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.

And then they went to LA

You thought they were done?
Actually, I think they are just getting started. I'll explain more in a different post. But for now, let's watch our favorite undercover film makers - Hannah and James - go to ACORN and obtain help for their child-sex-slavery brothel and prostitution business.
Here's a tidbit you need to know first, it comes in the name of ACORN worker Lavelle Stewart, the star of this mini-feature.
Lavelle. Oh, Lavelle. This isn't your best side.
If you've read the LA Time's columnist James Rainey's column defending ACORN and their immaculate integrity, you'd know the name Lavelle. Here's an excerpt via Allapundit at HotAir:

And visits to other ACORN offices have gone almost entirely unmentioned. Lavelle Stewart, a fair-housing coordinator in the group’s Los Angeles office, told me this week that she tried to get the “prostitute,” who claimed she had been beaten by her pimp, to go to a women’s center.

“The fact she was not taking the help I offered her made me think something was not right,” Stewart said. “It raised a red flag.”

Meet Lavelle and her missing red flag.

If you've missed any of the prequels, here they are in all their prostitution sting glory in San Diego, California, New York, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.

SNL belittles Obama

Also, this just in, hell froze over.

Yes, SNL on NBC made fun of Obama. What's the angle? I don't know. They're desperate for ratings? That's never motivated SNL to be funny before.

WARNING: It's funny. A few times, however, it's also crude. What am I saying? It's SNL. Of course it's crude.



Has CNN fact-checked this skit, yet?

Yes, SNL made fun of Obama once. It was only about not achieving what the left deemed as "success", i.e. closing Gitmo, ending the war, etc. This time, however, it's about topics near and dear to a conservative heart - fiscal responsibility.

SNL mocks Obama. It's like everything up is down. Soon, they might stop treating Tina Fey as if her Sarah impression will bring about world peace.....Nah. Now, I've gone too far.

Is ObamaCare killing innovation?

I think it was Harry Reid, in the Senate, with the lead pipe. Or, the 2,000 page bill. Both are lethal.

Reason.TV takes us to a pro-ObamaCare rally in LA, where the crazies like to come out and play during daylight. Then, they take us onward to answer a simple question: Are medical profits keeping Americans alive?



Will Ferrel is the biggest waste of funds in Hollywood, a monumental distinction in the mecca of ridiculous waste. He demands more and his films recoup less than any other star, an achievement earned only by his willful participation in his own jackassery.



Why am I bringing this up?

Because I enjoy mocking the man.

Second, however, is the lack of people - looking much like the stellar citizens highlighted earlier - upset over his obscene profits, if profits can be obscene. How dare he make money on entertainment or something allegedly similar. Entertainment is a right. This is America.

"It's disgusting," as the protest woman said. People making profits on life-saving innovations is disgusting. Filthy capitalists.

However, actors and athletes and musicians, their profits are good and whole and decent and rightfully earned. The service they provide this country, in their thirst to stand in front of a camera wearing clothes someone else designed on a set someone else built and saying words someone else wrote, is priceless. We can't live without movies like "Step Brothers".

What I wonder is what these protesters and their like-minded ignoramus cohorts do for a living. Teacher? Accountant? Computer programmer? Government employee? What about their profits? Do they make money? Or do they pay money to do their job? And when they took their job, did the salary weigh in on their decision?

One ill-conceived and misinformed individual boasted the health system of the UK - where women are forced to have their babies in elevators and hallways - and Canada - where they take health vacations to America. Yes, let's trade it all in where politicians, those bastions of monetary discretion, make our health decisions for us.

We're going to be paying taxes immediately, if ObamaCare passes, while the actual benefits do not begin until 2014.
As the blogprof puts it: "..there will only be 5 years of benefits for 10 years of taxes."

The saving money angle? That's DOA, too. So embrace the rationed health care while our national debt rises like the stank smell of a new Ferrell movie release.
Obama keeps talking about all the money we'll be saving by making health records electronic. Oh the contrary. A new Harvard study says quite the opposite.

Harvard researchers say computerization hasn’t made medicine cheaper nor more efficient. True or not, the report comes at an unfortunate time for President Obama and his health care reform push because backers say the cost of reform can be somewhat muted by savings from modernization.

The report’s lead author, Dr. David Himmelstein, associate professor at Harvard Medical School and former director of clinical computing at Cambridge Hospital in Massachusetts, says hospital computerization “hasn’t saved a dime.” Nor has it helped administrative efficiency.

So what are we getting out of ObamaCare? We're punishing people making money, while panhandling for anything free. And it feels so righteous.

Inhofe: We won, you lost - get a life.

Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma (this state produces the coolest people) had a little fun with Barbara "call me 'Senator'" Boxer. Want to take over the world's economy with snake oil science? Well, not today you won't.

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, perhaps Congress’ most vocal skeptic of man-made global warming, essentially declared victory Wednesday in a lengthy speech on the Senate floor.

“I proudly declare 2009 as the ‘Year of the Skeptic,’ the year in which scientists who question the so-called global warming consensus are being heard,’’ the Oklahoma Republican said.

“Until this year, any scientist, reporter or politician who dared raise even the slightest suspicion about the science behind global warming was dismissed and repeatedly mocked.’’

Chaching. Scientists opposing man-made global warming - and in essence Al Gore's entire narrative and lacquered hairstyle - are getting bolder. That's progress. Eventually, we might even open the floor for serious debate.
I know. Let's not get crazy.

Ed Morrissey at HotAir explains what Inhofe is clicking his heels together about:

What has Inhofe feeling vindicated? He points to the collapse of the Copenhagen conference, which was widely expected to produce a Kyoto-style agreement among Western nations to commit economic seppuku by restricting energy production. However, Inhofe could just as easily point to an event closer to home — Harry Reid’s rescheduling of Boxer’s bill to the spring, where Democrats will undoubtedly run as fast as possible from it in an election year.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Glenn: Time to hear Black Conservatives

It's way past time.

Racism is alive. I agree with that. And it's all found from the left.

This show is absolutely fascinating. Conservative or liberal, if you want to open dialogue - honest dialogue - about racial issues in this country, then you should be willing to hear from black conservatives, too. And this is a fabulous conversation.









No, we don't all agree. Isn't it wonderful? Isn't it so American to allow open and real conversation? It's powerful, my friends. This is why liberals want it silenced.

Healthcare Hoops

What if you played a game against the referee? Would you ever win? After nothing but failure with nothing but failure possible, would you still keep playing?

Meet government-run health care.



The bench is going to get crowded.

Today's poll: President Palin preferred

Approval ratings are Obama's strength, except when they're not.

Palin: 51%
Obama: 47%

Uh oh.
Not that Sarah has any intention of ever running again. She isn't saying. I rather doubt it. Nonetheless, her views - the reason behind her support - are on the rise, while Obama is going flat.

His tracking poll from Rasmussen today has him at 47%. And Quinnipiac Poll also confirms. The shine is coming off the halo.

President Barack Obama’s approval rating has fallen below 50 percent for the first time in polling by Quinnipiac University as U.S. voter discontent grows over the war in Afghanistan.

Obama’s job approval rating fell to 48 percent in the Nov. 9-16 survey of registered voters nationwide by the Hamden, Connecticut-based university, with 42 percent polled saying they disapproved of the job he is doing.

Sarah, however, is doing great with a 51% approval rating. And all while the media attacks her. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they're impotent.

Sarahpalooza resurges

She writes a book and people flock to the store. See how infuriating this must make libs? Didn't Pelosi pen a publishing flop? Didn't Al Frankin run for office because his radio career tanked? And it seems Bill Maher made a movie once.
Sarah writes a book and pre-sale records break. Then she schedules her first signing at Barnes & Nobles and hundreds wait in the cold.

It was 4:55 when the first cheer went up.

“Sarah! Sarah! Sarah”

And that’s 4:55 this morning when the thermometer had dipped into the 30s. But the 500 or so people in line didn’t mind the sleepless night or the onset of winter.

“What she represents is what we’re standing in line for,” said Robin Case, 44, of Traverse City, who set up a chair and sleeping bag at 9 p.m. Tuesday to make sure she got the chance to meet Sarah Palin, former Alaska Governor and vice presidential candidate. “She’s real and she’s standing up for what we believe in.”

Palin was scheduled to begin her “Going Rogue” book tour at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers at the Woodland Mall in Kentwood.

By 7 a.m., the line had swelled to more than 1,500 people as Barnes & Noble wrapped orange wristbands around Palin fans’ wrists.

Then she goes on Oprah.



Here's the money quote of the article, besides the fact Sarah did Oprah's waning viewing numbers a solid:

Winfrey began the interview by asking Palin if she felt snubbed at not getting an invitation to appear on the show last year. Winfrey said she didn't have any candidates on her Chicago-based show during the campaign because of her support for President Barack Obama.

Palin said she didn't feel snubbed and told Winfrey, "No offense to you, but it wasn't the center of my universe."

Oprah is the sun. Got it?

Curtsy to Gateway Pundit

Gore: Earth core really hot or something

"...the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees"
The Goracle

Except, no. Not even close.



The earth's core isn't several million degrees, try 4,000 to 9,000 degrees Celsius.

"If the temperature anywhere inside the earth was 'several million degrees,' we'd be a star."

John Derbyshire
National Review

Physlink, a physics and astronomy website, explains Al Gore's ignorance like this:

It is approximately 4000°C at the centre of the Earth. To put this in context:

1. The centre of the Sun is approximately 15 million°C
2. The surface of the Sun is 5500°C
3. Iron melts at 1535°C (when at atmospheric pressure)
4. Water boils at 100°C (when at atmospheric pressure)
5. Human skin is comfortable with temperatures up to about 60°C
6. The highest temperature recorded on the Earth's surface is 58°C (Libya 1922)

Truly, this is all very scientific. And maybe the scientists of the world are wrong. Maybe Al Gore is right. Perhaps the inner earth core is several million degrees. Perhaps...we are a star.

Gore is the expert, you know. I mean, he made a movie and he gives speeches and stuff. And before that, well, he was a politician. He's the thinking man's thinking man, though he won't debate any thinking men.

Look deep into his eyes. He's definitely thinking about something. His next hamburger?

Why did Megan Fox's movie, "Jennifer's Body" tank?

"The movie is about a man-eating, cannibalistic lesbian cheerleader, and that pretty much eliminates middle America."

Megan Fox
actress and member of her own think tank


PS With a description like "man-eating, cannibalistic lesbian cheerleader", how could that movie not be an instant classic? Dumb middle Americans. Don't you understand that art is Megan Fox in a cheerleading outfit kissing other girls?

They hate her because she's you

Bernie Goldberg spells it out. The elitist liberal media hate Sarah Palin because she's common. She's from Middle America. Basically, she's you.



If you've never read any of Goldberg's books, I highly recommend them. They detail a very eye-opening view from behind the camera. The media didn't become liberally bias with the immaculation of Obama, they only got bolder because he's one of them.

Gore protesters outnumber supporters?

Sounds like it.

Poor Gore. All he's doing is preaching economic slavery using junk science disproved by tens of thousands of scientists while he feels self-righteous about his billion-dollar money making scheme.
Why would anyone reject that? Ingrates.



The Goracle's refusal to debate anyone with actual knowledge on the subject of carbon emissions and global climate has now landed him as the focus of a challenge, a good one. Will Gore show up to the after-school fight? Or jettison himself to a far distant land where he'll gorge on beef and toil around in his boathouse?

For years, Al Gore has steadfastly refused to debate the global warming issue. Most recently, he ignored a put-up-or-shut-up challenge on the Glenn Beck Show from climate policy expert Lord Christopher Monckton, a former British government adviser. Today, the Competitive Enterprise Institute hopes to change all that with the release of a new video campaign. In it, CEI offers Mr. Gore a $500 check, together with the proceeds of a world-wide email pledge-a-dollar drive, all aimed at persuading Mr. Gore to accept Lord Monckton’s challenge.

“To our knowledge, Mr. Gore hasn’t been in a debate since he ran for president,” said Sam Kazman, CEI General Counsel. “But given that he and his allies are seeking the biggest tax increase in history in the form of new energy taxes and rationing, he ought to at least have to courage to engage in a face-to-face defense of his position,” Kazman stated.

In case you missed it, here is Lord Monckton's charming British challenge to "debate" or "shut up". It's a beautiful thing.

ONION News: TOTUS malfunctions during dinner

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Obama's Home Teleprompter Malfunctions During Family Dinner

Terrorists, again, coming to NYC

Rudy says everything you need to know about KSM and other 9/11 terrorists being tried in civilian courts in New York City. I can't believe, except I can, that the Obama Administration will sell out our national security all to vilify America and take a political punch at the Bush Administration.

How dangerous. How petty. How pathetic.
You'll want to hear Rudy's entire interview. Point after point, he's ringing O's bell.





Love that Rudy. Fantastic interview, great passion. This man stood amid the smoke and tears and held the hands of his community and promised to bring justice. Now he's seeing justice tossed into the political arena for nothing more than screwed ideology.

In other words, politics are usurping the value of 2,975 lives.

UPDATE:

Hillary "not going to second guess any decision" that Attorney General Eric Holder made? In other words, she could but will refrain? She's being a team player but with less enthusiasm than one would expect.



It appears no one asked the New York Governor before buying KSM and his terrorist co-conspirators' tickets to NYC.

Gov. Paterson on Monday joined the chorus of critics questioning the government’s plan to try Kalid Shaikh Mohammed and four other accused 9/11 terrorists in New York.

“This is not a decision that I would have made,” the governor said when asked about the upcoming federal trial of KSM and his four underlings.

“Our country was attacked on its own soil on Sept. 11, 2001, and New York was very much the epicenter of that attack,” Paterson said after an appearance at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new CUNY campus in East Harlem.

“Over 2,700 lives were lost,” he went on. “It’s very painful; we’re still having trouble getting over it. We still haven’t been able to rebuild that site, and having those terrorists tried so close to the attack is going to be an encumbrance on all of New Yorkers.”

the real Guantanamo Bay

Crowder, it's possible I'm in love with you. You've outdone yourself.



Since Obama and the leftists love those terrorists, won't rest until they are brought to the US and wrap their arms around them, I've got a solution:
Let's release the terrorists on the mainland. Then ship all the Reagan conservatives to warm, tropical, military-staffed Gitmo.

And they all lived happily ever-after.

Palin on Oprah

Poor Oprah. Compared to Sarah, she doesn't look good. She doesn't look too happy, either. Where's that billion dollar smile?

This isn't the entire interview. I only found video posted on The Daily Beast of Sarah's top 7 moments. Do I take their word for it? No. So as soon as I find the entire interview, I'll post it.
Nonetheless, Sarah is as she always is - charming and real.


"The Perky One"


Levi's "Porn" choice


I love this one. Oprah attempts to get Sarah to praise Obama for saying children were off limits during the campaign. Sarah responds well. Yeah, she was happy. And then realized it only applied to Obama's children alone.


More about the wardrobe


the Election Loss


What talk show?


Running in 2012?


Why does the media hate Sarah? Because she is self-made. Despite their best efforts to destroy her, she's still going. In other words, she's more powerful by simply being herself. And they can't stand it.
That might also help you understand why they love Obama. Because he can't survive without them.

President Bend Over

What is wrong with him? Seriously. Why does Obama love bending over?



Heads of state, even those with similar cultures to Japan, do not bow to each other. Emperor Akihito of Japan knew better than to respond with a bow. Obama, however, did not. Here's a video to show appropriate protocol by 46 other country leaders. Watch and try and grit away your humiliation that this man is representing our country.



Even ABC can't hide from the humiliation, quoting their expert in Japanese Empire protocol said this:

“The bow as he performed did not just display weakness in Red State terms, but evoked weakness in Japanese terms….The last thing the Japanese want or need is a weak looking American president and, again, in all ways, he unintentionally played that part."

The left is trying to say Obama isn't the only American President who has bowed to Akihito. And this is the picture they are referring to:



Wow. Yeah. It's like a complete replica. Exactly the same.

UPDATE:

A senior administration official called the bow to Emperor Akihito a “sign of respect,” adding that the depth of the bow reflected “the level of respect.”

Right. Except it doesn't. In their culture, the bow to that level, with eyes on the ground, is a sign of weakness.
Different counties have different translations. Shouldn't the White House know this?
Here's an example: Emperor Akihito flips Obama off. When asked, Akihito's advisers say, "He was telling Obama that America is our number one ally, but with his middle finger because it's longer."
Uh, no. It doesn't work like that. And we'd all think Akihito and his advisers were idiots for not knowing the difference.

Here's the video because it's prettier in motion. Besides, it wasn't only one bow, it was about seven or more. His foreign visits would make a good drinking game - a shot for every bow. Only those with strong livers need apply.

Another global-warming atheist

Environmentalists need to pray to whatever it is they pray to - trees? aardvarks? fluffy clouds? - because more and more scientists are getting bolder in their denouncement of the global-warming religion.
I feel a chill.



Professor Ian Plimer, a geologist from Adelaide University in Australia, says 'blimey' to man-made global warming. Don't expect an invitation to any wine and cheese parties, Professor.

He blames temperature fluctuations on what actually controls our temperature: the sun. Weirdo. And says carbon dioxide in the atmosphere comes from volcanoes erupting. You mean nature controls the weather?

Paleeeeze. We control the weather. I run my SUV an extra three minutes every day so I can enjoy summer year round.

"We cannot stop carbon emissions because most of them come from volcanoes," he said. "It is a normal element cycled around in the earth and my science, which is looking back in time, is saying we have had a planet that has been a green, warm wet planet 80 per cent of the time. We have had huge climate change in the past and to think the very slight variations we measure today are the result of our life - we really have to put ice blocks in our drinks."

Did he just call us 'block' heads?

However Prof Plimer said the world has experienced three periods of cooling since 1850 and furthermore carbon dioxide was increasing during many of those cooler periods.

"If we had only had warming, then there would be a connect between co2 and temperature, there is not," he added.

Global warming takes time-off. Like smoke breaks.

"They (scientists) are taking advantage of the current situation. That is understandable. In previous times people got wonderful research grants in a war against cancer and they achieved a lot of money for that. Now we have a war on climate change and we have a huge number of people out there who have their career staked on it and are beneficiaries of this process."

This whole thing is about money? So not true. Look at Al Gore. He's only made roughly a billion off global-warming hysteria. That's not even enough to reimburse him for all the time he's spent in his private jet.

Crowder goes Gitmo

I cannot wait until Monday. This looks amazing. And, since it's Crowder, also entertaining.



Can you vacation at Gitmo?

Thank YOU isn't enough

They all tell me the same thing. Every time I've sat with a veteran, especially those legendary heroes from World War II, they all say the same thing, "I had it easy. There were a lot of men who gave so much more than me."
From around the world to across the battlefield, they've been to them all, each place a hell of death and a war for freedom. And still they honor their fellow soldiers more than themselves.

In my career, the hours I've spent with veterans has always been my highlight and my joy. So today, on Veterans Day, all I can say is "thank you." And it isn't enough.

Here's a WWII veteran tribute from Reason.TV. I dare you not to cry.



THANK YOU VETERANS. Each of you. My life has been possible because of you. I cannot repay the debt. All I can do is never forget, always honor, and forever fight for this great country and what it represents: the only home of freedom for mankind.

Hard on Muslims? I tell you what's hard, when Muslim clerics and the Muslim communities spur on and deify men and women who blow themselves up in civilian areas, capture Americans and slice off their heads, oh, and walk into a room with two handguns and mow people down.

That's tough. Getting teased? Getting questioned? Are you serious?

Here's the hardcore truth. The Islamic religion is wrong. Sorry, but it is. It's a false religion. It glorifies hate, female slavery, abuse, and poor self-value.
Millions of Muslims worldwide promote honor killings, where parents murder their own children, the enslavement of women, often punished with acid thrown into their face, and the public hanging of homosexuals. You think waterboarding is atrocious? Male and female prisoners in Muslim countries are gang raped repeatedly.

This religion, a misnomer for a cult, harbors and glorifies acts of terrorism, promoted and glorified by their worldwide religious leaders.

There are people, misguided people, inside the religion who do not agree with Islamic extremism. And the most compassionate thing we could do for them is highlight the atrocities of their religion, show them the truth of a compassionate and just Savior, and pray God pulls them out.

Instead, we'll keep ignoring the truth. So far, that action has crumbled two downtown buildings in New York, killed thousands, terrorized nations, and continues enslaving millions of their believers. Yet we keep doing it, feeling gloriously self-righteous about our tolerance.

If I can find it, I'll post an article I wrote about two years ago after an interview with a Muslim cleric who became a Christian. Now he works tirelessly to share that truth with his countrymen, to bring them real hope and a God who is loving, peaceful, and within grasp.
How was he reached? Well...that's an interesting story. Let's just say he had planned to murder two missionaries, and instead, they saved his life.
Truth gave him self-worth, freedom to live and not only die, a love uniquely for him alone. Do we really want men and women to live with bondage? You should see his face when he speaks of Jesus. Can you light someone from within? Why would we not want that for them all?

For the record, acts of violence against Muslims have decreased rapidly since 2001. In fact, religious hate crimes are higher against Christians and Jews. There's your dose of truth.

Math you can believe in

Back in the old days, two plus two equaled four. So predictable, so utterly exacting, there was never room for error. Or creativity.
Not anymore. Change has come. How much change? Who knows! It's incalculable. That's the thrilling part.

Math is the new truth. Truth is the old spin. And spin...what spin? I don't know of any spin.

Let's look at a few of Obama's "saved or created" job numbers implementing this new creative math. Forget addition or subtraction. This is Obamanomics, where numbers are here today, gone tomorrow, back again on Tuesday, and free to shift with the poll numbers on Thursday.

Begin your path to numerical enlightenment. For me, I'm starting with the income I claim on my taxes. Charlie Rangel showed me the way.


And now, your math lesson.

Exhibit 1: 508 = 935
- AP reports: A pay raise for 508 employees counts at 935 jobs saved.
Take the number of jobs not in danger of being lost, increase their pay by whatever percentage your stimulus funds allow, and that equals nearly twice the number of jobs saved, though that number didn't exist in the first place.
I do the same with my weight, only with division and subtraction.

Exhibit 2: 1,047/50 = 50
- New York Times reports: $1,047 for a riding mower at an Arkansas cemetery created or saved 50 jobs.
This is a great word problem lesson: If a cemetery can't afford 1K to purchase a riding mower, how can they afford to pay 50 people to mow it?
Answers in the back of the book.

Exhibit 3: 290 + 4.7 million = 473
- Chicago Tribune reports: $4.7 million to a North Chicago school saved 473 jobs where only 290 teachers are employed.
If x = "where those missing 183 jobs are" and the government has no idea that x does not equal 290, y should we continue to employ them? Bonus points to anyone implementing algebraic formulas to figure out where the government is sending all our money.

Exhibit 4: 26,174 = 450. Or, 6.
- USA Today reports: $26,174 grant fixed a fence and roofs in Texas, reportedly creating 450 jobs. Only, it didn't. The real number is 6.
This is called math dyslexia-and-multiplication-to-any-given-number disease. Treatments are available in the private sector, but only after liberals get out of government and get a real job.

Thank you for your attention. Tomorrow, we'll learn about unemployment percentages and the factors multiplying them monthly.

Top 10 stupid stimulus projects

Who is Joe Biden?

I wish I didn't know. I wish I could blissfully live in a world of cluelessness where the Vice-President isn't a buffoon of legendary portions. But that was last year. And now we have Joe Biden.

If you know who Joe Biden is, you rank among the more seriously informed. Seriously? Seriously.



If you can't name the people tasked with governing your country, should you be allowed to vote on who can best do the job? Should there be qualification beyond citizenship, like...can you spell your own name? And can you name the man one anorexic egotist's heartbeat away from the Presidency?
Nah. Here's a ballot. Just feel your way through it.

God in 60 Days....or your money back

Andrew Klavan. Dang. That's funny.



Christians aren't creative? Shush it. Instead of resorting to lewd sex jokes and, oh, more sex jokes, and then when we need another laugh, throwing in another joke about...hmmm...sex, Christian artists actually use this melon shaped mass located in their melon called....wait for it...their brain. That's right boys and girls. Their brain.

Today, sweating away at the only place where I can afford to watch cable - my gym, I caught the advertisement of a new show on some inconsequential network. What's the premise? It's about a college boy who...yep, has sex. That's it. He plays football and has sex. Nothing more to see here folks.
Isn't that entertaining! And creative! So creative. How do writers and producers and networks come up with these unfathomable narratives like a college boy obsessed with nothing but playing football and spreading STD's!?
It's pure genius.

I changed the channel before the advertisement ended. Then I threw up a little in my mouth.

O's infamous "shout out"

Obama bombed. Odd how similar those words are to each other.

When addressing the American people concerning the Fort Hood incident, he instead stuck to his scripted lighthearted speech until the teleprompter signaled it was time to cue the "heart felt" portion.



The American public, and the world, awaited word from the President to offer the only thing the man has ever accomplished: eloquence. Here's how the NBC affiliate in Chicago put it:

But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a "shout-out" to "Dr. Joe Medicine Crow -- that Congressional Medal of Honor winner." Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?

That would be Rahm Emanuel. E-M-A-N-U-E-L. Also Axelrod, one word.

Anyone at home aware of the major news story of the previous hours had to have been stunned. An incident like this requires a scrapping of the early light banter. The president should apologize for the tone of his remarks, explain what has happened, express sympathy for those slain and appeal for calm and patience until all the facts are in. That's the least that should occur.

The telepromter said "shout out", so the man gives a "shout out." Blame it on TOTUS.

Tim Slagle at BigGovernment.com penned an excellent column about this moment in comparison our previous President. It wins a full-portion posting and a set of ginsu knives.

Obama’s Pet Goat Moment
by Tim Slagle

For the Left, one of the most defining images of the previous administration can be summed up in three words “ My Pet Goat.”

my-pet-goat

If you remember, when President Bush was informed of the second plane crashing into the World Trade Center, while his photo op with school children at the Emma E. Booker elementary school was about to start. For the next several minutes, (much maligned by Michael Moore, in “Faranheit 9/11″) we saw a man confused by the situation. It has been joked about by comedians as him wanting to see how the story ended.

Every time I watch this footage, I always saw a strong man, who knew that twenty school children had looked forward to their chance to read to the President, for weeks. He decided they would not be disappointed. And knowing that this was an attack on the United States, the President did his best to neither disappoint nor alarm the children.

I’ve always imagined his narcissistic predecessor bolting straight out of the room and into a bunker, stepping over any children in his path. In reality, what could the President do? In that moment of confusion there really was nothing that could be done, other than have him sit there uncomfortably, and pretend that everything was normal. It takes a strong man not to flinch under adversity.

After he left the classroom, he went in front of the cameras, for what was supposed to be a prepared speech about education in America, and his initiatives. Instead, he went completely off-script, and directly into a speech that was most probably ad-libbed due to time constraints. He said that this is a difficult time for America, and promised to get the folks responsible.

Fast forward to last week. President Obama was also supposed to pose for a photo op, when possibly the biggest attack on US soil since September 11th occurred. While the other media still tries to sort out the motive for the shooting at Ft. Hood, I think most of us are pretty clear on what “Allah Akbar” means.

But there was no moment of reassurance from this President. Instead, he went into his prepared speech, and made a special point to give a “shout-out” to “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow” before he even addressed the issue.

In the President’s defense, I’m fairly certain that the “Shout-Out” had already been loaded into the teleprompter, and the tech didn’t know whether to delete it or not. The tech was obviously eMailed a Ft. Hood statement, but it took a while to get it up.

If you watch the video, you can see the clumsy transition (around 1:38). He stalls for a couple seconds while the new speech is being loaded: “Now, …I have to say though, ..that uhhh,…beyond that… uh I had planned to make some broader remarks, uh about the challenges that lay ahead for Native Americans as well as collaboration with our administration..”

Then suddenly his eyes lock on the right teleprompter as his Ft’ Hood statement begins to roll, and the stuttering stops: “uh but as some of you might have heard there has be a tragic shooting at the Ft. Hood Army base in Texas…”

I think this will be defining moment for this Administration. While he might be unclear on whether this was just a rampage, or an attack on the United States, I am certain that there is no question in the minds of the men and women of our military, that this event only differed from Pearl Harbor in scale.

And let it be known, that from this day forward, anytime a Leftie brings up “My Pet Goat” it will be retaliated with a “Shout Out to Dr. Joe Medicine Crow.”

20 years ago today the fall of Berlin Wall

Freedom prevailed. In the face of insurmountable odds and unfathomable evil, America and it's Western Europe allies brought about the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of Communism.
If we've forgotten or perhaps never learned, here's a reminder in breathtaking color:



I remember that morning. And I have my mother to thank.

It was just before school, I was in the bathroom finishing my hair. My mother called me to her bedroom, where she sat on the edge of her bed glued to the television.
That was an odd sight in itself. Mom was too busy in the mornings fixing breakfast and getting everyone out the door to stop.
Yet she stopped.
"Come in here," she yelled. "I want you to see this."
I walked in, seeing images of a large, graffiti enriched wall being busted into pieces.
"Never forget today. This is a monumental moment in history, Tara. Today, Communism died. Don't ever forget. Remember it. You'll understand the fullness of what this moment means as you get older."
And I did.

That moment, not fully understanding why this meant so much to my mother, I marked it in my memory. Something had happened that day. A shift had occurred. Freedom and goodness had overcome evil. People cheered and smiled and cried, a collaboration of relief and promise I could not grasp. I knew nothing but freedom. I understood nothing but individual rights.
Yet there they were, throngs of them climbing and chipping away at a brick wall, more aware of what I possessed than myself.

We haven't experienced the full extent of communistic oppression, though the fringe left thirsts for it. Despite the interference and dictations of government, we're still a free people, free in our very blood, and rightfully endowed with our Creator's plan for humanity.
It isn't far off, however. It isn't all that distant a memory until we, too, could forgo our most humanistic trait of being free, all in the name of compassion that kills and tolerance that imprisons. Our own President and Vice-President are too busy to attend this event, too otherwise occupied to honor the end of governmental slavery and death.

We, the people and breath of this great nation, cannot forget.

Therefore, like my mother before me, I implore you to remember this day. Remember the mark of this great victory. Remember the empty taste of freedom than never quenched until that oppressive wall crumbled into chalky dust. Remember that we once had a President who fought for such things, a President who earnestly believed in the right of mankind to govern themselves under God. A President who shouted the words that resonate across time and corrupt governance:

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Here is that infamous speech which sent the first crack into that cemented symbol of oppression.

And two years later, the wall came down.

Devout Muslim shooter liked strip clubs

All he wanted was a traditional Muslim wife. But until he found her, he spent his downtime paying for lap dances.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan came into the Starz strip club not far from the base at least three times in the past month, the club's general manager, Matthew Jones, told FoxNews.com.

One stripper recalls giving him two $50 lap dances on two consecutive nights in a private room in the back of the club. But hey, this was how he dealt with his distaste and abhorrence of Americans. He's a devout Muslim, remember? A truly religious man doing the work of God.

Hasan's presence at the club paints a starkly different portrait of the alleged killer from that offered by his imam and family members, who have described him as a devout Muslim, and one who had difficulty finding a wife who would wear a head scarf and would pray five times a day.

Why, oh why, couldn't one of those strippers been a praying stripper?

Hasan generally spent six or seven hardcore hours at the club. After a grueling day of sitting on his butt listening, he would subject himself to hours of naked women dancing. No wonder the man went on a shooting rampage, killing innocent and unarmed Americans. The stress of his life was too much. Too much, I tell you.

Planned Parenthood director now Pro-Life

Abby Johnson watched an abortion procedure. That's all it took. She left her job as the executive director of a Planned Parenthood facility and is now campaigning with the Pro-Life movement. Her description of that event will break your heart.

And my job was to hold the ultrasound probe on this woman's abdomen so that the physician could actually see the uterus on the ultrasound screen. And when I looked at the screen, I saw a baby on the screen. And she was about 13 weeks pregnant at the time. And I saw a full side profile. So I saw face to feet on the ultrasound machine. And I saw the probe going into the woman's uterus. And at that moment, I saw the baby moving and trying to get away from the probe...
And I thought, "It's fighting for its life."

Abby says if more Planned Parenthood clinic workers actually witnessed the procedure, they would be running for the door.

Keep talking Abby. God has given you a message in defense of life.

CBS: Christians nuts, too

“It’s looking more and more like he was just, sort of, a religious nut. And you know Islam doesn’t have a majority – or the Christian religion has its full, you know, full helping of nuts too."

That's right. Those darn nuns are always cutting people's heads off. And we can't keep Baptist preachers from suicide missions. I blame it on that radical Mother Teresa.

His imam: Hasan a hero

"Nidal Hassan is a hero."

That's how Hasan's former imam Anwar al Awlaki starts out his blog.



Hasan attended the same controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia as several 9/11 terrorists, under this same imam.


Do we see the pattern, yet?

Not according to the media. They still don't understand. What could possibly have been his motivation? It can't be because he's evil. It can't be because Islamic terrorists want us dead, no compromise. It can't possibly be because he is part of this death-obsessed cult.
No, it's because Hasan has prePost-Traumatic Stress Disorder - since Hasan has never been stationed anywhere overseas - or he has Secondary Trauma - where he experiences PTSD by listening to real wartime soldiers talk about their experiences.
Then I guess I have Secondary Trauma, too. I've interviewed dozens and dozens of returning military for newspaper articles. I've sat through stories, too. So I'm traumatized.

And I've listened to friends talk about their divorce, their illnesses, their disappointments and their heartaches. Imagine my trauma. I'm humming with it. I've also listened to people talk about experiencing road rage, buyer's remorse, pet peeves, and splinters.

Basically, we're all insane. And it's the fault of the military, Christians, and the vast right-wing conspiracy.

UPDATE:

Meet the Time reporter spinning the "Secondary Trauma" meme:

Could “Secondary Trauma” Have Driven Him to Shooting?

Noah Pollak - 11.08.2009 - 10:10 PM

So asks an absurd Time magazine story positing that Major Nidal Malik Hasan murdered a dozen people while apparently shouting “Allahu Akbar” because in his line of work — psychiatry — “there was no shortage of horrific tales that could have set loose the demons in Hasan’s mind.”

This shouldn’t be surprising coming from Tim McGirk. He went to Afghanistan after 9/11, had Thanksgiving with the Taliban, and wrote a long piece for National Geographic about what a great time he had and how we’re all just human beings doing our thing on this big blue marble, so let’s not judge. Then he went to Iraq and singlehandedly created the Haditha Massacre hoax. Then he went to Jerusalem and spent a few years slandering Israel. Now he’s trafficking in pop psychology on behalf of a likely domestic jihadist. It’s been quite a career.

Time to start investigating the media, too.
