I only looked at the Paddypower bookie odds, and was left wondering how they make their calculations. The odds were abt 4 to 1 against both Brexit and Trumpin. But Scott Adams over at Dilbert is now running a climate thread to test the theory that 97% of ex-scientists support Misanthropogenic Glowball Warming. This could be interesting…

Great comment in response to Scott’s challenge:
Most of the rest is a CAGW troll Brandon Gates who seems to be all over the internet for years.
Here he is a couple years earlier at a statistician’s website W.M. Briggs We Know The Climate Is Warming Because It Isn’t
He argues like David the Appalling….
The only pole that I know of that consistently nailed it during the campaign silly season was the LA Times. I found it quite ironic that a pole from the leftist newspaper in the land of fruit and nuts was the only one that consistently went against the flood of BS coming from almost all the other poles. Even the Real Clear Politics pole consolidation missed it badly though they tried the claim they didn’t afterwards.
I called Trump in early 2015.
The only poles I pay much attention to are the North and South poles, and then these…
something is missing from that “pole”….
She’s there, hiding behind the pole. Skinny thing…
You aren’t fooling me Gator. You aren’t paying attention to that pole.
Nobody seems to have been paying attention to the pole pictured and I don’t know what were the expectations at the time but I say there is much better than 85% chance it was being taken seriously and watched intently soon after the snapshot.
Is that where polar bares come from?
The real clear politics poll is an average of the others. Kinda like the average of the computer spaghetti runs for climate. If all the polls are wrong the average of all the polls will be wrong. Besides, it only matters state-by-state- not nationally, so why do they even conduct national polls?
Hey I couldn’t help but notice that the Weather Channel is up to F for their named winter storms already. The first day of winter was Dec. 21st. and their up to the Fs
https://weather.com/storms/winter/news/winter-storm-fortis-northeast-new-england-great-lakes-snow-forecast-late-december
Unfortunately they are forecasting 1-3 in snow followed then next day 1-3 in ice pellets for the weekend of 1/07/2017 here in NC — OH Joy…
Yep. That is what Joe Bastardi at Weatherbell is saying. Coming in the later part of next week. And your going to get extremely cold too so get ready to protect your lambs.
We are going to have to spend a bit of time moving the big water tanks and consolidating herds so everyone has access to shelter. Yesterday was spent getting kicked and butted as we gave shots to everyone so the milk would have peak immunity. I think some of those sheep and goats weigh more than I do.
I also found, after the head count, someone helped themselves to ALL my ram lambs and bucklings as well as several of my young ewes and does…. That is a loss of several thousand dollars. S,S&S comes to mind since locked gates are not working…
When I was going through Med Lab each of us SF Medic wannabes had a Caprine patient. They had been shipped in and they just let us loose to catch what ever one we could and that was our patient. That is except for a guy named Burris who was a recycle taking the course again. For him one of the SF medic instructors pointed to the largest goat that stood about three feet at the shoulders and said “that’s your patient Burris”.
We prepped our patients before they were shot by shaving the hair from their left leg. I helped Burris with his goat. It was like wrestling a man.
RAH, we have one 2 yr old goat that when she stands on her hind feet she is taller than my husband. I think her Ma was a Saanen X Toggenburg since she was a good 10 inches taller than the rest of the herd (lost her last year) Her daughter is going to be just as tall or taller.
Unfortunately she also takes after her Boer goat grandaddy with a nice husky body type. — (Mature Boer does can weigh between 190-230 pounds.) I roped her and even with a ‘choke hold’ she was towing both hubby and I around the pen until we could snub her to a post. I felt like I was wrestling a darn cow not a goat! Thank goodness she is fairly tame.
Yeah, but it is NC. In a couple of days it will be back in the 60s.
The “named” storms idiocy is one reason I do NOT watch the weather channel and never will again. They are a disaster…
More FAKE news. U.S. Media Frame Obama’s Russia Sanctions as “Vote Hacking” “There wasn’t any vote hacking, and no-one in the White House, Intelligence Community, or any agency therein has ever said a single act of vote hacking ever existed.”
However it is a great way for the MSM to comfort the Snowflakes and make them think the Hillary really won and Trump is NOT the president.
And to go with all the lies… President Obama Releases Ridiculous FBI Report on “Russian Malicious Cyber Activity” (full pdf included)…
So more fodder for FAKE News headlines. I Really Really want Obummer OUT and buried in the Mariana Trench. Just a quick detour by Air Force one would do it along with some lead boots.
It seems based on the evidence that the Russians hacked the DNC but not state voting systems. It also seems on the evidence that the Wiki stuff was leaked from inside by disgruntled Bernie supporters, not hacked. And Russian hackers had precious little to do with either the Clinton foundation pay-to-play operation where 85% of all intake went to ‘expenses’, nor Hillary’s insecure private server. But you can be sure the Russians have all the private deleted emails. Their plan was probably to ‘blackmail’ HRC on the last two points, not help Trump win.
I personally don’t care.
Slick helped Yeltsin win, if it goes in the other direction, Democrats don’t like it.
“It seems based on the evidence that the Russians hacked the DNC…”
I love the weasel words used from the likes of The National Review
“. . . are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts…”
AND given the obvious corruption of the Department of Justice — Lynch, and FBI director Comey (Clinton Foundation donor) don’t you think there are strings on the rest of Obummer’s department heads? (I found the strings on the CIA guy. They are posted at CheifIO’s)
More likely it was Seth Rich who was the whistleblower. I think he was a Bernie supporter and really P.O.ed at the tricks the DNC pulled. Of course he was murdered shortly after so Assange posted a reward.
On Sunday, a former British ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, said he has met the person who gave the DNC emails and it was not the Russians.

Major discussion for the last few months on the topic at CheifIO
This was a classic:
More from E.M.Smith:
Some where way back a month or two ago, E.M. Mentioned the server in Russia that all hackers use to clean off their ‘internet fingerprints’ so the can not have a hack traced back to them.
Ahh found at least part of it. Guccifer – Why Hillary Is Toast he was speaking of the Hillary hack.
PART II
Tons of discussion on the ‘Russian hack starting Here:

I’ll bet that Robbie Mook, Podesta, and Slick found out how bad “temper tantrums” could be November 9
