I don’t get it.  If so many climate scientists have done so much research that “the debate is over”, then why do we still get treated to such emotional bullshit as this?

“This is probably just a perception, but I just have the feeling that the glaciers are melting, the snow capping the mountains is less than it was 12 years ago when I saw it last time,” Thrisk said. “That saddens me a little bit.”

Complete nonsense.  Either the glaciers are melting, or they’re not.  Reporting that an astronaut “feels” like they’re smaller from when he saw them TWELVE YEARS AGO… is not reporting.  Journalism standards fall lower and lower every day.

If I managed to go from being “respected Harvard professor” to lunatic race-card playing punchline, I’d be trying to put it all behind me, too.

BOSTON (AP) – Black Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. says he’s ready to move on from his arrest by a white police officer, hoping to use the encounter to improve fairness in the criminal justice system and saying “in the end, this is not about me at all.”

Not about him.  Not about Obama.  Not about either of the characters that made themselves out to be horses’ asses during and after this little incident.  Too bad there’s a cop with a damaged reputation out there, and who knows how many law enforcement officers now questioning what bullshit will be thrown there way next time they try to do their job.

Professional speakers who can’t keep their feet out of their mouths.  Professional victims, despite their obvious successes.  Only in America!

The village of San Francisco is missing their idiot.  Can someone please send Nancy home?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday said she’s open to keeping the House in session through the August recess to pass its healthcare overhaul.

“I think 70 percent of the American people would want that,” Pelosi said. “I want a bill.”

That stance contradicts House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who said Tuesday that he didn’t see any point in staying into August if Democrats haven’t reached consensus on a bill by then.

She just makes up numbers and throws them out, fully expecting the ignorant masses to believe her.  I’ve spent the last 30 minutes trying to find a poll or survey that coughed up 70% as its operative number.  It’s not there.  Here are some interesting numbers I did find, though:

52% choose controlling costs as more important; 42% cite expanding coverage

49 percent want Congress to pass health care legislation this year, about the same number — 48 percent — say they want legislators to do nothing on the issue for now

41% of Americans would advise their representative in Congress to pass a new healthcare reform law by the end of this year; another 30% would say Congress should pass a new law, but not necessarily this year; and the remainder — 24% — don’t think Congress should pass a new healthcare reform law at all.

I did see some numbers suggesting 70% + from a few months back, so maybe Nancy’s head is just shoved so far up Barry’s ass she doesn’t know what day it is.  Have to remember the poll numbers drop as people learn more about what the liberal bastards are actually trying to do.  Health care for all is a noble goal – socialized medicine is a death sentence for the very people the democrats pretend to want to help.

Come to think of it, if the masses are ignorant enough to keep these vicious animals in office, maybe they are ignorant enough to believe Nancy’s lies.

Getting harder and harder to tell them apart…

Yes, liberals really are this stupidly prejudiced.  So why do so many “people of color” vote for them?  Beats me.

A big salute for Mr. Alford for standing his ground and calling foul when Babs demonstrates her bigotry.

It’s like the opener for a nice piece of slapstick:   a 15 year old fucking moron walks into an open manhole…

It was an accident waiting to happen — an open sewer and a 15-year-old girl who was texting while she walked.

Alexa Longueira, a high school sophomore, was walking along Victory Boulevard near Travis Avenue on Staten Island Wednesday evening when she felt the earth move and was plunged into smelly darkness.

Shit for brains ends up literally in the shit.  Perfect!

“It was just really gross and it was shocking and scary,” she said. “Because of their careless mistake I got hurt.”

Longueira has deep cuts and bruises and said she now has nightmares about falling, But she also did admit she was texting at the time.

“Regardless of whether I’m texting or not if there was a cone there I’m going to see a big orange cone,” she said. “I walk that sidewalk every day, I don’t expect a big hole there.”

Of course it was “their careless mistake”.  Personal responsibility need not apply.

Of course they’re planning to sue.

There ought to be laws against aggressive stupidity.
