If you have any questions about the accuracy of the Global Warming Claim, click here for some good information.
I do not believe the hype. I believe it is a politically motivated effort to gain more and more control over our economy and our lives.
But, you can read the dissenting opinion and judge for yourself.

Donald Trump crossed the line
I was very disappointed with Donald Trump last night. I thought he allowed Joan Rivers to without cause malign and degrade Annie and her supporters who contributed a whopping $450,000 for charity. That is almost 1/2 million -- raised for charity. He allowed Joan Rivers to call them mafia, and when Annie protested, he said well she didn't really know that they weren't mafia.
If I were a professional poker player, I would be talking to an attorney about a libel suit.
Annie did so much better at raising money and winning the tasks than Joan did. Joan came off to me as even worse than Melissa. Melissa is a crybaby; Joan is a bully.
Annie earned more for charity than anyone ever has on his show -- and the thanks she got is to be maligned. I certainly hope that $450,000 went to HER charity, and not to Joan's.
Annie earned even more than Joan after adding in the $250,000 prize money.
Obviously, professional gamblers are very generous people. At least the ones Annie knows are.
Too bad Annie can't call up Bret Maverick and have him have a talk with the Donald.

The Amazing Race was a little frustrating to watch, but only because Luke and Marge had it in the bag until he got confused over the last two pit stops on the last challenge. I really admire those people being able to do that, and Luke, knowing it was coming, prepared himself. It's just ironic that it was the last 2 that stumped him, as it seems those would have been the easiest to remember. Tammie and Victor certainly deserved the victory, as would any of the couples that were in the final 3. It's been very nice to see Tammy and Victor learn to work together and to see Victor get away from some of that "I'm the big brother, so my way is the right way" attitude. Tammy carried her part in it, so she has a lot to be proud of.
The girls came close, but gosh they were plagued with getting a bad cabbie on almost every leg of this race.

The Biggest Loser coming up Tuesday night. I'd like to see either Tara or Helen win it, but I won't begrudge Mike the victory if he does. I was reading on some boards, and so much criticism of Ron. I only fault Ron for one thing -- when he said he honored his commitment to Kristin's mom when he in fact instructed Mike to vote for Kristin, knowing Kristin would go home. It was the best play for Mike, but I just wish Ron would have admitted it to Kristin's face.

The Finals Are Drawing Near
The Biggest Loser
A big hearty congratulations to Tara, Helen, Mike, and Ron for completing that marathon. Wow! I was especially proud of Ron for keeping on keeping on. He has mastered so much this season, and although he doesn't have much of a chance to win, he has really been a great example.
I was very glad to see TBL show just how hard it is to maintain that positive "can do" attitude when faced with daily challenges. Folks, the hardest part is keeping the weight off. Those of us with weight issues are literally in the same boat with alcoholics -- we are just one proverbial drink away from falling off the wagon. And it's hard to get back on track again.
How many times have we heard these contestants, and ourselves, say "never again," and then 6 months later, or 2 years later, or even 10 years later, we get intot the same destructive mindset. It takes constant vigilance.
I do disagree with Jilian. Yes, some people, once they lose weight, can go back to enjoying some of the "cheat" foods and maintain control. But, most of us can't. And we find out the hard way -- after a 3-day binge has piled on 10-15 lbs.
It was good to see several contestants from previous seasons -- and especially to see that they are still in pretty good shape. Ali and Michelle look fabulous.
I voted to protect Mike because I think Mike has a real chance of winning it. I hope Tara or Helen wins it, because I'm a woman, but I won't be upset if Mike wins.
I just pray that when they went home again, that they were able to setup and maintain good routines so that they feel they did their best -- whether they win or not.
Celebrity Apprentice
My vote is already for Annie. I think Joan has made this season way too personal. I see from the ads that Dennis will be on Annie's team, so that should prove interesting. I was disappointed in Piers saying that Brandy wasn't bright enough. I think she is bright enough, but just not aggressive enough. She sits back too much instead of taking the lead.
The Amazing Race
I have no strong favorites this season - I like all 3 couples that are in the final. I would like to see the girls win, because that would be a first. I would also like to see Marge and her son win, because of his handicap. He's played the game very well, among the best. I would like to see the brother/sister win because I think it's really great to see the way they've learned to work together and enjoy the experience.
Dancing with the Stars
Boy, I sure was shocked to see Lil Kim go home. I thought for sure it would be Ty. I think my favorite right now is Shawn.
