Whacko Politics
The Actual State of the Union
I didn’t watch the event – like Rush says, “Who wants to listen to lies for two hours?” All I’m reading this morning is spending cuts for good things like defense and more spending and entitlements for the left’s special interests.

Green Machines or Mean Machines?
Nothing like a little graphic evidence to show where the popular spot is in the Ford exhibit at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. The media proclaimed the show was all about saving the planet with electric and gas-efficient vehicles to be the show’s main theme. You can see for yourself how the attendees voted with their feet. Top: Ford Trucks and SUV exhibit – bottom: Ford green vehicles exhibit.

Climate Quote of the Day
Regardless of what you think of global warming, the point is that politicians are ignoring inevitable, short-term threats — a flood in California, a hurricane hitting NYC, an earthquake in the Midwest, multiple genocidal dictators in Africa, etc. — while spending an inordinate amount of resources and dialogue on the long-term implications of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Greg wrote this at the bottom of a Planet Gore post about how the Australians may have failed to protect against their recent flooding disasters as a consequence of Aussie Greenbats predicting drought and ignoring the flood potential. The crazy bastards built desalinization plants rather than dams!
