The Meaning of “Win”

Posted by Eric at 8:51 pm. Filed under: General

Michelle Malkin comments on the fact that Clinton can’t even give a straight answer to the simple question of his Super Bowl prediction.

Bush 41 gives a succinct answer: Patriots by 14.

Clinton hesitates, brags that both teams’ hometowns “voted for me twice,” then rambles on about the Eagles’ defense without giving a spread. Or anything else definitive.

Funny.

And the AP says:

Ultimately, though, Clinton didn’t pick a winner.

Captain Ed, in his live Super Bowl blogging points out:

Don’t forget that his wife still has elections to win, presumably a national one in 2008.

The Benefits of Global Warming

Posted by Eric at 3:26 pm. Filed under: General

From the San Francisco Examiner we read:

Q: There are advantages to global warming?

A: Absolutely. I come from Denmark, and there it’s pretty cold. The environmental assessment of the impact of global warming in Denmark is that overall it will be slightly positive. We’ll have better agricultural production. We’ll probably have better forestry. We will, however, also have more flash rain. That will be a negative.

One of the most typical examples we’re told is that people will die from heat waves from global warming. That’s true. People will die from heat waves. What you really seem to forget is in most advanced countries, the cold deaths outweigh heat deaths two-to-one.

And of course while you will get more heat deaths, you will also get many fewer cold deaths, and actually a research team looking at the cold and heat deaths around Europe estimated that for Britain global warming will mean 18,000 fewer deaths.
