1 Robot Readers I received another comment from a robot reader. I am quite the rage. Anyway, he/she/it has its own blog which apparently has Robo-Porn on it. I hasten quickly to view it ( I do not receive many comments...and that is gross understatement.) and there was a very naked HP printer spitting forth a river of paper! I do not know what to make of this fascination of robots with my writing. One must assume that it is a timely warning to incorporate some things that interest real people. 2 Climate Science Envisat Makes First Ever Observation Of Regionally Elevated CO2 From Manmade Emissions "Using data from the SCIAMACHY instrument aboard ESA's Envisat environmental satellite, scientists have for the first time detected regionally elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide - the most important greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming - originating from manmade emissions." http://www.terradaily.com/reports/Envisat_Makes_First_Ever_Observation_Of_Regionally_Elevated_CO2_From_Manmade_Emissions_999.html

In a display of unprecedented ecology-mindedness, the Bush administration has stated its intention to put a warning label on elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide. From now on, you will not be allowed to be subject to the climate changing effects of elevated carbon dioxide without first reading the warning label: Warning: The Surgeon General has determined that living in a world subject to elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide is indeed hazardous to your well-being. 3 IMF and World Bank If what we foppishly call a third-world country, especially one where there is a substantial source of starving people, were to be in a financial spin similar to that in the USA, would the regimens which the IMF and World Bank forced on them be the exact same as Bernanke's rate cuts?
