Global Warming and The Downing Street Memo

In the run up to the second Iraq war, there came to light a document which came to be know as the “Downing Street Memo.”  The crux of this document is that it reflected the author’s concerns that the culture in the White House at the time was such that there was only one right [...]

Why I Hate The Environment

They took out the paper towels in the bathroom to save paper, and replaced it with an electric blow dryer thing. Ah, but wait, to save electricity, it is a low power “green” dryer that essential wafts a warm breeze over my hands. I want enough wind power to peel skin cells off the back [...]

Global warming continues to wreak its deadly havoc

Winter storms stretch to New England The storms have cut power to tens of thousands of homes, glazed roads and been blamed for at least five deaths. Thus, of course, further emphasizing the desperate need for drastic measures to combat global warming, such as spending millions of the creation of the position of  a global [...]

I got yer global warming right here, pal.

Region paralyzed by snow Snowplow crews worked furiously Thursday against a wintry onslaught that dropped record amounts of snow over the Inland Northwest, repeating a pattern left from the brutal 2007-’08 winter. At nearly 2 feet, the snow was so deep that it forced Spokane crews to focus on major arterial routes in an effort to [...]

For the good of the collective…

Update:  I’m not the only one who thinks this. Resistance is futile? Coming from the demographic that has historically been the most vein-in-the-forehead, screechingly, spittle-fleckingly opposed to a draft for the military, one has to wonder why the new standard bearer for the Progressive Utopian VisionTM is now marketing the idea of compulsory service as [...]

This just in…”Bad weather is caused by lack of funding.”

Climate change scientists and researchers who rely on Government grants for their livelihood, are apparently insisting that more government grants are needed to adequately study climate change.  Shocking, I know. Scientists: U.S. not prepared for severe weather, climate change  {insert sirens, screaming, clips of black and white 1950′s B-movie disaster films, giant mutant ants eating police [...]

Saddleback and Obama

A day late and a dollar short, but that’s my usual M.O. anyway. I didn’t get to watch all of the interview, debate, whatever it was with Rick Warren and the two presumptive presidential nominees, but I did get to see enough of both segments to get a representative taste of it all. What I [...]

Nobel Peace Prizes – Also available in boxes of CrackerJacks.

Okay, so me, being the easily confused sort of individual that I am, I’m having a bit of a hard time figuring out how you get awarded the Nobel Peace for a PricePrize for “raising awareness about the grim, awful, terrible, inevitable, crushing, life-destroying, people-caused specter of global warming,” not too long after your “acclaimed [...]

This is madness! This is SPARTAAAAA!

Just so we’re clear, charging people an additional $0.50 per GALLON of gas as an “incentive” to conserve gas and thus help fight against global warming is akin to the same sort of bullshit that had people dumping bales of tea in Boston Harbor 200 some-odd years ago.  That’s an extra 10$ on every 20-gallon tank of gas we’re already [...]

“Utopia is only one Non-Governmental Organization away.”

Now, we all know that in this world, there are just two kinds of people: 1) Those who value the environment, those who understand the danger of global warming and capitalist over-consumption, who understand the felt-needs of the downtrodden and disenfranchised, and are willing to provide whatever entitlements and social programs are necessary, regardless of [...]
