Examiner (Washington, D.C.), The December 31, 2009 | Examiner Commentary Writer They can’t even get snowfall at National Airport right Sometimes a simple argument works better than a complex one to debunk public support for an establishment hoax. Topper Shutt says Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport’s snow accumulation figures for the December blizzard were low, as they always are when it’s windy. website global warming hoax

The reason is quite simple: National Airport is surrounded by water on three sides, so snow can blow from the measuring location into the water, but once it touches the water, it can’t blow any farther. The fact that snow accumulation in nearby Arlington and Alexandria is greater further confirms the fact that National Airport’s snow accumulation data are systematically biased.

Howard Hutchins Wonga Park, Victoria Australia DNA couldn’t save three members of my family Re: “DNA clears man jailed 28 years for rape, murder,” Dec. 14 It’s a shame DNA wasn’t available in 1951, when seven black men (five of them under the age of 20) were executed in Richmond, Va., for the rape of one married white woman. They became known as the Martinsville Seven, the largest mass execution for rape in U.S. history.

For the record, three of these young men were relatives of mine.
