Don’t worry about your heating bill from last month. Global warming (err, climate change!) scaremongers are hard at work denying your lying eyes.

World warming unhindered by cold spells: scientists

“January, according to satellite (data), was the hottest January we’ve ever seen,” said Nicholls of Monash University’s School of Geography and Environmental Science in Melbourne.

“Last November was the hottest November we’ve ever seen, November-January as a whole is the hottest November-January the world has seen,” he said of the satellite data record since 1979.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in December that 2000-2009 was the hottest decade since records began in 1850, and that 2009 would likely be the fifth warmest year on record. WMO data show that eight out of the 10 hottest years on record have all been since 2000.

But wait! Didn’t Phil Jones just admit there hasn’t been any warming in the last 15 years? Someone lost his sheet music.

Meanwhile, I need to go adjust the settings on my fireplace. There’s a chill in the air.

So Phil Jones, the guy who invented the centerpiece of AlGore’s little PowerPoint presentation, has no fracking clue what happened to the records he based the climate scare on.  He’s a (now) self-admitted disorganized piss-poor record keeper.

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.

And to top it off, all that “settled science” now isn’t… settled, nor apparently even science.

Professor Jones departed from this consensus when he said: ‘There is much debate over whether the Medieval Warm Period was global in extent or not. The MWP is most clearly expressed in parts of North America, the North Atlantic and Europe and parts of Asia.

‘For it to be global in extent, the MWP would need to be seen clearly in more records from the tropical regions and the Southern hemisphere. There are very few palaeoclimatic records for these latter two regions.

‘Of course, if the MWP was shown to be global in extent and as warm or warmer than today, then obviously the late 20th Century warmth would not be unprecedented. On the other hand, if the MWP was global, but was less warm than today, then the current warmth would be unprecedented.’

Sceptics said this was the first time a senior scientist working with the IPCC had admitted to the possibility that the Medieval Warming Period could have been global, and therefore the world could have been hotter then than now.

NOW there’s debate.  Not when the theory was proposed.  Not when the theory was being presented to the world.  Not when stick-up-the-ass Algore was embezzling billions in “carbon credits”.  No, “the science was settled” until these phony eco-fanatics were caught cheating on the numbers.

Not going to mention their name, since I’m not sure they deserve the little free publicity I could provide… but here’s one to think about:

In their commercial, they feature a cop who’s identity had been stolen by a fellow cop. He mentions that he noticed something on a credit card bill that he didn’t recognize, or something to that effect. He goes on to say that it went on for EIGHT YEARS before he figured out there was a problem, and presumably signed up with the company to put an end to it.

So how piss-poor of a cop do you have to be for it to take EIGHT YEARS for you to realize you’re being stolen from, repeatedly, by someone rifling through your desk at work. I sure hope he wasn’t working on any urgent cases. Maybe a basement desk… cold case files…

Anyway, that particular endorsement is not going to sell the service to anyone who thinks for a moment about it. They should have stuck to showing the president of the company driving around with his social security number on the side of the truck.

Make no mistake (and damn do I hate that phrase), I have no desire to see the maggots housed in the cells in Guantanamo released anywhere in the world, let alone inside the continental United States. That being said, I just cannot resist the urge to point out another failure of Barry and Co.

Obama orders Guantanamo closure

Thursday, 22 January 2009
Mr Obama signed the three executive orders on Thursday, further distancing his new administration from the policies of his predecessor, George W Bush.

He said the Guantanamo prison “will be closed no later than one year from now.”

So Barry, it’s been a year. This ill-advised plan looks to be going about as well as your economic schemes. And healthcare takeover.

PLEASE keep up the good work!

A whole new rash of “global warming” commercials have come around, most notably (to me) the one where Noah Wiley pisses and moans about the plight of the polar bear. Once again we’re shown the clip of the mama bear and her cub sitting on an ice floe for a minute, then getting up and doing what polar bears do when they want to go somewhere… swimming there. This ice floe is quite small, and the shot is taken looking out to open sea, so we’re supposed to believe this is the last piece of ice for miles around and the bear and her cub were somehow stuck there.

Noah reinforces these images by repeating the same line that’s been used for years now: the ice is all going away, the polar bears will all die. Funny thing is, I’m pretty sure we’re already past the date when they first told us the ice would all be gone, and yet… there’s still ice, and there are still polar bears. If you want to be convincing, go count the bears. Most who actually have been counting tell a different story.

A Canadian Press Newswire story earlier this year reported that, in three Arctic villages, polar bears “are so abundant there’s a public safety issue.” The local polar bear population reportedly increased from about 2,100 in 1997 to as many as 2,600 in 2004. Inuit hunters wanted to be able to kill more bears because they are “fearsome predators.”

An aerial survey of Alaskan polar bears published in Arctic (December 2003) reported a greater polar bear density than previous survey estimates dating back to 1987.

If polar bears really are getting skinnier as the 1999 study suggested, it may actually be due to an increased population subsisting on the same level of available food. After all, the harvesting of Alaskan polar bears has been limited by the Marine Mammal Protection Act and international agreements since 1972.

Polar Bear Scare on Thin Ice

A commercial keeps popping up on various channels for “The Apostle L.D. Reid”. What a fucking ego this piece of shit must have.

Sorry for the outburst, I just can’t fathom the balls it must take to refer to yourself as “The Apostle”.

Don’t get me started on the ignorant morons who have elevated this jerkoff to the point where he’s advertising on national TV.

Nancy kept the House in session late on a Saturday in order to twist enough arms to get her nearly 2000 page POS passed.
Harry is planning to do the same to the Senate this weekend.

Does anyone still believe this health care fiasco is above board, proper, legal, and necessary?

BOHICA, America.

This is the kind of shit your hopey-changey vote earned you. I hope you’re proud.

Dear Mr. President,

When are you going to stop being such an ass-clown and start performing even the most basic diplomatic tasks in the manner prescribed? This is not how you gain the respect of the world. I’m seriously starting to believe this is some sort of “alien race agrees to pass on the secrets of the universe if the U.S. will belittle themselves before the world” prank. Have the Goa’uld come through the Stargate with this deal? Don’t trust them, you moron!

Even after the White house made complete fools of themselves lying about the bow to Abdullah, the amateur-in-chief does it again. I’m so confident in this presidency I could vomit.

Somehow I doubt it, but I’d say it’s probably a good start.

Corruption lands ex-Louisiana congressman 13 years

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Prosecutors called a former Louisiana congressman’s corruption the most extensive in the history of Congress. His punishment delivered a similar message.

William Jefferson, who famously hid $90,000 cash in his freezer, was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking bribes, the longest term ever imposed on a congressman for bribery charges.

This is the same asshole that had the National Guard driving trucks to his house during Katrina to move his personal property instead of helping the citizens. Lovely. And somehow President Bush was the bad guy? Amazing.

Bill – I hope your life in prison is miserable.

Obama’s Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

This was something I was hoping would be commented on. Kind of weird to read it on an NBC website. From Chicago.

But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a “shout-out” to “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow — that Congressional Medal of Honor winner.” Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?

Let’s not add in that “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow” was awarded the Medal of Freedom, not the Medal of Honor. There’s a difference. It’s big.

The executive Dear in the Headlights. Fantastic.

And here I was struggling to find a reason for it…
The Peace Prize? But How Has Obama Made The World Better?

“Three dead Somali pirates.”

(Harvey at IMAO)

I don’t think that makes it better for the real candidates for the prize.

• Chinese Human Rights Activist Hu Jia – imprisoned for campaigning for human rights in the PRC, not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.
• Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China’s communist system. — not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama. (Not to mention the symbolic value of awarding a Chinese dissident on the 20th Anniversary of the Tianenmen Square Massacre.)
• Greg Mortenson, founder of the Central Asia Institute has built nearly 80 schools, especially for girls, in remote areas of northern Pakistan and Afghanistan over the past 15 years – not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.
• Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, a philosophy professor in Jordan who risks his life by advocating interfaith dialogue between Jews and Muslims, also not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.
• Afghan human rights activist Sima Samar. She currently leads the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission and serves as the U.N. special envoy to Darfur and is apparently also not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.

(Moonbattery)

You’ve probably heard.  Ted Kennedy (aka. I can swim better than her!), is dead.

Yeah, he was an accomplished politician, but frankly, that’s not something to be overly proud of.  A successful man who does good things in congress would be something to be proud of.  A privileged drunk negligent-homicide-committing asshole riding the coattails of his dead brothers… not so much.

But in open demonstration of the vampire cult that is the Kennedy family, I’m watching coverage of the family smiling and waving at the ignorant masses in Washington DC as they escort the corpse of Ted to Arlington (and don’t even get me started on the Kennedy family plot in ARLINGTON).  SMILING and WAVING.

People are acting like this family is royalty.  Yeah, Camelot and all that bullshit.

I seem to recall something about this country being founded to get away from royalty.

Maybe I’m the confused one?

… and a well-armed black guy exercising his second amendment rights.

What?  A black guy?  Wait a minute…

This is hilarious.

Okay, it would be hilarious, if it wasn’t yet another blatant example of the media showing you what it wants you to see.  The talking-head bimbo, the race-baiting self-hating traitor black guy, and the moron representing the liberal view of a good white guy (stupid, mumbles in consent occasionally, not much else) specifically used the image of this man’s guns to suggest white people would threaten the President.  They cropped out the images of his face, then showed a white guy being interviewed.  They said “white guys with guns” or words to that effect.

Hate to say it, but the whacko conspiracy theorists are looking more sane every day.  THEY really are out to screw us all over.  Let me see some of that moon-landing footage again!

You know, the whole argument over whether or not you want the government to make your life choices for you is one thing.  I volunteered for that sort of life for twenty years, so I may be mildly hypocritical when I say I don’t want that for everyone else.  Remember, though – I had a choice.  But that’s not what brings me here this evening; it’s the most blatant example of an OUTRIGHT LIAR in the service of the socialized medicine crowd I could ever imagine.

Saw what you want about the “amateur” journalism practiced every day on blogs across the internet, here’s a perfect example of why we *need* bloggers:

Roxana Mayer: I’m Not a Doctor But I Play One at Town Hall Meetings

[This post follows up on a previous post in which I questioned the credentials of a woman at a Texas town hall meeting who claimed to be a doctor, but turned out to be anything but. She is a graduate student in social work -- oh, and an Obama delegate. Read on for more.]

Blatant.

Outright.

LIAR.

And of course, Ms. Lee just eats up those phony credentials (watch the video towards the end of the article).  Almost as if this were the perfect person to introduce the plans to implement more preventative care and hire more primary care physicians… almost… almost… perfect!

And they accuse those aligned against these efforts to give the government more control over our lives of being hired guns.

** speaking of Ms. Lee… what an arrogant piece of work she is:  Witness the way she rambles over the interviewers trying to get her to discuss her despicable conduct during a recent town hall meeting:
