And Now For The Rest Of The Story

PaddyMac thinks that he is pulling a faster one on us.

He cites on his blog that a Canadian conservationist is talking about how polar bears were able to stay on the ice for two extra weeks to hunt seals. Paddy even included a little quote:
"The cooler-than-usual summer produced thicker ice on Hudson Bay, giving the area's polar bear population several extra days to feed on tasty ringed seals."
But if you go to the actual article and read it, like Paddy hopes you won't, you'll see this as well:

That's resulted in fatter, healthier bears this summer, Hedman said. He added, however, the development is not likely a long-term trend.

"It's probably a blip," Hedman said of the thicker ice and cooler temperatures.

And the paper thinks they will get people to pay to read this drivel on line? Good luck with that.

Here's A Big Word For PaddyMac: Cementencephalous

Cementencphalous: meaning is mind is all mixed up and firmly set, like cement.

Example:
Funny how the same people appalled at suburban spread now seem eager that vacanat[sic] land by a freeway in Wauwatosa not be used for a college. Others now want to leave undeveloped a former dump in St. Francis. You’d think using such urban in-fill sites already surrounded by plentiful parkland would be preferable to making colleges go hunt campus space out past the urban fringe, but I’m not a green, so I’m not up on all the dogma.
Of course, to believe Preview Paddy, one would have to ignore what Dave Reid, The River Otter, and yours truly have been writing for weeks, in which we offer viable and more rewarding sites such as the Park East Corridor, St. Columbia's Hospital, and downtown Milwaukee (multiple sites), to name just a few.

But then again, he's not intellectually honest, so he's not up on all that dogma.

Perhaps if the National Review, the Washington Post and/or Dad29 would link to us, he might have been aware that he was a mistake. Then again, since that appears to be where he does get his information, he probably wouldn't catch on anyway.
