Ireland needs help

but won't get it from us.

The latest example that the EU has become a snake swallowing free countries was been its actions over Ireland rejecting the Lisbon treating.

Even more amazing is to listen to so-called American elites support this anti-freedom activity, in the name of having only "one" country to deal with. Yes. Yes indeed. Freedom is just so messy.

12. The 1989 Romanian revolution that overthrew Ceausescu was a state security coup to remove an embarrassing icon. It is a sign of success that, while the system went, its beneficiaries and its essentials could be smuggled into the future -and recently in the EU. An amusing symptom of this is that the legislature in Bucharest decided that the health of the nation demands more good news. For this reason, half of the news must be “good”. The experienced Chairman of the committee to implement the policy is no other than Ceausescu’s old “court poet”.

I wonder if our hoi poi notice the fleas?

Baby its cold out side....

This pretty well says it. Damn shame we can't get our media to pay attention.

I DEVOTED six years to carbon accounting, building models for the Australian Greenhouse Office. I am the rocket scientist who wrote the carbon accounting model (FullCAM) that measures Australia's compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, in the land use change and forestry sector.

In other words this guy isn't employed by "big oil."

When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty good: CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the old ice core data, no other suspects.

The evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we were certain when it appeared we needed to act quickly? Soon government and the scientific community were working together and lots of science research jobs were created. We scientists had political support, the ear of government, big budgets, and we felt fairly important and useful (well, I did anyway). It was great. We were working to save the planet.

Yes indeed. Why wait? Especially since the money was flowing.

There has not been a public debate about the causes of global warming and most of the public and our decision makers are not aware of the most basic salient facts:

1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.

Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.

If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.

When the signature was found to be missing in 2007 (after the latest IPCC report), alarmists objected that maybe the readings of the radiosonde thermometers might not be accurate and maybe the hot spot was there but had gone undetected. Yet hundreds of radiosondes have given the same answer, so statistically it is not possible that they missed the hot spot.

But what do the alarmists want to do?

Recently the alarmists have suggested we ignore the radiosonde thermometers, but instead take the radiosonde wind measurements, apply a theory about wind shear, and run the results through their computers to estimate the temperatures. They then say that the results show that we cannot rule out the presence of a hot spot. If you believe that you'd believe anything.

Folks that is just plain dishonest. You can't call it anything else. The deliberate ignoring of hard facts and substituting a computer model theory.

So far that debate has just consisted of a simple sleight of hand: show evidence of global warming, and while the audience is stunned at the implications, simply assert that it is due to carbon emissions.

In the minds of the audience, the evidence that global warming has occurred becomes conflated with the alleged cause, and the audience hasn't noticed that the cause was merely asserted, not proved.

If there really was any evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming, don't you think we would have heard all about it ad nauseam by now?

You know, the evidence, or should I say a lack of evidence, that man made GW doesn't exist is pouring in, yet Gollywood and Algore won't turn loose. Given that we may actually be entering a global cooling period in which a great deal of damage may occur their actions are criminal.

ABC takes a swim

Hussein continues to astound.

Today on CBS's Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that "the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.

I guess that Harvard degree isn't worth what we thought it was.

So now we have Hussein opining about 57 states and serving 10 years. Two colossal foot in the mouth that would destroy any Repub candidate. Yet let's see what ABC's Jake Trapper has to say:

The notion that Obama will be dealing with world leaders for eight-to-ten years, possibly up through July 2018, suggests that either (a) he believes that not only will he be elected and re-elected, but the 22nd amendment will be repealed and he will be elected for a third term, OR (b) he was speaking casually and just meant two terms.

(I'm guessing b.)

Hey, Jake! How's the water in the tank this morning???

But not satisified with that, he goes on.

Similarly, international diplomacy can be impacted by careless or glibly-chosen words. (Cue President Bush's "crusade" remarks.)

There was a time when journalism was a honorable career. Yes, there was a time.

Just don't

One of the other topics covered by Nancy P and the Slower Ones in the Austin pandering, was this:

Asked if she would redirect money from abstinence-only programs to sex education, Ms. Pelosi said, “Yes,” adding that the current program “caters to a radical right-wing view.”

The truth be known, neither works. No program of "just don't," or "don't forget your birth control" will work as long as society just accepts the actions, and the results. The results being unwed mothers and skyrocketing STD numbers. Societal pressure must be brought on the children involved.

It also must be brought on the Gollywood slimes who mouth about how a man isn't needed to raise a child and Oprah should receive relentless pressure to scream don't have sex. Don't get pregnant.

And the man who impregnates a woman must marry or support. DNA testing should be used to identify the Daddy and when they don't, put them in jail.

Now that sounds terrible, but go back to the 50's. Trust me, sex was just as important then as now, but both the girl and the boy felt a huge amount of pressure to not have a baby.

In the final analysis, this is hard on the individual, but so is the punishment for all societal rejected actions.

That's how a society maintains its norms. Not by arguing over how to prevent it.

But this the smartest man in the world

and yet he has confirmed that he will speak in front of the infamous Victory Column in Berlin:

The monument was originally planned to commemorate Prussia’s victory over Denmark in 1864, but with the defeats of Austria in 1866 and France in 1870-71 following in such rapid succession, it ended up celebrating those victories, and the founding of the German empire in 1871, as well.

The Victory Column was built between 1865 and 1873. It was moved to its present location by the Nazi government in 1938-39 as part of the plan supervised by the regime’s chief architect, Albert Speer, to rebuild the German capital.

Now here's a guy who wants no preconditions on discussions with our enemies, but who doesn't mind pissing off Israel and the Jews. Of course it is a nice sop to the radical Muslims who share Hitlers hatred of the Jews as well as other Jew haters in Europe, Germany and the world.

Do we want a candidate for President speaking in front of such symbol?

Gagging maggots

The so-called net roots of the so called Democrat party.... actually its name is "The Know Nothings" met in Austin.

First let me be transparent. I hate Austin if for no other reason than I once lost a bet with my boss about the location of the Colorado river....and I spent months there a few years ago raising money and then watching a friend spin out of control.... but we now have this:

He repeated the challenge he issued to the country on Thursday to produce 100 percent of its electricity from renewable energy and clean, carbon-free sources within 10 years. And he called on the bloggers to help achieve that goal, saying they were on the leading edge of reclaiming democracy for the grass roots.

"He" was, of course, was Pope Algore. He of stupidity worshipped and tall tales.

Mr. Gore, later answering questions from the audience, said he would not accept a role in the next administration. The best use of his talent and experience, he said, is “to focus on trying to enlarge the political space” within which politicians can address the climate crisis.

Uh, PopeEEEE.... First Hussein has to win... And then you have to be asked. And just in case the American people are as stupid as they act sometime and elect his Holiness of Chicago, there is no way he will share the spotlight with another wacked out politician dummy who can't spell science but who now makes forecasts..

When Mr. Gore addressed the group, he noted first that the polar ice cap, which is about the size of the continental United States and has been in existence for three million years, had a 75 percent to 80 percent chance of melting in five years.

Is this his third or tenth forecast?? And if he is right, can anyone tell me why I should give a flip?

And then we had the always present BDS comments.

Ms. Cooper asked Ms. Pelosi whether Mr. Rove, if found in contempt of Congress, would be put “in that little jail cell that’s in the basement of the House.” The audience cheered. Ms. Pelosi replied that Representative John Conyers Jr., the Michigan Democrat who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, had told her, “Leave it up to me.”

Ah yes John, your District is in such wonderful shape you have all the time in the world to engage in political vendettas...

You know, I'm not the greatest fan of Glen Beck, but maybe he's right. Maybe we should get out the pitchforks.

Here we have the country literally diving into a Democrat induced depression and you have the Speaker of the House who promised us cheap gasoline engaging in nothing but utter BS.

There. Now do you understand the title of the post??
