When it comes to breaking all campaign promises, the Administration does the Nation the greatest disservice when it operates like a crime syndicate.

Choose Your Holiday Greeting
To All My Liberal Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
To All My Conservative Friends:
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A History of Skepticism
Over three and a half years ago, the cat was already out of the bag that the University of East Anglia falsified their data. According to Bob Carter of Queensland, Australia, who wrote an article in March of 2006. We posted it then and will repeat it now that the alarmists have been outed . . .
Global Warming takes a Break
More and more evidence surfaces about the true nature of global warming. Real scientists looking at the hard evidence of the phenomenon, realize that claims of man-made greenhouse gasses causing warming are false.
Right: Current SOHO Sunspot Image.
Professor Bob Carter, a geologist at James Cook University, Queensland, who is engaged in paleoclimate research, wrote this excellent article addressing the “Man-made global warming” myth:
There IS a problem with global warming… it stopped in 1998
For many years now, human-caused climate change has been viewed as a large and urgent problem. In truth, however, the biggest part of the problem is neither environmental nor scientific, but a self-created political fiasco. Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase (there was actually a slight decrease, though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero).
Yes, you did read that right. And also, yes, this eight-year period of temperature stasis did coincide with society’s continued power station and SUV-inspired pumping of yet more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Government Healthcare for the Herd – Illustrated
In poll after poll, the voice of the American people is clear: They don’t like the government-run health care experiment that the Obama-Pelosi-Reid Democrats are ramming through Congress because they think it’ll raise taxes, raise costs, increase the deficit, and reduce quality of care.
Hat Tip to Damsel for the photo – taken in Tombstone Arizona (clickenbiggen machen).
Not Exactly the Sistine Chapel
Damsel and I saw Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam” on the ceiling of “Capella Sistina,” the Sistine Chapel. This cartoon is a crude, but clever satire of the “Job Creationism” this Administration and Congress has tried to foist upon the American Taxpayer as a ‘legitimate’ tactic.
Critics of the administration (including us) believe that until the tax burden is lifted from the small business owners and working class taxpayers, jobs will continue to decline. The recent 0.2 percent ‘reduction. in unemployment is likely to the credit of year-end hiring bubble for the Christmas sales season.
It’s interesting that God in the cartoon is depicted as Uncle Sam. To all you entitlement freaks out there, he’s your Uncle Sam – Not your Sugar Daddy!
