The $33,000 Mitsubishi iMievs are guaranteed unhurtful to polar bears (since electricity is generated from pixie dust) and can go 100 miles on a charge — but only with the lights off. Consequently, […]

 

Eurocourt Bans Crucifixes in Italy

Posted on by Dave Blount

Thank You, Doug Hoffman, But Now It’s Time To Go

Posted on by John Hawkins

Doug Hoffman is not a charismatic man. He also lived outside of NY-23 — and his campaign wasn’t very well run. Does that mean it was a mistake for conservatives to support him? No. Had Hoffman gotten elected in a Republican district like that one, he probably could have served in Congress for a long, […]

AGW Today: Attacking The Messenger

Posted on by William Teach

Just a continuation of the standard Climahysteric tactic of attacking the messenger, rather than dealing with the message Has anybody ever faced more ad hominem attacks than Al Gore? He claims he invented the internet (he didn’t); he’s fat (OK, so he was); his movie is full of lies (it wasn’t); his home burns more […]

 

Election: Democrats Should Be Nervous, Republicans Should Wake Up

I’m Thinking Democrats Are Not Going To Like “V”

Posted on by William Teach

So, ABC does a remake of the 1980’s mini-series “V,” turning it into a weekly show. Cool. Space monsters. Classic formula. Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology […]

 

Bilked: Global Warming Alarmists Filling Al Gore’s Pockets

Posted on by John Hawkins

If tomorrow, Al Gore came to the conclusion that manmade global warming was bunk, would he be willing to say so?
