Welcome back Mr President - by Richard... Saturday, December 19, 2009

A major winter storm was moving up the Atlantic Coast on Friday night, with forecasters expecting accumulations of one to two feet of snow in some areas by Saturday night, reports theNew York Times.

Winter storm warnings were in effect from Tennessee and North Carolina to the southern New England states, and the storm was expected to affect Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and other cities. A blizzard warning was in effect for Long Island. The National Weather Service said travel conditions in those areas would be "extremely treacherous" by Saturday morning.


In Washington, Mayor Adrian M. Fenty declared a snow emergency, effective at 7 am. Saturday. "All indications are this will be a major storm — perhaps the biggest we've seen in several years," he said in a news release, "and we are going to throw everything we have at it to keep the District open for business on this busy preholiday weekend."

The pictures above show president Obama's personal jet after his return from the global warming summit in Copenhagen, and the scene at his detached house in Washington DC. Kinda appropriate.

In a world of his own - by Richard...

"Goodbye Africa, goodbye south Asia; goodbye glaciers and sea ice, coral reefs and rainforest. It was nice knowing you. Not that we really cared. The governments which moved so swiftly to save the banks have bickered and filibustered while the biosphere burns."

Moonbat on the outcome of the slugfest. If only he could look outside his little box, he would see this "accord" for what it really is - yet another bank bailout.

One would like to know, though, whether he approves of using "green" development funds to build coal-fired power stations.
