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."

Quote of The Day
"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.
