More Climategate Data Manipulation
Today’s example of CRU cherry=picking and flat-out changing data that didn’t show man-made global warming comes from Willis Eschenbach at Watts Up With That?. It turns out that what some climate scientists call “homogenizing” data, the rest of us would call “lying.” One thing is clear from this. People who say that “Climategate was only… Continue reading More Climategate Data Manipulation
New York Times Tells Instapundit to STFU
Some The New York Times employee took time out from their busy schedule of losing money and praising Obama to tell Instapundit Glenn Reynolds to “STFU.” This is indeed amusing. However, I think it’s high time we stopped trotting out the “look at the mighty newspaper taking on the lowly blogger” cliches, even for the… Continue reading New York Times Tells Instapundit to STFU

Area Man Takes Responsibility for Own Problems
In an odd exposé that has left the worlds of politics and academia abuzz, a local homeless person revealed yesterday that he only blamed himself for his failures. “The poor man needs help. Anybody that takes responsibility for his own actions is certifiably insane.”
Kentucky’s Tax Dollars At Work
From the fine folks over at The Corner comes this wonderful, two-part story of tax dollars at work. It seems that the Louisville African American Think Tank wanted to put on a two day “urban health summit,” and applied for, and received, a government grant. Except there seems to be a few tiny problems: The… Continue reading Kentucky’s Tax Dollars At Work
You know who else hated Christmas?
Hitler! (Actually, the whole “War on Christmas” thing isn’t of great concern to me (except as an example of the much larger and deadlier problem of general political correctness), but I couldn’t resist a one-word Godwin, especially since Mike Godwin is on my Facebook friends list, since we argued with each other way back in… Continue reading You know who else hated Christmas?
