Environightmare

A very interesting insight of how much imbecile people can get if anything gets done to them in the name of the environment.

Economically Moribund Feudal Backwater

"Why squander your presidency on trying to turn an economically moribund feudal backwater into a functioning nation state when you can turn a functioning nation state into an economically moribund feudal backwater?"

Even higher CO2 in the Ice Age

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

Don't mean to pile on here, but yes, our CO2 levels have been rising. They're currently at a whopping level of 360 ppm, which is higher than they've been for some time now. But if we go back a few years, say to the Ordovician Period, which was but a mere 450 million years ago, the CO2 levels then were at 4,000 ppm. Funny thing is, this was during a major ice age. So how on earth did CO2 levels get so high back then when there was no "man-made" warming. Let me guess, the climate models were all wrong.

Just Another Day

Here is something to write about on the subject of the NFL and Rush........If I recall the details correctly, Arizona was the only state to allow their citizens to vote on whether the gov't employees should get a paid day off or not, and call it Martin Luther King day. They voted it down. Not the recognition, just the idea of giving state employees another paid vacation.

The NFL yanked the Super Bowl from Phoenix as punishment.

Someone from Arizona called the NFL offices on MLK day on a hunch. Turns out the it is just another day for NFL employees . A spokesman said that it is a busy time of year for them, so they can't honor MLK by giving their workers the day off.

Nobel Prize for Peace... here we go again, and again, and again....

I wanted to write something witty and teasing about the recent decision of the Nobel Prize Committee to give the Nobel Prize for Peace to Barack Obama but I prefer to link to an exceptional post by the one man global content provider, Mr Mark Steyn.

But... one more thought about this "Prize"... I have an omen about the 2010 prize: Ahmadinejad... so much for appeasement boosting with a sprinkle of hopeychanging!

UPDATE 01: So the White House has declared that Obama said he accepts the Prize with "humility", yeah.... about that... it doesn't really work that way. Especially with the concept of "humility". You can be humble and behave likewise but you cannot preemptively tag yourself "humble" and expect people to stop judging on their own and use your suggestion instead.

UPDATE 02: About the "Wow!" supposedly pronounced by Obama at the moment of receiving news of the victory of the Prize; so the candidacy to the Nobel Prize had as a deadline a couple of weeks after he started to govern at the White House... So that probably explains the WOW, since this is a hopeychangey presidency then also the Prize must have been for having done nothing... Oh yeah... the Great Orator (except when the teleprompter is offline) talks and talks about milk and honey scenarios of peace, love and understanding... but what he's done is less than nothing, he literally screwed up the relationship with some of America best allies, while appeasing the worst dictators around,

Again Steyn is funnier than me:

I assumed this was a reference to his rip-roaring success in winning the Olympic Games for Rio, but as it turns out the deadline for Nobel nominations was way back on February 1st.

Obama took office on January 20th. Gosh, it’s so long ago now. What “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy” did he make in those first 12 days? Bowing to the Saudi King? Giving the British Prime Minister the Wal-Mart discount box of “Twenty Classic Movies You’ve Seen A Thousand Times?”

“Er, Barack, I’ve already seen these.” “That’s okay. They won’t work in your DVD player anyway.”

For these and other “extraordinary efforts” in “cooperation between peoples,” President Obama is now the fastest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in history. Alas, the extraordinary efforts of those first 12 days are already ancient history.

UPDATE 03: "I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize." - yeah...about that... I'm pretty sure that going on that road maybe one day he'll be of the same caliber of Al Gore, Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter, Arafat... he just needs to take inspiration from Jimmy Carter and great advices from his foreign policies adviser (Zbgniew Brzezinski).

Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant heard by the Canadian Parliament

And so it happened.... I'm not sure the Canadian MPs that "listened" to Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant really understood the words the said, the concept they expressed and explained in so many different ways till you stop and think that maybe the whole hearing itself is simply useless, cos maybe Canadian authorities should and must be intelligent enough to realize by themselves that Section 13 is an abomination because I take it that to ask for them to be intelligent enough to never had legislated for it is surely asking too much from them.

































Here is the official transcript.
Here is an interview by Rob Breakenridge to Mark Steyn.
