As the saying goes, “May you live in interesting times.”
On Decemeber 31, 1999, who would have thought that…
- …George W. Bush would be elected president…by the Supreme Court?
- …he would then go on to win two terms?
- …the Twin Towers would no longer exist?
- …we would declare war on Afghanistan and Iraq?
- …Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger?
- …blogging would become such a force in politics?
- …a little known Governor from Vermont could excite millions over the internet, raise millions and become an overnight sensation…but would ultimately flame out because he lacked any true organization?
- …the housing markets would completely implode?
- …credit would freeze up?
- …the world economy almost came crashing down? (Well, besides Peter Schiff.)
- …a little known Congressman from Texas could excite millions over the internet, raise millions and become an overnight sensation…but would ultimately flame out because he lacked any true organization?
- …a little known junior Senator from Illinois could excite millions over the internet, raise millions, become an overnight sensation, outmaneuver Bill & Hill to win the Dem nomination and then run against John McCain and win?
- …Sarah Palin?
- …Obama would win North Carolina?
- …we’re still talking about Sarah Palin?
- …Senator Al Franken?
So then…what do the Tens (or whatever we’re calling them) have in store for us?
Some of my predictions…
- The emergence of a true third way fueled by new social organization tools and a serious candidate with gobs of money who can bypass the traditional campaign finance rules. But it won’t happen until 2016. Because the field will be wide open at that point. And his name will be Michael Bloomberg.
- And yes, I do think Obama will get a second term, but it’ll be a nail biter. Romney will be his opponent, with Bobby Jindal riding shotgun.
- Obama’s lack of a supermajority in the Senate or House will be good for his second term and deficit reduction will be a key focus.
- This blog will still be going strong.
What are yours?

No Rise of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Fraction in Past 160 Years, New Research Finds (ScienceDaily, Dec. 31, 2009)
Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not remain in the atmosphere, but is instead absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. In fact, only about 45 percent of emitted carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere. [...]
To assess whether the airborne fraction is indeed increasing, Wolfgang Knorr of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol reanalyzed available atmospheric carbon dioxide and emissions data since 1850 and considers the uncertainties in the data.
In contradiction to some recent studies, he finds that the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide has not increased either during the past 150 years or during the most recent five decades.

The unfortunate thing about living in such a faced paced technological society is the stress that comes along with living life in the fast lane. While there are any number of prescription medications that treat anxiety or depression, many people feel safer to approach those conditions from a natural or holistic perspective. It is felt that those pharmaceutical medications can be either dangerous or addictive or both. Because it is felt that it will be more difficult to treat the side effects than the original diagnosis, a great number of individuals are opting to go natural.
NutraSense is a unique and proprietary blend of 100% natural ingredients, many of which have been used for literally thousands of years to counteract anxiety, depression and mood swings by the Chinese. Most of the ingredients you are probably not familiar with but they can be researched on the internet and each and everyone has been clinically tested for safety as well as efficacy. The ingredients in NutraSense are Albizzia Julibrissin Durazz Flower Extract, Tribulus Terrestris, Nardostachys Chinensis, Angelica Sinensis Root and Cyperus Rotundus Root.
Most of them are blended together for anxiety and depression. Each of them is known to act as a tonic on frayed nerves but Angelica Sinensis Root has a rather appropriate distinction. It is called Dong Quai in Chinese which means ‘return to order.’ What a great ingredient for a compound that is formulated to treat anxiety which often leads to chaos of not only the mind but the soul as well. There are not known to be any contraindications when taking pharmaceutical drugs, but it would always be recommended that you consult your own doctor before taking NutraSense, especially if you are currently on a prescription medication.
