I hope these truckers do go on strike and jam their justifiable anger right down the throats of the socialist b*stards who have:

1) jacked up the taxes on diesel to confiscatory levels,
2) egged on the Democrat Trial Lawyer lobby to sue the Trucking industry into high-insurance-rate hell,
3) caused diesel to be turned into lower BTU "green" crap which costs $1/gal MORE than decent power diesel used to cost.

It's time for the working man, who is always the FIRST and MOST affected by socialist fantasies to destroy the US economy, to take back their lives and livelihoods from the crazy Lefties. These truckers are showing some guts in taking it on! Go, Boys, Go!!!

Someday, you may decide to go on a reality-based rant. Let me know when that day will be, so I can mark it on my calendar, ok?

It's a shame that so many of our AGW skeptics are either trolls, people who refuse to take the discussion seriously, or just plain strange. I miss serious people discuss the issue with.

Seriously, 90% of the people on my ignore list are AGW denier shrills.

Actually I'd prefer more AGW skeptics and fewer AGW deniers. The former can stimulate interesting conversation while the latter are just annoying.

That's pretty much what I meant.

That's why I don't read junkscience.com anymore. Whereas quackwatch is careful to stay within science, junkscience just regurgitates any half-assed contradictory statement. It has what could be described as a "high wince factor", like you got when you heard Charleton Heston discussing Stockholm Syndrome. Just shaddup, you're doing your cause more harm than good.

You do know that junkscience.com was an Astroturf enterprise setup by the tobacco industry to counter the second hand smoke science. They thought it would be a little transparent to just go after smoking related science, so they threw in global warming. It is ironic that junkscience's war on science has only progressed on the global warming front.
