Not the Goreacle:

The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Addendum (6/30/10): I wonder how the new villa is going, now that the Goreacle is getting a D-I-V-O-R-C-E?

And what America SHOULD BE ABOUT!

Later Tuesday, we were stunned when volunteers brought in the first of constant deliveries of food, drinks and snacks. Stores and churches and individuals had donated the provisions knowing that we were isolated at the school, miles from even a convenience store. Here, in the midst of their unimaginable sorrow and loss, the people of this tight-knit community reached out to care for strangers. They did not view us as the enemy. They saw us as friends in need.

We were touched, not just by the horrible loss of life, but by the life force of these good, honest, hard-working, charitable, God-fearing and gentle people. Over the days they provided us with insights into their thoughts, lives and grief. They fed us pizza, hamburgers, chicken, spaghetti, hot dogs, sandwiches, ribs, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, cookies, doughnuts, snacks and gave us water, soft drinks and lots of coffee. They sustained and bolstered us with their generosity and benevolence.

A key piece of evidence in climate change science was slammed as “exaggerated” on Wednesday by the UK’s leading statistician, in a vindication of claims that global warming sceptics have been making for years.

Professor David Hand, president of the Royal Statistical Society, said that a graph shaped like an ice hockey stick that has been used to represent the recent rise in global temperatures had been compiled using “inappropriate” methods.

While this article states that cows don’t contribute to global warming and in fact, could help decrease green house gases which have supposedly linked to global warming, it makes me wonder how the fact has been missed by these asinine idiots that study the way cows fart and how that contributes to global warming is a perfect waste of money. Period. In pre-historic times, there were a helluva lot more animals on the face of the earth than now. Why the fuck didn’t all of these pre-historic animals create a completely unlivable environment with all of their farts? Surely to God one of these egg-head scientists have already thought of this? No. Probably not. Common sense is “too common” for them to contemplate.
