connections to AFA (ANTIFA) and has woved to donate her parlimentary salary to ATTAC. (For those of you not being Europeians, these are all anti democratic, fascist organisations who strangely enough calls themselves anti fascist!)

And there is more. Lots more!

By god. Is it not one single party out there that has all the bricks together?

It looks more and more likely that I will stay home on sunday catching some Z:s instead of going voting
