Why should you jump at the just under 2 min available for Jan?

As a few of my business advertising with me are seasonal I’m going to have about 2 minutes or so of advertising time available for the month of January.

Of course you might want to jump at the chance to advertise because of the 50,000 Watt range, or because of the guarantee of the current pricing if you reserve now, or maybe even because you KNOW a bloggers show of this kind is a great place to increase your numbers or perhaps you just want to have a reserved place before we go to two hours and the show takes off even more than it already has, particularly with CPAC coming up or perchance you held off but you know once I start going door to door again this week that time is going to fly or maybe you would hit the Tip Jar anyway and just want to get something for it.

But if you want to know the best reason why you should buy for the month of January, it comes in 5 parts:

Jan 1st Barbara Espinosa of American Freedom and KFNX Arizona
Jan 8th Val Prieto of Babalu Blog
Jan 15th The blogfather himself Glenn Reynolds
Jan 22nd Little Miss Attila
Jan 29th Fisherville Mike

I suspect this lineup might just draw a few hits to your site and your business don’t you?

Now if you know me you know that short of a state declared disaster I’m going to be door to door to Massachusetts business selling this two minutes or so (and the additional time for February) to anyone and everyone ready to buy it this week. Why let someone else have it?

For UNDER $250 you can have a full minute on each of these show divided up as either a 1 minute ad, two 30 second ads, four 15 second ads or any combination that adds up to the minute. In fact for under $450 you can have the minute for both January AND February.

And even if you are a smaller blogger with a limited budget I’ve got deals for you. For less than $160 thirty seconds on each of those shows is yours, and for under $285 you can have those 30 seconds in January and February and if your budget is really tight and 15 seconds are all you can afford, have no fear; $162 puts you in January and February and only $90 guarantees you a spot in ALL 5 January shows!

Where else are you going to get 50,000 watts of pure AM power a nationwide online draw AND a blogger lineup like this for these prices?

And if the time is already gone by the time you contact me, you can still get on the waiting list for February and reserve time at the January prices.

So don’t tarry, e-mail me at DaTechGuy AT Comcast Dot Net and become a part of 50,000 watts of True Talk!

As the sun beings to rise on a day when the current (6:50 a.m.) wind chill of 10 degrees is the warmest we see for a bit.

We see that the religion of Global Warming oops sorry Climate Change is still the religion of choice for our friends of the left (much better than that Christian stuff with actual rules on how to treat people) and we have a flock of stories on the subject Lets Start with Don Surber who comments on this post at the NYT blog concerning Global warming being actually worse than what we think:

This tells me two things.

1. The global warming crowd are now hiding behind the euphemism “climate change” because the post is about a rise in temperature.

2. Obviously the global warming side is not winning even with the media dominated by so many True Believers in this crackpot theory.

I have a problem with people who mock balanced coverage. That is supposed to be the goal of journalism. Journalists are supposed to inform not educate.

The other problem is framing this as a debate on how high the temperature will rise. There are those scientists who fear a return to global cooling as we feared would happen in the 1970s. The sudden drop in sunspots in the summer of 2007 could portend a return to pre-1850 temperatures.

Don Don Don this is a religion, it has nothing to do with what is actually going on.

Ed Driscoll at PJM continues pointing to the coverage and makes a prediction:

We reviewed a number of those headlines then and now, in our “Hide the Decline” edition of Silicon Graffiti last year. Tune in here if you missed it.

And speaking of movies, as I mentioned back in March, a lot of Hollywood’s recent global warming doomfests are going to be remembered as updated versions of Reefer Madness to the next generation of movie fans. Today’s global warming fear-mongering is tomorrow’s late-night camp TV.

The irony of course is today as the east coast is hit by a blizzard and Atlanta has wind chills in the 20’s Morning Joe replays an interview with James Cameron talking all Global warming and how we must act.

He quotes this post by Stacy that says in part:

The problem, of course, is that Science keeps running head-on into those stubborn little things called “facts.” Despite all these “Trust Us We’re Scientists” arguments, people still refuse to believe that global warming causes record snowfall:

With the East Coast gripped by bitter cold, Paris paralyzed by snow and a headline in the UK’s Daily Express exclaiming, “Britain is Freezing to Death,” global warming alarmists will again have to fall back on their “climate change” sleight of hand to explain away the cold.

That’s just one of the “Top 10 Bad Developments for Global Warming Alarmists.”

Mind you that post was written on DEC 22nd 5 days before the events of today.

Meanwhile the latest from the left wing Guardian was just too much for Ann Althouse:

When everything is evidence of the thing you want to believe, it might be time to stop pretending you’re all about science.

Unaware? I don’t think “unaware” enters into it considering the e-mails, Don Surber again:

I worked for a while on a dairy farm. My job was to push the brown stuff outside.

Hey Cohen isn’t a weather expert; he’s a dairy farm worker.

Blizzards across the northern hemisphere and a white Christmas in Australia do not disprove global warming. The lies from the researchers, as disclosed in Climategate, already did that.

Forgetting the arrogance of us determining what the proper “climate” is supposed to be we can bottom line
Global warming/Climate Change with two goals:

Goal 1: To advance a collectivist agenda by redistributing wealth from those who produce (ie da West).

Goal 2: To allow the elites to once again act as feudal lords using tax payer funds to support themselves while taking the odd jet to comfortable locations around the globe where they can eat the finest foods, drink the finest liquors and enjoy comfortable companionship while proclaiming to the world their moral superiority while urging you to shut off that extra light to save the world.

The only green thing about Global Warming and Climate change is the cash that will be extorted from you.

Another non shocking headline to those paying attention: Dem congressional corruption

But don’t just take RS McCain’s word for it, check out that fantastically conservative publication the Washington Post

Senators collected $469,000 from the financial industry the day before, the day of and the day after that key Sept. 16 vote, a Post review of donations shows. The biggest recipient was Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), who shepherded the legislation and faced a tight reelection race.

The article only focus is on fairly new stuff but the best line from it is this response from Harry Reid’s spokesman:

Reid spokesman Zac Petkanas said the timing was not of Reid’s making. The vote was supposed to come months earlier but was delayed by Republican obstruction, Petkanas said.

Oh the timing wasn’t of Reid’s making. After all he is only the Senate Majority Leader.

Of course now that the election is long over this stuff can safely be reported. May I suggest to incoming republicans that the media are not likely to show such deference in timing for them. So do the right thing, it is usually the smart thing too.
