June 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Per Barbara Boxer: “I’m going to put in the record … a host of quotes from our national security experts who tell us that carbon pollution leading to climate change will be over the next 20 years the leading cause of conflict, putting our troops in harm’s way,” Boxer said. “And that’s why we have [...]

Hank Johnson and that pesky island tipping problem

April 14th, 2010 | 2 Comments

That is striking some as possibly the stupidest comment by what has become arguably the stupidest Congress in the history of the United States of America.  After realizing his comment made him look quite stupid, he released this explanation: “I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their [...]

February 6th, 2010 | No Comments

Penn State University was checking into the ethics of Michael Mann after it was revealed his hockey stick theory was most likely contrived.  They announced their investigation.  Obama gave Mann $541,000 in stimulus money to do what he’s always done, no questions asked.  Penn State dropped their investigation citing lack of evidence.

This one was probably first, just took a while to get his word out: According to Bin Laden, because the US didn’t sign the Kyoto Agreement, the only way we can save the planet is to destroy the US.  Novel concept.

December 20th, 2009 | No Comments

Kansas and ESPN teamed up for a “green game”.  During the Kansas-Michigan game, viewers were battered with green stuff.  Some of the eco stuff was OK, but some was the tired, usual, global warming is gonna kill us all if we don’t start trading carbon credits on the Chicago carbon exchange crap. I got a [...]

Barbara Boxer wants to shoot the messenger. Really, really, badly.

OK, here’s the gist: "You call it ‘Climategate’; I call it ‘E-mail-theft-gate,’" she said during a committee meeting……  Part of our looking at this will be looking at a criminal activity which could have well been coordinated. Well, first of all, I would think that IF what Phil Jones insinuates in his email is true, [...]

Bogus Nobels are forever

November 30th, 2009 | 1 Comment

No one has ever been stripped of a Nobel Prize, because this is actually specifically forbidden by the organization which administers the Nobel Prizes. According to the Nobel Foundation, “no appeals may be made against the decision of a prize-awarding body with regard to the award of a prize,” and no prizes can be revoked [...]

Dueling climate control bills

September 29th, 2009 | No Comments

Waxman-Markey is the creme of every liberal’s crop of life control legislations.  This thing affects every single aspect of life as you know it.  Surprisingly, it’s not gotten anywhere.  “Cap and trade” has sort of become synonoums with “taxing”.  Now, I a cynic.  I think Waxman-Markey is loonie.  I have yet to have one single [...]

Reflexively anti-Obama

August 25th, 2009 | No Comments

A fellow had this to say, among other things: ….we had already seen two tax cuts sold on massively, easily documented false pretenses; a war launched with constant innuendo about a Saddam-Osama link that was clearly false, and with claims about WMDs that were clearly shaky from the beginning and had proved to be entirely [...]
