| Total Vancouver homer here so... LA is scary. They were looking like they were getting it together towards the end, and they've got latent talent if it springs to life. Plus there's that damned goaltender. Quick is going to give us fits. The boys will find a way though. Then we go on. Here's hoping ... |

And yet here it is, 3-0 Vancouver with 2 minutes left to go.  |

| Hope they can play the next two periods like they did this one, then go on to do the same to Nashville, then guaranteed they're playing Detroit for #1 in the league. That would be a good game. |

| It would be so nice to have your certainty. Life would be so much simpler. There ya go...now you're starting to get it. Try that one. "Oh, I never actually thought the apocalypse was coming from global warming. I just wasn't sure is all." Way to paddle Andy. Why go down with those other i... |

| See these guys realize what their silly camp-followers don't. Two or three solid years of cooling right now, and you're going to start to see graphs of a 15 year falling temperature trend. We had one cooling year, and it's starting to look like an even cooler one is coming. If the arctic ice refuses... |

| Weaver's only real claim to fame is as an IPCC computer modeler. I'm going to start to call him GIGO (garbage in, garbage out). OK, so he's realized oil-fueled CAGW is starting to fall apart, and he's retreating to the Hansen-endorsed, "it's all about the coal now", defense. Still not impr... |

| I'm tempted to call "bullsh*t as usual on this bit... Weaver began action against Ball for saying the sort of thing you say. Ball had to publicly apologise and Weaver, accordingly, withdrew . but it's possible I missed the end of that one. Yes Weaver is litigious. This is well known. On April 2... |

| He's a university professor. His work is peer reviewed. You're an internet climate change denier. Who's more credible? Away with you. Andrew Weaver is a professor at UVic who'd be known for the sum total of nothing if he couldn't be relied on to make scary statements of a boiling world for the even... |

| So fucking what? If the guy was a dentist and won the Peace prize, would that make him less of a dentist? Nintendo scientists? What an ignorant comment. You have a beef with him because he accepts local media requests to comment on the topic that he is a WORLD RENOWNED EXPERT in? Get back to me whe... |

| Andrew Weaver is a Nobel Laureate: [ (not according to the committee secretary to the Nobel committee he's not)] Canada's preeminent climate scientist [(if such a thing exists, and if you find anybody who would make such a claim believable)] . He is the author of books on climate change, too [(so i... |

| I'm not overly impressed with Weaver's Nobel prize. It wasn't even for science. It was a peace prize. That was the one the IPCC won with Al Gore. Tell me Al Gore is a nobel peace prize winner. See how impressed I am. It was a peace prize. Yasser Arafat won a peace prize. Obama won a freakin peace pr... |

| Not to bad so far though. No noticeable referee bias, and the play by play guy is surprising me by finally learning the names of the Canuck players. That used to piss me off with CBC broadcasts. It would be five minutes before they mentioned the name of a Canucks player, and Vancouver could be up 6-... |

| Can you see the Hell's Angels voting NDP? In Vancouver, you mean? We're still talking about the science meeting in Vancouver, right? I think maybe, yeah. Wasn't the last NDP premier caught sneaking casino licenses to his buddies, or something. It's been awhile, but wasn't graft a problem for the ND... |

| What a crock. An elderly woman was pepper-sprayed in the face; the scene of unresisting, I saw her on Olberman the following day - cheerful and joking. She was a lifelong activist who claimed to have just stumbled across the scene, but somehow had stumbled up to the front of the barricades. What abo... |
