Untitled JR at GREENIE WATCH - Since when is speaking AT the same as
speaking FOR?* The post below is from the far-Left "Daily Kos". They
do not as yet know what Curry will say. But you must not even speak at some
places. Just being in the company of conservatives discredits a person,
apparently. In Communist and Fascist regimes you could be executed for the

interesting comments from Dr. Tim Ball at the end of this post. This is just one more absolutely clear
demonstration of the abuse honest researchers receive when questioning the religious
tenets of the green movement. And right

one.

Newcastle in 1878 - WINSTON Churchill famously said that, democracy is the
worst form of government except for all the others. Indeed when everyone has
the opportunity to have a say it can be difficult to keep everyone marching
together in the same direction, at the same speed, repeating the same mantra.
Of course, getting to the truth often [...]
New paper links Arctic sea ice extent to absorption of sunlight by clouds - The Hockeyschtick

Atmospheres finds Arctic sea ice concentrations at the low of each summer are

in early summer, a phenomenon “not represented in most of current climate
models.” According to…

Consumer Protection
How is Allowing Customers to Not Pay for What They
Don’tWant a Bad Thing?When words no longer have specific meanings – they no
longer have any meaning. Words represent concepts – we must all agree on their
definitions or we lose their concept representation value. If words’
definitions are warped – their usefulness is eviscerated. If
“up” is suddenly, repeatedly used to mean “down” – without anyone calling out
the linguistic abuse – it ceases to be useful. And our language – our ability
to communicate – is damaged. Why does this happen? The late,
inordinately great George Orwell explains: “The decline of language must
ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad
influence of this or that individual writer.” The Left are the masters
of this language abuse.
Economics
McDonald’s tells us why the
market will collapse - Marc Faber has long predicted that a
collapse in U.S. stocks is coming. On Thursday he reiterated that call, saying
there is fresh evidence that a bear market is ahead—courtesy of the Golden
Arches. On Tuesday, McDonald's reported that global same-store sales in August
fell 3.7 percent in August, well short of expectations. The worst drop occurred
in the Asia-Pacific region on the back of a Chinese meat safety scandal, but
even U.S. sales slid 2.8 percent. For Faber, those results are a perfect
example of the damage being done by central banks—and the harbinger of more bad
news to come.
Why the Ex-Im fight matters
- Many
liberal writers agree that our government shouldn't be subsidizing Wall Street
lenders, foreign buyers, and major U.S. manufacturers through taxpayer-backed
financing for exports — but they still can't bring themselves to side with
those filthy Tea Partiers trying to kill the Export-Import
Bank. Washington Post columnist
Steven Pearlstein can't really defend Ex-Im, but he declares it "disappointing" that conservatives are
waging their anti-corporate
welfare debate on the battlefield of Ex-Im. Why? Because he sees
other corporate welfare programs as worse — the Small Business Administration, crop subsidies,
crop-insurance subsidies, ethanol
mandate, federal flood insurance, shipping subsidies, corporate tax loopholes,
and so on….

Ebola — time
for action
I trained in microbiology so I’ve watched the Ebola situation unfold with quiet
dread. When my favourite lecturer was asked what was worst of the worst
infectious epidemics he could imagine, he responded that the sum of all fears
would be a cross between Ebola and Newcastle’s disease. It would be a highly
fatal hemorrhagic disease, combined with a highly contagious virus spread by
birds. It’s time to talk of the dark dark possibility that one mutation could
bring — the aerosolization of Ebola. As long as this Filovirus stays in its
current form, spread only through direct contact... more »

For the Left, the Ray Rice episode is an opportunity to “reprogram the way we

country, it is important to understand that while very few kids and young
adults are watching Fox News (or news programs of any kind, for that matter),
they inhale sports programming. It’s ubiquitous — television, radio, the
Internet. And thus equally unavoidable is sports commentary, more and more of
which has less and less to do with sports. Tendentious “s... more »

Wisconsin's Secret War – The three-judge panel of
the U.S.Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit cut through attorney
arguments with the efficiency of a buzz saw on Tuesday, eliminating anything
the court found extraneous to the legal questions of the day: Whether a lower
court had the right to shut down a politically charged John Doe investigation
in Wisconsin, and whether a civil rights lawsuit filed against the
investigation’s prosecutors should go on. At one point, legal counsel for John
Doe special prosecutor Francis Schmitz went into a flowery oration about the
“career prosecutors” who were merely “fulfilling their oaths of office” when
they launched a two-year secret investigation into dozens of conservative
organizations in Wisconsin. Judge William Bauer cut him off with a question: “Who commences a John Doe
proceeding?”

Public Corruption: EPA
GOPs Charge Environmental Lobby Getting
‘Unprecedented Access’ to EPA Officials - Access allowed NRDC "to influence EPA policy decisions and
achieve its own private agenda," Issa and Vitter say. Republicans in both the House
and Senate are opening inquiries into what they maintain is the improper
influence the Natural Resources Defense Council has on the Environmental
Protection Agency policies.
Rep.
Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight & Government
Reform Committee, and Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), ranking member on the Senate
Environment and Public Works Committee, maintain the NRDC played a dominant
role in developing proposed regulations that will limit carbon emissions from
existing coal-fired power plants. Issa
and Vitter are seeking documents to determine the extent of the NRDC’s
influence and whether the New York-based environmental group and the agency
engaged in inappropriate collusion. In a
letter to EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, Issa and the Republicans on the
Senate panel asserted that the NRDC had “unprecedented access to high-level EPA
officials,” which “allowed it to influence EPA policy decisions and achieve its
own private agenda.”
