When pigs fly and pigs fly and pigs fly and pigs fly

  Pigford update: in this video, a black attorney admits that the USDA did not keep records and that at least 10% of the people who filed claims were frauds. Big Government has more. Watch it here:

  Read about the cold and snow in Europe? It's so bad, travel has been stopped, particularly in England. But remember this? In 2000, The Independent declared "Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past." Here's a taste:

However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of EastAnglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".

"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

The effects of snow-free winter in Britain are already becoming apparent. This year, for the first time ever, Hamleys, Britain's biggest toyshop, had no sledges on display in its Regent Street store. "It was a bit of a first," a spokesperson said.

  Here's the reality.

• Forecasters warned that parts of Britain could see record low temperatures this week of -26C (-15F). Heathrow will experience lows of about -9C (16F) tonight and further snowfall is expected in the South East during the evening rush hour. [SNIP]

• Commuters were warned to expect treacherous conditions with thick ice and freezing fog today. Train passengers also face delays and cancellations, particularly in the North. Eurostar services between London and Paris have also been affected.

  So now, of course, we'll have to go back to the "climate change" meme because of the inconvenient cooling. We'll see how everyone adapts.

  Meanwhile even Cuba is admitting communism, or whatever brand of monstrosity government Raul is running down there, doesn't work. They're running out of money and laying off 500,000 people, just like all the other anti-capitalist countries that try to make workers dependent on the government teat, even while treating an upper class to the bennies that the commoners don't have access to. AP.

  Speaking of Cuba, don't you think it's funny that Michael Moore is whining that Wikileaks revealed that his ridiculous film "Sicko," which everyone knew was a fraud, was banned in Cuba because even they knew it was a fraud?

  Speaking of whining, don't you think it's funny that Julian Assange is whining that the judge in his case revealed his current address and someone else leaked the details of the sex charges against him, which look a lot worse than we were led to believe? And, say, that's tricky that a third female has emerged to claim Assange is a pretty nasty chauvinist and even a person who assaults others in violent acts? The article is over at the Daily Mail but, be warned, there's a pretty unpleasant photo of Mr. Assange, complete with a yellow teeth smile that doesn't really go very far.

  And, hey, weren't we supposed to believe that the right wingers are the ones who want to regulate everything? Who'll be after you in a police state? Like the sweet hearted liberals are the sad oppressed creative folks painting Vs on subway walls in desperation to escape the narrow mindedness of the right wingers? Yeah, well, try the opposite, for having a pro second amendment bumper sticker on your car.

  But that won't be any surprise to the Washington Post, who's somehow surprised to learn that the government is building quite a network of spies to make sure that guy driving the truck with the 2nd amendment bumper sticker isn't planning to do something bad, like maybe add a NOBAMA bumper sticker to complement the other one.

  And in the event you're not depressed enough yet, what with the Christmas spirit and all, check out Coburn's report on the government's most wasteful spending, paying special attention to the Ohio monkey house, about which there is argument on the cost. Did we spend $175 million or $34 million? Neither, of course, represent real money so, meh, don't worry about it. Nobody cares anyway.

  So have good holiday cheer, mateys. January 4 is on the way. 

  And not soon enough.
