Scientists in Sweden are reluctant to say that there's any proof that Global Warming (at least on the scale the popular culture believes) is even occurring, let alone that humans are somehow causing it.

And we think our taxes are high ...
Strike that. We know our taxes are high. But not as high as Sweden and Denmark. News today from The Local, Sweden's English-language newspaper, tells that Swede's have finally dropped out of first place in the "Highest Taxes in the World" list. Sweden seems to be proud that their tax burden averages only 47.8 percent! Think of that ... half your paycheck going to be mostly squandered by the government. It boggles the mind.
Oh, here's the story.
Oh, here's the story.

Another venerable institution loses it's luster
It was bad enough when Focus on the Family's Dr. Dobson announced that he's willing to let radical liberals like those supported by moveon.org run our country. My respect for the man and the institution he built has moved down from 100% for the first time ever.
Now, hard on the heels of that shocker comes word that Al Gore is one of the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize. What Gore's work has to do with peace is beyond me. What his work has to do with truth is an even deeper mystery.
The Nobel Peace Prize committee has made some stupid blunders in it's history, but this ranks right down there with the worst.
What is this world coming to?

It just keeps getting better!
A couple of days ago, I posted about an article on the Swedish news website "The Local" about the amount of money Sweden is making from people being fined for peeing in public. Today, although the story has moved off the front page, there's still a link to it. And the caption?
"Public peeing -- a golden shower for state coffers."

There are days ...
There are days when the news reporters outdo themselves. From "The Local", Sweden's news in English:
"So far this year the Swedish state has earned 1.8 million kronor from people caught peeing in public. That's no piddling sum..."
