Hannity/Limbaugh fans most politcally savvy?
We can't have that! Time or the Censorship, er... Fairness Doctrine!!! Free National Enquirers for everyone! Go back to sleep America.
A Pew Research poll broke out groups based on where they got their news and asked 3 questions, the first (and most telling) being 'Which party controls Congress':
Maybe this explains why Conservatives are happier than Liberals?
I just wish they had included a category for Keith Olbermann viewers.

Al Gore must have been there somewhere
Snow fell as the House of Commons debated Global Warming yesterday - the first October fall in the metropolis since 1922.
Update:
According to MeteoNews, the Swiss lowlands received the most snow for any October since records began in 1931. Zurich received 20cm, beating a record of 14cm set in 1939.
It was a record for Oct. 29 and the second lowest temperature ever recorded in October since 1850.

Rich = $250,000/yr, er $200,000, or $150,000, or ...?
"Senator Obama has made a lot of promises. First, he said people making less than $250,000 would benefit from his plan.
"Then, this weekend, he announced in an ad that if you're a family making less than $200,000 you'll benefit - but yesterday right here in Pennsylvania, Senator Biden said tax relief should only go to 'middle-class people' - people making under $150,000 a year.
"At this rate, it won't be long before Senator Obama is right back to his vote (last year) that Americans making just $42,000 a year should get a tax increase."
Once again... whatever.

Thirty years of warmer temperatures go poof
A funny thing happened on the way to a melting Earth...
"Still, the number of climate change skeptics is growing rapidly. Because a funny thing is happening to global temperatures -- they're going down, not up."

Nobel Prize economists oppose Obama's plan
We are equally concerned with his proposals to increase tax rates on labor income and investment. His dividend and capital gains tax increases would reduce investment and cut into the savings of millions of Americans. His proposals to increase income and payroll tax rates would discourage the formation and expansion of small businesses and reduce employment and take-home pay, as would his mandates on firms to provide expensive health insurance.

"The coming liberal thugocracy"
Michael Barone of the Washington Times opines.
"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors," Barack Obama told a crowd in Elko, Nev. "I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face." Actually, Obama supporters are doing a lot more than getting into people's faces. They seem determined to shut people up. "

Paging Al Gore
Even the BBC has to admit it:
Global Temperatures 'to decrease'
Not very well written though:
"A minority of scientists question whether this means global warming has peaked and the earth has proved more resilient to greenhouse gases than predicted."
In truth, a "minority" (less than 50%) of scientists question whether "global warming" is anything more than smoke in the wind.

Climate Panel on the Hot Seat: The IPCC published its Fourth Assessment Report in 2007 predicting global warming will lead to widespread catastrophe if not mitigated, yet failed to provide the most basic requirement for effective climate policy: accurate temperature statistics.

US Senate Report on Global Warming
Hmmm.... Here's a report put out by the US Senate chronicling 400 scientists who doubt the wild claims of the "Global Warming" alarmists:
Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore.
Al Gore responds: They've - um - been bought off by big oil. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Who Needs Border Security?
Fort Huachuca, the nation's largest intelligence-training center, changed security measures in May after being warned that Islamist terrorists, with the aid of Mexican drug cartels, were planning an attack on the facility.
Fort officials changed security measures after sources warned that possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were to be smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high-powered weapons to attack the Arizona Army base, according to multiple confidential law enforcement documents obtained by The Washington Times.
More: According to the source who spoke with DEA intelligence agents, the weapons included two Milan anti-tank missiles, Soviet-made surface-to-air missiles, grenade launchers, long guns and handguns
Isn't that special...

The Knights Templar were Innocent!
Historically Anti-Semitic? Not France?!
The unpopularity of the Templars provided an opportunity for France's King Philip II (known as "the Fair" because of his good looks, not his judgement) to destroy them in order to seize their vast wealth. In 1306, Philip expelled all the Jews from France, and confiscated their assets. He then aimed at the Templars.

George Soros is killing America
How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely "NASA whistleblower" standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros' Open Society Institute , which gave him "legal and media advice"?
That's right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros' flagship "philanthropy," by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI's "politicization of science" program.
Read the whole thing. Its frightening that a billionaire immigrant to the United States in trying to destroy the very country that made him so very rich.

11% for Congress versus 29% for Bush. Bush doesn't care (really he never has) about his approval ratings and since he's not running again it makes no difference. Members of Congress on the other hand have an election in a year.
Way to go Democrats! Maybe you'll get under 10% next go around.

Here's an interesting story.

Somebody needs to tell these Iraqi Al-Qaeda types that Harry Reid, Nancy Peolsi, et al have declared them a local threat created by the United States, rather than part of a global jihad against Western Civilization.

Global Warming increases Polar Ice Cap
That's sure weird... You'd think there'd be less ice if it were getting hotter. I guess you have you be smart like Al Gore* to understand apparent contridictions like this.
* "Gore's undergraduate transcript from Harvard is riddled with C's, including a C-minus in introductory economics, a D in one science course, and a C-plus in another. "In his sophomore year at Harvard," the Post reported, "Gore's grades were lower than any semester recorded on Bush's transcript from Yale." Moreover, Gore's graduate school record - consistently glossed over by the press - is nothing short of shameful. In 1971, Gore enrolled in Vanderbilt Divinity School where, according to Bill Turque, author of "Inventing Al Gore," he received F's in five of the eight classes he took over the course of three semesters. Not surprisingly, Gore did not receive a degree from the divinity school. Nor did Gore graduate from Vanderbilt Law School, where he enrolled for a brief time and received his fair share of C's. (Bush went on to earn an MBA from Harvard)."

Ban Guns: Double you Crime Rate
Despite a ban on handguns introduced in 1997 after 16 children and their teacher were shot dead in the Dunblane massacre the previous year, their use in crimes has almost doubled to reach 4,671 in 2005-06. Official figures show that although Britain has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the world, firearm use in crime has risen steadily.
Imagine that! A disarmed public faces increased gun crime. Who could have predicted that?

All the News that's fit to Fake
Randall Hoven of the American Thinker does a good job of putting it all together. He lists over 60 incidents of "Journalists" (and others) fabricating or plagiarizing stories.
Who is it that's killing Muslims?
Try this:
In Somalia’s long-running civil war, at least 550,000 Muslims have perished. Just one 1988 aerial bombardment ordered by dictator Siad Barre flattened Somaliland’s regional capital, Hargeisa, and slaughtered 50,000.
or this:
In Iraq, the 1980-88 war with Iran produced more than 1.5 million Muslim deaths. Saddam’s endless domestic purges added another million, mostly Shia and Kurd deaths. The current Sunni-Shia confrontation is estimated to have caused another 100,000 deaths to date.

"We've got to get the job done there," Obama said of Afghanistan. "And that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."
Brilliant! That's exactly what we're doing in Afghanistan: "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians". He'll be a perfect Commander-in-Chief.

Congressperson Giffords

Tucson, AZ 85712
Dear Congressperson Giffords,
I certainly hope your recent vote on the Emergency Military Supplemental for our troops is not an indication of how you will be voting in the future.
I don’t recall you running on a platform of Surrender and Pork with regards to Iraq, however your recent vote indicates that those are exactly what you believe in.
I would like an explanation as to why you favor $20 Billion in vote-buying Pork attached to an Emergency Military Supplemental. You voted in favor of this.
I would also like to know how retreat from Iraq – which our enemies (Al-Qaeda) have called the central front in their war against us – is good for the United States. When your enemy declares a region to be the central front in a war, it seems counter-intuitive to me that our response should be to abandon the region… Again, that is what you voted for.
Thank you in advance for your response.

Correction
Mark Levin tonight was talking about the net cost to the United States if we legalize the illegals. The cost of "unskilled workers" should have been the net of $13,000 each per year, rather than the gross of $22,449. But its still plenty bad.
If we legalize 15 million illegals, that's an additional cost to the United States $195 Billion dollars per year !? !
Think the Iraq/Afghanistan wars costs alot?
President Bush just recently asked Congress for less than half that much - $103B - for 2007 ...

112 Cars 'torched' every night in France
The French intifada is getting worse.
"The figures are stark. An average of 112 cars a day have been torched across France so far this year and there have been 15 attacks a day on police and emergency services. Nearly 3,000 police officers have been injured in clashes this year. Officers have been badly injured in four ambushes in the Paris outskirts since September. Some police talk of open war with youths who are bent on more than vandalism."

Sweeping the Legislature Aside in Missouri
Missouri's Supreme Court today upheld a lower courts ruling that the "Voter ID" initiative approved by both the legislative and executive branches was unconstitutional by creating a burden on voters (Ruling).
I thought (like others) that it would be interesting to look at the makeup of the court and who was governor when they were appointed:
Chief Justice Michael Wolff appointed 1998 by Mel Carnahan (D)
Justice Laura Stith appointed 2001 by Bob Holden (D)
Justice Richard Teitelman appointed 2002 by Bob Holden (D)
Justice Mary Russel appointed 2004 by Bob Holden (D)
Justice Ronnie White appointed 1995 by Mel Carnahan (D)
Justice Stephen Limbaugh, Jr. appointed 1992 by John Ashcroft (R)
Justice William Price Jr appointed 1992 by John Ashcroft but sat out of this case (haven't tracked down why yet) in favor of former Justice Charles Blackmar who was appointed by Christopher Bond (R) in 1982.
This was a 6-1 decision. The only dissenter was Stephen Limbaugh, Jr. (appointed by John Ashcroft (R)). So, every Democratic appointee along with a retired Republican appointee decided that IDs are bad for Democracy.
Only Ashcroft's appointee (Limbaugh, Jr.) has any sense.
And they say elections don't matter.
I thought (like others) that it would be interesting to look at the makeup of the court and who was governor when they were appointed:
Chief Justice Michael Wolff appointed 1998 by Mel Carnahan (D)
Justice Laura Stith appointed 2001 by Bob Holden (D)
Justice Richard Teitelman appointed 2002 by Bob Holden (D)
Justice Mary Russel appointed 2004 by Bob Holden (D)
Justice Ronnie White appointed 1995 by Mel Carnahan (D)
Justice Stephen Limbaugh, Jr. appointed 1992 by John Ashcroft (R)
Justice William Price Jr appointed 1992 by John Ashcroft but sat out of this case (haven't tracked down why yet) in favor of former Justice Charles Blackmar who was appointed by Christopher Bond (R) in 1982.
This was a 6-1 decision. The only dissenter was Stephen Limbaugh, Jr. (appointed by John Ashcroft (R)). So, every Democratic appointee along with a retired Republican appointee decided that IDs are bad for Democracy.
Only Ashcroft's appointee (Limbaugh, Jr.) has any sense.

Crossing the border on an elephant while a mariachi band plays. You gotta love it!
I saw this guy on Fox (I believe), but here's another interview of him from msnbc. Please ignore Rita's failing voice... I feel sorry for her.
I want to learn more about this guy. I've not heard of him before and I love this stunt.
Update: Here's his website and here's the link to his interviews.

Harry Reid's illegal 'scheme'?
Harry Reid Hangs Up on AP Reporter
Assuming I have what facts we know straight, and as a Real Estate Broker here in Arizona, it seems to me that transferring this land out of his personal name would be a vital step in securing the zoning change. Fighting the local rezoning boards would seem pretty inappropriate for a Senate minority 'leader'.
By transferring this land to a 'holding company', he created the environment whereby he could secure the rezone and thus reap the profits without anyone the wiser.
Until the AP showed up that is.
That type of manipulation would be unethical (leading to hearings and possibly severe sanctions) for any licensed real estate agent (not just brokers) in Arizona. Are we held to a higher standard than Senators?
It also seems to me that this could easily be considered an illegal 'scheme' or even a 'conspiracy' by today's standards.

Are you kidding me?
Thanks to MEMRI via LGF for this.
"Munir ‘Arab: She was possessed by a jinn. The jinn used to send out small notes from inside her, on which it was written: “This girl will never marry.” “This girl is destined to do abominable things.” It wrote repulsive things, God forbid."
I don't even know where to start...

Civil War comes to France?
Here's an interesting article posted at Britain's Telegraph.
"Michel Thoomis, the secretary general of the hardline Action Police trade union, has written to Mr Sarkozy warning of an "intifada" on the estates and demanding that officers be given armoured cars in the most dangerous areas."

Photo Fraud
Here's a great site with a slideshow including a voiceover showing many examples of media manipulation of photos primarily to make Israel looks bad. I know this is not really new, but this compilation is one I haven't seen.

Its Time
Can we send over the bombers now?
"IRAN is seeking to import large consignments of bomb-making uranium from the African mining area that produced the Hiroshima bomb, an investigation has revealed.

A United Nations report, dated July 18, said there was “no doubt” that a huge shipment of smuggled uranium 238, uncovered by customs officials in Tanzania, was transported from the Lubumbashi mines in the Congo."

Do not miss this article!
Visitor Davis Hanson has written one of the best analyses I have yet read about the current state of the world.
It boils down to this: The entire world of liberals are again living in pre-Nazi times. Appease, Appease, Appease.
Appeasement worked so well with Hitler.

Can the Fairtax be made reality?
Please visit www.fairtax.org and read, read, read.
I am hopeful that momentum that seems to be building will continue.

Larken gives up?
Well it appears to me that Larken Rose has been browbeaten by his wife into give up his fight. Not that I blame her for doing it and him for acceding to her demands.
I sure wish I knew more about that trial. Its the kind of issue that only the SCOTUS can really decide with any certainty, but that appears unlikely to happen.
