And the Oscar goes to... Chicken Little

Al Gore, as you probably already know, won an Oscar for his paranoid, greenie weenie propaganda film, An Inconvenient Truth. Al is what's known as in the old Soviet circles as a useful idiot. Someone who can rally the public to ignore important issues by presenting a series of fake environmental hobgoblins for which the only cure is some draconian measure. The Soviets benefitted from men like this because he distracts resources from productive efforts.

The website for this film, climatecrisis.net is filled with little gems like this quote from Al regarding the 2005 hurricane season: "what changed in the U.S. with Hurricane Katrina was a feeling that we have entered a period of consequences." As though we've never had hurricanes before. Global warming was supposed to be the cause of the series of strong hurricanes in the 2005 season, but the following season had no storms of hurricane strength. Al says that the oceans will rise more than 20 feet in the next 100 years because of global warming melting the ice at the poles, even though the most dire computer models show a rise of no more than 1 foot. The real reason for films like this, the green movement and useful idiots like Al Gore is wealth confiscation and further government control. All you need to know about global warming is this.... the earth has been warming and cooling for 4.5 billion years. Man has been around for about 195 thousand years and hasn't been producing pollutants in any significant volume until about the last 300 years. Which leaves 4,499,999,700 years of the Earth warming and cooling on it's own, with ice ages occurring about every 40,000 to 100,000 years. Our contribution to the rising temperature of the earth is not even large enough to qualify as minuscule. Folks, we're not even on the radar. Beware of men like Al gore, he has his hand in your pocket and a strong belief that the government should tell you how to live your life.

Get your motor runnin'

Nothing in the world of politics seems worth commenting on, what with non-binding resolutions being non-binding and all. Proving once again the dems are abject cowards. Anna Nicole is still dead, and doesn't Britney look cute bald? (no) Who cares! the snow is melting and riding season is upon us! Check out the post by my good friend Rob for a little high speed motorcycle fun and check out my wife's blog for a good old people moment joke. To your left is a picture of my bike at the overlook on the tail of the dragon. The entire area is truly a bikers paradise. So, for the moment, the doofus dems are of no concern to me. I will enjoy the promises of a new riding season...... adventures, twisties and epic scenery. I'm off to buy some chain lube!

Oooooh, I shouldn't have said that.

Hillary Clinton on how she would confiscate legally earned oil company profits in a speech at the DNC winter meeting:

"The other day the oil companies reported the highest profits in the history of the world. (Laughter.) I want to take those profits and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund that will begin to find alternative smart energy, alternatives and technologies that will begin to actually move us toward the direction of independence! (Cheers, applause.) "

Does anyone need anymore evidence that the woman is a socialist? And what happened the last time a socialist was president? Anyone remember Jimmy Carter? Nuff said.

A couple of quotes by Ronald Reagan to cap this off.

"You know, they say there are only two places where communism works: in heaven, where they don't need it—and in hell, where they've already got it."

"Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15."

Cotton candy news

It's an all Anna Nicole Smith all the time! ABC, NBC CBS, Fox News, MSNBC and anybody with a microphone or a camera are focusing on this story without regard for it's newsworthiness. Is it a surprise that this drug addled, surgically inflated and pharmaceutically deflated woman died so young?. More importantly should it have been the lead story on everything? Of course not on both accounts. I can understand the initial flurry when she died, as we all know the most important thing in the new industry is to be first. Following that there is no justification for the in depth coverage of this person who is famous for having big boobs and being a stoned gold digger. As far as the comparisons to Marilyn Monroe, puleeeese. Will we be talking about this woman 50 years from now?

Why do we get this kind of coverage? It's easy, it attracts viewers quickly. It's a no effort proposition, set up a camera at the first press conference with a microphone even though THEY KNOW nobody knows anything yet. Like cotton candy it's all fluff, it looks like something, but boils down to next to nothing.
