Seeded on Thu Nov 8, 2007 8:21 AM EST (icecap.us)
In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling.

Londonistan Calling The London neighborhood of the author's youth, Finsbury Park, is now one of the breeding grounds for a new phenomenon: the British jihadist. How did a nation move from cricket and fish-and-chips to burkas and shoe-bombers in a single generation?

Epiphany Sorbet is a leader among leaders on newsvine providing to us all a strong and refreshing conservative voice that I always look forward to reading.

Epiph, I just saw your picture on the back of a frosted mini-wheats box. If I save enough symbols I can get a Shrek stocking cap.
epipany sorbet looks like one of those women who unfortunately use interesting academic sites just to attract men. perhaps something more like adult/facebook is more suited to you ES.
— janina
ES, the more comments, articles and seeds of yours that I read the more I enjoy them!
— DAWeb
Let's see. I agree with Brenda, Tim, Worldview, kylew, pasi, Bozzor and lowliestpeon.
As for 'roads--I'm not sure about the hat.
Newsvine without E.S. would be like a day without sunshine, like pancakes without syrup, like the NY times without...wait..it would be just like the NY Times! I've got nothing but admiration for her.
No cat ever did more for thigh high stompers: common sense with a dash of style never looked better, especially with the blood of certain liberal Democrats on the tip of her fencing blade...;-)
— Bozzor
Man, I really like that hat. What'd you give for that hat? I can say I'd like to see a Cat in The Hat hat on that cat.
"Eternity for Atheists", what a great read! I enjoy reading your comments and work very much.
— kylew
Hey, Epi, I enjoy reading you so much I've tagged you. See my article, 8 Random Facts About Me. Follow the rules!
Some people make over-achievers look lazy, that would be Epi. Not afraid to speak her mind, not afraid to deal with tough subjects, and certainly not afraid to have fun.
I always thoroughly enjoy reading Epiphany Sorbet. As a passionate, unapologetic conservative Epiphany also expresses a large amount of common sense. Bravo!
