Your instincts were right there - no complaints from me. As for the photo, I think it taken by a neighbour; it's visible on my homepage from which Morano must have downloaded it (yeesh!)<br />So the credit can just be - me.<br /><br />BTW, the barrage of hostile comments is already subsiding. Today I had just one saying how well I would have done as a Grand Inquisitor in the Spanish Inquisition(!) <br />Curiously, I'm just nearing the end of a good historical novel "People of the Book" about the Sarajevo Haggadah, a rare illuminated manuscript of the Jewish text (IRL). The novel speculates on how it might have survived through the book burnings of both the Inquisition and Nazism. Some pretty heavy stuff, for a vacation novel, but author Geraldine Brooks won a Pulitzer and is pretty good at character development and history.<br />Of course, my first reaction to today's cranky email was...<br />"Nooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"Jim Prallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033053570742850619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-8140639447517330052010-06-26T21:16:36.642-07:002010-06-26T21:16:36.642-07:00The ever-repugnant Morano is now featuring the fol...The ever-repugnant Morano is now featuring the following highly relevant climate headline: "Warning Graphic Video: Taiwanese news service recreates Gore massage sex assault allegations in animation -- '100 seconds of pure horror'"King of the Roadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841601144107400103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-34164216667415451602010-06-25T22:13:27.004-07:002010-06-25T22:13:27.004-07:00Morano's (and Inhofe's) original list of 4...Morano's (and Inhofe's) original list of 413 skeptical scientists<br /><br />20 economists<br />49 who are retired<br />44 television weathermen<br />70 scientists with no expertise in climate study<br />84 scientists who are either connected with the oil industry or are paid by it.<br /><br /> Morano, who was involved with the switfboating of Sen John Kerry, and the censoring of scientists at GISS, is not in any position to be making such accusationsRichard Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562319064021702411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-87600688412163328552010-06-25T19:26:50.942-07:002010-06-25T19:26:50.942-07:00Been there and bought the Morano attack t-shirt Mi...Been there and bought the Morano attack t-shirt Michael. The emails you get will be both sad and hilarious at the same time. <br /><br />Trust me there is no need to respond, facts will mean nothing.

I'm sure you will also get assertions that the CRU emails 'prove' that AGW is a hoax; that the Arctic is 'healthy', and that there is no consensus - but if there is, then that 'proves' there is a black-list, censorship and unfairness towards the so-called skeptical gurus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
