O's Top 10 Gaffes

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for Glenn Beck who is trying to stimulate our economy and create prospering careers for comedians by giving them material on President Bend Over.



Did Biden escape from a padded room? If so, can we return him to it?

Minnesotans for Global Warming video

Hide the Decline already a song. And I don't have my t-shirt, yet.

ClimateGate: the perfect holiday gift for the woman who exhales

Mom never told me there was a Santa. In fact, she argued otherwise.
"No, there isn't a Santa. It's just a story."
I believed her. Now, I'm not so sure because this gift was on my Wish List and only Santa knew. And God. He heard from me, too.



I don't understand it completely, not all of the legal ramifications. I didn't understand the inner-workings of a Go-Cart, either. But I still adored getting one on my 8th Christmas.

Basically, a group of ornery elves hacked into the computers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, the mother load of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming research, and fed all the hungry non-Kool-aid drinking children out there. The hackers created an expose. And scientists who make-up world altering scientific evidence don't like getting caught with their pants down.

As James Delingpole puts it in a wry twist of sarcastic gloating more delicious than spiked eggnog:

If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet. (Hat tip: Watts Up With That)

When you read some of those files – including 1079 emails and 72 documents – you realise just why the boffins at Hadley CRU might have preferred to keep them confidential. As Andrew Bolt puts it, this scandal could well be “the greatest in modern science”.

Oh what to do, what to do. Should I sponsor a global warming scientist this Christmas? Send him cards to encourage him into a new line of work, like taking his imagination to DreamWorks or working for Matel. They do like building models.

Delingpole goes on to report the list of naughty crimes these man-made global warming supporting scientists seem to be guilty of:

Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organised resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.

A poetic coupling of phrases in the emails really stand out, like "hide the decline", for which I'll be putting on a t-shirt.

Sen. Inhofe, enjoying the vindication after years of calling climate change science a "hoax", is now calling for an investigation. Rip the wrapping paper off this gag gift, Sen. Inhofe. I want a receipt and my money back.

Well, on this thing, it is pretty serious. And since, you know, Barabara Boxer is the Chairman and I’m the Ranking Member on Environment and Public Works, if nothing happens in the next seven days when we go back into session a week from today that would change this situation, I will call for an investigation. ‘Cause this thing is serious, you think about the literally millions of dollars that have been thrown away on some of this stuff that they came out with.

Thus far, the MSM are ignoring the elephant in the room as best they can, like stepping in it's droppings and pretending their feet don't stink. What? You smell something? I don't smell anything.

Delingpole published today an interview with retired climatologist Dr. Tim Ball. Here's the money quote:

“On a global scale it’s frightening because this group of people not only control the Hadley Centre, which controls the data on global temperature through the Hadley Climate Research Unit but they also control the IPCC and they’ve manipulated that. And of course the IPCC has become the basis in all governments for the Kyoto protocol, the Copenhagen accord and so on….”

Remember Lord Monckton? Remember his warning about the Climate Treaty in Copenhagen? Remember his challenge to Gore? The Brit has already won the argument even though The Goracle remains mute on the subject.
Another loud supporter taking the "What? You smell something?" tactic is our man-child President, making statements today as if ClimateGate doesn't exist.
Via Breitbart:

US President Barack Obama said Tuesday the world has moved "one step closer" to a "strong operational agreement" on climate change at next month's Copenhagen summit after his talks with Indian and Chinese leaders.

Scientific data forcing people to drive different vehicles, pay higher taxes, grovel with apology for their very existence, all exposed as a fraud, and our world leaders say nothing?
That's because it has nothing to do with the science and everything to do with control. Global warming hysteria has always been about seizing personal freedom from the sleeping giant of public outcry. We had to like it, embrace it, feel good about ourselves while our heating bills skyrocket and our lightbulbs are dictated. We had to willingly relinquish our freedom since the Constitution guarantees it's existence.

What? You smell something?

I think it smells like...

President Bend Over strikes a pose again

Back trouble?



Bending over is a strain on the lower back. The White House should get him a strap-on back brace for those unscripted moments when he can't stop himself from bowing. Here, it's to Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.
Who knew being President was as strenuous as working in the large appliance department at Lowes.

9/11 show trial BREAKING UPDATE: defense attorney booted from military civilian attorney pool

O'Reilly, obviously disgusted like only O'Reilly can do, interviews one of the defense attorneys for the 9/11 terrorists. This should give you a good taste of what that trial is, the purpose, and the perversion precedent this trial is setting.
O'Reilly asks him, "You know people hate you, don't you?"
And his answer?



The attorney, once the trial is over, should move to Afghanistan, live among the people he believes deserve a trial, people who have already confessed to killing 3,000 people, people who will slice off his head if he doesn't convert to Islam, people who will kill until they themselves are dead.
Bed down with the devil.

He should feel very proud. This trial will motivate other killers, this trial will give them credence, this trial will inspire more terrorist attacks. So more innocent people will die. Then this attorney can argue over the exact numbers again and whether or not you can call ramming jets into buildings and killing thousands can be called murder.
Yes, proud indeed.

When the law usurps justice, time to rid ourselves of that law.

UPDATE:
Exclusively from HotAir, they have obtained a memo showing the defense attorney for the 9/11 terrorists, Scott Fenstermaker, having been removed from the military's civilian defense pool. Why? HotAir has the memo and info at the link. But here's a description by Ed Morrissey:

According to an August 2008 memo provided exclusively to me by a source in the Department of Defense, Fenstermaker got booted from the military commissions civilian defense counsel pool in 2008 for “counterproductive” interactions with the staff, and not representing himself in a “forthright” manner to the chief defense counsel for the Gitmo detainees.

Not an honest fella? Shocking.

Katie hitting hard news with poems

Why don't people respect Katie as a serious journalist? Huh? I don't get it.



Oh embarrassing. But maybe not as embarrassing as this:





Via Gawker.com who has more images, these were taken in '06 at an after party of Katie's debut as the anchor of CBS Evening News.
Again, I ask, why don't people take Katie seriously?

Martha doesn't like Sarah? Thank goodness

There are a few people in showbiz I prefer to never agree with on anything - Martha Stewart is one of them, along with Bill Maher and throw in Oprah while we're at it.

Here, she talks about Sarah, calling her "dangerous" and "confused". Perhaps Martha simply isn't cerebral enough to understand plain English, which is what Sarah is speaking. Martha's grown accustomed to Obama's long-winded answers that say nothing, when all you really wanted to know was if he'd be eating turkey on Thanksgiving.
The last comment, however, is the pearl.



She wouldn't watch Sarah even if you "pay me"? Actually ex-con Martha, we already know what you're willing to do if paid.
