There is a little covered report out today that shows that Sunspots, for the first time in 100 years, have failed to materialize this past month. The real story is, the lack of sunspots can be directly related to ‘Climate Change’ here on earth.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts, who runs a climate data auditing site, says the sunspot numbers are another indication the “sun’s dynamo” is idling. According to Watts, the effect of sunspots on TSI (total solar irradiance) is negligible, but the reduction in the solar magnetosphere affects cloud formation here on Earth, which in turn modulates climate.

This theory was originally proposed by physicist Henrik Svensmark, who has published a number of scientific papers on the subject. Last year Svensmark’s “SKY” experiment claimed to have proven that galactic cosmic rays — which the sun’s magnetic field partially shields the Earth from — increase the formation of molecular clusters that promote cloud growth. Svensmark, who recently published a book on the theory, says the relationship is a larger factor in climate change than greenhouse gases.

The one thing I know for sure, all those Left-Wing, no good socialists like Gore and Hansen have this country over a barrel with this issue and the sooner they learn their lesson, the better for all of us.

A day after two men attacked a military police unit in the country’s far northwest, killing 16 and wounding 16 others, the Chinese authorities sought to portray the ambush as an act of terrorism and said the men were members of an outlawed organization they contend has links to Al Qaeda.

The terrorists are Muslims belonging to China’s ethnic Uighur minority. Two men were arrested. The authorities said the two arrested men had spent a month planning the attack as part of an effort by homegrown Islamic terrorists to disrupt the upcoming Olympic Games in Beijing.

The real disturbing thing about this report is the knee-jerk response a so-called American expert was reported as saying after the attacks.

“Dru C. Gladney, a professor at Pomona College in Claremont, California, who is an expert in China’s Muslim population, said the attack did not resemble the kind of well-organized terrorist plot that characterizes other groups in South Asia. He said that if the group had been interested in disrupting the Olympics, it would have been better served by targeting a larger city or even an Olympics venue. “There is no clear connection to the Olympics,” he said.

Methinks Dr. Gladney just gave the terrorists a great idea, lets hope I’m wrong.

In what seems like an asinine attempt to woo the German vote, the Obama Campaign has decided to reserve the Brandenburg Gate in Germany for a last minute speech before the Convention later this summer. Jewish-American Democrats, who still hold Henry Ford responsible for the Holocaust, are being told to forget about the past and join Obama on the long road, via Berlin, to the White House.

Explaining that Barry needs to make a quick right turn, his campaign is hoping that a little of Ronald Regan or JFK will rub off on the rookie Senator from Illinois. As an added bonus, they just might get a couple of YouTube minutes at the epicenter of the worlds greatest genocide in history.

Meanwhile, German Chancellor Merkel who is a center-rightist, has “only limited understanding for using the Brandenburg Gate as an election campaign backdrop,” and that she had “great skepticism as to whether it is appropriate to bring an election campaign being fought in the United States to the Brandenburg Gate.” Obama’s handlers meanwhile are hoping some of Merkel’s conserative views would also rub off on Barry, who under other circumstances would be locked up as a left-wing agitator in the Fatherland.

Needless to say, Mrs. Merkel can rest assured that countless Americans feel exactly the same way, and the smart ones are betting that this campaign stop may never happen.

You better watch out, Comcast and Time Warner have announced they plan to charge you big bucks to use the Internet. These no good, money grubbing cable TV shysters who operate in a largely uncompetitive market, offer tiered ‘pay for everything’ TV plans that force consumers to pay for a bunch of crap stations that no one watches. As an afterthought, the cable companies had piggybacked phone and internet services onto your cable, using the same ‘one price fits all’ scheme to get millions of people off Telco based services like DSL and onto their networks. Now that they have baited millions of unsuspecting subscribers, they intend to switch and to begin charging customers for the amount of data they use. And the charges are going to be big.

Cable Companies, who become internet service provider’s simply because at the time they could bring a faster service to the users than DSL could, have argued that all of the Internet Based entertainment services like HULU, ROKU, SKYPE, XBox 360, PS3, and NETFLIX use much too much bandwidth and there is not enough to go around. They feel that if we continue to watch these programs on our computers, the Internet is going to run out. So, to keep all the Bandwidth Hogs from using up the Internet, they are going to charge by the Byte. The truth is, the Exaflood just isn’t happening.

In reality, Pay per Byte is just another trick they are using to keep you, the customer, from downloading content in direct competition to them, the cable companies. The scare tactic, the potential for a $200 bill from Comcast, will make many families vow never to download a movie, watch a TV show, or play an online game again for fear of going broke. The Cable Companies are hoping and praying they can kill the fledgling ‘on demand’ business by making it too expensive for the average family.

And to make matters even more obtuse, there is no way you will have any idea how much you consume since reliable bandwidth meters just don’t work. It looks that for now, your choices are limited. But there’s fiber at the end of the tunnel. 

Verizon, a hard core telco with ‘fiber to the house’ or FTTH, is in fact building a brand new network. In direct competition with the Cable Companies, Verizon has no plans on charging ‘by the byte’. The service, reliability, and cost of fiber optics when deployed make cable look like the Dial-Up of old. 

Telecommunication is Verizon’s core business and they are willing to give unlimited data to all users regardless of ‘how much’ they need. For $100 a month, you can even run a server from your home. It doesn’t sound like Verizon is going to ‘run out’ of Internet like the Cable Companies anytime soon, and although they are now providing TV as well as Internet, they have every intention of welcoming power users with reasonable charges that don’t scare the average Family of Four away from the Internet. Lets just hope they hurry up.

Take-Two Interactive Software, who had been asked by a Federal Court to show why it is not in compliance with a subpoena demand by regulators involved in the EA deal, have told the Feds to ‘forgetaboutit’. Saying rather loudly that that the court’s request is unnecessarily broad and would entail unacceptable additional expense, the company has decided to ignore this latest request.

Take Two, who apparently is being run by a group of meth addicted Bioshock  groupies, have hired the conservative law firm of Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster as council. Senior Partner Tom Goldberg, who until today was thought to be assassinated by Niko, was refreshed and is in court. Take Two, who have never heard of the Southern District of New York or White Plains, figures if they ignores the Feds long enough, McCain will call off the witch hunt when he gets elected, thanks to Tom.

Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto remains the No. 1 video game on earth, selling 871,300 units in May, over $500 Million in less than 2 months.
