Hey Silverhorner's Welcome to The View From Silverhorn Mountain!
It's a hot day here on the mountain, the sun isn't out exactly but it's waiting to break through the morning fog and when it does, better bath in sunscreen because it's gonna be a scorcher.
Well it seems you can fool a lot of people with counterfeit money, but not strippers and exotic dancers from Smyrna. Tennessee. It seems a lover of the exotic dance arts was producing $100 bills on his computer (you can do that?) and using them to buy lap dances. He has since plead guilty to conterfeiting.
He mighta fooled some people but not the strippers at a club called Deja Vu in Nashville. They became suspicious of the bills and alerted the police who came in and after enjoying the show arrested the guy who had up until his untimely arrest spent $600.
After questioning he admitted that he had downloaded the fake money from the internet and printed 14 bills. He plead guilty to manufacturing and passing conterfeit money.
He'll be sentenced later this fall, rumor has it he won't have any trouble paying the fine.....
Speaking of strippers and apparently we are...in Dallas, home of the Dallas Cowgirls and the televison series Dallas...and other stuff a man stripped naked and tried to grab a weapon from a police officer at a courthouse. Now...ya gotta wonder...what was he thinking?
Someone saw him taking off his clothes on the 11th floor of the court building and called for help. One of the prosecuters, seeing the guy was unarmed...chased him into a stairwell. A police officer happened by and grabbed the guy, (we're not sure where) but during the melee the nude guy placed his hand on the officer's gun....a definite no-no...they get really pissed off when ya do that and so they should....
The guy is now facing charges of trying to take a weapon from a peace officer, apparently it's ok to skamper around the courthouse nude though. There is a moral to this story somewhere...like naked men shouldn't skuffle with guys with guns...

Croc Shoplifter Arrested Exchanging Stolen Shoes
Hey Silverhorners! Welcome back to The View From Silverhorn Mountain! Well, here is one for the "What were ya thinking files"
A woman in Jerusalem was arrested by Israeli police after she stole a pair of shoes and then took them back a couple of hours later to try to exchange them because they didn't fit! Dumb eh? Well, that isn't the worst part...the shoes she stole were...you guessed it...those shoes I love to hate..... Crocs!!
Frequent readers of this um...diatribe...will recall I have commented on these friggin' things before and I'm not a fan....
Apparently she stole the Crocs for her son, took them home, found out they didn't fit and then went back to the store where duh....a security camera had captured her picture, so the clerk called the police...her best defense is probably to plead insanity....
We've got to do something to get these things off the streets and off our feet folks....I was thinking perhaps if everyone bought them up and buried them in our backyards or something, get them off the store shelves so the weak minded folks who are being sucked into buying them are not tempted by the bright colors....maybe we should start a fund to gather up enough money to buy the company and shut it down, or change it from a shoe making company to making rubber mats or tires or something...there has got to be a better way....

NASA Made a BooBoo and Blogger Stephen McIntyre Caught it!
Hey Silverhorners! Welcome to Silverhorn Lodge, hight atop Silverhorn Mountain.
Well it's been awhile, what can I say? Nothing...Marcello, newly restored Chief Silverhorn Lodge Garden Gnome and I have been on hiatus...that's what us big media stars and celebrities say when we are actually on vacation.. It's no wonder our lodge business doesn't make money, the best time of the year for the tourist/lodge business and we close up the Lodge and go on vacation....well...
However, vacation is over and we're back, with a vengenance....
So it's true, bloggers are taking over the world folks, one thing at a time! Now we are catching errors made by none other than NASA...the astronaut folks made a 'boo-boo' and a blogger caught it! And the good folks at NASA are a little red in the face and not just because they have been staring at the sun to long....
It seems the meteorologists from NASA said that 1998 was the warmest year in United States history, but Stephen McIntyre, a blogger from Ontario, Canada had it figured a little differently. It seems NASA made a boo-boo leaving thinking bloggers like Stephen and yours truly wondering how many other "boo-boo's" they have made. Stephen, nobody's fool when it comes to meteorology, said 1934 was the hottest year in U.S. history, not 1998. And guess what, he was RIGHT!!
The 'boo-boo' if it actually was a 'boo-boo' was made by the folks at NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Science (GISS) in New York.
That's not all, Stephen noticed that there have been unexplained increases in the temperature data coming from NASA from 1999 forward to the present. Strange....now it seems that all of NASA's temperatures have been too high since 1999. Huh? Climate change is on the lips of every politician and almost everyone else, including the President of the United States, and the NASA climate change experts are making 'boo-boo's'????
Of course the red faced NASA climate folks, called climatologists, have fixed the error, now showing 1998 as the second hottest year instead of the first. They've also had to concede that five of the ten warmest years on record in the U.S. happened before 1939. Uh-huh...so just what the hell is that about? OK, so we are being told that the earth is melting because of climate change, maybe it is, but now we are finding out that actually we have had temperatures just as hot or hotter over 70 years ago? Not just a 'one of' either, 5 out of 10 years, half, happened years and years ago, and who knows what happened 70 or 80 years before that? No bloody wonder it seems like governments only tell us what they want us to hear...
It's important to note that the above refer to the U.S. and temperatures worldwide still show that 1998 and 2005 are the hottest on record. But....perhaps there are some 'boo-boo's' there too....
NASA's official reason for the mistake is that it was caused by a new data collection system that they started using in 2000....
So now here we go...are they covering something up? Is this just an insignificant little boo-boo or a sign that there maybe some skullduggery afoot in the climate change/global warming story?
It wouldn't be the first time that information to the public was 'adjusted' either on purpose or by a 'boo-boo' but it makes one wonder doesn't it? These folks are NASA, which I think stands for National Aeronautical Space Agency, not folks you would think would make a mistake like this...these are the people who send astronauts to outer space...walking on the moon...or so they would have you believe.....
Well rest easy folks, the bloggers are on it. We are saving the world, one blog at a time, and with bloggers like Stephen McIntyre out there, you are in good hands.
PS, the latest news they (whoever "they" are) is that scientists have found a great big hole in the universe...uh-huh and they are wondering what is out there....un-huh yup...now think about that for a minute, a hole in space....how do you see a hole in space? Don't worry, Marcello, our Chief Investigative Blogger, is on the case...
You can read Stephen's blog at Climate Audit but I gotta warn ya, it's heavy duty stuff...
