News briefs are my collection of interesting news stories that may not warrant a full post…
Brief 1: This article may get a scientist the “Titanic” award for going down with his ship. Professor Neville Nicholls had the temerity to claim that January 2010 was the “hottest January we have ever seen.” My only guess that the ole Prof was referring to the amount of heat climate change snake oil salesmen like Al Gore and him are taking because of the obvious fraud they have been perpatrating against the world. The Great Senator James Inhofe and some colleagues are calling for a Senate investigation of the global warming scam. Go Jim!
Brief 2: This one probably goes under the “Good News” column as 14 taliban murderers mistakenly blew themselves up when their bomb exploded prematurely. I shouldn’t celebrate the death of another human, but they’re probably not human. One has to wonder if they still get their 72 virgins since they were so stupid?
Brief 3: As if you needed further proof of Big Brother Obama taking more and more control of our country he now is planning to keep lending institutions from foreclosing on the homes of people who cannot pay their mortgages. WTF? I have to wonder why I continue to pay my mortgage or why banks are not loaning money. My guess is that banks will no longer be able to call the transactions “loans” since they will be more like “gives.”
Brief 4: More good news from our friends across the pond. Officials in the United Kingdom are on to Al Gore and his cronies and their global warming scam. They started by requiring that any school screening of Gores fictional warming movie be accompanied by the facts about his nine lies occur in the movie. More recently they are considering an outright ban on the Gore film.
Brief 5: The world must be coming to an end. A Hollywood actor actually spoke out supporting Sarah Palin bashing. Family Guy actor Patrick Warburton objected to a joke aimed at Palin’s Down Syndrome baby. He is the only one that I heard speak out about the jokes poor taste. One has to wonder how gutless the show’s writers must be to feel comfortable poking fun at a baby with a handicap. To his credit, Warburton objected, but that is as far as it went.
Brief 6: Finally just in time to celebrate the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland The American Spectator’s Mark Hyman wrote a great piece about how America seems to be in Wonderland. Wonder applies in that I wonder WTF is going on in America. One of my favorite examples is where “In Congress, the term “cut” is not a decrease in spending but is instead only a slight reduction in an expected spending increase that is well-beyond the inflation rate.”
