If I Had A Hammer…

October 11, 2009

Let's get the crazy train rolling at high speed right off the bat with this first quote…
“The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists – the Taliban and Hamas this morning – in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize.” – Democratic National Committee communications director Brad Woodhouse (link).
Let me [...]

IPCC Already Wrong About Global Warming

July 1, 2009

Below is a graph of the Earth's temperature change estimates from the IPCC's Third Assessment report in 2001.

Take a look at the period from 2000-2010 on the above graph. Do you see the steady upward climb of the Earth's temperature predicted by the IPCC ? Okay, hold that thought.
Here are the actual measurements of [...]

Enough Already – Stop Cap-And-Trade

June 28, 2009

“Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government.” – Thomas Jefferson
Allow me to construct a hypothetical set of circumstances. Let's say our country was in the midst of [...]

House Moves Forward On Destroying Economy

May 26, 2009

The House Energy And Commerce Committee has approved the American Clean Energy And Security Act of 2009 (cap and trade). Although no members of the committee actually read the nearly 1,000 page bill, the House did employ a speed reader for a day to read part of the bill aloud (think Pittsburgh Pete), which didn't [...]

News The Media Can't Use

May 6, 2009

Following are some news stories our esteemed mainstream media just can't manage to find time for, at least not when such pressing issues as whether or not Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has had a boob job are still under investigation. Prejean, the 21-year old liberal hate media target of the week, also had some racy [...]

Earth Day Predictions From 1970

April 30, 2009

Because we're on the verge of riding the cap-and-trade road (to hell ?), paved with good intentions, of course, I thought I'd share some of the not-so-accurate predictions our environmental gurus made on the original Earth Day in 1970. Not that I'm saying Al Gore could EVER be mistaken now. Lord, no. He said "the [...]

Green Energy Economics

April 23, 2009

"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket" – Barack Obama, 2008
Candidate Obama wasn't kidding when he made the above statement, and now President Obama and the Democrats are preparing to raise consumer energy prices through the roof. It isn't only their cap and trade proposals that will drive [...]

Political Tidbits Of The Week

April 11, 2009

What if Bush or Palin said this ?: "It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of — I don't know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing — and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, [...]

Sunday Political Stuff

March 29, 2009

The following chart illustrates what percentage of CO2 greenhouse gases are attributable to man:

The rest of the greenhouse gases consist mostly of water vapor (95%). Read the Global Warming Primer for more information. Also keep in mind that the proposed cap-and-trade system of taxation being proposed by Obama, which would cost trillions of dollars, aims [...]

International Conference On Climate Change

March 13, 2009

Seeing as how cap-and-trade legislation is about to be implemented by our President and Congress, and 2,300 lobbyists (a 300% increase in the last 5 years) are vying for influence over the newer, greener, more expensive energy sector, I thought another perspective on global warming climate change might be in order.
Last week, the [...]

Groundhog Day All Over Again

February 2, 2009

A famous American weather forecasting animal, the groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil, emerged at Gobbler's Knob this morning and allegedly saw his shadow. As we all know, that means we're in for six more weeks of winter. Sigh.
I say Punxsutawney Phil "allegedly" saw his shadow because, as it turns out, Groundhog Day isn't just a weather [...]

Speaking Of Global Warming….

June 9, 2008

I'm happy to report that GOP Senators, along with 4 Democrats, voted down the Boxer-Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill, in a move that will kick the cap-and-trade carbon tax can down the road until next year, when support for the economy-killing bureaucratic monstrosity will presumably be stronger.
There is more to say about the alleged "consensus" on global [...]
