Further proof of… global cooling?

Reports this weekend are showing that both Los Angeles and Australia are reporting record temperatures: low ones, that is!

Australia had its coldest day in 100 years this weekend, while the City of Angels recorded a temp of 69 degrees in mid-July… one of the coldest on record, with a day from 10 years ago coming closest to being that chilly.

So while Algore fights off sex charges and cries about global warming, it’s pretty clear that the evidence keeps piling up that either there is no consensus anymore, or it was premature at best to claim there is one.

It’s getting cooler of late, folks, not warmer. Global warming theory’s about as useful as broken fitness equipment.

Soliah must stay in prison

A few months ago, it appeared SLA terrorist and faux-hockey mom Kathleen Ann Soliah, referred to in the SLA-loving local liberal press by her fake name, Sara Jane Olson, might have been the beneficiary of a “Get out of jail free” card.

Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cecil, in a rare case of judicial sanity, rejected the arguments of Soliah’s attorneys and said the fashionable terrorist had to return to prison. Despite remaining a fugitive for over 25 years, Soliah was finally tracked down and arrested in 2001 in Minnesota, where she had married, had children and tried to blend anonymously into society as hockey mom Sara Jane Olson.

Despite serving only seven years so far, Soliah tried to take advantage when she was released in error on March 2008, where she remained free for five days before being re-arrested in Los Angeles, where she was hoping to fly back to Minnesota. Her proper release date was calculated to be March 2009, not March 2008.

Soliah was charged with conspiracy to commit murder, possession of explosives, explosion and attempt to ignite an explosive with intent to murder for the crimes she commited while in the SLA in the 1970s. Even with the extra year yet to serve, it’s a small amount of time for someone who had a hand in such violent crimes; she should remain behind bars sweating at the fitness equipment, rather than a year away from freedom, but at least California has decided Soliah is as least one blonde woman they won’t set free after less than a day and a half-hearted crying jag.
