Hypocrisy In Action ... Just Scroll Down and Watch the Videos

SEE HERE Now I have to admit that I think all presidents tend to do this, but this guy has more hubris and hypocrisy than most. He opposed the escalation of the Irag commitment called the surge and now that it has worked he wants credit. Why doesn't he blame Bush? At least in this case he'd be right. What a hypocrite! Here's the last one, the kicker.

What a bunch of phonies. How can you justify being against a policy and then taking credit when the policy you were against succeeds? Fundamentally sleazy.

The Loons Are Still Pushing the Agenda

SEE HERE This gets funnier and funnier if you don't take it too seriously. Let me see. The agenda appears to be to generate a new model since the old model isn't being bought anymore. Now what I'd like to see is some data, any old real data that closely links CO2 emissions to significant warming and then moreover shows that the fossil fuel combustion is a significant contributor. This stuff seems crazy to me because the effect is small, the ability of man to change the effect is smaller still and no one has established that human beings are causing the effect in the first place, but the proto-tyrants go on and on about it manufacturing a crisis. Bull!

Here is some other material HERE and HERE The first reference basically says that climate models suck. They don't retro-predict so they can't forward predict. In the modeling world this is called validation and it means the models don't validate. The second reference refers to an entirely different theory of the driving functions for global warming that implicate cosmic rays HERE If this is true as it likely is then CO2 will disappear. I share the comment of the first commenter on this paper: "Hot diggety dawg! Climate SCIENCE for a change."

Those Who Fail to Learn From History Are Doomed to Repeat It

SEE HERE Today's Delancey Place describes the horrors of Smyrna. As we keep talking about the religion of peace we should be collecting the stories of what the religion of peace has done to those who have gone before us. The reality is very different from what you are being told. Meanwhile, resist the erection of a mosque at ground zero! CHECK HERE for more on the ground zero mosque.

Sessions on Kagen: She's Totally Unacceptable

That's a fair and independent analysis of the nominee.

Worth a Think or Two

SEE HERE A friend of mine posted this and I thought it was an interesting take on a college education. It's important to get something worthwhile out of the huge investment that a college education represents. The seven points here are worth pondering. Most kids don't make nearly as good use of the college opportunity as they should. I'm not sure that deferring the process a couple of years with some intervening learning experiences like a stint working at a subsistence level job or some time in the military doesn't send the message loud and clear that you have to buckle down ... the gravy train is over. Soon you have to be a grown up.

Thomas Sowell follows up ...

SEE HERE Thomas Sowell gives an Economics 101 explanation why stimulus spending doesn't really stimulate. The fact that we have an administration in power that doesn't understand this explains in part at least their irresponsible spending. They don't understand money or wealth or where it comes from. But then most of them have never had a truly productive job in their lives so perhaps that is no surprise. One thing we ought to be doing is making sure fundamental economics is taught to our children so they can recognize economic nonsense when they hear it.

Duty, Honor, Country

Some men know what that means. Unfortunately all too many have forgotten. November Is Coming!
