Back on the 29th, I wrote a tongue in cheek post on how climate alarmists could link the Egyptian and Tunisian riots to the anthropogenic global warming idiocy. I see that Bookworm also had thoughts along the same line (here and here). And now, finally, a True Believer connects the dots Reports: Egyptian and Tunisian […]

No one has really said it yet, but, you know it is coming, namely, that the Egyptian riots have their foundation in climate change.

I’ve mentioned many times the dire straights the States are in economically, mostly thanks to liberal policies (they aren’t solely to blame, though. Republican overspending is a part, too). The NY Times is finally noticing this, too. Interestingly, they never mention that the majority of States in really, really bad shape have been mostly run […]
