What can I say, the pricks of “where’s Al Gore” made him react and react he did.   He went to lengths explaining his position.  In a nutshell he contends that only a few errors in all of the science should not impact the statement of “The science is settled.”
“It is true that the climate panel [...]

Guys, you can’t this stuff up!  How much of a sheep have most people become to expect the government to hand out dry ice during a blizzard to keep your food from going bad?!  How sheepish have you become?  My wife, who usually doesn’t concern herself with this sort of thing says immediately, “Why don’t [...]

This is fascinating and a good insight into the minds of constitutional lawyers.  The article is fairly well balanced, something amazing for Newsweek.  The authors point out that the strange bedfellows of gun right advocates and abortion advocates arguing together in the upcoming Supreme Court case is unusual on its face, but has some validity [...]

Howe goes into great length to explain how we got to where we are in AGW.  How what was once a science is now a religion with all of heretic accusing apparatus included.  (Like a do it yourself Spanish Inquisition kit!)
Howe talks about how as a kid (he’s thirty-five now and still a kid to [...]

Sorry couldn’t resist. But it seems to me she is seriously worried about the impact of interest rates on domestic prostitutes. Now, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to call someone’s wife or living in girlfriend a “House ho” but that what she seems to be saying. It is nice she is worried how [...]

Talk about a spanking! Ryan takes Obama to the woodshed and slaps him around a little.  Obama must have been thinking to himself  “Why, WHY!”  as Ryan took the opportunity Obama provided to put the whoop on the President. Ryan simply told the truth, to a group of men and women who did not want [...]

I sent an email to this author about his defense of Teddy Roosevelt.  He felt Beck was beating up on ol’ TR.  The trouble was in his article he actually made Beck’s case.  Here is a key passage-
“But it was Roosevelt’s political purpose to avoid a revolution. He sought to preserve the market system by [...]

My friend and I have been discussing this for a while now.  The theory put for by yet another academic on how to solve a very real life problem called urban blight. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_decay)  Many cities have suffered from the strain of “white flight” and even “black middle and upper class flight” as people who can [...]

I had to take a peek.  I was working on re-defining my backpacking gear, swearing I wasn’t going to waste a piece of my life watching, but I could not resist.  Here it goes.
- I caught only a little of Obama’s speech, which hasn’t changed.  I did get some of Alexander’s speech, not bad expect [...]

This case in particular causes me great consternation.  It is like watching a train bearing down on stalled car on the tracks.  We all know what is going to happen. We all know there will be death, but we can’t look away.   We are seeing exactly why this nation has lost its way.  Judges and [...]
