Posted By Dave Snope
Romney also ignored requests to memorialize the murdered Israeli athletes with a moment of silence during his Salt Lake City Olympic games in 2002.

U.S. Temperature trends show a spurious doubling

Posted By Dave Snope
Jo Nova:

“This is one of those blockbuster moments when the pieces come together. For Anthony it’s five years work, and overturns so many studies all at once. This graph rather sums it all up. Raw well placed thermometers recorded 0.15C per decade. Badly sited thermometers recorded 0.25C, and adjusted ones recorded 0.3C! Fully twice the warming trend.”


James Delingpole:

What it means, in a nutshell, is that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – the US government body in charge of America’s temperature record, has systematically exaggerated the extent of late 20th century global warming. In fact, it has doubled it.

Skeptical Scientists Change Their Minds

Posted By Dave Snope
You're joking right? Tell me you're joking, please. Richard Muller? THE Richard Muller? The guy is the biggest faker in the business, an alarmist pretending to be a skeptice pretending to prove warming to get credibility to feed his gigantic ego. C'mon Rod. This is tiresome.

No skeptic I’ve met said that “… carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels will prove to be the greatest pollutant of human history. It is likely to have severe and detrimental effects on global climate.” (Richard Muller, 2003). So perhaps he became a skeptic later? Not so much. Richard Muller, 2008: “There is a consensus that global warming is real. …it’s going to get much, much worse.”

The defining mark of a skeptic is that they never believe simply because there is a “consensus”.

That Muller allows himself to be referred to as a skeptic in publication after publication says it all really. He’s not concerned about accuracy, he’s in this for the PR. We can’t trust the man on anything. If he’ll lie to save the planet, he’ll lie to save the planet. Enough said. I have no respect for him.*

Happy Birthday

Love this quote from Milton:

He was unstinting in his criticism, but he was a famously happy warrior. His wit was one of his great pedagogical tools. Inspecting a government-run canal-building project in Asia, he noted that the workers were using shovels and wheelbarrows instead of bulldozers and earth-moving equipment, and was informed by his guide that using shovels meant more jobs for the workers. “Then why not use spoons?” Friedman asked.

Chik-Fil-A vs. Mosques

Posted By Dave Snope
I you referring to all of the liberal politicians that are trying to stop mosques because of islam's vehemently anti-gay, anti-women's rights, and anti-jew stances?

Oh wait, nevermind, there aren't any. Rahm Emmanuel doesn't want to allow Chik-Fil-A's in Chicago, but did allow the Nation of Islam to re-open there new Salaam restaraunt this month.

Salaam "springs from the mission of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and Nation of Islam". Minister Louis Farrakhan recently responded to President Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage calling him “the first president that sanctioned what the scriptures forbid,” according to a video posted by the Nation of Islam’s “official” news source, Finalcall.com.

How about Boston, where mayor Menino doesn't want Chik-Fil-A? Nope, he donated taxpayer money to support a vehemently anti-homosexual group.

This is the Islamic Society of Boston’s mosque in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, a.k.a. “Menino’s Mosque.

Mayor Menino “sold” $2 million worth of city property to the ISB for $175,000, despite their well-documented links to Muslim extremism. The mosque teaches a form of Islam that condemns homosexuals to death.

Obama that I used to know

Posted By Dave Snope
Yeah they need their fantasy Obama back, the one they believed would save the world because they were too ignorant to see him for what he was/is.

"Your big package failed to stimulate me". LOL.

Transcripts........what transcripts

Posted By Dave Snope
Sheesh, I forgot about Queen Michelle's coterie of attendants. She actually has 24 people, according to her press secretary.

Let's see Harry Reid's tax returns while we're at it. The people have a right to know how he became worth $10M on a government salary and financially demanding social calendar. An audit is justified.

Egyptian Airstrikes in the Sinai

Posted By Dave Snope
Another fun fact:

AFP - Egyptian police have nabbed
a Canadian student in Sinai on suspicion of involvement in an ambush that killed 16 soldiers, security officials said on Wednesday.

The said the man, identified as David Edward, was in possession of an Egyptian identification card belonging to someone else and had taken pictures of armoured personnel vehicles.

A Canadian embassy official said he could not confirm or deny the arrest, due to privacy reasons.

The officials said Edward entered the country on Sunday, the day cut-throats killed the soldiers in an ambush, and was a student at a Canadian university.

We like Democracy, but we LOVE spending more

Posted By Dave Snope

At one point, an estimate of 44 million riders a year — subsequently revised downward, substantially — assumed gasoline costing $40 a gallon.

God I hate politicians. Especially on energy and transportation projects. So may lies, so many phony estimates of costs or revenues that are off by factors of 5 or even 10, so much hidden information... there should be a system of prison terms for people who steal from the taxpayers such large sums of money for their own personal gain. Later they'll say that they were given bad data by 'experts' that they paid to tell them what they want to hear. That's no excuse. A year in jail for each billion dollars stolen (or mistaken) should be the rule.
