I may sometimes have my quibbles with Andrew Sullivan, but as he did with the protests in Iran, he and the crew at The Dish is doing an excellent job of covering the current unrest / unraveling occurring in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Rush is on in the background, and he’s ragging on the First Lady’s good nutrition initiatives.

Another Global Warming scare may be biting the dust… or debris:
Researchers have discovered that contrary to popular belief half of the ice flows in the Karakoram range of the mountains are actually growing rather than shrinking.
The discovery adds a new twist to the row over whether global warming is causing the world’s highest mountain range to lose its ice cover.
It further challenges claims made in a 2007 report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that the glaciers would be gone by 2035…
“Our study shows that there is no uniform response of Himalayan glaciers to climate change and highlights the importance of debris cover for understanding glacier retreat, an effect that has so far been neglected in predictions of future water availability or global sea level,” the authors concluded.
Dr Bookhagen said their report had shown “there is no stereotypical Himalayan glacier” in contrast to the UN’s climate change report which, he said, “lumps all Himalayan glaciers together.”
The problem with climate science isn’t so much smug scientists such as James Hansen, Gavin Schmidt or Kevin Trenberth.. they are vigorously defending their work, which all scientist must do. The problem lies with the IPCC, the UN political organization that sets up the manufactured “consensus”, which throws roadblocks against anyone not considered a part of the consensus.
Needless to say…. This Church does not hold any particular appeal to me. I’ll just drive on by, TYVM.
