I've always been skeptical that "the power of positive thinking" was little more than bullshit. This article on Alternet pretty much confirms it.
BTW - the Archdruid is back and has been doing a series of interesting articles. This one on the influence of Mexico in the southwest is worth a read.

Mini In The Box
Don't buy anything from this online store.
I really wanted some LED lights to replace the bulbs in my bathroom, and since they're rather expensive, I searched the internet for a good deal. I found one, from Mini In The Box.
Silly me - bulbs from overseas DON'T WORK IN AMERICA.
Lesson learned. Save youself the trouble and don't order anything from Miniinthebox.com.

It's getting hot in here
Meteorologists in Missouri have already determined that 2012 has been the hottest year on record for much of the state. This, as I crack the window on Dec. 1, is somewhat disturbing. We don't even have to wait until the end of year for evidence our planet is warming.
Other reports this week state that polar ice is melting faster than previously expected. On the heels of multiple natural disasters this year, you'd think we'd start paying attention.
There is little doubt that burning fossil fuels and pumping carbon into the atmosphere is acerbating this condition. Yet, many politicians think we still need MORE fossil fuels to keep the party going.
I think it's time to put on our big boy pants and start looking for a way out of this mess. As much as I enjoy wearing short sleeves in December, I'd also like my children to have a planet to call home.
