The Journal News gave criminals everything they need to ramp up a major crime wave in New York.

A White Plains residence pinpointed on a controversial handgun permit database was burglarized Saturday, and the burglars’ target was the homeowner’s gun safe.

At least two burglars broke into a home on Davis Avenue at 9:30 p.m. Saturday but were unsuccessful in an attempt to open the safe, which contained legally owned weapons, according to a law enforcement source.

Hottest Year Ever Update

Posted on December 26, 2012by stevengoddard

NOAA is about to claim that 2012 was the hottest year ever in the US by a wide margin, but their data shows otherwise. If US temperatures average less than -2C for the rest of the year (which is quite likely) – then 1921 will remain the hottest year according to untampered GHCN HCN data.

[Update : Further checking shows that NOAA has not included the last four days of December in the data set, which were very cold. This could alter the outcome]

I just checked over my graph and found a major mistake. Maximum temperatures were warmer in 1934 than 2012, but average temperatures were warmer in 2012 than 1934 and 1921. I had previously mistakenly graphed the maximum temperatures as averages.

The graph below shows the correct average temperatures.

The vice-president will recommend that it becomes a felony for anyone to have a gun within two miles of a school.

This is a brilliant idea for the following reasons :

1. Had Adam Lanza known that he could get in trouble for bringing a gun near a school, he never would have done it.
2. The armed policeman at the front entrance of the school could have stopped Lanza and arrested him for having a gun.
3. Since most people live within two miles of a school, it will effectively end the Second Amendment.
4. Criminals will then know that they can enter anyone’s house or business, and not have to worry about the residents defending themselves. This would be a huge help for many Obama voters, who have had to think twice before breaking and entering.

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

Make The White House A Gun Free Zone

President Obama has clearly explained why guns create danger for everyone. The only solution is to make the US a gun free zone.

President Obama should set a shining example for all Americans, by disarming the Secret Service and removing all of the snipers from the roof.

This will make America much safer. Yes we can!

2012 ranked in the bottom half of years for record temperatures. The graph below shows the sum of record daily maximums and minimums for all GHCN HCN stations which have been continuously active since at least 1920.

1936 had more than twice as many extreme temperatures as 2012.

2012 also saw the fewest tornadoes on record and the longest streak since the Civil War without a major hurricane strike.

NOAA says that 2012 was the second most extreme year in US history, because they are completely FOS.

Obama has healed the climate!

McKitten is buried in snow in Vermont, but forgot to talk about it. Today, he finally he found a one day weather event to get excited about!

Twitter / billmckibben: Top of Mt. Washington sets …

Hopefully Bill will take advantage of the balmy weather by hiking up Mt. Washington next week. Wind chill should be about -50F.

Rifles killed 323 people last year in the US, so they must be confiscated. Hammers killed 600 people last year, so they must all be confiscated. Cars killed 35,000 people last year, so they must all be confiscated. Doctors killed 190,000 people last year with poor diagnoses, so doctors must be banned. Penises were used in tens of thousands of rapes last year, so all penises must be confiscated. Millions of people died as a result of what they ate, so food must be banned. Electricity killed many people last year, as did skis, water and Muslims.

All these things must be banned – for our own good. Now you are thinking like a good liberal (except for the Muslim part.)

The gym where I workout is extremely well planned. The weights are behind the aerobics equipment, so while you are lifting you have a great view of women in spandex climbing steps on the stairmaster. This provides excellent motivation for frequent long, hard workouts.
