Despite an announcement that it has stopped censoring in China, google.com.cn still censored Correction: A commentor points out that if we search for Tiananmen+Square+massacre instead of just Tiananmen+Square, we get uncensored results. Nonetheless, there is something smelly about that page rank. Also, google continues to censor right here: Type “Christianity is†into the search box, and it will drop down the following suggestions wrong a lie bullshit not a religion a cult a joke Type “Islam is†and see what …

What the Tea Party stands for
There is a risk that the Tea Party movement is sufficiently vague and unspecific to enable everyone to read into what they want, so that people with fundamentally irreconcilable views believe they’re part of the same movement, which is a good way to get people into power so that they can start scooping up some of the gravy, and a bad way to accomplish any political objective. The original Tea Party was a violent eruption against British Mercantilism. They threw …
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 …
The Cathedral loses
Honduras wins, Cathedral loses. It was a “coup†because it was not the kind of process that the Cathedral could manipulate without anyone understanding what was going on.
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 “racismâ€. 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 …
