NY Times Attempts To Become More Irrelevant

Question: how often do you see NY Times articles featured at Memeorandum or the blogs you read? Not that often anymore. When the Times tried their “Times Select” program, pay-walling certain content, the opinion articles were barely ever featured. They removed the wall, and suddenly Maureen Dowd, Paul Krugman, and the others were showing up. […]

Even Democrats And Independents Not Buying The Globull Warming Narrative On Warmer Winter

Perhaps I should add another category “Dying Science Cult”. First, Gallup people were asked if the winter was warmer than usual. I’d say “yes.” Then the followup, which was “If warmer, do you think the temperatures are mainly due to global warming (or to) normal year to year variation in temperature?” So, only 28% of […]

Good News: Government Information On US Citizens Can Now Be Held For 5 Years

Remember the good old days in the years immediately post-9/11, when Democrats freaked out over the government gathering information, which captured some data on US citizens? Remember the insanity over listening to international calls, despite still needing a warrant if it was determined that a US citizen was on the line? Back in 2007, Obama […]

DOJ Argues No Severability With ObamaCare Mandate

With Obamacare, the 100% Democrats who wrote this intrusive and hated law forgot to put severability within, and there has been much discussion, even within court cases, that if the mandate to purchase health insurance or pay a fine/tax goes down, so does the whole bill. The DOJ accidentally makes a mistake in arguing that […]

Good Grief: Obama Attempts To Include Republicans In Blame For Solyndra

No, seriously, he really tries this (Fox News) While making his push for solar, Obama explained to a reporter for National Public Radio that the blame for Solyndra was bipartisan and not the fault of the Obama Democrats “per se.” “Congress, Democrats and Republicans, put together a loan guarantee program because they understood historically that […]

Bummer: Seas Could Rise Blah Blah Blah

They can’t help themselves (Green Biz) [Editor’s Note: Today is World Water Day. In addition to this article by Robert Kropp of SocialFunds, also see the post by GreenOrder’s Simon Lim on how energy companies manage their water footprints.] Since 1880, average sea levels have increased by more than eight inches, most if not all […]

Obama Not Too Excited To Celebrate Two Year Anniversary Of ObamaCare

He hasn’t been too excited to discuss it in public, either, mostly mentioning it during fundraisers with the 1%, who can already afford really good insurance plans. He rather failed to discuss it during the State Of The Union. He avoided the subject during the run up to the 2010 midterms. He must really be […]
