PRIDE IN POLITICS?: MINNESOTA STYLE
NOT! The national political leadership has become, lately, terribly pathetic here in Minnesota; between our new U.S. Senator Al Franken, and Rep. Keith Ellison, the state of MN has elected two of the biggest liars within politics in recent times. Not to mention, a brewing problem with truth with Rep. Walz - more another time on that-- It's embarrassing, when the average voter says they want "change" ...I believe more, now than ever...they have no idea what the hell they are talking about. When voting for "change" means nothing more than saying i'll go along to get along, damn any consequences.
The guys at Powerline have been all over the shenanigans.

BJORN LOMBORG: A PERSON EVERYONE SHOULD READ!
I not only read him, I lived a surreal moment while on vacation in Italy; I recognized him as he was walking towards me, touring the Colosseum in Rome !! I stopped him and politely asked if he was Bjorn Lomborg-which I knew immediately- he smiled and said "yes, what's your name?" We went on to chat for a few minutes. He's an incredibly nice man. He was happy to have my wife snap a photo of us. Great fun!
Bjorn, if you ever see this post...thank you! And definitely drop a line.

FROM A HORSES MOUTH
So to speak. I'm more certain than not that Jimbo and others at BLACKFIVE have been through SERE training. If you're not familiar with SERE, enlighten yourself here.
Good piece...

SEA LEVELS: SOME INCONVENIENT FLATTENING
Wattsupwiththat gets it right -Link
National Geographic(above photo) gets it very wrong - as usual -Link
It's constantly frustrating to see/read the likes of National Geographic and other prominent scientific venues getting it wrong, CONSISTENTLY.
This frustration brought me to reread the definition of "science", which in part states that science is: "knowledge gained by systematic study" ...NOT systematic consensus!

WHAT'S GOING ON: WARRIORS TOIL
The boys at BLACKFIVE are doing some undescribable hard work for our military, their families, and beyond. My hat is off to them! Meeting Uncle Jimbo once was a treat for sure.CHICAGO NOT HELPING THE CLIMATE MODELING TRADE
Neither is Prince Edward Island...
It's news like this that makes me wish Algore had a talk radio show. WoW... wait, did I just accidentally discover why there are so few liberal radio talk shows??? Because on Conservative talk radio, there is real discussion...and real discussion ferrets out the BS ;)

$ 5,950
First Lady, Michelle Obama strikes again.I'll go so far as to say frankly, this is wrong in a number of ways for the Obama's(Michelle)to be trotting out an accessory on this scale...and basically showing it to the media photographers as she carries it in a very unnatural way.
Now, lets ask the question: Do I think it would have been ok for former First Lady Laura Bush to have been trotting out the same purse? Yes, absolutely. GW and Laura Bush are very wealthy, and have been since before becoming the the First family. The Obama's on the other hand, have been mortgaging their lifestyle for decades. They did come into a good bit of money with their book deals, but, lets get real here...a $6000 purse? to me, is far from cool, really pretty embarrassing.
So goes this piece, aptly, into the "do as I say, not as I do" category

WISHING FOR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE?
Think long and hard; keep your ears open. And stop telling everyone, "well that's just one person"--how many times are you going to repeat that answer before you stop lying to yourself and everyone else??

On California. America?
Obama better hope and pray for economic renewal in CA, because it is an economic model of what he's doing to this country.

“OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE, WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE”
Unfortunately, for some, the loss of a "Hero"And this from a friend of McNair's, Robert Gaddy: "People have certain things that they do in life," Gaddy told The Associated Press on Sunday. "We don't need to look on the situation at this time (but) on the fact we just lost a great member of society."
Sorry folks, when liars like this are considered "great members of society"...I believe society must take a long, hard look at itself.
If you're wondering, yes, I do have a problem with pro sports and the culture of pro sports therein. The people closest to these pro sports figures are the first clue to the blindness of our "hero" starved society.

ANTARCTIC SEA ICE CYCLES AND GROWS ??!!!
Don't tell Algore, he'll probably stab himself in the heart with a pencil. By the way, does anybody know when his new movie is coming out? I think it's called Unicorns:The Inconvenient Truth
:p
Great video animation...

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE CAP AND TRADE BILL...
...Obama's own Energy Czar hasn't even read the whole thing! She gets busted by Doocy BIG TIME!
You see folks, my biggest problem with the Hopenchange movement has been that it inherently requires no accountability or intellectual honesty...simply hope, trust, and cross your fingers. I never bought into it as a legitimate leadership trait and never will.
I want steak, not milquetoast.

PINHEAD: LETTERMAN EATS IT
Letterman's own political bent has him finally regretting he hasn't kept it classy...relatively. He needs to keep asking himself: WWJD - What would Johnny(Carson) do?
STUPID IS AS STUPID LEGISLATES
J. Goldberg; always masterful at showing how government will happily spend $10 to get $1 back...or less.

THE INSANE ARE RUNNING THE ASYLUM
It's things like this where I'm certainly on board with the "liberalism is a mental disorder" bandwagon. I challenge anyone to make the case for the county...
