New Federal Bureaucracy Proposed to Deal With Carbon Emissions
Just how far is all this global warming nonsense going? Well, on Tuesday, four senators proposed a bill that would create a new federal bureaucracy to oversee the growing multi-billion dollar carbon trading market. Just what we need, right? Another monolithic bureaucracy, this one designed to help solve a problem the existence of which is greatly questioned. As Duke University reported…
Paper: Hot Temps in Reno Likely Result of Man-Made Global Warming
In an article written for the Reno-Gazette Journal, the implication is that hotter temperatures in the city can be laid on the doorstep of man-caused global warming. The basis for the article is a nationwide study by U.S. PIRG, an "environmental advocacy group."Among its findings:In 2006, Reno experienced 74 days where the temperature hit at least 90 degrees -- 21 days more than the historical…
2007 Hurricane Forecast Reduced, Will Media Care
In May, when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted an above average hurricane season, the media reported the announcement with a vigor. Two months later, with no serious hurricanes yet hitting the mainland, a private forecaster has reduced its tropical storm expectations. Less hurricanes should be good news, especially for folks along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, right…

As Expected, CNN's YouTube Debate Skews Leftward
In the lead-up to Monday night’s YouTube debate with the Democrat presidential candidates, CNN ran prime-time specials previewing videos that might be featured during the debate, and most of those featured came from the liberal side.

More Al Gore Hypocrisy: ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ Wasn’t Carbon Ne
At some point in time, it seems logical that the name of the Democrat Party must be changed to the Do As I Say, Not As I Do Party. In another fine example of such hypocrisy, it appears that despite claims by Al Gore that all of the CO2 emitted into the air as a result of the production of his schlockumentary "An Inconvenient Truth" were offset with carbon credits, nothing can be further from the…
WashPost Interviewer Gives SUV Owners Little Respect
In the July 22 Washington Post, writer Monica Hesse interviewed Ron DeFore of the SUV Owners of America (SUVOA), for her Style section front-pager, "A Man Who Wants SUVs to Get More R-E-S-P-E-C-T." But far from respect, Hesse's interview at turns shifted from an almost "Daily Show"-like mockery to an unqualified parroting of liberal talking points. You can find her interview here, but I found…
Bill Maher: ‘I Love America; It’s Americans I Can’t Stand
As if allowing this anti-American Bush-hater to have his own series wasn't enough, the brilliant folks at HBO decided to give Bill Maher another comedy special to rail against all things conservative. For those on the left hoping for some truly vile attacks on the GOP, Saturday's "Bill Maher: The Decider" surely must have hit the spot. In fact, of the 60 minutes Maher was given, upwards of 40…
