I have been amamzed at how many "half-days" California schools have. When I was a kid I would have sold my eye teeth for a half-day. 20 half-days on my childs 2009-2010 calender. All these half-days have to be made up by forcing the kids to take their school work home with them. I never had as much homework as my kids; perhaps it would have done me some good. Maybe I could have been a lawyer instead of a rocket scientist. The point is we pay these California teachers a heck of a lot. The least they could do is have the kids learn arithmetic at school rather than sending them home to learn from their dumb-ass parents, like me.

Give Paul a break; I watched the video and it sure looked like a missile to me. I'm not a contrail expert but my understanding is that a jet liner will vaporize moisture thru each engine which should leave multiple vapor trails. I know vapor trails can merge but what I saw was one single trail which could have been from a single source or conceivable from a jet liner very far away. It all depends on hte distance. The contrail looked pretty big so my initial reaction would be to say it was close.

Thank God for George W.

He may have had problems spitting out the words but his actions spoke very clear. He is a great American and I was proud to call him president. I look forward to the book and will give them out as Christmas gifts.

During the 2008 election when I really wanted to piss off my liberal friends I would emphaticlly declare "damn, I wish George W could run for a third term" It was a good way to end a stupid politcal conversation.

CO2 irradiance heat transfer is fairly complex which places most people at the mercy of "experts" like those at NASA. At first glance the "global warming" theory seems reasonable, even for people with a science background. The supposed scientific consensus supports itself becuase no one wants to be the one who questions the consensus.

Some of us in California are reasonable people but we are overwhelmed by a liberal majority.
