Shimkus and the rainbow sign
The man who would like to be chair of the House Energy and Commerce committee thinks that God’s promise to Noah means we don’t have to worry about global warming.
Shimkus thinks that the promise to Noah in Genesis 8 – “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease” – means we don’t have to worry about global warming. Perhaps he should remember the words of the spiritual:
God gave Noah the rainbow sign:
No more water, but the fire next time.
Don’t turn this off half-way; if so, you’ll miss the part about how the planet is “carbon-starved” because there’s less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than there was in the dinosaur age. The scariest aspect of the video: Nobody laughs.

Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.

Wow. Just, wow. A carbon-starved planet, huh?
Just for grins, I checked the MSDS for carbon dioxide. It begins showing toxic effects at around 1%. If Representive Shimkus wants to take us back to the Jurassic, atmospheric CO2 concentrations are going to make us all drowsy. The OSHA limit for healthy adults exposed to CO2 in the course of their work is 0.5% (since I suspect Representative Shimkus probably has some problems with arithmetic, that is 5000 ppm).
Of course, Representative Shimkus would probably like to do away with all of the socialists in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration too.
Just, wow.
Yes, Shimkus is good for a laugh, but who're the alternatives? I doubt Upton can win. We're left with Barton, Stearns, & a few mangy others.
Video link has gone dead. Please update.
The video link has been taken down by You Tube so we are spared the ravings of this idiot.
YouTube took this down because of their policy on "scams and commercially deceptive content." Are they saying that the video is a fake or in some way a deceptive scam? Or are they saying that it's Shimkus's claims that fall into that category?
Asal mula web Judi Poker Online Mengelokkan dipercaya di Dunia.
Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menyelipkan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan mula-mula di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju diantaranya David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti permainan kartu dari Persia yang dibawa oleh As-Nas. Kurang lebih sejahrawan menjelaskan nama produk ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi masih menjadi abu-abu karena tidak dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.
Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe permainan ini, banyak pakar menjelaskan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker mampu menjadi game taruhan yang disenangi beberapa orang dalam Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya pada tahun 1700 an serta 1800 an. Pada saat itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tidak hanya pada trick berspekulasi tetapi sampai ke pikiran di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat tersebut.
Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker paling dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah setengah Mississippi, mereka terkadang bermain cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya putaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan perhitungan taruhan seperi game as-nas.
Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat bila poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yang telah dimainkan lebih daripada 200 tahun.
Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai disematkan lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe yang lain lain seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one mode dan lainnya.
