Minneapolis, Minnesota (The Adobo Chronicles) – Republican Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann staged her strongest attack yet against environmentalists who claim that global warming is responsible for the recent weird changes in the world’s weather pattern.

“Global warming is a myth and has no basis in science,” Bachmann said. She used this week’s weather forecast in her home state to debunk claims that the world is getting warmer and warmer.

Acccording to weather forecasts, Minnesota wll experience an entire week beginning Tuesday of below freezing temperatures from below to mid 20’s (freezing temperatures begin at 32 degrees F).image

“How can environmentalists claim global warming when right here in my state, we are freezing,” Bachamann said.

Bachmann made the comments as international negotiators gathering in Lima, Peru for climate change talks have agreed on a plan to fight global warming that would for the first time commit all countries to cutting their greenhouse gas emissions.

PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER FIGHT FINALLY HAPPENING ON MAY 2, 2015

imageLas Vegas, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – It is a boxing match that will definitely eclipse the ‘Thrilla in Manila’ between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier back in 1975, one that is being touted as ‘Mayhem in May.’

Finally, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has agreed to fight Filipino champion boxer Manny Pacquiao and the American fighter has even handpicked the date – May 2, 2015.

ESPN first reported that this much-anticipated match is definitely happening after years of ducking, excuses, allegations and counter-allegations between the two camps that have left boxing fans very disappointed and frustrated for a long time now. Money is not going to be an issue, according to the report. This leaves wide open the prize money that awaits either fighter.

The Adobo Chronicles  was able to reach very reliable sources within the Mayweather camp and confirmed that the boxer, who is currently training in Las Vegas, has agreed to finally face Pacquiao on May 2, with only two conditions:

First, that the fight will be shown on Showtime Pay Per View (PPV), and second  that the 12-round bout will happen aboard the International Space Station.

“Having the fight while Pacquiao and I are both experiencing weightlessness will truly make the match even — pound for pound, ” Mayweather reportedly said.

The only remaining detail that  needs to be worked out is what to call the championship contest. Obviously, it can not be called a lightweight, welterweight or heavyweight fight.

Who will be the weightless boxing champion of the world? Or the universe.

MICHIGAN WILL START ISSUING LICENSES TO DISCRIMINATE

FINALDetroit, Michigan (The Adobo Chronicles) – By virtue of a recent circuit court decision to reverse an earlier ruling by a federal judge striking down the state’s ban on gay marriage, Michigan remains among the 15 states in the U.S. that continue to deny the granting of marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

But Michigan is a step closer to being the first U.S. state to issue licenses to discriminate.

The Michigan Republican-led House has approved a bill — the Religious Freedom Restoration Act — that would let individuals or businesses seek exemptions to government regulations they feel substantially burden their sincerely-held religious beliefs.

This means that gay men and women, Atheists, pro-choice individuals and others may be denied services on the basis of religious beliefs held by individuals and businesses.

In anticipation of the bill’s approval by the Republican-led state senate and subsequent signature by Republican Governor Rick Snyder, the Michigan State Attorney General’s Office has announced that it has started to print official licenses to discriminate. It will start issuing the licenses on January 2, 2015.

The licenses can be obtained upon payment of a $50 fee.  The licenses are valid for a period of 3 months, subject to renewal.

So if you’re planning to discriminate all year-round, be prepared to cough up $200 per year.
