Overnight Stupidity
So Obama was experienced before the election and turned into an idiot after he won? That did not take long. Big surprise, the guy cannot even produce a decent birth certificate. How tough is that? Illegal Mexicans are getting forged papers all the time! He has got to know some criminal types in Chicago, right?
It Could Happen Here
A Mumbai type attack is not out of the question, especially with the edge they gain from COTS technology. Especially in large urban areas with strict firearm control. All the more reason every American should be armed and trained. It is one situation to shoot civilians while a small military force pursues you. It is quite another situation if a good portion of the civilians you are trying to shoot are shooting back.
More Global Warming Manure
Using computer models to determine the effect of man-made global warming, and so to potentially sue oil and power companies. It is using computer models people, not measurements. On this basis I think we could create computer models of the economy that would allow us to sue Democrats for their impact of the stock market. This could get fun!
Go Illinois!
The Governor is in a spot of trouble. At least they did state his party affiliation up front.
Go Pakistan!
Just keep trying to piss off everyone. Pakistan does not want to aid in the fight against terrorism. Surprise. Morons.
Unions
They have a blog. After some of the experiences that TUFF McFU went through with the unions, union tactics are nothing less than underhanded. They are not looking for a straight up deal, they are trying to appeal to your greed and fear in order to get you to sign up. Once you are in your are stuck. Sure, the UAW got huge pay and such for workers at the Big Three. And you are now seeing the fruits of their labor, total annihilation.
That Is Irony
Indeed:
Chapter 11, bust the union, end of troubles. What is wrong with that plan?
NY Times Funny Of The Day
This is hilarious:
LOL! Mr. Vlasic, were you even alive back then? Fuel-efficient? Yes, given the lighter, under powered vehicles they produced. High-quality vehicles? Oh please! Datsuns came in three colors rusted, horribly rusted, and rust pile. The metal would last about six months before being perforated by reduction-oxidation. High-quality they were not. But that Japanese manufacturers did not just keep making crap, they adapted and overcame.
And now they have overcome the American automotive industry. Why? Because of the two factors that GM, Ford, and Chrysler cannot control in building cars, the unions and the government. When an autoworking union forklift operator makes $103,000 a year in the US while the average wage for forklift operators across the country is $26,000, then the government backed unions are going to kill the hell out of the auto industry. You can thank the draconian laws that permit the unions to operate the way they do for the collapse of this industry.
All Right You Global Warming Wackos!
This is not the best way to sway someone in an argument, but dang it, this issue is so full of people jumping off in the wrong direction that it makes suicidal lemmings seem shy, reserved, and steadfast in comparison. SLAPSHOT sent over a link on the GROWTH OF SEA ICE. That is correct, growth, of, sea, ice. But even this article has some of the most atrocious use of the written English language, and this criticism from a man who does not consider himself highly skilled in the art. Consider:
That anomaly had been negative, indicating ice loss, for most of the current decade and reached a historic low in 2007.
That is correct, folks. The amount of sea ice apparently hit an historic low in 2007. HISTORIC! LOW! And Webster’s defines historic as:
a: famous or important in history <historic battlefields> b: having great and lasting importance <a historic occasion> c: known or established in the past <historic interest rates> d: dating from or preserved from a past time or culture <historic buildings> <historic artifacts>
So this sounds important, an HISTORIC LOW IN SEA ICE (doom, doom)! But the article itself points out that the vast history of recording the amount of global sea ice as been going on for nearly ten thousand, five hundred, ninety-two days. Indeed! The numerous bureaucrats in the sea ice amount measuring community have been collecting data on the amount of global sea ice in the seas all around the globe for nearly a whopping 30 years. For a total of thirty seasonal cycles it has been determined that the low point in thirty data samples should be considered a RECORD HISTORIC LOW. Mr. Fu has spend more time writing this article to this points than it would require him to analyze and reduce this data.
And here it the crusher in all of this. The source of all the doom and gloom about the impending man-made global wamring disaster are just computer models that keep getting it wrong:
“Not anticipated by any current climate model?” What the heck does that mean? The computer models are not anticipating correctly? I thought these models were created by the most brilliant minds! How could they have deceived us so, with their faulty computer models? What other predictions are they getting wrong? The predictions of an ever rising, Earth killing temperature increase? Of Obama’s ability to single handedly make the economy better?
1933
There is a distinct 1933 feel about this point in America. I hope we are vastly wrong on this. But Hayek had very interesting things to say about the ways of democracy not preventing totalitarianism….
What Will Not Work
Farah Was Not And Is Not Wrong About McCain
Unfortunately. Farah is right, McCain’s lack of setting the record straight on the hacks in his campaign with regards to Sarah Palin only highlights all the issues we have had with McCain all these years. RINOs will be RINOs Mr. Fu supposes.
No Taxation Without Representation
Is this idea entirely dead? So what happens when a majority of the voters do not pay taxes? Do the minority tax payers really have representation at that point?
What Hath They Wrought?
Mostly crap, misery, and destruction. METAPHOR sums up the hippy condition:
Bork as some interesting insights into the period in Slouching Towards Gomorrah. But METAPHOR continues:
This probably blows the boundaries on fair use, but METAPHOR frames this so well.
More Reading For Obama
Not that he’ll would understand….
Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, ‘This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.
– 1 Samuel Chapter 8
Obama Should Read This
” A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of the laborer the bread he has earned. This is the sum of good government. …” – Thomas Jefferson
