Al Gore’s Climate Reality Pushes “Dirty Weather” Contest

By William Teach October 19, 2012 – 3:09 pm

Hmm, doesn’t usage of energy create “dirty weather” in Al’s World? How much energy and resources are being used for this contest? (via Tom Nelson)

Emissions from cars, planes and power plants feed a monster tornado that is ripping through the scene. This looks like trouble.

Humans have become weather makers so we’d better be aware of the future we are creating. I believe that images like this have the power to help people wake up and that t-shirts can be great living billboards.

There you go, Warmists, stop all fossil fueled travel and refuse any power that comes from a power plant.

Today is the last day to score the designs.

CIA Reported Within 24 Hours That Benghazi Attack Was Terror, Not About A Film

By William Teach October 19, 2012 – 10:01 am

I’m listening to Geraldo Rivera spin about the notion that a video that no one had seen was the obvious cause of an attack on our Benghazi consulate, along with all the other violence on September 11 as Fox News is discussing this same report

(Detroit Free Press) The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month’s deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.

Perhaps Geraldo can explain the violence and attempts to burn our consulates and embassies, along with raising Salafist flags above them, not to mention the huge number of Salafist flags and headbands present at the “protests”, including the European ones? Looks kinda, you know, planned.

It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA at that point and how high up in the agency the information went. The Obama administration maintained publicly for a week that the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a result of the mobs that staged less-deadly protests across the Muslim world around the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the U.S.

If information like this, coming from the freaking CIA station chief in Libya, was not immediately disseminated all the way up the chain, someone’s head should roll. We pretty much know that Obama didn’t bother convening his national security council the day after the attack, instead choosing to label the attack as a demonstration that got out of control, the better to be able to hit the campaign trail.

Surprise! Another Obama Admin. Backed Solar Company Goes Bankrupt

By William Teach October 19, 2012 – 7:25 am

I’m sure this is somehow George Bush’s fault

(Heritage) A solar company that got a multi-million-dollar grant from the Department of Energy earlier this year announced Wednesday that it will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, making it the second taxpayer-backed green energy company to file for bankruptcy this week.

Satcon Technology Corp. announced the decision in a Wednesday news release. “This has been a difficult time for Satcon,” president and CEO Steve Rhoades said. “After careful consideration of available alternatives, the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Chapter 11 filings were a necessary and prudent step, allowing the Company to continue to operate while giving us the opportunity to reorganize with a stronger balance sheet and capital structure.”

Satcon received a $3 million DOE grant in January to develop “a compact, lightweight power conversion device that is capable of taking utility-scale solar power and outputting it directly into the electric utility grid at distribution voltage levels—eliminating the need for large transformers.”

Now, I’m sure some on the Left will proudly proclaim that $3 million is a drop in the bucket, which is true, but, it doesn’t deflect from the point that the Obama administration (and government in general) is highly wasteful with the money that is forcibly taken from the citizens of America….those who have jobs, that is, and haven’t given up on the jobs market in despair. Well over a million kids could be served a meal at school with that money. This is one of the ways we have nickle and dimed ourselves to $16 trillion in debt.

The US government is the ultimate 1%er, except they are pissing away Other People’s money rather than they’re own on silly projects which are bound to fail.

And, just as big a point is that the Obama admin. is attempting to pick winners and losers in the private sector, and mostly picking losers. The Lonely Conservative points to a list from Heritage of all the “green” companies that the Obama admin has invested taxpayer money in which have failed. Satcon makes 36.

Shocking Number Of Obama Supporters Clueless About Benghazi

By William Teach October 19, 2012 – 7:04 am

It really should be no surprise that Obama supporters are divorced from reality: these are the same people who were voting for “hope and change” rather than any sort of concrete plans, and still support Obama because he’s….well, because he’s Obama, since most of Obama’s policies have been disasters. Remember the video from 2008 which showed the stupidity of those planning to vote for Obama? This one is just as bad

(The Blaze)…as it turns out, some of Obama’s supporters don’t even know the Benghazi attack occurred in the first place — and as they say, what you don’t know can’t hurt you.

Revealing Politics went to an Obama event at Ohio University on Oct. 17 and asked a number of the president’s supporters about the Benghazi attack. The conservative site says “most of the event attendees” had never heard of the terrorist act.

“So, what do you guys think about the situation in Benghazi?” an interviewer with Revealing Politics asks two girls.

“I have no idea,” one of them replies, giggling her head off.

One man said he thinks “the Republicans” were responsible for the attack while an alarming number of others could not identify Ambassador Stevens or recall a terrorist attack occurring in Benghazi.

Facepalm time!

Over at the Daily Caller, Jamie Weinstein discusses the Top 10 groups of people who shouldn’t vote (and takes shots at both sides). The above type of clueless morons who have no idea about current events should be included on the list. Instead of voter ID, there should be a test to determine if people have the necessary knowledge on domestic and foreign affairs to make in informed voting decision.

Crossed at Right Wing News and Stop The ACLU.

Sigh: Biden Wonders How Many Have “Served In Iran”

By William Teach October 18, 2012 – 6:40 pm

Just Joe being Joe, I guess. Which means on crack or something

(ABC News) “How many of you know someone who served in Iraq or Iran?” Biden asked the audience.

Wait, it gets so much better

In reply, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid raised his hand.

“How many of you know someone who has been injured or lost in Iraq or Iran?” Biden asked again. “Well, let me tell you something. We owe … these families more than we can ever pay them.”

He also talked about the GOP have guns pointed at people, hence the change of headline at ABC News (though the permalink is about the buffoonery about Iran). Imagine a Republican said that? He or she would be demonized for “uncivil rhetoric”. And blasted for confusing Iran and Afghanistan, because those words are just so darned close in pronunciation.

Michelle Says Barack Never Points Fingers Of Blame…..

By William Teach October 18, 2012 – 2:31 pm

Via Twitchy

From that link to The Hill

“See, but your president, he didn’t point fingers,” Mrs. Obama said, at a campaign fundraiser in New York. “He didn’t place blame. Instead, he got to work, because he was thinking about folks like my dad and like his grandmother. See, and that’s why he cut taxes for small businesses and for working families because he believes that in America, teachers and firefighters should not pay higher tax rates than millionaires and billionaires.”

Here’s Simon Cowell reading the transcript aloud

Liberals Rather Upset Over The Way Romney Talks To Obama

By William Teach October 18, 2012 – 11:08 am

Dare we say that Romney is a raaaaacist? Two from the Blaze

Comedian D.L. Hughley appeared on Current’s “Joy Behar: Say Anything!” on Wednesday, where he issued a scathing assessment of Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s performance at the second presidential debate. In addition to claiming that he has a “tremendous amount of disdain” for the GOP candidate, the entertainer accused the candidate of speaking to President Barack Obama as though he were his servant.

“To me, watching Mitt Romney, who I have a tremendous amount of disdain for…I think that the way he talked to the president of the United States last night was like a man talking to a servant,” he told Behar.

More like the way a superior talks to an underling who is a total screwup.

Matthews later played a clip of the memorable exchange between Romney and Obama over permits for energy exploration on federal land, which are down over the last four years. As Obama attempted to interrupt Romney, he told the president “you’ll get your chance” to talk.

“I don’t think he understands the Constitution of the United States…He’s the President of the United States. You don’t say, ‘you’ll get your chance,’” Matthews said.

Yeah, you do. But, you know, dog whistles or something

Lipton added: “If Mitt Romney were the president and Barack Obama were the challenger, and these roles were reversed, and Obama treated Romney – the president in this construct – the way he was treated, you would have heard an outcry from coast to coast and you would never, ever hear the end of it…It is rude. It’s inexcusable. I think it’s a very, very sad day when the presidency, which has been under fire since Nixon — and particular this president — can be treated this way by someone who is an American citizen.”

Last time I checked, Obama (and any POTUS) works for us, the American citizenry. Not the other way around.

Memeorandum has a pull from the Washington Examiner and Byron York on the Chris Matthews part.

Bummer: Climate Change Creates Worst European Wine Season In Half A Century

By William Teach October 18, 2012 – 8:28 am

I blame you, dear reader, for failing to reduce your big fossil fueled life, refusing to take just one 2 minute shower a day, using more than two sheets of TP, and living a 1st world lifestyle

(The Day) Winemaker Cherie Spriggs had watched the weather over southern England’s vineyards all season long. It just wasn’t good enough for Nyetimber, her award-winning sparkling wine.

“‘I have never seen a situation like this before,” Spriggs said. She was left with only one option and the company decided to forego the 2012 harvest.

Few have gone as far as Nyetimber but drought, frost and hail have combined to ravage Europe’s wine grape harvest, which in key regions this year will be the smallest in half a century.

Thierry Coste, an expert with the European Union farmers’ union, said Wednesday that France’s grape harvest is expected to slump by almost 20 percent compared with last year. Italy’s grape crop showed a 7 percent drop – on top of a decline in 2011.

“Two big producing nations, France and Italy, have not known a harvest so weak in 40 to 50 years,” Coste said. “All the major producing nations have been hurt.”

That’s right, frost, as in “cold freaking weather.” As in zero degrees Celsius in the South of Europe in the wine growing areas. These are the same conditions which were seen during the last cooling period, from the 1940’s to the late 70’s, of which many were worried about a “coming ice age”. The same conditions which were prevalent in Europe during the Little Ice Age and Dark Ages (it was a cool period). Dry and cool.

Coste did blame it on “climate change”, but did go on to say that it was natural. Waiting for Warmists to blame this on Mankind in 3…2…1…., using their talking points about trapped heat from greenhouse gases causing it to get cold.
