The average temperatures of the first half of 2006 were the highest ever recorded for the continental United States, scientists announced today.

Temperatures for January through June were 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average.

Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri experienced record warmth for the period, while no state experienced cooler-than-average temperatures, reported scientists from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.

Scientists have previously said that 2005 was the warmest year on record for the entire globe.

Last month the United States experienced the second warmest June since weather record keeping began in 1895.

This warming coupled with less than average precipitation caused moderate to extreme droughts in almost 45 percent of the contiguous United States. However, some areas, such as the Northeast of the country experienced record rainfalls and severe floods.

WELCOME BACK JANEANE!!!

YEA Janeane!

The bitch is BACK!

Hey....cool Janeane. I did a grand jury for two months two years ago.

Welcome back mommy! make me feel GOOOD!!

Is that really Janeane?

Now what about this whole scientology thing.....

(just kidding. Let's not go there again)

You go girl.

RW...could you email me something real quick so that I can get your email?

Yay! Janeane is finally back! Hopefully Sam can zip it long enough for Janeane to get some air time. It's fatiguing listening to Sam's screechy monologues. The show needs more humor and levity! I do love Sam, but he makes me chaffe.

retrospective ?

Here's a good clip....

JG's chin looks pretty good...

G'evenin', gang!

My Hottie & Sammer back together.

The universe is now in synch! : )

Ahhhh. Push out that chest Janeane.

I sympathise with Janeane here...when things get so monotonous, my brain shuts down entirely...

I start doing math problems to pass the time...

Welcome back JG!! Missed you!!

I'M SOOOOOOOOOO GLAD JANEANE IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope she'll be on air more regularly.............she and Sam look great in the photo............

Damn I've missed Janeane...

The Grand Jury story was actually true! Far out...

I, like all cynics, had my doubts...

It never happens when I listen to this show...

cough

I had the same experience with grand jury, Janeane. We indicted poor people for far less that what Rush Limbaugh did. And then, they went to trial, and then to jail.

Janeane auditioned at grand jury duty...priceless.

Excerpt -

"Once the substance was deemed nonthreatening, Mr. Browne said the entire episode appeared to be a hoax, noting the juxtaposition of a defaced editorial in an envelope with corn starch

Separately, someone had called the police earlier in the day to report concerns about a white substance found in a letter delivered to an address in the midtown Manhattan area, Mr. Browne said. But that substance turned out to be cocaine, he said."

Janeane, I love you!

Thanks for showing that little bit of cleavage!

I, like all cynics, had my doubts...

I still do...but I'm glad she's back and in a fresh frame of mind.

Wow, those necklaces leave me speechless...tell me again about art, GG.

Gawd you liberals are so out of touch. Sam n Janeanne laff it up in their hippie hommade jewelry while the opening salvos of WW3 are lighitng up the skies of Lebanon.

I saw a woman on the 6 train yesterday who looked EXACTLY like Janeane. Hair, eyes, glasses, height, width, everything....

I've seen women who resemble Janeane in the East Village, but this woman was almost her twin.

But she had one thing missing....she had no tattoos...

Hahahahahahahaahaaaa!

Janeane... Please, please, please move to Australia and join me in an unholy civil union. I'll never ask another woman again...

Posted by: the blogger formerly known as Rusty at July 14, 2006 07:26 PM

I don't analyze these things too closely...

When did Goldberg leave? Two nights ago, Maron claimed that Goldberg prevented him from returning to AAR.

I blame society.

Society made me what I am today.

Wait did Janeane just say she is going to be working for Fox??? Bill O'Rielly?? Now that's a funny joke...

Oh. Is it another in a series of pathetically lame jokes?

If Janeane and Sam are going to make lame jokes, y'all can watch this....

Neither do I, or I might be speculating that she made that junk in the therapy room at Bellevue...

Sam looks super sexy in those pictures!!

My guess is that Janeane will step down from MMR

and Marc Maron will take over

it could happen

Janeane, welcome back! Sam is the great but the Sam and Janeane synergy is pure magic!!

Love you both. Your are a great team.

Sam looks super sexy in those pictures!!

I don't make any pretensions about that subject.

It's been quite a while.. aside from one brief thing that happened last year.

But you know.. I'm not a fat slug, so there is always hope.

Or you can watch something really disturbing....

Sam, Janeane...Don't go chang'n ;)

Blanks get the job done too.

Posted by: Nobody at July 14, 2006 07:34 PM

I'm actually very tired right now.

I guess my life is rather sad because I'm awaiting their "announcement."

Please, not another AAR CEO. Remember the last AAR CEO you had on? Some fuckhead by the name of Danny (I'm a fucking moron out to sabotage Air America) Goldberg, the guy who totally fucked Marc Maron out of the brilliant Morning Sedition and led to his late night show which was also cancelled. And Danny Goldfuck is also the guy who cancelled Unfiltered and brought us Jerry ("let's pay the hooker with a check") Springer.

So unless this new CEO comes on and says he's picking up Marc Maron's contract and giving him back his morning show, then count me skeptical.

YEEEE Hawwww! Gimmmee Dat Pig!!!

Great idea for a charity contest: Who had more tattoos, Janeane or Henry Rollins?

Do they listen to me?...Hell no...

HR is unlistenable.

Good evenin all! Yahoo, Janene is here.
Hey Sunshine!

That'll be a fine day when Janeane joins Fox. She'd have to shoot herself first...

Good point about the deaths in the rolling blackouts...never gonna be any prosecution, though.

Black Flag rocked it pretty hard!!!!

is that a cell phone in Sam's shirt pocket or is he just glad to see Janeane?

Sam's "screechy monoloques" are great! As a team they are the best (with the exception of the old Mark Rielly and Marc maron duo). You go team!

He isn't a dolt by any means.

When I listened to an NPR show, I heard him quote Nietzsche.

Rollins sounds a little defensive to me about myspace..... kind of suspect...

New York getting nuclear detectors

Listening to Janeane and Henry while Carl Palmer drums....very nice...

Bush eating wild pig...isn't that canibalism?

I'm surpised that Rollins isn't coming off as a complete egomaniac.........

Posted by: Michael the self-actualized A-C at July 14, 2006 07:40 PM

We must ask the question....has Rollins read Nietzsche, or did he just get a quote from a quote book?

Can't believe anyone would screw around with Henry Rollins...he's ripped like Nobody.

I'm looking great...

The ladies love me...and,,,

I'm getting GOOD WOOD!

(Bush sucks!)

why do I go care if Rollin is ripped and has tattoos???

I think the "announcement" and the new CEO has something to do with the fact that Air America has lost there lease to their flagship station WLIB.......it expires at the end of August..........wonder what's happening......

can i touch it?

Nietzsche...? Umm...Yeah ok...whatever impresses, I guess... :)

All those muscles...hopefully not steroid inspired...hehehehe....

I don't think he is a fop.

He is a "cool customer."

its scary in a way when the singer for black flag

is far more articulate than the president of the USA

never would have thought that would have happened when i was in high school
