The unspoken goal

Posted on February 2, 2009 by ChrisA

Fear of failure.

What you rarely hear is, “I don’t want to fail,” “I don’t want to look stupid,” or “I don’t want to make any mistakes.”

Hat tip to Brad Feld over at Feld Thoughts for mentioning he reads Seth Godin’s blog every morning.

Tom Daschle is “embarrassed”. How nice. Not to mention a tax cheat.

Alert, alert: Global warming forecasting NOT a science

Posted on February 2, 2009 by ChrisA

Forecasts of global warming are not scientific!

We have concluded that the forecasting process reported on by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) lacks a scientific basis.


This is not your everyday disagreement. Of course, only the science that agrees with ones beliefs really matters. Sounds…. well almost like a religion!

Read the actual research paper and enjoy the Global Warming Challenge website whose purpose is….

The Climate Bet site was originally created to chronicle Scott Armstrong’s $20,000 Global Warming Challenge to Al Gore to provide better forecasts than the no-change model. While the challenge still stands, The site now promotes the use of proper scientific forecasting methods for long-term global climate change policy. It is affiliated with publicpolicyforecasting.com and the Forecasting Principles site.

Paging NASA scientist James Hansen

Posted on February 2, 2009 by ChrisA

Global warming alarmist James Hansen needs to convert his boss, then worry about the rest of us!

My own belief concerning anthropogenic climate change is that the models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit. Furthermore, some scientists have manipulated the observed data to justify their model results. In doing so, they neither explain what they have modified in the observations, nor explain how they did it. They have resisted making their work transparent so that it can be replicated independently by other scientists. This is clearly contrary to how science should be done. Thus there is no rational justification for using climate model forecasts to determine public policy.

Special Treatment

Posted on February 2, 2009 by ChrisA

MSM is so predictable. Why doesn’t it bother them?

Update

From Power Line…

A basic reality of our time is that our mass media are monolithic, and what they choose to report (or not report) depends on what fits the narrative they are pushing on the public. If our reporters and editors wanted to portray Obama as clueless and out of touch with ordinary Americans, he has given them ample opportunity to do so. But because they are Democrats and he is a Democrat, they have no desire to tell that story. So “let them eat steak” is not a theme you’ll be seeing on the evening news.

Makes me wanna puke

Posted on February 2, 2009 by ChrisA

Gawd, you can’t make this stuff up.

New York’s Charles Rangel and five other Democratic members of the House enjoyed a trip to the Caribbean sponsored in part by Citigroup (see above) in November – after Congress had approved the $700 bailout for financial firms (including Citigroup).


Liberals, you need to whip your politicians into line. No, I’m not saying conservatives are angels or anything like it, but you ARE front and center now. If you are holier than thou and deserve to lead then start acting like it.

I don’t know that the answer to our economic situation is, but I’m convinced the circle-jerking (my apologlies to female politicians) going on in Congress at the moment is NOT the answer.

Under penalty of perjury

Posted on January 31, 2009 by ChrisA

The 1040 tax form that all these yahoo’s sign, do they actually read what they are signing? Glenn’s comment is “spot on”…

Really, I’m starting to wonder if anybody in this crew is paying all their taxes.

In case you forgot what it looks like…

Corruption Democrat style

Posted on January 31, 2009 by ChrisA

Power Line peels the onion on how Tom Daschle became wealthy via his wife and his own increased income since he lost his South Dakota seat in the Senate.

The concluding paragraphs make for interesting reading…

Is Tom Daschle a crook, or is it fairer to think of him as a low-level tool of various big-time crooks who play the Washington game by the corrupt rules of the Democratic Party? Either way, it is hard to think of a worse person to put in charge of “reforming” the nation’s health care system.

Still, there is always a silver lining. One good thing about electing a Democrat as President is that, as he nominates fellow Democrats to senior positions in the Executive Branch, millions of dollars in unpaid tax liabilities come to light and are belatedly paid to the IRS, with interest. It is, perhaps, the most tangible advantage of electing Democrats to office.


There is plenty of corruption going around, both in private industry and government. With the majority of Americans having consumed the “government will save us kool-aid” it’s critical that these same individuals demand adherence to the law by our elected representatives. Tax cheats should not be tolerated as policy makers and that includes the likes of Timothy Geithner, Tom Daschle and Charlie Rangle. I’m happy to put some Republican names up, these are simply the ones in the news these days.

Nobody died or got hurt so it’s a non-event. Gotta love the liberal MSM. At least they report on tax cheats in the Obama administration.

Tax cheats

Posted on January 31, 2009 by ChrisA

Can’t President Obama find qualified politicians that haven’t cheated on their taxes? What better argument is their for tax simplification?

Bill Owens takes on Ward Churchill

Posted on January 31, 2009 by ChrisA

Bill Owens called Ward Churchill “a plagiarist and a fraud” while giving a deposition for an upcoming trial.

Only a liberal newspaper such as the Daily Camera would have to tell their reader… “and it wasn’t a complement”.

Inflation is coming, inflation is coming

Let the Mogambo Guru brighten up your day. Here’s a snippet of his wisdom as a teaser…

And the world will certainly fall apart, just as my world always falls apart after long spells of excesses and heedless hedonism, although the world’s problems will probably not be caused by somebody getting pregnant or demanding that I pay a huge bar tab, but by the horror of inflation.

Hypocrisy

Posted on January 30, 2009 by ChrisA

No surprise, the hypocrisy of President Obama and Al (I can get rich off of global warming) Gore. It’s fascinating how eager government officials are to criticize and humiliate leaders of private enterprise, and rightfully so I might add, but how unwilling they are to take on someone of their own pedigree.

Californians, do NOT overpay your state taxes

Posted on January 29, 2009 by ChrisA

Taxes on “hold” in California. Your idiotic government has been out of money for some time…

California has had no money in its general fund for the past 17 months, and has been paying its bills by borrowing from Wall Street and special internal funds.

Of course, the state had a good teacher called the US government.

Where’s that punch bowl, eh?
