The truth? The Obama administration all along has been captive to the cult of man-made global warming as expressed by Al Gore, and saw high fossil-fuel prices as a good thing in reducing their use and thus “cooling” the planet, while make subsidized wind, solar, and hybrid power competitive. Worse still, the Obama technocrats naively thought that changing habits, rather than recessionary times, had temporarily lowered demand and thus prices, and were completely caught off guard when a recovering global economy, expanding Chinese and Indian appetites, and unrest in the Middle East all sent oil futures skyrocketing. Had we opened up federal lands for drilling three years ago and encouraged the private sector to drill at breakneck speed as a matter both of national security and national financial solvency, we might well have had at least the expectation of 1–2 extra million barrels coming on line that would have dampened speculation.

"the truth"

nerdlinger, just thinkin about some pols he has the hots for

Hell, I think Rachel Maddow’s kinda cute, on her less butch days.

nordlinger you dog!!

I only just now caught that K-Lo column about the SNL skit, linked above. I think it is just wonderful that she saw fit to quote the entire skit, and that she seems so confident that her two, brief, not-very-insightful dismissals of it were more than enough to offset the impact of the skit she quotes!

This is like a person showing how harmless a knife is by grabbing the blade instead of the handle and lecturing you how a little blood never hurt anyone.

amazing how he gets from trayvon martin to immigration restriction. when the only tool you have is a hammer, eh?

There are dozens of kids in my boys’ schools who are half Asian and half white and no one even imagines them to be “biracial,”

lol

along the way he manages to offer maybe the most accurate description of how american racism works i have seen in conservative media, ever.

feel like when this incident happened there should have been a hand from god coming out of the sky to point at the corner and say just stfu

there is a valid point lurking in there that is drowning under a pathological amount of victim-blaming and deflection

Someone is butthurt, and this time it's not from sitting at the computer all day.

underlying theme of every corner post on trayvon martin:

"see we knew all along he was guilty of something"

Well, that settles that:

Re: Me and Black America
By Peter Kirsanow

Jonah, the liberal response to your column is only partially a function of your not being black. It’s also, perhaps chiefly, a function of your being conservative. To many liberals, conservative commentary on black America is perforce illegitimate, ill-informed, ignorant, and deleterious to the interests of blacks.

As the saying goes, I’ve been black all my life. As opposed to many of the elites who dismiss my viewpoints, I live in the inner-city (Cleveland). But because I’m conservative, my comments are often dismissed as “inauthentic” or otherwise illegitimate (and met with not an insignificant degree of hostility).

I mean I can't even

Well, shit, if he's in downtown Cleveland, I can have him beaten up by this afternoon.

I think it is the mustache, not the conservatism.

This has left the EPA’s second premise — that global warming would be a harmful development — largely unchallenged. This is unfortunate, because while it is entirely possible that the earth may be warming — as it has done so many times in the past — there is no rational basis whatsoever to support the contention that carbon-dioxide-driven global warming would be on the whole harmful to life and civilization. Quite the contrary: All available evidence supports the contention that human CO2 emissions offer great benefits to the earth’s community of life.

All available evidence supports the contention that human CO2 emissions offer great benefits to the earth's community of life people who can afford mitigation.

i like to go to hospitals to fuck with ppl's life support systems. u never know, i might accidentally optimize it, and the patient will end up better off than before. there's really no rational basis to think that the only outcome is the patient's death.

No surprise that Gregory Benford is a big fan.

the commenters on there who are like "don't worry about sea levels, we'll just build some dykes," what can you say to these people?

mercantilism via climate change

What seemed to be Chuck Colson’s fall from grace in the mid-1970s was really the opposite. It was the first step on an ascension to true courage and service. His life is a testament to how redemption, so often debased and abused in a 24/7 news cycle obsessed with celebrity and scandal, can be astonishingly powerful and real.
