The best review of 2010 I have seen so far from a political standpoint comes from RCP: “The biggest mystery of 2010 may be Democrats’ failure to explain and sell their landmark health law, and the public’s sustained resistance to it despite the popularity of many of its components.” The mystery is why it’s still [...]

I stand with John Hinderaker at Powerline and his call to make public worker unions illegal once again – as they should be. For the large majority of our history, public employee unions have been illegal. It is only since the 1960s and 1970s that they have been allowed. Currently, they are legal in roughly [...]

Someone needs to go to jail. Here are some basic dots to connect. First, some NYC unions used the blizzard as a way to protest budget cuts: Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts — a disastrous move that turned streets [...]

Mother Nature has a message for the home country of the CRU and the IPCC historical temperature data – don’t mess with Gaia: BRITAIN’S winter is the coldest since 1683 and close to being the chilliest in nearly 1,000 years. Latest figures reveal that the average temperature since December 1 has been a perishing -1C. [...]

The worst-case accepted ‘guesstimate’ for the effect of man-made CO2 on the world’s climate is 0.74°C over the last 100 years, with statistical error bars of +/- 0.18°C. Because of this minuscule level of supposed global warming over the last century, all of humanity must be financially punished for the next century – of course [...]

It doesn’t get much worse than this: The federal government has accumulated more new debt–$3.22 trillion ($3,220,103,625,307.29)—during the tenure of the 111th Congress than it did during the first 100 Congresses combined, according to official debt figures published by the U.S. Treasury. Obama and the spend-mad liberals in Congress did more damage in 2 years [...]

Follow this link for many more great pictures from ABC News of the 2010 Christmas Blizzard The mythology of runaway global warming is being given the full Al Gore effect this Christmas – what with the historic blizzard that just walloped the center of liberal ‘thinking’ on America’s East Coast. As President Obama’s administration make [...]

Is the shared fear of Christmas and its Christian roots some interesting and bizarre coincidence, or a commonly shared fear of good people and historic teachings? Sadly, ’tis the season to ponder such disturbing questions. I found these news stories before Christmas quite enlightening. First Hitler’s view: But the Nazi Christmas was far from traditional. [...]

Merry Christmas to all from the Strata-Sphere! We hope everyone has a joyous and wonderful Christmas, and we thank you for all the time you spend visiting and sharing your thoughts with us.

This sums up all we need to say for the next 100 years about politics (click image for link to buy the sticker)

It is boneheaded liberal thinking like this: With the passage of Obamacare, the government slapped the managed care industry with a plethora of new must-do’s: For example, requiring that the insurers cover young adults until they’re 26 and banning them from denying coverage for anyone with preexisting conditions; mandating coverage of immunizations, and getting rid [...]

Tis the season for the bizarre and disturbing it seems. First, the head of our national security efforts demonstrates how Dianne Sawyer would be better at his job: As if that is not disturbing enough, a terrorism unit in Tennessee has its sites on the ACLU and an event meant to promote inclusion during the [...]

Attorney General Eric Holder has seen the enemy – and surprisingly it is not President George Bush for once: “I think that what is most alarming to me is the totality of what we see, the attorney general said. “Whether it is an attempt to bomb the New York City subway system, an attempt to [...]

After 2 long and brutal years of liberals in ascendancy humanity has now come face to face with the audacity of dopes. And I am not trying to be too cute with my terms – but deadly serious. How many screw ups does a liberal need to embrace before said liberal realizes he has no [...]

Why did the underwear bomber nearly take out an entire plane full of people over Detroit last year on Christmas Day? Even after there were numerous warning signs from Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and his father came to the US embassy to relay his own concerns that his son was going to attempt something very [...]
