Updates Below! So you were duped. So you thought you were working on a crusade to save the world and it turns out you were just following a bunch of buffoons with fancy titles using impressive sounding mathematical and scientific terms (many of which the fancy titled buffoons did not really understand themselves). So what [...]

This is interesting - the UK’s House of Commons is going to investigate Climategate and apparently AGW: The Science and Technology Committee today announces an inquiry into the unauthorised publication of data, emails and documents relating to the work of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA). The Committee has agreed [...]

Pass this one on – it is outstanding. And it is evidence of why we needs pragmatic centrists on the side of national security, whether they agree on social issues/experiments or not.

I want to lead this post off with a reminder of two key events on the global warming front that occurred in the last 6 months. First were results from a Japanese space mission to measure Green House Gasses (GHGs), which showed America has an extremely low ‘carbon footprint’ compared to the rest of the [...]

Who were these people sitting with the first lady at the State of the Union speech? They were the heroes of the Ft Hood Massacre – who did not receive the call out from the President they deserved. That was a horrible omission by a young and inexperienced President more interested in his legacy than [...]

Final Insult: Obama had two American heroes in the audience (the two police officers who took down Major Nidal Hasan as he slaughtered innocent Americans at Ft Hood). They were sitting right next to the first lady. The President never recognized them. True heroes. I believe the woman just recently left the hospital her injuries [...]

Tonight will be interesting to watch, to see if the great communicator can snow America’s centrist voters into drinking the Kool-Aid one more time with charades and misrepresented ‘nice talk’. The stakes are huge, as this new NPR poll illustrate clearly: The poll holds plenty of danger signs for the Democrats. In one indicator studied [...]

One of the things the federal government does well is pushing the envelope and scientific exploration. Yes, the rubes surrounding global warming are a pathetic lot, but they are the exception to the rule. The internet by which I am allowed to post my gems of wisdom (or incoherent ramblings – pick your poison) is [...]

They claim there is something in the water here in DC, has been for decades. Something that turns normal, well meaning human beings into arrogant idiots (a nasty combination if there ever was one). It doesn’t happen to everyone, but it happens to a lot them. The Watergate idiocy, Clinton’s intern problem, congressional bribes and [...]

This is why there is a political tsunami rising through out the land against everyone in DC (not just the Democrats, not just the politicians, but the entire political industrial complex): Too Dumb to Thrive Absolutely amazing poll results from CNN today about the $787 stimulus package: nearly three out of four Americans think the money has [...]

Someone please tell me this is photoshopped! All this to speak at an elementary school? I wonder why he did not add the Roman columns??

Update: New fears of woman suicide bombers preparing to attack America: At least two are thought to have been trained by the Yemen-based group behind syringe bomber Umar Abdulmutallab’s Christmas Day jet bomb plot. They are thought to have non-Arab appearance and be travelling on Western passports, making them difficult to trace. Update: And because [...]

Last month, as was noted here and many other places, the national unemployment rate ‘stayed the same’ only because the workforce had shrunk due to so many people giving up on finding jobs. If a consistent workforce level had been used as the basis of the national numbers we would be closer to 11% instead [...]

It is amazing what you find when you pull back the PR spin from public facade of the AGW crowd and they become honest about the global warming canard. In my previous post I discovered Jim Hansen of NASA GISS noting the US temperature data is so noisy (yet it is the most accurate, most [...]

Major Update: This is a quote from Reto Ruedy Jim Hansen on August 10, 2007 regarding the US GISS temp data: He [McCyntire] concentrates on the US time series which (US covering less than 2% of the world) is so noisy and has such a large margin of error that no conclusions can be drawn from it [...]
