Livin' In America

Climategate, The Pictorial Explanation!


UPDATE: A friendly chat with the global warming evangelist who lives in my head.

A Warmergate wrap-up.


One hopes that the Cap-and-Tax bill currently stalled in the US Senate will quietly be shelved and never spoken of again.

One also hopes the EPA will lose its recent court-acquired power to regulate carbon emissions.

Skeptics think the cost of ObamaCare could top $6 trillion.

I think that's a conservative estimate.

I also think that from now on, every Republican speech should end with "ObamaCare Delenda Est." It worked for the Romans.

Back in the day, SNL had a lot of fun with Gerald Ford tripping over himself.

I await "The Bow."

I think I now understand how the Imperial Federal Government intends to provice health care coverage to everyone, *and* reduce the deficit.

After nationalizing health care, kill off those who actually use it.

Brilliant!

Mrs LivinInAmerica subscribes to "Time" magazine, the latest edition of which arrived today in the mail.

Goodbye (at Last) to the Decade From Hell. The writers at "Time" obviously don't realize that - in news terms - they're becoming the last buggy-whip manufacturer in a nation of automobiles. Their decade from hell is going to go on, and on, and on (excepting, of course, that they get some "stimulus" funds). Which, well, why not? If the Imperial Federal Government can grab half of the economy by simple fiat, why not the few per cent that already constitute the propaganda arm of the Democrat party? (Minus Fox News, which can't be an actual news outlet because it doesn't parrot the latest line from Pravdathe NYT.)

Anyway, as to the actual article. Well, it's all baby-boomer angst, isn't it? The writers did have the good grace to admit that the time around the Second Great Unpleasantness might have been a bit worse, but...

God! What a silly bunch. Coddled and clucked over until they came to believe themselves the greatest generation ever, now that they've had a couple of economic shocks and seen their 401(k)s decline a bit, it's a decade from hell.

Forget the semi-pornographic ads for Viagra and other aphrodisiacs, or the ads for incontinence aids, liver care, cholesterol, etc., etc. Forget the artificial hip replacements and cardiac stents that relieve a huge amount of the hassle of growing old. Forget medicines that relieve the pain of arthritis. As long as the 401(k) has declined, nothing else matters.

All that's happened, really, is that the Baby Boomers have come into their own, and cocked things up, and someone else - Fate, I guess - will have to take the blame. Bloody shirkers.

First they gave in Bill Clinton, who took us on a holiday from history, resulting in the tech crash and the events of 9/11. He was succeeded by George W. Bush. The only bright spot in that presidency was taking the war to our enemies. In all other ways the man was a radical and a failure, starting with the fact that he doubled, *doubled* the national debt in a mere eight years, while overseeing a real estate bubble that was supposed to make up for the tech crash (Alan Greenspan, I'm looking at you!). Now the Baby Boomers have given us hope and change, another radical, and a clueless one at that. He intends to double the national debt again, while going to Cairo and delivering speeches that justify jihadi terror. When he's not bowing obsequiously to foreigners, that is.

After the body politic, the national gut, passes this huge social bolus called The Baby Boomers, future generations will have adulthood, and the bills for the party thrust upon them.

If "Time" had any sense, that's what it'd focus on. But then, being run by baby boomers, well, you get the picture...

ACORN dumps documents ahead of a government investigation.

Cap-and-tax is based on data global warming types have been faking for years.

Health care reform is going to insure 30 million people not currently insured *and* bring down the budget deficit.

The guy running recovery.gov admits the numbers on the site are complete bullshit.

The current administration has mostly nominated tax cheats. A shining exception being a racist Latina.

Goldman-Sachs gets tens of billions from the taxpayer, and hands out billions in bonuses.

GM and Chrysler management have taken billions and run.

CIT.

AIG.

The Won vacillates while troops die. When he's not bowing low enough to kiss the feet of foreign potentates, or giving speeches justifying Islamist terror, that is.

Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Charlie Rangle still have positions of trust and power.


There's an inbred group at the head of this country that runs the country for its own good. Of late it's begun to get so full of itself it believes it can rape the country in public and get away scot-free. I can't see that happening for an extended period of time.

I just realized why Maj. Hasan's behavior has been "medicalized" by the legacy media.

Afer 9/11, President Bush took the fight ot the enemy, and kept Muslim massacres off American shores for the rest of his time in office.

By comparison, less than a year after President Obama took office, we've had a Muslim massacre in the heart of Texas.

The legacy media can't have The Won tarred with this, so the guy who shouted "Allahu Akbar" while killing and maiming was obviously insane. Nothing Muslim to see there. Move along.

I love Sarah Palin for no other reason than her enemies.


UPDATE: Hysterical!

The Hero of Canton:



Tha Man they call Jayne:

OMFG, it looks like the Kiwis have a completely different story on umm Climate Change/Global Warming/Whatever the Fuck.

I mean after you correct for, oh, I dunno, actual data, or some such.

Most likely, it's got something to do with Vegemite, and the way DVDs spin, down under. Couldn't possibly be an attempt to massage the data to make things look bad.

More on the global warming non-existence scandal.

The Beeb is reporting that some of the racketeers, knowing they were about to be outed, sent the Beeb "covering" letters.

I note, with some disgust, that this Copenhagen thing is still imminent. One supposes these political acts have a momentum all their own, and somewhat disconnected from actual science, or reality (see recent articles about ACORN).

Democrat Party Union thugs to have more power over average Americans than Navy SEALS!


Ummmmm. Because Union thugs are keeping us safe? For THE WON??????


HOPE!!! CHANGE!!!

Global warming is bullshit.

I am so glad to see the "science" revealed as, well, nothing more than religious mania, directed by a few at the many.


Sod off, Swampy!

Don't you wish the NYT would treat national security like this?

Maybe the US Senate should drop the whole Cap-and-Tax thing. After all, Algore is rich enough already. From The Times of London:

Astonishingly, what appears, at least at first blush, to have emerged is that (a) the scientists have been manipulating the raw temperature figures to show a relentlessly rising global warming trend; (b) they have consistently refused outsiders access to the raw data; (c) the scientists have been trying to avoid freedom of information requests; and (d) they have been discussing ways to prevent papers by dissenting scientists being published in learned journals.

Or, as some London commodity-traders woulld have it:

Sod off, Swampy!

The Senate has voted for ObamaCare.

We're fucked.

We're really fucked.

The US Senate has voted for massive tax increases, limits on innovation, death panels for all.

Wow. It looks like the "science" behind Global Warming, Climate Change, whatever the hell it is this week, is all fake.

Meanwhile, the US Senate is still sitting on a Cap-and-Tax bill that would cripple American industry. Oh, and the EPA now has the power to regulate carbon emissions.

These, all based on lies.

Labels: "science", climate change, fake, global warming, lying liars

Here's something to keep in mind, as you consider the current Democrat government.

ObamaCare just passed the House or Representatives.

I weep for my country.

From what I can tell from listening to the legacy media, Maj. Hasan's religion apparently had nothing to do with his murderous rampage. You know, despite the whole "Allahu Akbar" "shout out" as we was going about killing people.


Quick thought experiment: Imagine his name was "Sullivan," or some such, that he was a devout Roman Catholic, that his TV was tuned to Fox News, that he'd attended a couple of "Tea Party" protests, and that his bookshelf had books by, oh, Glenn Beck, Anne Coulter, and/or Rush Limbaugh. With that in mind, imagine what the coverage would be like. Imagine, in such circumstances, the President asking us not to jump to conclusions. Imagine Chris Matthews telling us it was unclear whether religion was a factor.

So, Queen AntoinetteSpeaker Pelosi intends to pass a bill that demands we buy $15,000 health insurance policies or go to jail.


You know, I think we're not too far from the days of Imperial Rome, when the Emperor would murder rich men for their fortunes, to keep the "free" bread and circuses going a little longer.


If the Democrats get their way, nothing will cost more and provide less than "free" "health care."

I thought it'd take until Christmas to see employment above 10%.


I was too optimistic, by six weeks.


Hope! Change! Funemployment!

Major Hasan started his killing spree at 1:30 PM CST - 2:30 PM EST.

President Obama came on TV at 5:00 PM EST. At that time he spent two or three minutes shuckin', jivin', and issuing shout-outs before finally mentioning the massacre at Fort Hood.

THE MAN HAD TWO-AND-A-HALF HOURS TO PREPARE, AND HE STARTS WITH SHUCKIN', AND JIVIN', AND SHOUT-OUTS!!!!!

Some people are calling this President Obama's "My Pet Goat" moment. In fact, it's much worse. President Bush, informed of the attacks on the World Trade Center, calmly finished talking to the kids, excused himself, and started to deal, within minutes.

This bozo had hours to compose himself, and this was the best he could do.

I have no doubt our enemies are howling with laughter this day, and preparing to bring America low.

The 2010 elections can't come quickly enough. The faster this moron presidency is neutered, the better for all of us.


UPDATE: In his "shout-out," the President mentioned someone or other as a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Turns out the guy was not such a recipient. It really is amateur hour at the White House. Bad things are going to happen to this country in the next year, principally because the President is a bozo.

Just caught this, by way of CNN, as mouthpiece for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.


I really wish CAIR would issue these things, oh, preemptively.


You know, issue statements asking those who feel the need to come down with Sudden Jihad Syndrome to go to their shrinks. Certainly not their imams: don't want to encourage them.


But no. Instead, it's wait 'til some Muslim psycho kills a bunch of people, and then go all scared about the general reaction - that right-thinking people might act on the understandable urge to crucify any Muslim in their neighborhoods. Gull the kufrs into waiting for the next psycho, and the next statement.


CAIR, carefully examined, is really nothing but a part of the Muslim violence being done to Western Civilization in general. It allows us no response in general, nor in particular. Taken in earnest, all CAIR allows us is the chance to take more of the same.


To hell with that. I say we start killing Muslims in the streets, wherever we find them, and then issuing statements hoping the Christians will nonetheless be well-treated, that they're the victims, that they're the one who mus be understood.


Right. Like that's going to happen.


Christians are actually civilized. Too civilized to do that sort of thing. We're going to have our backs against the walls before we react appropriately against these savages.


Still, we do have the French example of St. Bartholomew's Day.


In the interim, I think all non-Muslims should retreat from dar-al-Islam into dar-al-Harb and sit there, mocking these obvious losers.

For, you see, minus their Brit combat jackets, Phillips mics, Sony cameras, American (laminated) maps, Russian assault rifles, etc., most Muslim terrorists are nothing but angry, sexually-frustrated men in yak-hair underwear.

Where is the Arab Nobel Award in Science? Medicine? Where is the Arab car company? The Muslim aerospace company? How many books are translated from, oh, English to Arabic every year? From Arabic to English? Apart from oil, terrorism, and honor killings, what does the Muslim world export? Minus oil, Muslim exports to the world are less than Finland's. That's a billion people, producing less for export than tiny Finland. How does the Muslim world deal with this massive fail? Why, by hating on the Great- and Little-Satan. God forbid they should own their fail.

Back in the day, we ringed the Soviet Union, penned it in, until it collapsed on itself. We need the same against the Muslim world. Ring them. Pen them in. Let them stew, turn in on themselves, and collapse into their own tiny singularity of hatred.

It appears that a muslim by the name of Malik Nadal Hasan, with the rank of Major in the US Army, has killed 13 people and injured 31 others at Ft. Hood, Texas.


Muslim. Mass murder.


Barack Hussein Obama, Commander in Chief of the US military, has been having a hard time making a coherent statement about this event. Probably something to do with the recent elections and his distance in time from the last President. Still, we'll surely be hearing by tomorrow morning that "Bush did it because of Sarah Palin!" or some such.


After offering prayers for the families of the dead, my later reaction is to wonder whether there's any chance we might stop importing honor killers and such middle eastern filth. Just leave them where they are in the twin open festering sewers that are their countries and religion.

Ring them, pen them in. Let them collapse in on themselves, just as the Soviet Union did.

Government takeover of health care? Stick a fork in it.


Faster, Socialism! Die! Die!

India abandons the dollar, in favor of gold.

Another $20, and I'll start selling my gold and buying ammo and food.


Oh. Sorry. "Hope!" "Change!" "More Cowbell!"

What a difference a year makes.

A year ago, The Won won, and the Republican Party was about to disappear from the American political stage. Or so people like E.J. Dionne had it. Today, Virginia and New Jersey (*NEW JERSEY!!!!*) rejected socialism and Obama in general, and went into the Republican line.

You doubt the moment? Look at the news on health care takeoverreform. Done. Cooked. Put a fork in it. See you next decade. Pelosi's 1990-page opus is on fire, and scorching her and wossname, Reid. (BTW, if Reid gets re-elected next year, it will only be by way of a pact with the Devil. He is that *hated* in Nevada.)

So, just where exactly is Obama? Cap-and-tax? Dead. Health care takeover? Dead. He does own two dying car companies, and some rapidly exsanguinating banks. What else was he trying to accomplish? Oh. Right. Afghanistan. Well, he's going to dither politically, while actual people die.

His presidency is toast, as of this evening.


Or, maybe not. This is the point where we find out whether he's an ideologue, or a practical politician. My expectation? More hard-left stupidity: He hasn't even the smarts of a rapist like Bill Clinton.

He can start scolding us like Carter, or triangulating like Clinton. Expect Carter. A President who goes on "Date Night" during a war is de facto a Carter. I await a White House note about the accidental death of a cat (Dario Fo, where are you?!?!?!!!!)


IMHO, The Won's Presidency is toast, this evening.

Oh, by the way, don't miss the Tea Party at the Capitol, this Thursday. Let's put a stake through the heart of this socialist government, while we can.
