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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 Heartland [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Latest Enormous Government Boondoggle

June 6, 2008

There is no distinctly American criminal class, except Congress. – Mark Twain As I was watching our distinguished Senators debate the Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill, which has been amended into the Boxer-Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill, I was wondering why it is that such a group of educated ladies and gentlemen can disagree so profoundly about such an [...]

Global Carbon Tax, Anyone ?

December 14, 2007

At the UN Climate conference in Bali, a global tax on carbon emissions was recommended by a panel of participants. Advocates said the tax would be “a global burden sharing system, fair, with solidarity, and legally binding to all nations.” (Translation: Bend over, United States Of America). Basically, the richer countries would be paying for [...]
