Further proof of… global cooling?
Reports this weekend are showing that both Los Angeles and Australia are reporting record temperatures: low ones, that is!
Australia had its coldest day in 100 years this weekend, while the City of Angels recorded a temp of 69 degrees in mid-July… one of the coldest on record, with a day from 10 years ago coming closest to being that chilly.
So while Algore fights off sex charges and cries about global warming, it’s pretty clear that the evidence keeps piling up that either there is no consensus anymore, or it was premature at best to claim there is one.
It’s getting cooler of late, folks, not warmer. Global warming theory’s about as useful as broken fitness equipment.
When is the world gonna learn: Mel’s no good
When is the world gonna learn that Mel Gibson’s “no good, he’s no good, baby, he’s no good,” huh?
Just because a guy makes a movie about Jesus doesn’t make him a saint; Gibson got in trouble a few years ago for an anti-Semitic rant, and now Gibson’s proving his heart’s still in the same place: unrepentant.
The latest target of his hate-speech are blacks, as Gibson was recorded using the N-word frequently. I wonder if Danny Glover’s been told? After four Lethal Weapon movies, you’d think he might have something to say on the matter.
Anyway, even the best weight loss pills in the world won’t make Gibson attractive around Hollywood after this; William Morris Agency has dropped him as a client, and it’s all downhill from there, Mel.
Limbaugh joins LeBron
Radio host Rush Limbaugh had joined LeBron James in spurning New York and its escalating taxes for the more taxpayer-friendly environs of Florida; Limbaugh recently closed on the sale of his Manhattan apartment, selling it for about $11.5 million after paying around $5 million for it in 1994. That’s a decent capital gain for El Rushbo.
And it essentially completes Limbaugh’s move to Florida, breaking ties with the state that launched him to national stardom. Limbaugh has spent most of his time in Florida for the past several years, but the sale of his Manhattan apartment completes the severing of his Big Apple ties.
NBA superstar LeBron James chose Miami over New York when he decided to move from Cleveland in free agency, and the choice is estimated to keep an additional $12-$20 million in James’ pockets over the next five seasons. That’s not chump change, even for LeBron. It could even pay for a lot of much-needed adult acne treatments.
When will New York learn that raising taxes pushes people away and lowering them draws people in, creating a larger tax base pool to draw from?
Well, probably never; the state’s eternally Blue…
Dems worry as Obama becomes Big Bully
Forget about Orwell’s Big Brother; the Obama Administration is looking to become known by an even more ominous title: Big Bully. That’s the concern among the nations’ governors as the Obama Administration prepares to file suit against the state of Arizona because they don’t like the state’s immigration policy… which basically says, “Let’s act like we have one.”
Democratic governors are concerned primarily on the basis of how it could cost the party seats in this fall’s mid-term elections; they may not disagree with the challenge… they just want to win re-election first. Meanwhile, the GOP is warning how Obama’s bullying is basically an attempt by the Fed to grow its power even further beyond its Constitutionally-defined powers to make basically every law as something to be defined and decided at the Federal level.
That’s not a Constitutional Republic, folks; it’s socialism, and it’s about as useful as a 10-year-old taking prenatal vitamins.
