Warmism for politicians

If Sarah Palin is so amazingly dumb, how come she gets everything right on a complex issue, and explains it in language that the average voter can understand? Sarah Palin explains climate change, covering every issue, except for the documents directory of the climategate files, in clear, easy to understand language. She makes one minor error,  describing “hide the decline” as hiding the decline of temperature, when in fact they were hiding the decline of a proxy for temperature, but …

How bloggers saved the world

The Air Vent tells us that China saved the world, which is true, but China saved the world because of what bloggers did. The enemy plan was to use global warming to roll back science, technology and western civilization.   Copenhagen was to have established a “world climate treaty organization” which would exercise centralized control over all the worlds economies, thereby avoiding that inconvenient embarrassment that ensues whenever socialist economies face comparison with capitalist economies. Someone released the Climategate files.  I …

Tony Abbot takes aim at Copenhagen

Tony Abbot made news around the world, by unseating Malcolm Turnbull as leader of the Australian opposition over Climategate, and then  stalling the carbon tax.   By stalling the tax, Abbot challenged the Prime Minister to a double dissolution election, which would have been a referendum on the carbon tax.  By backing down from that challenge, the Prime Minister finds himself empty handed in Copenhagen, making it much harder to reach agreement. Abbot concludes that global warming alarmism is not, …

Provenance of the surface temperature graph of doom.

“So what the hell did Tim do?!! As I keep asking.” The IPCC blessed the results of Hadley-CRU. Hadley-CRU blessed the results of the religous fanatic PhD student Tim Mitchell, and, as is clear from the Harry Readme file, no one checked how Tim produced these remarkable results. Harry, in what is now the world’s most studied document on global warming, the Harry_Read_Me.txt file, asks “So what the hell did Tim do?!! As I keep asking.” How then did a …

Judaism is racism, says the British Court of Appeals

A Jewish school, partially funded by the British taxpayer, has been ordered it cannot define Jews by descent, because this is “racism”.  Unfortunately, Judaism does define Jews by descent.  If the effect of the ruling was merely that Jewish institutions, being “racist” cannot receive government funding, this would not be too bad, but unfortunately, Britain prohibits “racist” association generally, so the ruling logically prohibits Jewish association generally, thus the practice of Judaism generally. “The requirement that if a pupil is …

Political correctness kills people

Section 3 of the US constitution. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Major Nidal Malik Hasan adhered to our enemies and gave our enemies aid and comfort. He then waged war against the united states, shooting 43 soldiers who were not carrying arms at the time. When he adhered to our enemies and gave them aid and comfort, he should have been …

Fighting to lose in Afghanistan.

Hillary has just announced that it is fine by her for Karzai to steal the election. “that bestowed legitimacy from that moment forward” Details, x Democrats of the Vietnam generation long for a re-run of Vietnam. Karzai is militarily incompetent, an enemy of western civilization, and is fighting to lose, thus to allow him to steal the election is defeatism, guaranteeing the Vietnam quagmire that Democrats long for.  Next stop, conscription, compulsory voluntary community service. The correct response, as I …

going rogue: compassionate conservatism

Sarah Palin has announced Our nation is at a crossroads, and this is once again a “time for choosing.” But unfortunately, the leadership of the Republican party, “the political machine” does not want a straight up and down vote on the choice. Suddenly Sarah Palin is the leader of the Republican party, and “the political machine” is no longer the leader,  for when “the political machine” endorsed Dede Scozzafava for New York’s 23rd Congressional district, Republican money and volunteers failed …

Why “stimulus” does not work.

We do not want jobs.  We want creation of wealth.  Regrettably, creating wealth usually requires an unreasonable amount of work.  Even more regrettably, doing an unreasonable amount of work is unlikely to create wealth.  Thus if we try to “create jobs”, we are likely to destroy, rather than create, wealth. It is very easy to create jobs.  The chain on the chainsaw breaks, and one has to use an axe.  Think of all the jobs created!  Ban chainsaws!  “Green jobs” …
