NEW YEARS DIGEST: Well, obviously, I've been away for awhile again.

A well-known cable television channel dragged my ass to Omaha (this is where I stayed; click on the pictures and you'll know that a trucking firm wasn't footing the bill) to film a special on severe weather. Nice to know that since the GoreBal Warming Kept Meteorologists wouldn't touch me with a ten-foot pole, other weather pundits are still interested in hearing what I have to say.

Also, I flew there and back, which isn't especially interesting until you consider that I hadn't been on an airplane since 1983 and once swore that I'd never fly again. Not for any particular reason; just because I didn't much enjoy it. Upon further reflection, that didn't seem to be a real good reason never to fly again. I don't much enjoy paying into the Social Security I'm never going to receive either.

Anyway, here's some stuff I wanted to share with you earlier.

The Czechs' Heads-Up to Hamas: Don't expect Jew-baiting as usual from the new heads of the EU. I especially liked this part:

[Czech Foreign Minister Karel] Schwarzenberg, a staunch ally of Washington, said Hamas had excluded itself from serious political debate due to its rocket attacks on Israel. He also indirectly blamed the group for the growing death toll, saying it put its bases and gun warehouses in densely populated areas.

"Why am I one of the few that have expressed understanding for Israel? ... I am enjoying the luxury of telling the truth," Schwarzenberg said.

The End of White America? That's what an awful lot of white "Americans" (including a plurality if not a majority of those who voted for the Obamessiah) seem to be wishing for, as if our Brand New Bennetton World o' Colo(u)r is going to be some kind of vast improvement.

Hmmmmm. Let's start by taking a good hard look at the Third World. Can't blame that one on Whitey!*

Hmmmmm. And what did Whitey give to America? Little things like, er, indoor plumbing. Modern medicine. Solar power and wind energy!

Hey, but at least in the Brand New Bennetton World o' Colo(u)r we'll still have horrible fake hip-hop and the Disney Channel. Oh, and President-for-Life Obamessiah.

Boy, We Suck as Parents: Study Finds MySpace Teens Obsessed with Sexual Bragging, Violence, Exhibitionism

No excuses. If this sounds like your kid, you need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

With all of that said... Happy New Year!!!

*That was possible in the colonial era, which is why so many academics and their slavering postgrad running dogs can't seem to remember anything else of the history of mankind
