   New federal office would study global warming
   THIS potential for massive waste (and junk science propaganda) should be a midterm issue

   How many, nearly bankrupt, state budgets have offices just like this? Studing something that doess not need to be and is never canceled? How many police and firefighters are cut to keep these special interest groups employeed? I bet if California, and the federal government ended these things that we would see them no longer in a budget crissi and have plenty of money to do the basics.

   I think I saw something about this in Mass. The reseacher found three commissions studing the same thing with a huge payroll.

   It is a shame that budget cuts never look at these things.

   This cannot be real.. The movie was very week. The charcaters lack common sence and were wicked annoying. The creepiest part of the movie was probably the fake exorcism part. Clearly fake, and not all the creepy. When the characters die off you kind of want to just say good your dumb ass deserved it. And when she gets shot at the end, clearly bad acting, you cannot help but laugh hysterically. So how this movie is all that scary is beyond me. If you can withstand the excorcism of emily rose, or the exorcist then this is a bubble factory. It was too long and boring. Never was I on the edge of my seat. But then again there is only some much you can do with a $6000 budget. But when you think about it, it can be soooooooo much better.

   £8BN BBC ECO-BIAS

   The £8billion pension fund is likely to come under close scrutiny over its commitment to promote a low-carbon economy while struggling to reverse an estimated £2billion deficit.

   Now we know why the BBC was AGW/AGCC’s water carrier, lap dog, stooge, and “journalists” without inegrity. We also know why they have changed their tune. Now that the IPCC/UN corruption and incompetence has been exposed, their survival instinct has kicked in.

   We also know why the other conspirators will not admit their culpability and bow out with what remains of their shredded dignity:

   World’s largest investors urge prompt action on climate change policies
   – dated 01/14/2010

   four groups representing more than 190 investors with more than US$ 13 trillion of assets

   The “green police” are well funded indeed. They are permitted free reign by the very institutions of governance that were designed to prevent subversion of the free market by people of disproportionate influence. We are fortunate that there exist competing interests, who are capable of correcting the imbalance introduced by the failure of bodies authorized to provide oversight of human activities. That is the raison detre for government, and it has been found negligent, at best, and criminal, at worst.

   Marx was a moron! The liberals/progressives who submit to his regurgitation of the old systems, are enabling, or are complicit in, an agenda which subverts our liberty and Creator-given rights. This is not capitalism, but greedy individuals without integrity who are willing to enslave humanity, in order to stuff their vaults and consolidate power. Marx’s delusions of a utopia, and its derivatives of communism, socialism, and the like, are nothing more than the establishment of an “elite” class with its supporters, who will subjugate the populace. This is the regression for which the liberals/progressives fanatically advocate. All those who profit from this insanity, will continue to preach the dogma of their cult. They are committed to, and inextricably entangled with, their delusions and profit, and will never yield.

   They placed their bets, gambled, and are now facing serious losses. A “wounded animal is most dangerous” comes to mind.

   Obama bows to Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko

   He’s doing it again. Is he asking Yushchenko to join him on the dance floor? Why else woud he bow to another head of state? Does he realize that he represents over 300 million people?

   First Lady Launches Campaign Against Childhood Obesity

   Everything old is new again.

   Still, she does deserve credit for reminding people.

   This is the health care reform people should support! Not by mandate, and not what the Democrats are peddling.

   But even the First Lady admits that government can only do so much.
   …
   What it really comes down to is parents giving their kids healthier options.

   Parents, time to choose between luxuries and your children.

   It all starts at home. Hopefully, the government will minimize their interference, and allow parents to be parents. This would be counter to the establishment, but even Michelle seems to get it. If only her husband could figure it out. Then we would experience the change people have been hoping for. A reversal of the progressive destablization and destruction of America.

   @Cory

   Your “movie review” is all well and good (thanks, I’ll skip it) but you seem to forget that we live in a world where people contemplate suicide because the world depicted in Avatar isn’t real.

   So people having panic attacks because of a cheaply made horror movie doesn’t make me cringe of have any form of pity for those morons.

   As Bill Hicks famously said: A moron’s dead, Fucking celebrate. I just felt the world get lighter! We lost a Moron! *dances around* We lost a moron…

   One other comment regarding Michelle’s initiative. It would be largely unnecessary, if the Department of Education wasn’t a complete and utter failure. The teachers must be held accountable for their conduct. The parents are primarily responsible for the success or failure of their own children. The government and union’s interference in the parental process must be removed.

   We are not facing a health care crisis. We are facing an educational deficiency. People must be empowered to help themselves. The progressive indoctrination of dependency, subverts self-sufficiency and is unsustainable. Instead of encouraging improvement, it advocates for mediocrity. A mediocre humanity to be “guided” by their superiors. That should take people back to the days of empire and kingdom.

   It would also help if people cared about their neighborhoods. There is little incentive, and high risk, to pursue a venture in a neglected community.

   So, Michelle proposes an initiative to compensate for the deficiencies in other initiatives. Round and round we go, with no progess to show.

   Meghan McCain Blasts Tea Party Movement, Palin on ‘The View’

   It’s innate racism, and I think it’s why young people are turned off by this movement
   …
   revolutions start with young people, not with 65-year-old people
   …
   This rhetoric will continue to turn off young voters, and anybody that says different is smoking something

   She is truly of the stupid kind. Her true nature is revealed and confirms that she is, in fact, a regressive (i.e., liberal/progressive). I blame her poor education. Why are some of the best funded schools, producing some of the worst educated people? Surely her education was not sabotaged due to insufficient funds.

   I almost feel sorry for John. It must be truly disheartening to have a daughter that does not respect you because of your age.

   The regressives created the game, set the rules, and now they are hesitant to play. Poor babies. By the way, regressives, it is too late to change the rules now. The game continues, and we will participate just long enough to end it, once and for all.

    A refer to the following as “The Tale of Two Journalists”.

    Bloomberg: Inventories at U.S. Wholesalers Unexpectedly Fall
    – dated 02/09

    Inventories at U.S. wholesalers unexpectedly fell in December following the biggest increase in more than five years, indicating distributors had trouble keeping up with demand.

    AP: Wholesale inventories fall more than expected
    – dated 02/09

    Businesses slashed wholesale inventories sharply in December, a much weaker showing than expected and a troubling sign that companies are still too pessimistic about the economy to begin restocking shelves on a sustained basis.

    The demand is so great, that businesses are too pessimistic to restock their shelves.

    That is logically exclusive. Unless, and this is a big unless, people have lost their minds.

    Which analysis do you accept, Bloomberg or AP?

    Pielke, Sr.: Comments On The New National Climate Service

    The statements by Jane Lubchenco and the appointment of Tom Karl as the transitional director, assures that policymakers will continue to receive an inappropriately narrow view of our actual knowledge with respect to climate science.

    So, the charade continues. A bureaucracy created, jobs invented.

    “Although the natural causes of climate variations and changes are undoubtedly important, the human influences are significant and involve a diverse range of first- order climate forcings, including, but not limited to, the human input of carbon dioxide (CO2). Most, if not all, of these human influences on regional and global climate will continue to be of concern during the coming decades.”
    – Pielke, Sr.

    He is not a “denier”, but he is skeptical of the IPCC’s agenda. Why exclude other first-order causal forces? Why exclude conflicting evidence and counter-arguments? He may ultimately be proven wrong, but he does have a rational approach to analyzing the Earth system. As long as he remains open to the possibilities, he will continue to be a useful resource in scientific discovery.

    Now, if we can just extricate the tentacles of politicians, and the undue influence of activists and other special interests, then climate science may actually become interesting again. We don’t need Al Gore-cle and his followers to sabotage a meaningful investigation of the world we live in. If nothing else, we just may learn something about our little blue marble.

    “The IndyMac slap in the face”

    The government enabled the financiers to profit at our expense, and now they, along with their complicit journalists without integrity, are covering for them, and deflecting responsibility. So much for the free market system. We barely knew thee.

    Mauser, who do you think is to blame, our public servants, or are the private financiers equally culpable? It is only our government which has been authorized by the people to provide oversight. So, I tend to primarily blame our public servants. While the financiers are criminals, the public servants could be considered traitors for betraying their oaths of office.

    We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
