Barack Obama either can’t handle the truth or can’t answer tough questions. Whatever the case, he’s attempting to duck the issue of his Racist pastor and close, spiritual adviser, Jeremiah Wright, by posting his “thoughts”
(ghost written, no doubt) on the racists pap Wright has spewed in the name of God on the Huffington Post.What a complete coward!
Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s affinity for bigger government is causing damage to the U.K. economy. A news report reveals that companies are fleeing to jurisdictions with friendlier fiscal rules. Switzerland is a major beneficiary, as are Bermuda and the Netherlands. Read it for yourself here.
True believers from the Holy Church of Global Warming may not want to read this, it will be like when you learned there was no Santa. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has determined that “The average temperature across both the contiguous U.S. and the globe during climatological winter (December 2007-February 2008) was the coolest since 2001.”
More than they have discovered: “The combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the 16th warmest on record for the December 2007-February 2008 period (0.58°F/0.32°C above the 20th century mean of 53.8°F/12.1°C). The presence of a moderate-to-strong La Niña contributed to an average temperature that was the coolest since the La Niña episode of 2000-2001.”
So, the earth is getting cooler, not warmer, as the infamous “Hockey Stick” chart above claimed it would.
Speaking of that chart, here is a very interesting story of how it was completely proven to be a lie. Turns out “…several studies cast doubt on the accuracy of the hockey stick, and in 2006 Congress requested an independent analysis of it. A panel of statisticians chaired by Edward J. Wegman, of George Mason University, found significant problems with the methods of statistical analysis used by the researchers and with the IPCC’s peer review process. For example, the researchers who created the hockey stick used the wrong time scale to establish the mean temperature to compare with recorded temperatures of the last century. Because the mean temperature was low, the recent temperature rise seemed unusual and dramatic. This error was not discovered in part because statisticians were never consulted.”
So before you sell all your earthly possessions and give the proceeds to Al Gore for a ticket on the ship following in the Hale-Bopp comet’s tail, you might want to try and investigate the truth for yourself. Maybe start with studies NOT conducted by governments or NGO’s with an anti-freedom, anti-Capitalist agenda.
Question – is this how they teach Democrats to spell at KU?
Very interesting analysis on Spitzer here. We tend to agree…
There doesn’t seem to be a left-wing conspiracy Jeremiah Wright doesn’t wholeheartedly buy into, as long as it’s the United States pulling the stings and keeping poor and/or black people down. Barack Obama has to do a hell of a lot more than just simply brush him off as a sort of crazy uncle who says some stuff he disagrees with, he has to wash his hands of this guy and explain how he could frequent the church of and seek council from a man who says things like this:
“We’ve got more black men in prison than there are in college,” he began. “Racism is alive and well. Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run. No black man will ever be considered for president, no matter how hard you run Jesse [Jackson] and no black woman can ever be considered for anything outside what she can give with her body.”
Mr. Wright thundered on: “America is still the No. 1 killer in the world. . . . We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns, and the training of professional killers . . . We bombed Cambodia, Iraq and Nicaragua, killing women and children while trying to get public opinion turned against Castro and Ghadhafi . . . We put [Nelson] Mandela in prison and supported apartheid the whole 27 years he was there. We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.”
His voice rising, Mr. Wright said, “We supported Zionism shamelessly while ignoring the Palestinians and branding anybody who spoke out against it as being anti-Semitic. . . . We care nothing about human life if the end justifies the means. . . .”
Concluding, Mr. Wright said: “We started the AIDS virus . . . We are only able to maintain our level of living by making sure that Third World people live in grinding poverty. . . .”
Not being able to find your keys is frustrating, no doubt, but having to walk around with these things on your face would be worse than any humiliation associated with being late because you couldn’t find them. Check out the story.
It would have been really easy to pick soon to be ex-Governor Eliot Spitzer or even his prostitute Ashley Dupre as this week’s winner of the coveted Douchebag of the Week Award. They are both deserving and world-class douchebags, but we demand a certain standard for this award that they don’t meet. No, this week’s winner is the Gwinnett County Georgia Police Department, the whole department.
Why would a police department win this, you ask? First off, let there be no ambiguity, we are strong supports of police, they are people to be admired, but that doesn’t mean some of them aren’t douchebags.
The Gwinnett County Police are douchebags because they gave a ticket to Rhonda Wilson for driving on an expired license. Now, driving on an expired license is a crime, but Rhonda is a woman with cerebral palsy who uses a motorized scooter to get around, not a car. She was riding her scooter down the street to her work, which is one mile away, and was in the street because there are no sidewalks there. The Gwinnett County police told the local CBS station “… for the past two years they’ve received complaints about Wilson as she tools down the street. There are no sidewalks and officers said her wheelchair impedes the flow of traffic.”
Poor babies! The woman is on the road for ONE MILE, and it’s highly unlikely that she’s zig-zagging in the lane, she’s staying to the right.
Having been stripped of her usual ability to get to work, Rhonda will now be forced to pay for city transit to come and pick her up because she was told she would be arrested if she did it again.
Cerebral Palsy is a horrible disease that is very debilitating, but don’t tell that to Gwinnett County Police, they have complaint phone calls to deal with. I
Congratulations to the Gwinnett County Police Department, your inability to handle a situation with common sense and compassion has earned you the title of Douchebag of the Week!
You’d think Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would simply cough up the cash and pay for a revote in Michigan and Florida. After all, this is the party that is always screaming about how this person or that person didn’t get their vote counted, though only when their side loses, so why not do it over and give everyone a shot? The reason is simple; each side wants to cook the books so they have an advantage.
Obama wants a caucus because, well, he wins those. His voters are younger or rich, therefore more able to take time out of their day to hang around someplace for hours to be counted. They are also much more likely to be motivated by pretty speeches than the actual words that make up those speeches. That’s the only real excuse for someone who has ducked every remotely difficult interviewer out there and only speaks in platitudes to be ahead of anyone, except Dennis Kucinich.
Hillary wants a primary because, well, she does better in those. Hillary’s supporters are working stiffs who have time to pop in and push a chad, but would rather get home after work than hang out and argue in a caucus. The ability to vote at any time in a huge window throughout the day is ideal for her supporters.
Plus, both states are not caucus states, they’re primary states, so Clinton has the better argument there, too.
And if they can’t come to an agreement, she has a better case for allowing the original votes to count. Obama was on the ballot in Florida and she spanked him. Even though neither officially campaigned in the state, Florida has cable and satellite, people knew what was going on in the country.
Obama wasn’t on the ballot in Michigan because he took himself off. That’s the problem with entering into an agreement with a Clinton. If Obama can be fooled by a Clinton, what do you think Hugo Chavez or Kim Jong-Il will be able to do to him (that he won’t willingly give them). But 40 percent did vote for uncommitted, Clinton would offer to give him those, which would be sensible.
Obama has to avoid the appearance of looking like he’s the one blocking a revote because it will give the impression that he doesn’t want Florida and Michigan to have their say officially. Well, he doesn’t. He’d have difficulty in those states, which is why Clinton won them the first time and why she’s for a revote now.
But if he ends up looking like he’s blocking them, that will give Hillary a great case to the superdelegates to vote for her to replace the disenfranchised. Or it the DNC will simply seat the delegates the way they were voted, if Obama stands in the way of a new vote.
Either way, Obama is screwed.
Much better to take his lumps and get the delegates he would get in a revote, since the Democrats seem to divide them up in such a childish, stupid way, and go into the convention with the victim card off the table for Hillary. Because if there’s one thing a Clinton knows how to play, it’s the victim card.
