Yes, it is a strange title for a blog article, but it’s the search term I used on Google to obtain some idea of the magnitude of the noise on the internet pertaining to the hacking of a university’s system and the fallout resulting from the alleged revelation of fraud revealed in e-mails and other documents carved from the material. The so-called and possibly accurate revelations center around e-mails exchanged between scientists “studying” global warming and publishing their findings, which they say, support an anthropological element as the main cause of global warming.
When I conducted my search around 6:00 PM today, I received a return which showed 240,000 entries that pertain to information that contain the words in the “title” of this article. So, whatever else the e-mails and other documents reveal, they show enough interest in the minds of skeptics to call into question the reputation of the authors of the e-mails and the veracity of the constructors of charts, codes and other papers found among the hacked material. Of course, we cannot be sure that the hacked items were not tampered with to change meanings or nuances. We also know that “scientists” the world over have come to the defense of the researchers at East Anglia University and through inference, if not direct mention, researchers in other locations.
I read around two hundred of the comments on one particular website and an article or two about the flap created by the hacking. While I do not have the time and talent to separate the bull butter from the real deal, I do find some of the e-mail contents potentially damaging to the researchers, especially if the content is proven original and not edited or altered in any way. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer in global warming, I’m sure you can find most if not all the content I found, and arrive at the same opinion.
I could copy and post the e-mails, but I prefer to allow the readers to access details from one of the websites and the comments posted there. Here is the link to one of the websites which contain some serious inane comments made by the scientists.
When all of this winds down, as it surely will, we will probably know how much of global warming caused by man can be supported with vetted information and how much of it has been skewed to fit a particular sermon.

Yes, ACORN again. This is getting to be truly unbelievable. Someone, commented that they (ACORN and some of its employees) are offering their help and are not personally benefiting. The commenter goes on to say, in essence, that sort of action is the true mark of a cult:
The amazing thing is how, aside from the satisfaction of tearing down th eUS, the indviduals don’t personally benefit.
That’s the hallmark of a serious cult.
I used to believe that the activity displayed by ACORN and its employees in these video events must have a stopping point; now it appears the actors change but the action is the same … just part of a different episode.

Just when we think we have seen everything, the New York Times (NYT) surprises us with new and outrageous effrontery to suggest that the NYT be on a student required reading list. And, they intend to reward any professor with his or her (the professor’s) very own subscription for playing along with their circulation scheme.
Perhaps the NYT should promote for circulation through a fiction writing course. That, or stop their habit of slanting the news to support their views. It sometimes seems that every story in their newspaper is an editorial. It appears that the folks at NYT believe that wrong ideas eventually become so numerous that they conceal the right ideas.
Here’s the take from TIMESWATCH. Who else? At least one professor takes exception to the suggestion that he could be a toady for a rag.
NYT Wants to Make Reading NYT a Requirement for College Students.

Hello Everyone-
I hope this e-mail finds you all happy and healthy. Several of us have be given the opportunity to bring a food pantry to Edgewood. Roadrunner Food Bank is providing the food and we will distribute it on November 23rd from 5:00-7:00 pm to anyone needing help. I’ve attached the flier. If you know of anyone that might benefit from this program, please let them know. I’m also asking for help passing the flier out or distributing it to businesses or churches. I won’t be able to hit every church or business and I know they will be a valuable resource in reaching families that can benefit from the pantry. This month, we will have enough food to feed 100 families.
A little bit about the program:
We are paying a shared maintenance fee of $.05 a pound for the food.
$125 will buy 2500 pounds of food, allowing 50 families to receive 50 pounds of food each.
There are no income restraints-anyone needing the food is welcome.
All donations will go back into buying food from Roadrunner Food Bank.
Results from last month:
97 families were served.
There were 375 people in those 97 households.
Thank you to our sponsors- Valley View Christian Church, Employees of Rich Ford-Edgewood and Sandia Labs Federal Credit Union.
We also had 40+ volunteers-the pantry wouldn’t have been successful without their help.
NM American Water, State Farm, Mountain View Telegraph, Code Plus, the McDuffey family, and the Griego family are the gracious sponsors this month and Valley View Church has once again offered their space for the event.
In the six months this pantry has been operational, 2451 people in 663 households have been recipients of food from Roadrunner. Thank you for all of your support, we couldn’t operate without help and donations from others.
If anyone is interested in helping by either volunteering their time or sponsoring the event, please contact me. My phone number is 281-5364.
Have a wonderful week and thank you for your help,
Robin Prudencio

Officially, Veterans Day was last week, but in my mind, every day should be a day for veterans. With that in mind, I am posting links to various benefits New Mexico veterans can seek.

The Los Angeles Times (LAT) carried a short story yesterday focusing on another video from James O’Keeth and Hannah Giles where they video taped another acorn facility and at least one of its employees.
BigGovernment.com carried the same story with a video of the visit along with a written narrative by Mr. O’Keefe. Mr. O’Keefe pointed out that although the employee did not throw them out of the facility, he also didn’t seem to mind that they were in the prostitution business. That is, until O’Keeth mentioned that the prostitutes were underage. The employee said that ACORN does not do anything outside the law and he would not help them for the underage prostitution scheme.
In his written narrative O’Keeth seems to praise the employee, but I believe it was faint praise and a set-up for what will be more revealing video. In the meantime, access the video with the link above and wait to see what if anything follows.
