Heading up north today for some skiing, thanks to golbal climatistical instability.
Hopenchangen. It was a joke. Nobody took it seriously as other than as virtuous posturing - except possibly the O, who is already beginning to resemble a lame duck.
Related: The CRU was just the tip of the iceberg. One quote:
NOAA stands accused by the two researchers of strategically deleting cherry-picked, cooler-reporting weather observation stations from the temperature data it provides the world through its National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). D’Aleo explained to show host and Weather Channel founder John Coleman that while the Hadley Center in the U.K. has been the subject of recent scrutiny, “[w]e think NOAA is complicit, if not the real ground zero for the issue.”
And their primary accomplices are the scientists at GISS, who put the altered data through an even more biased regimen of alterations, including intentionally replacing the dropped NOAA readings with those of stations located in much warmer locales.
As you’ll soon see, the ultimate effects of these statistical transgressions on the reports which influence climate alarm and subsequently world energy policy are nothing short of staggering.
The details of the giant hoax just keep emerging, don't they? Not to worry - somebody will find new reasons to need global governance by our betters.
Hugo Chavez accuses U.S. of using weapon to cause Haiti quake. Of course. Who wouldn't want to damage Haiti? Or own it? What a prize.
Dept. of Schadenfreude: Weeping into their cappucinos in Amherst. "Send them all to Amherst" he says where, presumably, any enemy of Americans and freedom will be welcome. Hasn't radical murderous sociopathic chic gone a bit stale yet?
The Krautman addresses the proletarian uprising, He begins:
You would think lefties could discern a proletarian vanguard when they see one. Yet they kept denying the reality of the rising opposition to Obama's social democratic agenda when summer turned to fall and Virginia and New Jersey turned Republican in the year's two gubernatorial elections.
The evidence was unmistakable...

The world is getting richer. Must be due to climate change.
Obama Seen as Anti-Business by 77% of U.S. Investors. So who is supposed to create the wealth they want to redistribute? Or are we all supposed to be poor and stupid?
Re the banks, at Dino:
President Obama is part of that portion of during their lives, the business world where most of life takes place. the US that has had little or no contact with the private sectorHe is anti-business and he knows almost nothing about business. In a sense he lives in an alternate reality. Not good news for the rest of us.
Via Legal Insurrection in April:
What history shows us is that a liberal, blame-America-first Democratic President, urged on by a liberal, blame-America-first Democratic Congress, is a prescription for political self-destruction. Leave Democrats to their own devices, and they will screw themselves politically, just when they are at the height of power.
Re the Supremes' decision, Althouse is good: Hillary Clinton was promoting free speech on the internet...On the day that the Supreme Court struck down a U.S. statute as a violation of free speech.
Related, Surber reminds us:
The ACLU is a corporation.
Common Cause is a corporation.
The New York Times is a corporation.
Stick the hand-wringing over corporate speech already. Americans know better.
And Maggie's Farm, I suppose, is an informal corporation. Oh, I almost forgot. We are a not for profit "commune," so I guess we're OK with free speech either way.
