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 […]
You don't have to read past the first sentence of this New York Times editorial to know that the rest is bunk. The tax system in the United States is supposed to mitigate inequality. A civics refresher course for the Times editors on the 16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect […]
Seriously, how in the h-e-double-hockeysticks did this guy get elected? From today's Senate hearing interrogation of Condoleezza Rice. Webb: I personally think it would be a bold act for George W. Bush to get on an airplane and go to Tehran in the same manner that President Nixon did. If the "Death to America" stuff […]
Alec Baldwin, a mediocre actor who I last enjoyed seeing in (whichever one he dies grotesquely in), has written an "insightful" piece over at the freak show that is the Huffington Post. All around us are signs of global climate change. And this administration's response is to send in more troops. If you don't think […]
It's stuff like this that convinces me that I'm much too intelligent to ever become an editorial writer. From the Chicago Tribune: No one theory explains why crime rates have declined in Illinois and around the country since the early 1990s. A decline in drug and alcohol abuse has been a welcome contributor. Community policing […]
Now that Saddam Hussein is officially and ex-dictator, there's a couple of quick issues I want to touch on. First, I found the attempt to stop the execution of the mass murdering tyrant by the Iraqi justice system by filing an appeal to a U.S. court based upon Saddam's "rights" in a U.S. civil trial […]
Just to make sure the Earth was still spinning properly on its axis I poked my head in over at DailyKos to see what the nutjob left take on the death of President Gerald R. Ford was. There are a few thoughtful posts. There are a few serious, well-crafted analyses of Ford's pardon of Nixon […]
I really feel sorry for this guy. He went to Canada (that's not the part that I feel sorry aboot) and before he went, he got a quote on a data rate on his cell phone from Verizon of .002 cents per kilobyte. They ended up charging him .002 dollars per kilobyte. It's 20+ minutes […]
Generally putting a math problem in front of a journalist elicits a similar level of understanding as putting a map in front of a monkey. This might explain, but doesn't excuse the British Broadcasting Corporation trying to sell this garbage. Schoolchildren in Caversham have become the first in the country to learn about a new […]
Sunday's Washington Post opinion section, Outlook, features short articles by five historians on where President George W. Bush will rank in history. Four of the historians are so blinkered by their own politics that it's highly likely that they've never met someone who voted for Bush in person and the only Republicans they know are […]
