WHAT ELSE IS A MONARCH TO DO WHEN CONGRESS JUST WON’T LET HIM HAVE HIS WAY? “Yes we can!” No you couldn’t. ”Pass this bill!” No they didn’t. “We can’t wait!” Neither can we - for you and your sorry regime to move out of the White House in 14 months. While the boy king has mused multiple times about how much [...]

The U.S. Forest Service has approved an Aussie mining outfits’ Finley Basin minerals exploration…providing they use only 1870′s methods. Union Carbide prospected the area in the 1970′s, finding evidence of minerals. It used bulldozers and power tools. But the Aussies, trying to bring economic activity to Montana, are required to use–get this–only mule power and [...]

Politico has begun the media’s “high tech lynching” of Herman Cain. At dawn, the online news magazine published an anonymously sourced, deny-this-if-you-can, attack piece on Herman Cain, alleging that he sexually harassed two women. Oh, Politico didn’t allege that. The two faceless women, whose claims were never substantiated, did. The women were said to be given [...]
Of course he is right, and this is how Romney will be portrayed if he is the GOP candidate.
“He has no core. You know, he was supportive of doing things like a cap in trade agreement. Now he doesn’t think that, you know, climate change is real. He was to the left of Ted Kennedy on gay rights issues. Now he wants to amend the constitution [on] gay marriage. He was an extremely pro-choice governor. Now he believes that life begins at conception.You get the sense with Mitt Romney that, you know, if he thought it was good to say the sky was green and the grass was blue, to win an election, he’d say it.”

From James Taranto’s “Best of the Web”:
Fox News, meanwhile, reports on an effort to push nanny-statism even further: “Gov. Dan Malloy has declared Thursday ‘Diaper Need Awareness Day’ as part of a campaign by The Nutmeg State to pressure Washington into providing free diapers to low-income families.” Rep. Rosa DeLauro, like Malloy a Connecticut Democrat, is pushing legislation that “would allow Uncle Sam to . . . provide funding for diapers and diaper supplies.”
Maybe Obama should take it one step further and ask Congress to create a new cabinet-level Department of Infant Care to provide free diapers to all Americans. (Would that include the elderly? Depends.) It would certainly resonate with his 2008 campaign theme of “change.”

AMERICA WAKE UP! IS THIS WHAT WE REALLY WANT?
Americans, this is the result of Obama’s crazy Middle East policies- brutal, shameful death. Raw, raw, raw. With gunfire & celebration. This is what death looks like, people. Every president before Obama has understood the need to keep the Middle East under control and as peaceful as possible. Obama has systematically stuck his arrogant finger in the pie over there and stirred and agitated and stirred until the angry bees have streamed out of their nest in a murderous rage to kill. Obama, the anti-war candidate, has made more war and has perpetrated more killing than any president in United States history. Read the rest of this entry
Readers may recall my previous essay where I pointed out how Mr. Gore’s Climate 101 Video, used in his “24 hours of climate reality”, had some serious credibility issues with editing things to make it appear as if they had actually performed the experiment, when they clearly did not. It has taken me awhile to replicate the experiment. Delays were a combination of acquisition and shipping problems, combined with my availability since I had to do this on nights and weekends. I worked initially using the original techniques and equipment, and I’ve replicated the Climate 101 experiment in other ways using improved equipment. I’ve compiled several videos. My report follows.
First. as a refresher, here’s the Climate 101 video again:

The story just gets richer. Unemployment benefits have reached the most ludicrous levels in our nation’s history. People who lost their jobs two years ago have been able to sit pretty, collecting unemployment benefits without doing a stitch of work to justify their paycheck while the rest of us dummies slog through our day doing whatever jobs we can to pay our bills. Irresponsible people who didn’t bother to read their home loan contracts, who played Russian roulette with their interest rates, have been given the incredible ability to simply re-write their loans at 2% fixed interest loans with partial debt forgiveness to boot!
