I think we'd have less violent protests from "peace-loving" leftists if this happened more often. WHEN 35 Greenpeace protesters stormed the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) yesterday they had planned the operation in great detail. What they were not prepared for was the post-prandial aggression of oil traders who kicked and punched them back on to […]
Former PBS newsman Bill Moyers has apologized for passing on a smear against former Reagan administration Interior Secretary James Watt. Earlier this afternoon, Bill Moyers called James Watt and "apologized profusely" for misquoting him and misrepresenting his views on the environment. Moyers says he will produce a written apology and think about ways to make […]
Thanks to Powerline we are reminded that former PBS "newsman" Bill Moyers is a less-than-stellar journalist. If an apology to former Interior Secretary James Watt and retraction from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is not immediately forthcoming, then Moyers cements his reputation as a partisan hack.
I finished Michael Crichton's latest novel, "State of Fear," a couple of weeks ago. It's certainly not Crichton's best work, it's not going to win any awards, but it's an entertaining read with a message: global warming -- as it is presented by many in the scientific community -- is bunk. If you want to […]
It appears an iceberg is threatening thousands of penguin chicks down in Antarctica by blocking access to fish-infested waters. Help the penguins out, drive a couple of extra miles today.
A local genius (I'm being serious this time) invented a device that uses energy from ocean waves to create electricity -- winning $100,000 in a contest sponsored by the Siemens Foundation. (When I was in high school, it was known as the Westinghouse Competition.) For fun, Aaron (Goldin), a straight-A student, spent two years working […]
Today's New York Post has an article by the Heritage Foundation's Peter Brookes on the emergence of an oil-hungry China. The bad news: don't expect gas prices in the $1.50 a gallon range any time soon (if ever again). The good news, it should now be obvious that the Kyoto Global Warming protocol had little […]
Just got finished watching the global warming disaster movie "The Day After Tommorrow." Al Gore and his cronies wanted us to watch this thing and be scared? I'd say the whole movie was overkill, but especially the computer-generated wolves. The special effects were impressive, but I kept thinking to myself as character after character said: […]
On the same day the New York Times editorial board decries global warming and the Bush administration's decision to pull out of the Kyoto Protocol -- again. For an editorial board that has decried the "meddling" of the Bush administration in "scientific" reports, it's interesting that the Times is ignoring a little bit of politicking […]
The Drudge Report has excerpts from Teresa "Shove it" Heinz Kerry's remarks to the Democrat Convention, including a promise that after he's elected president, John Kerry will shut up. With John Kerry as President, global climate change and other threats to the health of our planet will begin to be reversed. There you go. Less […]
