The ALCAIDE’S CAFE

  
Climate change has flat-lined for the last decade. The EPA predicts the world will actually get cooler for the next 30 years. More and more scientists are announcing that the Global Warming scenario is NOT supported by the data, or science.
Australia is bailing, no longer convinced there is anything to the Global Warming, bit, especially […]

 
I’m absolutely amazed by all the apocalyptic predictions that countless species will perish as the climates warm up. What happened to adaptation and evolutionary processes? We know that micro-climates and macro-climates are always changing. Always have.
The tribes of Indians living in the temperate paradise of our American Southwest, building the magnificent cliff dwellings were driven […]

As the banishment of gender continues in our culture, one wonders at what else that might hide from our eyes. For example, “same-sex marriage” serves the purposes of numerous allied agendas.
Churches and religion are further marginalized, as one of their basic doctrines and services to their own and the larger population, is eroded. They are […]

Those of you who knew the first life of Alcaide’s Cafe know we were ardent fans of the Hubble. We used its awesome photos frequently. We praised it almost every Sunday in a feature titled “Sunday’s Praise”. We lobbied for this last space shuttle mission (scheduled to launch May 11th) and featured a prominent button linking to the […]

That “Ugly American Syndrome” showed itself again, these past few days, as the “we gotta have our sex” crowd in this country (and a few other parts of the world - mostly the “modern” world) condemned the Pope for his saying that condoms are not the solution to, but part of the problem in the […]

If there’s one constant in American culture and politics that leads our “diplomacy” to nought, vis a vis the Arab and Islamic world, it’s that we blindly (some - remember “The Ugly American” - would say, arrogantly) continue to assume they think exacly like us. That we share most basic values, perceptions, and objectives. They don’t. Their […]

Watching Congress lately reminds me all too much of the stampeding zebras of the movie Madagascar2: thousands of indistinguishable striped asses (scuse moi Francais) would take to flight in a perfect symphony to escape whatever danger, or get safely (under the cover of the horde/herd) to whatever goal they wanted. Sometimes they just did it for fun!
Curious why I am so reminded? […]

KGB or Gestapo? Which would you say best describes the thuggery being exhibited by much of our Congress and Senate, right now, over the bonuses of about 100 AIG executives? Does it frighten you at all that:
1. A Senator suggests these executives commit suicide (for having gotten a $1 million bonus)? Maybe the same standard ought be recommended for […]

“During his address to Congress last week, President Barack Obama declared, ‘We will double this nation’s supply of renewable energy in the next three years.’
While that statement — along with his pledge to impose a ‘cap on carbon pollution’ — drew applause, let’s slow down for a moment and get realistic about this country’s energy […]

Yesterday the “Global Warmists” were protesting a coal-fired plant (providing the biggest share of the electricity they’d need to get warm later) while shivering in an “unseasonably late” snowstorm. Hmmm.
A month or so ago, climatologists with our national weather service said there had been no sign of warmer temperatures for a decade. “Not to worry,” said the Global Warmists, “that’s just […]
