NOAA: Blizzard Rearranges Climate Change Announcement
As D.C. continued to dig out from Snowmageddon and is keeping an eye on another storm system, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was busy making a climate change announcement.
NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, is going to be providing information to individuals and decision-makers through a new NOAA Climate Service office. “More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,” the release says.

HEH!: Mystery Billboard In Wyoming Is Real … Wait, But To Hear Obama and The Democrats You’d Think Bush Was Still President
Bob Collins @ Minnesota Public Radio:
The mystery billboard
It was late at night and I wasn’t sure I’d seen the billboard correctly as I whizzed past it on I-35 in Wyoming last week on the way back from Wrenshall. But an e-mailer confirms I saw what I thought I saw.
It’s beginning to sweep along the Internet, accompanied by various claims that it’s a Photoshop fake. But it’s not. It’s real.
There’s no billboard ownership plate on this particular billboard, making tracing the person who had the cash to post it difficult to find. It’s time to crowdsource this puppy.
Update 11:44 a.m. – An e-mail to Wyoming Mayor Sheldon Anderson yields no further clue:

Khamenei Now Promising A “Stunner” For The West on February 11th
AFP: Iran anniversary ‘punch’ will stun West: Khamenei
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a “punch” that will stun world powers during this week’s 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
“The Iranian nation, with its unity and God’s grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned,” Khamenei, who is also Iran’s commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel.
The country’s top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran’s air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the US-backed shah on February 11, 1979.

Gallup: Democrats Turn More Negative Toward Congress
Overall approval of Congress now 18%, the lowest in over a year
PRINCETON, NJ — Congress’ job approval rating from Americans fell six points in the past month, from 24% to 18% — the lowest reading in more than a year. Nearly 8 in 10 (78%) now disapprove.
This decline in congressional approval is largely explained by a sharp drop in approval among rank-and-file Democrats, from 45% in January to 30% today. The slight changes in approval among Republicans and independents are not statistically significant.
BREAKING: Rep. Murtha Dead at 77
With respect to the John Murtha family on their loss, and to Congressman John Murtha’s service in the Marines and the United States Congress. I disagreed with just about everything the man did and stood for, but I’ll not celebrate his death as the left would celebrate the death of a republican/conservative. Rest in peace, sir. I hope you have all the answers now …
FOX:
Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. John Murtha, the first veteran of the Vietnam war to enter Congress and one of the House’s most powerful lawmakers, died Monday afternoon at Virginia Hospital Center after complications from gallbladder surgery. Murtha was 77.
NOW: The Tebow Super Bowl Ad Promotes Domestic Violence!!!
Pro-Abortion Group Claims Tim Tebow Super Bowl Ad Promotes Domestic Violence
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Unable to gain any tradition by calling the Focus on the Family Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad extremist or over the top, pro-abortion groups today are offering a new dig on the commercial. The president of NOW and other abortion advocates claim the ad promotes domestic violence.
The Super Bowl ad has won praise from pro-life advocates who have hailed its heartwarming storyline and the helpful impact of the ad on the abortion debate over the last several weeks.
The ad features Pam Tebow sharing her story of how Tim Tebow “almost didn’t make it into this world” because of her tough pregnancy.
“AMBUSH”!
Who Dat, indeed: Two nobodies play vital roles in Saints’ Super win
by Peter King @ Sports Illustrated
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — It’s right, it’s fair, it’s just, it’s good, it’s shocking. You were not dreaming (or nightmaring, if you live in Indiana). The Saints have won the Super Bowl.
As the fifth team bus — the one with mostly family and friends of the team — sped from the stadium to the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami for the most raucous of postgame parties, this merry band of Saints partisans sang and chanted and Who-Datted to their heart’s content. On this bus was an eclectic mix, just like New Orleans itself. A couple of seats from the front was the political couple who live in New Orleans, James Carville and Mary Matalin. Behind them sat the 97-year-old archbishop of New Orleans, Philip Hannan, a good friend of owner Tom Benson. In the back was Reggie Bush and his famous-for-being-famous girlfriend, Kim Kardashian. Democratic Party mega-fundraiser Calvin Fayard, a Louisiana attorney, was aboard too.
Time To Pull The Troops Out Of Haiti
Pull U.S. troops out of HaitiRate this story
America’s military relief role is done
It is time to start bringing our troops home from Haiti. The earthquake is over; order is restored; the star-studded benefit songs have been recorded. When the emergency ends and reconstruction begins, the mission should be handed off to other government departments, and the fighting forces should depart.
The U.S. military is the world’s humanitarian cavalry, an emergency force that appears after disaster strikes, bringing food, medicine and hope. American forces have done a splendid job in Haiti, working alongside troops from other countries and those under U.N. command. They have kept the crisis from becoming a much greater catastrophe and given the Haitian government the breathing space it needed to assess the situation and begin reconstruction efforts.
