"Global Warming"
Despite the fact that the latest polls indicate that 82% of those randomly polled felt that "Global Warming" was based on unreliable data, commonly referred to "B.S.". Despite the fact that 73% of the the scientific community feels that the data pertaining to "Global Warming" was misrepresented or manufactured, commonly referred to as "Double B.S.". Despite the fact that the Nobel Committee selected Egore (a.k.a. Al Gore) to receive the Nobel Prize for his discovery of Global Warming. The only thing that he did discover was a way to increase his annual earning from $3,000,000 to $93,000,000.
With that being said and done, I will go on record to support the theory of Global Warming. Not with data that can be easily mistaken in the interpretation but with pictorial fact. Currently, we are seeing record snow accumulation in Alaska. The "warm air" masses moving over the northern region and hitting the colder temperatures of the Arctic is creating these heavy snow storms.
Near my home a few days ago, this cow moose had to be rescued from the deep snow. On her annual trek from the high country to lower elevations, she was trapped in the deep snow. Immobile, they brought in snow mobiles to pack the snow down to allow her a walkway. They then moved the snow away from her so she could gain access to the "man made" trails. She was lucky, how many moose do we have to loose before we taken Global Warming seriously?

EAGLE VIEWING
Prior to reading this short article, I would recommend that you go to this link American Bald Eagle or scroll down to January 22, 2010 on this site for the article. Your next assignment, would be to click on this link, Homer News and read the lead in, front page article that appeared in the January 28th edition. Pertaining to the viewing opportunities and the feeding of the eagles. I have several pictures of the scene shown below, I have not published them in the past due to their graphic and disturbing nature. This picture was taken on the Homer Spit. Can you count the number of Eagles not being fed on the Homer Spit?
POLITICAL NEWS
This morning, while taking my morning coffee and staying informed on current events by watching the morning news, I was shocked by one particular news item. As you are aware, if you keep up with current events, our United States Attorney General announced several weeks ago that five terrorists would be tried in the civil courts in New York City. One of those being tried, with all rights granted to a U.S. Citizen is the mastermind behind the attack on 9/11.
It is assumed that his decision was approved by President Obama, at least it should have been. Upon the announcement of this decision an uproar occurred nation wide. However, only in the recent hours has this uproar reached a level that the White House can hear it. The Mayor of New York City, Governor of New York, and a number of leading Democrats are now insisting that no trials be conducted in New York City. There is also a movement to convince the White House to reverse their decision and try the five terrorists under the authority of a Military Tribunal instead of our Civil Courts. Remember, these are enemy, combatant, terrorists. They have no "civil rights" in accordance with our Constitution.
I want to see them remain in Guantanamo Bay and tried by a Military Tribunal. The one item that caught my attention on the news this morning is the budget that President Obama will be presenting to Congress for approval. In this budget, is a single line item requesting $200,000,000 (Two Hundred Million Dollars) for the trial and appeal process for the five terrorists in civil court.
I can guarantee a Military Tribunal is less expensive, the judge, jury, and lawyers are all government (military) employees on a fixed annual salary, security measures are in place in Guantanamo, and the secret documentation that our intelligence services have would not be made public. Cost of this trial, less than $200.00 if we buy new ropes to hang them with.
If the terrorist are to be tried in Civil Court, then let Osama Binnie Laden step forward, post their bail, pay for the lawyers, and provide them security.
If it was good enough for Remus Reid, Great, Great Grandfather to Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) then it is good enough for any and all terrorists that we capture. It is the only fair way to handle the situation, one that a terrorist can appreciate.
