Cooler Temperatures = Global Warming?

OPEC plans to make possibly its largest supply cut ever this week, and oil and gas prices are rising.  Who's doing the gouging again?  By the way, if we keep demonizing the oil companies and playing the class warfare games, more companies like Weatherford International might decide to leave the country.

 

According to the Associated Press, cooler temperatures this year are proof that the earth is warming.  This same story claims that the 10 hottest years on record have been in the last two decades; instead, they were mostly in the 1930s.  Real scientists have responded in force to the global warming hysteria.

 

Denver, Colorado had record low temperatures this weekend.  So did large parts of Montana.

 

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is sitting on a report that points out that electric cars don't have a future.  I guess it's an inconvenient truth.

 

The Messiah's "stimulus" package could reach $1 trillion.

 

Rahm Emanuel met with Blago to talk about who should fill Obama's Senate seat.  That doesn't mean Emanuel knew that Blago wanted to sell it.  We might have found out, either way, had the Chicago Tribune not released a story about the investigation before the FBI was finished investigating.  So far, the scandal isn't hurting the Messiah.

 

President Bush went to Iraq this weekend for the last time as President.  While there, an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at the President.  Fortunately, President Bush has good reflexes and managed to duck to avoid both.  The compassionate left cheered the guy throwing the shoes.

 

John McCain appeared on ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos yesterday.  Some of the lowlights included criticizing his own party for attacking the Messiah over the Blago issue and barely acknowledging the success of Sarah Palin.  This is why nobody likes him (except the mainstream, uppity, navel-gazing media when they're looking for a Republican that loves Democrats).

 

With the auto bailout dying last week in the Senate, and the White House not taking immediate action to bail out the UAW, some in the blogosphere are starting to think that maybe it might not happen.  That's being much too optimistic; after all, Bush has a legacy to maintain!  Plus, they have to figure out how much money they want to spend to bail out the Big Three, with estimates ranging from $10 to $40 billion.

 

The Wall Street Journal had a column Saturday showing another way that teachers' unions hurt student performance.

 

Proof that every cloud has a silver lining:  During this recession, Mexicans are leaving the United States with no plans of returning.  Now if only we can (without a recession) make it so that they don't want to come here in the first place.

 

Jeremiah Wright will be preaching in Macon starting tonight.  That part doesn't surprise me; the good words of Mayor Robert Reichert towards Wright do surprise me.

 

State Rep. Tim Bearden of Villa Rica has decided, in the light of the Brian Nichols case, that he wants to see a majority of 10 jurors during the sentencing phase of a trial be able to give the death penalty.
