With nine feet of snow in Oswego, RET didn't have to work up a sweat inveighing against the Warmistas -- I have. Blogging from the Caribbean is warm work, and I think I will have to pause and refresh myself with a glass of the rather good bubbling chardonnay to hand -- it cannot be called champagne because it hails from the wine country of Westport, Massachusetts. I must ask them to lie in some New Hampshire reds here (the '75 Laconia Vineyards is ready and waiting) in time to celebrate next year's Republican primary victories.

What happens the following November alas, will in part depend on Bob's corkscrewing his head back on in time to prevent a rout arising from his descent into the cellars of scientific credibility. Of course the climate wars are a joke, but sticking to the wrong side is not exactly funny.

Neither is the prospect of Burgundy switching to muscatel production as degree day inflation renders real champagne a thing of the past. Man does not live by Madeira alone.

Re: Jay D. Homnick's Man Bites Dog:

I enjoyed your article Man bites dog. However, there's another funny thing about what you wrote -- your comment that Klaus is a "Mini-Vac" because he lives in the shadow of Havel.

For a Czech observer like me, this is very amusing -- it's like saying that Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity live in the shadow of Colmes.

I like both Havel and Klaus and they're very different, but Klaus was undoubtedly more visible already when Havel was a president -- Klaus was always the ultimate example of a leader with strong opinions and fists while Havel was an abstract intellectual.

Havel is great but still, his divine image has been constructed by the U.S. media to a large extent. Klaus has created his influence himself.

Have a nice day

Prime mates? Dissenter Klaus? Pun jab? Prolong...ping pong...Pyongyang...ring gong...strong?

I don't know how Mr. Homnick does it. Not only does he come up with those things, which is remarkable in and of itself, but he does so while making relevant and insightful points to the topic at hand. It's impressive and hilarious stuff.
