1 This post has been nominated for The Sacramento Bee's roundup of regional blogs, which appears Sunday in Forum. As part of an unofficial program, you can help decide which blog posts are included by voting at www.ipsosacto.com/bw. The Sunday newspaper column is limited to less than 800 words. Blog posts included in the column are often cut to fit. No editing is done other than to add ellipses to indicate deleted passages. The blog's main address will appear in The Bee, and the online copy of the article will contain links to the actual blog post. A list of the regional blogs monitored can be reviewed at www.ipsosacto.com/bloglist. If you have questions (or you DON'T want your blog post considered for inclusion in the newspaper column), contact me at ipsosacto.com/contact. John Hughes

2 There continue to be news articles about Global Warming, so I don't see your connection. Only the lowest IQs would think a cold snap might somehow reduce the likelihood of continued GW. But this kind of response is what you were looking for, eh cheri? Any comments on Chirac's latest drive?

3 Looks like you're being setup for failure.

4 It's -15F here today.
