Quote of The Day
"As the Democratic grinches get ready to vote on the despised, destructive, and chaotic health care bill, they've been trying to dress this fruitcake up with distortions, distractions, and a big red bow. But with almost 60 percent of the American people opposing their incoherent mess, the Democrats are trying desperately to convince us that nothing says merry Christmas like socialized medicine and higher taxes."

"Americans, generally speaking, don't approve of that kind of behavior [characterized by Sen. Al Franken cutting off Sen. Joe Lieberman while speaking on the Senate floor]. But that's what we often get from the far left. Just look at their websites. Look at the savages spewing venom on cable television. Yes, it's true the right does some of that kind of stuff as well, but not nearly as much as the far left. I see the transcripts, ladies and gentlemen. I know who's saying what."

Quote of The Day
"There is no question that millions of Americans are fed up with both established parties and want something new, something vibrant, something that reflects values and beliefs they have. To say that a Tea Party or a Bull Moose Party or whatever should not be established because it would help a sitting liberal president is anti-democratic. We need more choices in America because the same old-same old is not working. So three cheers for three parties. Whatever the new party is called, it can't do any worse than the old parties. Can it?"
Copenhagen climate summit: 140 private jets, 1,200 limos. 5 hybrids.
Andrew Gilligan examines the hypocrisy: Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. “We haven’t got enough limos in the country to fulfil the demand,” she says. “We’re having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden.”
And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? “Five,” says Ms Jorgensen. “The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don’t have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it’s very Danish.”
The airport says it is expecting up to 140 extra private jets during the peak period alone, so far over its capacity that the planes will have to fly off to regional airports – or to Sweden – to park, returning to Copenhagen to pick up their VIP passengers.

'SNL' Destroys Obama Over Spending
Not only timely and topical, but genuinely funny. And unlike the last time they hit him hard, this attack comes from the right. Who knew they had it in ‘em?
Actually, spending is only a secondary concern here. The chief target is The One's disintegrating credibility in selling his statist agenda. Never would I have guessed that the great orator's inability to explain cost savings in ObamaCare would be the subject of late-night mockery this late in the game. No wonder his numbers are at new lows nationally and in the swing state that propelled him to the presidency.
Below the Obama clip you'll find last night's obligatory dig at Palin - although even that one's framed as coming from the DNC and Keith Olbermann, which makes it a double-edged gag about the left's Palin Derangement Syndrome. Is SNL trending ... conservative?
Quote of The Day
"it is the economy that will define whether or not Barack Obama is successful and whether conservatives can mount a comeback against him... The current recession is painful, but if the USA goes bankrupt like California, there will be revolt in this country. So it is time to put all the social engineering on hold and get back to sound economic principles. The right wants to do that. The left does not. Therein lies the struggle. At this point, conservative America is regaining momentum and the left is on the defensive."

ClimateGate: Both sides of the pond demand probes into data manipulation scandal
I blogged the ClimateGate scandal last week. It keeps going — and growing. There are calls on both sides of the pond for an investigation into data manipulation. A former British lord is demanding an independent inquiry:This morning Lord Lawson, who has reinvented himself as a prominent climate change sceptic since leaving front line politics, demanded that the apparent deception be fully investigated.
He claimed that the credibility of the university’s world-renowned Climatic Research Unit – and British science – were under threat. “They should set up a public inquiry under someone who is totally respected and get to the truth,” he told the BBC Radio Four Today programme. “If there’s an explanation for what’s going on they can make that explanation.”
Around 1,000 emails and 3,000 documents were stolen from UEA computers by hackers last week and uploaded on to a Russian server before circulating on websites run by climate change sceptics. Some of the correspondence indicates that the manipulation of data was widespread among global warming researchers.
One of the emails under scrutiny, written by Phil Jones, the centre’s director, in 1999, reads: “I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie, from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.” Prof Jones has insisted that he used the word “trick” to mean a “clever thing to do”, rather than to indicate deception. He has denied manipulating data.
Here in the U.S., GOP Sen. Jim Inhofe — a longtime watchdog over the global warming mob — has also called for a probe

Contrary To Theory, Atmospheric Carbon Soaring But Global Warming Isn’t
New evidence suggests that the correlation between atmospheric carbon and warming may not be as clear as previously believedGlobal warming is an extremely sensitive topic. Some ardently believe that man is pushing our planet towards global ruin, while others believe that proponents of anthropogenic warming theory are pushing the global economy towards financial ruin. Surprisingly, though, the evidence is not as black or white as either group would like you to believe.
A recent study looking at atmospheric carbon when combined with a recent summary of global atmospheric temperatures over the past 30 years sharply illustrates this uncertainty.
Why do I have a feeling Al Gore won’t be happy about this part:
With the international community puzzling over expensive climate change legislation, it is important to consider carefully what landmarks by which to gauge “success” amid the uncertainty of cyclic variation. Furthermore, critics and proponents aside, the wisest approach seems to be to avoid schemes that throw money into the wind, such as carbon trading or carbon sequestration.
The Copenhagen talks are going nowhere.
Gore Employs Photoshop to Push Warming Agenda… Shrinks Florida
A midget Southern Hemisphere cyclone is off the coast of Florida, another hurricane is sitting on the equator off the coast of Peru — and the Arctic Ice is gone (perhaps it is summer) and the Florida Peninsula is half goneWith the increasingly discredited notion of man-made global warming crashing and burning on a daily basis, climate alarmists are being forced to accelerate their fearmongering to unprecedented levels. With the evidence failing to match up to the doomsday proclamations, Al Gore has turned to photoshop in order to make a CO2-choked earth look scary enough to sell his cap and trade scam.
The latest example of climate cult fakery comes in the form of the front cover of Al Gore’s new book, Our Choice; A Plan To Solve The Climate Crisis.
Shortly after the devastation of Katrina, Al Gore was busy making a correlation between hurricanes and global warming in an effort to drive home his claim that higher global CO2 emissions cause an increase in extreme weather events. The cover art for Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, features an image of a hurricane rising out of a smoke stack.
Seemingly underwhelmed that there have been no major hurricanes since Katrina, along with the fact that global hurricane activity is now at a thirty year low, Gore came up with an ingenious method of solving the problem of the lack of scary depictions of frightening hurricanes to display on his book – simply airbrush them in!
And where the heck is Cuba? Read the article… Warning! It’s from Prison Planet, so if that bothers you more than the content of the article, then there is nothing to see here.
Bill to audit the Fed passes Committee hurdle
In an unprecedented defeat for the Federal Reserve, an amendment to audit the multi-trillion dollar institution was approved by the House Finance Committee with an overwhelming and bipartisan 43-26 vote on Thursday afternoon despite harried last-minute lobbying from top Fed officials and the surprise opposition of Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who had previously been a supporter.
The measure, cosponsored by Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), authorizes the Government Accountability Office to conduct a wide-ranging audit of the Fed’s opaque deals with foreign central banks and major U.S. financial institutions. The Fed has never had a real audit in its history and little is known of what it does with the trillions of dollars at its disposal.

"I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.
The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.
Next time I see Pat Michaels at a scientific meeting, I’ll be tempted to beat the crap out of him. Very tempted".

Does that tell you something? Why didn't he wait until he got back? I'll tell you why: because this is indefensible."

United Nations censors anti-censorship group
At a UN-sponsored Internet Governance Forum in Egypt, anti-censorship group Open Net Initiative was startled by a demand from UN officials to remove a poster mentioning Chinese Net censorship. When ONI refused the request, security personnel arrived and took away the poster. The group was promoting a new book, Access Controlled, a survey of Internet censorship, filtering, and online surveillance. A witness said, “The poster was thrown on the floor and we were told to remove it because of the reference to China and Tibet. We refused, and security guards came and removed it. The incident was witnessed by many.”

Yet he continued to serve as a major in the Army largely because I believe he's a Muslim."

Is new sci-fi show a veiled criticism of Obama?
ABC's new science-fiction show "V" is about aliens who come to Earth and promise all kinds of things like hope and universal health care. The aliens also try to control the media, and to recruit young people through technology like text messaging and websites. Some are saying that this series is a thinly veiled criticism of Obama. What do you think?
Quote of The Day
"...the voters tonight, I don't believe, voted [based on] foreign policy. I mean, I think it was mostly the health care mess that is hurting Obama. That's my opinion. I can't really back it up, but I think you'll see subsequent interviews saying that it was the health care mess that's hurt Obama most."
Monday, November 2, 2009
Quote of The Day
"...every time over the last century [that] politicians have tried to push through government-managed health care, they've been defeated by the American people. Going back to Teddy Roosevelt, the Americans have been rightly suspicious and frightened of Washington-run health care. As it is, we see Social Security and Medicare moving toward bankruptcy. We see Amtrak losing a billion plus annually. And now, we're going to put the Feds in charge of health care?"

Friday, October 2, 2009
Quote of The Day
"At this point, it's impossible to know exactly how much influence the committed left has with the president. But based on health care and his tentative Afghan and Iran positions, it looks like Barack Obama is listening to the Podestas [John Podesta heads The Center for American Progress] and [the Michael] Moores of the world. If that is true, he will be a one-term president."

But it doesn't mean very much in a world where North Korea and Iran couldn't care less what the U.N. does. So while the president gets a good PR boost, the fundamental problem remains. Iran may be months away from having a nuclear weapon."

Pastor prays for Obama's death
A pastor in Arizona is encouraging his parishioners to pray for the death of President Obama. In this local news report, the pastor defends his controversial statements. Disagreeing with the President is a 1st Amendment right -- but does this preacher go too far?
Quote of The Day
"If it's another week, it's another change to the Obama health care strategy. First, it was 'We're going to save all this money with health care reform.' Then it was demonizing the insurance companies. Then it was demonizing the town hall people. And now I don't know what they're on to."

Howard Dean booed and heckled at town hall
Tuesday night in Virginia, former DNC chair Howard Dean received a raucous welcome at a Town Hall meeting. A member of the crowd was eventually ejected in the midst of all the chaos.

Quote of the Day
"As far as President Obama is concerned, the health care war is breaking down along party lines. Democrats well understand the president can't afford to be embarrassed on the issue. That would taint his entire presidency. But there's no question most Americans are now dissatisfied with the president's health care deal. According to a brand new NBC News poll, 47 percent now disapprove of the way Mr. Obama is handling health care reform, while 41 percent approve. It's clear Obama's health care policy is not playing among the folks."

Barney Frank Fights Back Against Town Hall Protester
Rep. Barney Frank is not one to keep his mouth shut. So when a woman challenged him at a town hall on Tuesday, he really let her have it.
Quote of The Day
"A new study by Gallup says conservatives significantly outnumber liberals in 47 states. Only Hawaii, Vermont and Massachusetts have an even split. Liberals don't have a majority anywhere. But the media is heavily left, and liberal voices dominate the national conversation on television and in the newspapers. That has emboldened the far left... your humble correspondent believes the Obama administration is intimidated by the far left and fears their zealotry. But if the president governs in their direction, he will fail dismally. The United States... is a center-right country with a strong tradition of self-reliance."
Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Quote of Day
"So here's the deal. If President Obama wants more fairness in the health care industry--and there should be--he's got to come up with five bullet points that even I can understand. That's a tall order. Five things that clearly tell us what Obama-care would do. And I'll tell you what--he can forget about the public option. It's not going to happen. Even a liberal Congress will not pass a huge federal entitlement when the country's on the verge of bankruptcy."

Quote of The Day
"What happened to the Democrats being the party of the little guy? White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs keeps saying that the town halls are not representative. It's just all a lot of chatter.

Well, this strategy has clearly backfired. Look, Democrats have been caught flat-footed, it's obvious, by this popular uprising."

Browser Cookie Cleaning Preventing Your Being Tracked On The Web
Read the article to learn what you don’t know about government’s websites tracking you via cookies and what to do about it all.
"More than half of the internet’s top websites use a little known capability of Adobe’s Flash plugin to track users and store information about them, but only four of them mention the so-called Flash Cookies in their privacy policies, UC Berkeley researchers reported Monday.
Unlike traditional browser cookies, Flash cookies are relatively unknown to web users, and they are not controlled through the cookie privacy controls in a browser. That means even if a user thinks they have cleared their computer of tracking objects, they most likely have not.
What’s even sneakier?
Several services even use the surreptitious data storage to reinstate traditional cookies that a user deleted, which is called ‘re-spawning’ in homage to video games where zombies come back to life even after being “killed,” the report found. So even if a user gets rid of a website’s tracking cookie, that cookie’s unique ID will be assigned back to a new cookie again using the Flash data as the “backup.”
Even the whitehouse.gov showed up in the report, with researchers reporting they found a Flash cookie with the name “userId.” The site does say in its privacy policy that it uses tracking technology but it does not mention Flash or tell users how to get rid of the Flash cookie.

Fury Erupts at Specter Town Hall Meeting

Quote of The Day
"The fact is crowds of this size [at town hall meetings] only turn out across the country if there is real, genuine passion about an issue. And what's driving this August activism is a lack of trust in what the Democrats are promising on health care. Voters hear, 'Oh, don't worry, abortions aren't covered. Illegal aliens don't benefit. Care won't be rationed. Private insurance won't be killed off.' Yet, informed Americans respond with, we don't believe you. Rather than facing the harsh truth, Democrats have stooped to a new low."

Seniors revolt at health care town hall

AARP sponsored a town hall in Dallas and chaos ensued. Angry seniors, worried about losing their health care coverage, demanded answers from the AARP rep. The heat was too much for the moderators and they eventually canceled the meeting.
Quote of The Day
"I don't like insulting rhetoric at town hall meetings by anyone. People should be able to state their case without personal attacks. And I suggest all Americans bring some measure of civility to the debate. However, organized protests are not un-American. And the left is now getting a big taste of its own medicine. Again, it's impossible to know what emotions are spontaneous and what are contrived. But if you want to know the truth about health care, the polling tells the tale. Most Americans now believe President Obama's health care vision is not good for them. And all the spin in the world will not disprove that fact."

Wednesday, August 5, 2009
Quote of The Day
"...at this point the only way President Obama can get any health care plan passed is to compromise and deeply cut the expense while allowing tax breaks for working Americans who pay their own way. Most Americans want strict government oversight on health care and the insurance industry, but they don't want the feds calling their medical shots. Once again, Americans are saying no to a socialistic program that puts more power in the hands of the government. Most folks, including me, do not want that."

Spoof poster of Obama's face painted as The Joker branded 'dangerous and mean-spirited'
A poster depicting Barack Obama as Batman villain The Joker has been called 'mean-spirited and dangerous' by the U.S. President's supporters.
The image, which has been adopted by Mr Obama's critics, shows him wearing the white face paint and smudged red lips of the character most recently played by the late actor Heath Ledger. Beneath the picture reads the word 'socialism'.
The creator of the image remains unknown, but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared in U.S. media.
The right-wing editor of the American Thinker website, Thomas Lifson, wrote today: 'It is starting.
Inspiration: The poster mimics the make-up worn by late actor Heath Ledger in the latest Batman film
'Open mockery of of Barack Obama, as disillusionment sets in with the man, his policies, and the phony image of a race-healing, brilliant, scholarly middle-of-the-roader.'
But the President's supporters have condemned the image, calling it 'mean-spirited and dangerous.'
A spokesman from the Los Angeles urban policy unit said that depicting the president as demonic and a socialist 'goes beyond political spoofery.'
The image comes as the President faces criticism over his plans to create a $1trillion healthcare programme.
Republican chairman Michael Steele first used the word 'socialism' in relation to Mr Obama two weeks ago as he slammed the President's attempts to push Congress into passing the healthcare reforms.

Since his inauguration, the president has lost 16 points in about six months."

Quote of The Day

"After Watergate, all the other networks and many major newspapers became left-wing organizations, and that remains to this day. Enter Barack Obama.

[but] there is little scrutiny [of] the president's incredible spending by the press, because the press is sympathetic to Mr. Obama's agenda. ...Walter Cronkite, in his later years, would probably have bought into that. But, in his early years, he would have been skeptical of it, as all journalists should be... We have gone from a media that challenged authority while seeking the truth to a media that champions ideology."

"Global warming is bad, but cap and trade will not affect it very much because China and India will continue to pollute.
