Rolling blackouts?

From the just-making-things-up department comes this from presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's first Webcast: I'm really impressed with what California has done over 30 years. Because they have imposed conservation and energy efficiency standards, they have kept flat their energy use, and the rest of the country has just, unfortunately, continued to use more and more […]

Scientists as televangelists

You want to get money from the public? Televangelists have often known one way to get the money to roll in is to put the fear of God into viewers. Oral Roberts famously warned his followers that if he didn't raise enough money, God was going to call him home. Unfortunately, Roberts was either wrong […]

Old home week

I never actually lived in what today is the Alpha Gamma Omega house in San Luis Obispo -- I graduated the year before the fraternity moved in -- but it was a kick to visit the San Luis Obispo Tribune Web site and see this little article on some of the fraternity houses -- complete […]

Moron o' the day

Today's moron is Heidi Cullen, a "climatologist" who makes here living hosting a program on The Weather Channel called "The Climate Code." Ms. Cullen has a vested interest in human-generated global warming, because otherwise she'd be reporting the weather in Boise, Idaho. Ms. Cullen has made a name for herself of late by calling for […]

They're back at it

I thought we had beat this out of them, but I was wrong. Lawmakers demanded more information on new rules for governing a domestic surveillance program on Thursday, a day after the Bush administration announced that it had placed the National Security Agency eavesdropping under court supervision. [emphasis added] The English language according to the […]

Buried in the latest Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll is a question that reveals that the leftists who used to blame America first, now hate America first. 19.
