My wife and I have been up all night burning the midnight oil for the last couple of days as we make some significant changes in our web portfolio. So after going to bed when most people were getting up I awoke in the early afternoon to these headlines which, if you weren’t convinced that we are heading for something spectacular in the next couple of years, you should be now:

For all you people who laughed at me for saying we’re entering a new Ice Age – Frost has been reported on Canada’s Prince Edward Island for the first time in modern history.Too bad because the last time there was significant global warming on the planet the Inca Empire was created, according to scientists, through the hyper-productivity of plants in such a climate.

If warming temperatures help build empires, what will cooling temperatures do?

I thought we healed the racial divide? Dozens of Black teens attacked a White family in Ohio during the 4th of July celebrations. They were apparently yelling “This is a Black world!”during the attack:

This comes on the heels of an incident in Philadelphia where a group of Black children from a summer camp were kicked out of a posh swim club:

The tool who runs the club made the outrageously telling statement “There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club.” That tool was, according to Democratic Underground, an Obama supporter who founded the O-Positive Obama Campiagn Blood Drive in Philadelphia. Hot Air has more, and a comment section full of racism.

Thanks for healing that rift Obama!

Speaking of crime the L.A.P.D.’s public database, a handy crime map meant for citizens, omits more than 40% of crimes. It’s almost like they’re hiding something.

Credit delinquencies have hit record highs. True unemployment may be as high as 20% and the stock market looks like a slow draining bathtub with some sucker splashing around in it.

Parts of Britain have pandemic levels of swine flu, a new strain of swine flu is raising alarms in Canada and the government of Argentina is at risk of being toppled because of panic over the virus.

And there are mysterious tremors along the San Andreas fault line.

That’s as far as I got, then I went to stock up on canned goods, inventory my larder and clean my guns.
