Press Banned from Action at Oil Spill: First Amendment Suspended

We can send our press into the heat of Iraq and Afghanistan, but their presence in the Gulf is forbidden by the administration - it's all about their "personal safety" dontcha know. This is outrageous, as you will see in the video. Is air space still closed?

 Obama is still looking for some ass to kick. He chose the press. If you don't see it, it didn't happen. I'd love to see Anderson Cooper this pumped about the border. We could sure use some press about the Arizona and Texas problem. Cooper says "we are not the problem here," but he and others in the mainstream media have become the problem because they won't tell the stories with any sense of thoroughness or urgency. Seriously, does anyone know if the airspace over the spill has been opened?

Thanks to my sculptor friend David Lemon for the First Amendment video. Have you ever traveled the Old Bozeman Trail along the Madison River in SW Montana? David says it has been traveled for 11,000 years. He videoed it for you. Also video of the bronzing of his War Medicine piece. Awesomely beautiful. If you haven't seen this process, you must. At about 3 minutes into this video you see David in the foundry, and the bronzing is going on, and in the background you hear Rush Limbaugh. Gotta love it!

Bozeman Montana Tea Party Video

Artist David Lemon from Ennis, Montana - Master of Bronze, videographer and blogger (see him at work here) is sharing his video from the Bozeman, Montana Tax Day Tea Party. I always love an excuse to put up some of his sculpture, so here is one of my latest favorite clays, which David is preparing for bronzing.

David Lemon's Iron Horn 

The first thing that occurred to me was that everyone looked so "bright and clean," and once the rally got going, it was obvious they were also "articulate" Saw lots of "nice-looking guy," Saw lots of African-Americans at this Tea Party.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." ~ Joe Biden

Enjoy, and oh, by the way, there's some chainsaw action going on, among hopes that Obama feels their "stimulus." Great video!

See Lemon's gallery here. (David is a blogger friend. I'm not a salesman:-)

Watching David Lemon Sculpt Ain't No Cowboy

Blogger friend and awesome artist, David Lemon, has found a beautiful new gallery to showcase his work, and is inviting us all up to take a look. When you get to Lake Tahoe, California, find the gondola at the Heavenly Sky Resort and nearby you'll find The Pacific Crest Gallery. Video below.

Ain't No Cowboy

Today David worked on a piece titled 'Ain't No Cowboy,' using a local cowgirl (or maybe just a friend) as his model. Watch this fascinating video below of David at work. Visit his website Clay to Bronze - 2010. You'll find a link there to The Pacific Crest Gallery. Enjoy!

Inhofe Rolling Stones Warming Idiot: Inhofe Planet Enemy No. 7 - Mojib Latif Cooler Temps Predicted

Rolling Stone magazine named Senator Jim Inhofe No. 7 on their list of "Idiots" who are the "planet's worst enemies." Inhofe's outrage was that he wasn't No. 1. Nevermind the mini ice age some prominent climate scientists believes we may headed for, including Professor Mojib Latif, a member of the UN's IPCC. See a beautiful video of Montana and the "cooling trend" there, from a reader below.

Top on the list of those believing cooler temps are on the weather radar is the U.N.'s own Professor Mojib Latif, "a leading member of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC). Latif apparently warned his colleagues in a 2008 Geneva conference that tests he developed and performed deep beneath the surface of the ocean showed a coming cooling trend.

Speaking of the natural cycles that determine warmer or cooler temps, Latif said:

They have now gone into reverse, so winters like this one will become much more likely. Summers will also probably be cooler, and all this may well last two decades or longer.

The extreme retreats that we have seen in glaciers and sea ice will come to a halt. For the time being, global warming has paused, and there may well be some cooling.’

In other words, this cooling is not a side-effect of warming, as so many warming theorists want us to believe. 

Latif is a professor at the Leibniz Institute at Germany's Kiel University. Life may be a tad uncomfortable for this IPCC scientist, because no one wants to hear what he is saying.

According to the UK's DailyMail, the BBC continued the warming storyline:

Though record lows were experienced as far south as Cuba, where the daily maximum on beaches normally used for winter bathing was just 4.5C, the BBC assured viewers that the big chill was merely short-term ‘weather’ that had nothing to do with ‘climate’, which was still warming.

Professor Anastasios Tsonis, head of the University of Wisconsin Atmospheric Sciences Group says that multi-decadal oscillations (MDOs) are moving together in a "synchronised way across the globe," and "they are abruptly flipping the world's climate from a warm mode to a "cold mode," and the same will happen again in another 20-30 years.

Prof Tsonis said that the period from 1915 to 1940 saw a strong warm mode, reflected in rising temperatures.

But from 1940 until the late Seventies, the last MDO cold-mode era, the world cooled, despite the fact that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continued to rise.

Many of the consequences of the recent warm mode were also observed 90 years ago.

Tsonis is not a warming denier, but he does not believe that computer models showing that if CO2 reaches a particular level, then temps and sea levels will rise by a given amount.


This is a very interesting article, with numerous named scientists saying that the warming we experienced was natural, with little attribution to CO2.

Thanks for the tip from reader, David Lemon. If you have not taken a look at David's online Clay to Bronze workshop, complete with fascinating videos of him as he works, you have missed something very special. David is an amazing sculptor, and a really fine videographer, working in Ennis, Montana. Get away from politics for awhile and watch David at work.
Look around at some of his photos and videos of winter in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.This video is on David's website, but I borrowed it because it fits right in with the cooling trends. David begins a trip with temps 10 below and drives past a river with 10' of ice on top. Watch for the little pop-ups describing where he is and what you are seeing. Take a look at a gallery in Jackson Hole, the Tetons...just beautiful and the his music is always incredible.
