No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

House hearing on “Global Warming” cancelled

by @ 18:54. Filed under Global "Warming", Politics - National.

(H/T – Drudge)

Quoting the Drudge scoop:

The Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality hearing scheduled for Wednesday, February 14, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. in room 2123 Rayburn House Office Building has been postponed due to inclement weather. The hearing is entitled "Climate Change: Are Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Human Activities Contributing to a Warming of the Planet?"….

DC WEATHER REPORT:

Wednesday: Freezing rain in the morning…then a chance of snow in the afternoon. Ice accumulation of less than one quarter of an inch. Highs in the mid 30s. Northwest winds around 20 mph. Chance of precipitation 80 percent.

Wednesday Night: Partly cloudy. Lows around 18. Northwest winds around 20 mph.

Considering the normal high/low for DC is 44/24, and there currently is a winter storm warning for the DC area, I guess we have our answer.

Time for a comments policy

by @ 17:42. Filed under The Blog.

I really didn’t want to do this, but it’s time to introduce a formal comments and trackbacks/pingbacks policy. For those of you that missed it on the left side of the page, I’ve reposted it here:

I almost always welcome comments, trackbacks and pingbacks here (the times I don’t allow comments here tend to be when I am “promoting” a better conversation elsewhere). That having been said, the massive increase of spam has led me to create a policy.

First off, what somebody says in the comments section, whether through an actual comment, a trackback or a pingback, is his or her responsibility. If you do choose to comment, keep that in mind.

I do log IP addresses of every comment/trackback/pingback, and e-mail addresses of every comment, but since it would take a court order (or an illegal hacking of the server) for that information to leave my server, please don’t falsify them. Your website URI, which is a voluntary disclosure, will be made available for everyone to see.

While I do not, as a matter of policy, edit or remove comments, I do reserve the right to do so at any time and for any reason. I am not the government, and specifically for those that don’t know the first word of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, I am not Congress, so don’t go whining about your free speech rights being violated if I do so. I may or may not tell you why, but spam will be one of he reasons why I remove a comment.

Those that use the trackback/pingback feature of WordPress can expect closer scrutiny as something more than 90% of trackbacks and pingbacks are spam.

I use several tools to help me filter out the copious amounts of spam. They may or may not be 100% accurate and effective. If you do have a legitimate, on-topic comment/trackback/pingback that did get caught as spam, be patient. I don’t monitor this blog 24/7.

Remember, this is my sandbox, and while I generally am a nice guy, I can be very mercurial. If you have a problem with that, you are always free to start your own blog (at least if your government lets you). There are a multitude of blogging solutions out there. Heck, I might even put you on my blogroll, though that is at my sole discretion.
