When the Press Favors Secrecy
The New York Times has no trouble reproducing damaging documents not meant for the public eye when the subject is national security — but not when the documents embarrass the “scientific experts” used to scare people about global warming.

*** begin quote ***

The e-mails prove just how dishonest this left-wing global warming agenda truly is. And now suddenly, the New York Times has found religion, and won’t publish these private e-mails. Environmental reporter Andrew Revkin, who’s more global warming lobbyist than reporter, quoted – sparsely – from the e-mails, but declared he would not post these texts on his “Dot Earth” blog on the Times website: “The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won’t be posted here.” That rule didn’t apply to things like the disclosure of the SWIFT global bank monitoring program against terrorists.

*** end quote ***

Climate-gate proves that the issue is a fraud and the “scientists” can be trusted.

DIsgraceful! Guess they’l get a Nobel Prize for Science now.

POLITICAL: Where does the Ponzi scheme end?

We pay them to lie to us
John Stossel

*** begin quote ***

Medicare is already $37 trillion in the hole. Yet the Democrats proudly cite Medicare when they demand support for the health-care overhaul. If a business pulled the accounting tricks the politicians get away with, the owners would be in prison.

*** end quote ***

Ditto Social Security. If an insurance compnay did such an “insurance policy”, all the exectives would be in the “grey bar hotel”. Like Madoff, they’d be excoriated. Yet our congress critters can do the same thing and we don’t critize them? Sheeple! Wake up!

QUOTE: Thanksgiving lesson

Thursday, November 26, 2009

“The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” – Margaret Thatcher

Thanksgiving?

The Pilgrims starved until the dismissed their “commonwealth” of socialism and allowed private enterprise.

If there’s anything to be thankful for, it’s that lesson.

Happy T-day, all.

RANT: Lost my camera

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Argh!

My own fault. I had it in my left pant’s pocket and it slipped out when I was sitting in a cab.

Argh!

The driver might not even see it. Then when he does, how would he know who’s it was.

I should have remembered the cab number.

I should have taken a receipt.

I should have …

Argh!

I call a few cab companies. Nice people. But good luck.

I was told call the licensing authority; no phone number.

Argh!

Oh well.

RANT: Yet Another Tin Foil Hat Question

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

http://www.campaignforliberty.com/article.php?view=376

*** begin quote ***

Initial reports said there were multiple shooters. If that was the case, the scenario is much more plausible. If multiple shooters had opened fire from various vantage points–especially if they had rifles–it would have made unarmed resistance extremely difficult. That scenario would make sense. The “one shooter with two handguns” explanation makes no sense.

*** end quote ***

OK, gang, don your tin-foil hats for a moment and consider the question: “Do you really believe the Gooferment’s story? It’s another hard to swallow tale imho.

POLITICS: the pseudo “drug war”

Buy American Pot: A Special Message From the AMGA, Dedicated to Keeping Pot Illegal & Profits High!
From: ReasonTV | November 19, 2009 | 9,907 views

*** begin quote ***

We all know that a lot of people are harmed by prohibition, but who benefits? Strangely enough, some of the biggest beneficiaries are the bootleggers. Sure, they take a big risk, but black marketeers don’t have to pay taxes, they’re protected from foreign competition, and they benefit from artificially inflated prices. Talk about protectionism.

*** end quote ***

One has to laugh at the pseudo “drug war”. All it does is keep the JBT in power. Kids die from adulterated, impure, or unknown strength products. It transfers American wealth to Columbia Drug Lords and Third World terrorists while making our inner cities a free fire zone from waring gangs. Just like in Prohibition. And, it is easier for children to get than booze. So how about some common sense. Let’s turn the problem over to WalMart, Walgreens, CVS, and 7-11. Now “illegal drugs” will be the cost of aspirin and all the money we are dumping into prisons can go to treatment. You are never going to “prevent” someone from ingesting or inject stuff into themselves. Sohow about we try “freedom”. Could it be ANY worse?

RANT: The gooferment IS the problem

Sunday, November 22, 2009

“Advocates of government control [of health care and insurance] want you to believe that the serious shortcomings of our medical and insurance system are failures of the free market. But that’s John Stosselimpossible because our market is not free. Each state operates a cozy medical and insurance cartel that restricts competition through licensing and keeps prices higher than they would be in a genuine free market. But the planners won’t talk about that. After all, if government is the problem in the first place, how can they justify a government takeover?”

— libertarian journalist John Stossel

GOLDBUG: Implication in gas

Sunday, November 22, 2009

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/ambroseevans-pritchard/100002059/is-6300-fair-value-for-gold/

Is $6,300 fair value for gold?
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard Economics Last updated: November 19th, 2009

*** begin quote ***

He sees an eery similarity between the decision of India’s central bank to buy half the IMF’s entire sale of gold, and the move by France’s central bank to start converting dollars into gold in 1965 — which was, of course, the start of the slippery slope leading to the collapse of Bretton Woods and the closure of the US gold window under Nixon.

In the gold mania that followed, the price rose to levels that matched the US dollar monetary base (it reached 140pc at the peak). If that were to occur today after Ben Bernanke’s go at the printing press, gold would have to reach $6,300 an ounce. The US owns 263m ounces of gold while the Fed’s monetary base is $1.7 trillion. Simple equation.

*** end quote ***

Wow!

This portends a very difficult time for the USA.

Gas = 3 $ / gallon ~ 0.0026 oz gold @ 1,150 $ / oz

0.0026 oz * 6,300 $ / oz = Gas 16.43 $ / gallon

At 16.43 $ / gallon, the economy stops. (Pundits have said the stop point is less than $10 / gallon.)

Argh!

TECHNOLOGY: Driverless cars

Audi Autonomous TTS – Driverless Sports Car

*** begin quote ***

It could also help with the more mundane aspects of driving. With the Autonomous TTS, you could let your car go find its own parking space in the garage. “The technology could return time to the cars’ owners by taking care of routine driving chores, such as winding through a parking garage to an assigned spot each morning,” Audi says.  

*** end quote ***

Neat!

Perfect for Iowa driving.
