<p>You see, I&#8217;m a veteran of many battles against Wikipedia and its exclusionary nature, so I decided that I&#8217;d help out the Protomen by archiving the ongoing battle raging against the forces of evil. Keep an eye out for more updates to come. I&#8217;m going to start by archiving the deletion reviews, debates, etc. so that we can have accountability against them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve actually done one, but I&#8217;ve been fervently working towards the semester from hell, and I&#8217;m burned out and horribly fatigued from just trying to survive it. Exams are coming up and everyone is stressed out, so it&#8217;s the perfect time for a BladenCast.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t planned on exactly when we&#8217;re going to do it, but it&#8217;ll be coming up soon. If you want to ask questions and have them answered in the cast, shoot an e-mail to <a href="http://www.bladenforce.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/bladencastemail.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-211" title="BladenCast e-mail image" src="http://www.bladenforce.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/bladencastemail.png" alt="" width="170" height="14" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.news.com/8301-10789_3-9917113-57.html" target="_blank">http://www.news.com/8301-10789_3-9917113-57.html</a></p>
<p>I laughed out loud in real life when I read that Gore was trying to update the speech he gave in &#8220;An Inconvinent Truth&#8221;. (More like An Incontinent Truth am I right?)</p>
<p>Anyway, this was more or less the exact same as his speech in the movie, except now his predictions have become even more dire in an attempt to spook the average person into believing the lie. As I talked about previously, Gore has dumped a lot of money into a campaign to fight against the scientific truth, because it&#8217;s<em> inconvinent</em> for him. Evidence suggests that the sun is largely to blame for increasing global temperatures, and when the global average dropped this year due to the incredibly cold winter, the global warming cultists changed their mantra to &#8220;climate change&#8221;, encompassing both the theories of global warming and cooling into an amalgamation of pure stupidity.</p>
<p>Of course, Gore has been very vocal about critics of &#8220;global climate change&#8221;. He likens them to Holocaust deniers, the nutballs that think the Moon landing was staged, and people that believed the Earth was flat. The irony here is that the science is not on his side. Where does he get his scientific evidence from? A few niche scientists whose government grants rely on the theory of global warming to be true. The truth is that the vast majority of scientists believe global warming to be a huge farce, but their speech is ridiculed, they are belittled as corporate shills, and are claimed to be a crazy minority. Similar to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_redefinition_of_planet" target="_blank">Pluto fiasco</a>, you have a few scientists determining the science of the many. &#8220;Science is thusly because we say so.&#8221;</p>
<p>The part I found the most hilarious however, was that Gore was using an age-old tactic employed by liberals in speeches when they want to make themselves look like the <em>defenders of the truth</em>. They throw a few people designated as nay-sayers or deniers and make them say crazy, completely off-the-wall things in order to make it look like everyone who disagrees is crazy, then the speaker <em>valiantly</em> continues his or her speech, unperturbed by the raucous <em>dissidents</em> that seek to <em>silence</em> them. This is the scenario that they hope to conjure in the minds of the listeners.</p>
<p>While Gore&#8217;s off talking about how the world is going to be combusting, I&#8217;m finally enjoying the brief amount of warmth we&#8217;re actually getting, before we are plunged right back into the 50&#8217;s and 40&#8217;s again until summer proper.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I tried to submit my file right? But I was a fraction of a second late and got bounced out of it, that&#8217;s when I freaked out, went into panic mode, had a bajillion panic attacks and it took my dad a good solid two hours to talk me out of it.</p>
<p>Now for the hard part: tomorrow I have to convince my professor to still accept my assignment based on the fact that I thought it was due at 11:59:59pm and not at 11:59:00pm, and still managed to submit it right on the cusp of said time.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just not used to epic fail. I can&#8217;t deal with failure due to being such a perfectionist. I&#8217;m going to try to get some sleep now.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: Solved the problem. I told him I submitted it a fraction of a second late, and he said it was alright.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am now fully convinced that I will <strong>never ever have a meaningful relationship ever again</strong> and that any attempts to even get into a relationship (even a bad one with a girl I don&#8217;t like) will result in a friend of mine immediately feeling the burning desire to get with (by which I mean fuck the brains out of) the girl I am interested in.</p>
<p>Some friends I have. No Gene, this isn&#8217;t about you. I&#8217;m cool with that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve got an article here from the AP that ticked me off:</p>
<p><a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g1NSVl42wauRJ-ZTwUD5AoC05FoQD8VOIFJO0">&#8220;Gore Announces Global Warming Effort&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Newt Gingrich is a traitor to the conservative moment. Global warming is a farce, and because it was too obvious a farce, they had to change the name to &#8220;global climate change&#8221; to anticipate when global warming ends and global cooling begins. I remember when they used to call them SUMMER AND WINTER.</p>
<p>Global warming has become a doomsday cult, with Al Gore as the High Priest. They indoctrinate children by mandating that they watch it in schools, but now they&#8217;re not satisfied with that. They have to toss more money into furthering the lie and throwing fear-mongering commercials during American Idol and other popular TV shows. As Mason once said they&#8217;re going to <i>&#8220;Keep it up until the drones submit.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>There are countless scientists that have already disproven this several times, but you have a lot of scientists who get their paycheck solely on the fact that global warming supposedly exists. They wish to perpetuate the faulty science that attempts to support it in order to keep their research grants. There&#8217;s a plethora of evidence suggesting that global warming is a farce, such as the parts-per-million issue, the drop in average global temperature by an entire degree just this winter alone, the issues of corruption in funding, the questionable locations of several monitoring stations, the link between solar output and average global temperature, and &#8220;Carbon Credits&#8221;, which is just one gigantic ponzi scheme that they hope to use your money to perpetuate (IE: A new tax.)</p>
