So, just before I left to visit the family for Thanksgiving, I got another present. The same person responsible for leaking the e-mails featuring efforts to “hide the decline” two years ago released thousands more e-mails that further re-enforce what those of us not predisposed to alarmism and doom have known for several years—the climate […]
They told me if we elected John McCain we'd have powerful political interests telling the news media what stories they could and couldn't run and they were right.
The so-called supercommittee went bust this afternoon. Here in the blogosphere we have a term we use for occurrences such as this: predictable.

It’s possible Cain’s a lecherous cretin. It’s possible that people are lying in […]
I’m not surprised. I spent 15 years in newspaper newsrooms up and down the left coast. I knew they were populated by and large by the American left. The political theory typically ran from the far, far left to the center left, with an occasional “a pox on both your houses” libertarian here and there. […]
