AGW Revisited

September 02, 2010 10:43

Travis had posted on Global Warming a little while ago and it turned into the usual supporters of the liars, versus those who support the other liars argument.  I have a problem with the methodology and this whole issue of "consensus" as promoted by the charlatan Al Gore. But now there is a group ...

Presidential Speech Predictions

August 31, 2010 23:48

Wanted to get this out before he talks, but I am going to go out on a limb and make the following predictions about his speech: 1.  "We have ended the war."  i,e, He is unable to say that we won. 2.  "I was right years ago when I said that the surge was necessary." 3.  There will be no mention of...

It's an American Thing

And Chris Matthews and oh so many others, just wouldn't understand.  If you believe that America is a fundamentally racist, homophobic, sexist country, you cannot understand the rest of us. Especially those of us who have been outside of this great country, and know it is their own arrogance that ...

In Rhetoric and The Rule of Law: A Theory of Legal Reasoning (Law, State, and Practical Reason), Neil MacCormick notes that: It is a well-recognized truism that even the most carefully drafted and detailed text can never convey a fully determinate meaning for all possible purposes.1 This is as true...

Hobson's Choice

It has been an article of faith that the Bush tax cuts only went to the richest. Sure, the facts disprove that argument, but through their control of the media, the notion that only the rich received any benefit of the tax cuts has endured and prospered. That is about to come to an end. The...

Speaking Truth to Power

August 28, 2010 22:21

That phrase above has been used for as long as I can remember as a sort of badge of courage by the Left, in that they don't agree with the popular ideas, but instead want the true ones.  Skip forward to today, and the Left is now "The Man."  Do they speak "Truth to Power?"  Absolutely not!  Ins...

Why is This Man Smiling?

August 26, 2010 01:59

Because he doesn't have a clue?  From Karl Rove: In what will rank as one of the all-time presidential PR disasters, we're now well over half way through what the White House called "the summer of recovery." And what a recovery it's been. Earlier this month, first-time claims for unemployment ...

“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the healthcare bill,”

August 25, 2010 19:37

The problem I have with this, is that if Max isn't reading it, he sure as heck isn't writing it either.  Which may explain why student loans, and the requirement for 1099s for the sale of gold are in Obamacare.  And if he is farming out the writing, who exactly is doing it?  What are their motives, ...

Scary Thoughts

August 25, 2010 13:30

The Hill is saying that the latest awful news about home sales is more difficulty for the Democrats. Which reminded me of an interview with Rep. Debbie Wasseman-Schulz of Florida (Delusional) who was trying to put the best spin on the economy that she could.  She was asked if she thought the ...
