I Think Too Much

For some time now I’ve been supporting Fred Thompson but in word only.  I haven’t been too excited about any of the candidates and Fred has been sorta my default mode.  But then I saw this video.  I tell you, this guy is the real thing.  I’m full on board now.

In honor of the UN’s Bali conference on global warming, here are a couple of simple questions that I hope that they answer:

1. IF man, particularly the USA, causes global warming and IF man, particularly the USA, can undo global warming by conservation and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere, when and how will we know that we have been successful?
2. IF man has caused global warming and IF man can undo it by conservation and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide being emitted into the atmosphere, then can we also conserve and reduce TOO MUCH thus sending the world into a global ice age?  If yes, how long would it be before we knew that we had conserved and reduced too much?

Unless they can answer these questions I ain’t worrying about global warming.

If you’ve been to any of the Fox6 Blogapaloozas you’ve undoubtedly met Triticale.  He’s one of the most interesting guys you’ll ever meet.  So amazing that one guy has so much diverse knowledge and is able to recall it at the drop of  hat.

Anyway, Patrick from Badger Blogger reports some sad, sad news about Triticale:

“Tom, from the blog triticale – the wheat / rye guy is in need of our thoughts and prayers.

I received an email from his wife and she informed me that Tom is in Intensive Care at St. Joes with “acute leukemia.” If they can stabilize him, he should be able to pull through this, but he is going through a very rough time right now. Here is an excerpt from her email.

Tom is in St. Joe’s ICU with acute leukemia. Wed AM he appeared
fine, he picked me up after work & ran several errands. 7:30 PM Wed
night his legs collapsed. We thought he had a stroke. He was
admitted to St. Joe’’s with a white blood cell count of 300,000
(normal is 8,000). Thursday AM he couldn’t talk, he is currently
heavily, heavily sedated (only being able to move his right thumb
every now & then just to let me know he’s in there somewhere). We
have had some good news, but the bad news is they can’t stabilize his
red blood cells & he’s bleeding in his stomach.

I tell folks that except for the leukemia he’s healthy as a horse –
which is to say, that if they can get him stabilized his strong
constitution will kick in & pull him through.

She is also thinking about stopping in at Drinking Right next Tuesday night, to meet some of the people that he husband talks about, let’s all hope that Tom can join her on that trip soon.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Tom and Deirdre Dee.”

Folks, let’s covenant to pray for this man and see what marvelous works that the Lord will do for us today!
