It Looks Like That Stunning Jobs Report Isn't Fooling Anyone: Oil Is Down Over A Buck Today

Background here.

I apologize for posting this again. I posted it just the other day, but I honestly don't know what I love more: the way Willie Nelson can play the guitar; his strumming is so distinctive. Or the angelic voice of Emmylou Harris -- her voice is also so distinctive.

Til I Gain Control Again, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris

One of my favorite sites to track global warming is "Real Science." This is quite incredible. The faux environmentalists have scared us into thinking that anthropogenic global warming will result in a one-degree rise -- maybe, a two-degree rise -- in the global temperature over the next century. The link asks if perhaps President Obama turned down the thermostat too much this year. This is the coldest spring since 1975, and back in 1975 there were Time Magazine cover stories of the coming Ice Age. Look at the temperature map at that link -- especially the Bakken.

But the link that is the most fun is this, the graph that was posted yesterday, May 8, 2013. Steven Goddard, the webmaster, notes that the temperature in the United States has dropped 3 degree this year:

If the current trend continues, the US will approach absolute zero by the end of the century. This is appropriate, because we have a bunch of zeroes running the country.
