Rio+20: Worse Failure Than Copenhagen

Pretty much everyone agrees that nothing of substance happened (which is actually a good thing in my mind), though many enjoyed a taxpayer funded vacation in exotic Rio, though they agree that those unnecessary fossil fueled flights were rather long (Telegraph) Even the skies wept. Glorious weather bathed Rio de Janeiro for the week running […]

Typical Liberals Show Typical Liberal Class At White House Event

The most shocking thing is that almost no one will be shocked by this typical complete lack of class by people sure to vote Democrat (Philly.com) Last Friday, an attaché of important gay people from Philadelphia made a trip to Washington D.C. as invited guests of President Barack Obama for the White House’s first-ever gay […]

Obama: What We Need Is “Bottom-Up” Economics

Because, you know, it’s all those people with no freaking money who make the economy run, create jobs, and open businesses. After his Typical Whining about Republicans, mischaracterizing the proposals, we get (UPI) “I believe we should do everything we can to help our entrepreneurs succeed,” the president said. “I want our companies to be […]

NY Times Has Fit Over Other People Using Air Conditioners

More specifically, they are concerned about the rising use of air conditioners in 3rd world shitholes developing nations (NY Times) In the ramshackle apartment blocks and sooty concrete homes that line the dusty roads of urban India, there is a new status symbol on proud display. An air-conditioner has become a sign of middle-class status […]

Friday Stupid: Obama Wants Your Wedding Money

It doesn’t get more stupid than this Via Weasel Zippers, who wonders if Obama can be any more pompous. Seriously, this is more like a cult where you’re supposed to give up all your worldly goods for the cult. Or, really, the cult’s leader. Pathetic. Disturbing. More at protein wisdom. More: When even Wonkette and […]

Good Grief: In Rio, Statue Of Jesus Bathed In Green Light

All this was for the Rio+20 working taxpayer funded vacation, er, conference (Planet Gore) Green guru James Lovelock was right. He warned last week that “the green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion.” Now at the U.N. Earth Summit, even the image of Christ has been made a forcible convert to the […]

UN Investigator Says US Drone Strikes May Be War Crimes

Let me be clear: I mostly support Obama’s use of drone strikes against Islamist terrorists around the world. It’s one of the few things on which I agree with him. Actually, it’s more like agreeing with Joe Biden, who recommended using more strikes and less troops in regards to the surge in Afghanistan. The United […]

Washington Post: Congress Has A Right To Investigate Fast And Furious

Well, this is a bit of a shocker. The Editorial Board comes out in favor of Congress Perhaps it’s true, as the White House has argued, that Mr. Issa’s investigation has degenerated into a partisan fishing expedition. And perhaps yielding to that would discourage candor in the councils of this and future administrations, as the […]

Research Shows Antarctica Was 20 Degrees F Warmer In Past

Obviously, this means we’re all doooooooomed! (Science Daily) A new university-led study with NASA participation finds ancient Antarctica was much warmer and wetter than previously suspected.
