Born on this day, February 6, 1911

We’ve done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for eight years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren’t just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all.

The Global Warming Christmas Blizzard of 2009

Michael Barone has a great article over at TownHall.

How Climate-Change Fanatics Corrupted Science

Some decades hence, I suspect, people will look back and wonder why so many government, corporate and media elites were taken in by propaganda that was based on such shoddy and dishonest evidence. And taken in to the point that they advocated devoting trillions of dollars to a cause that was based on flagrant dishonesty and dissembling.

Indeed, and in doing so, they’ve harmed the very planet they claim to protect.

Look, the reality is that the science of “global warming” or “climate change” is far from settled.  In fact these revelations give pretty strong indication that it never existed.

In other words, man doesn’t cause global warming OR climate change.

But, man does pollute.

Unfortunately the zealots of the Church of Global Warming have so long preached the message that the very air we exhale is killing the planet that they’ve distracted from real causes of real pollution.

Had they taken the time and the bazillions of dollars spent (and earned, thankyouverymuchAlGore), they could have done worlds of good for clean water and reforestation and more in terms of education.

But not to blame just the zealots. My personal view is that conseration is a conservative issue that the right was all to happy enough, or careless enough, to let the left claim it as it’s own. 

It’s about the wise use of our Natural Resources.

That, to borrow a phrase, would be Earth in the Ballance.

Gibbs: “You Can’t Spend More Than You Have”

It boggles the mind.

Jenny Sanford says that she agreed to let her husband Mark (R-Argentina) remove the vow to be faithful from their wedding ceremony. 

Wasn’t that a clue?

I mean, sure lots of wedding vows no longer require the woman to say “obey.”  But isn’t the whole point of a wedding a commitment to remain faithful?

Apparently Governor Sanford was a wanderer well before he hit the Appalachian trail, so to speak.
