MORNING LINKS –first two are bumped from overnight links Item: (April Fool’s joke): The 2010 All New Omobile! ITEM (ah, if only it weren’t a joke): Obama forces GM chief out, puts Reid, Pelosi on leave ITEM (not a joke, but wouldn’t it be ironic?): Penn State researchers have discovered how to use microbes to […]
OVERNIGHT LINKS ITEM: Hey! Al Gore and I both celebrated Earth Hour with our lights on! We’re buds now! As for Kentucky, heck, they celebrated a whole Earth Week not long ago! ITEM: Creeping socialism/fascism alert: Obama tells GM CEO to hit the road. For firms and organizations still considering taking government money, there’s a […]
OVERNIGHT LINKS (and don’t go waiting for any updates, either) ITEM: Headline of the week: “Spacetime May Have Fractal Properties on a Quantum Scale.” ITEM: Economic common sense from … Germany? ITEM: There is some justice in the world, after all: “Vindictive people make less money.” ITEM: On the other hand, this explains a lot: […]
MORNING LINKS (Gotta post!) ITEM: Hey, “Earth Hour” is tonight, another blip of self-congratulatory, feel-good environmental idiocy and irrelevance. Here’s how I think we should really celebrate Earth Hour (from Lucifer’s Hammer by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle; and if you haven’t read it lately, why the hell not?): Be the First In Your Block […]
EARLY MORNING LINKS — they’ll still be brief, because I’m still busy ITEM: The mainstream media tells us how to cope with difficult times: eat more candy (NY Times), play more (USA Today). No, really. ITEM: Think of it as evolution in action: Josh Freeze comes up with a novel (and brilliant) tiered pricing structure […]
MORNING LINKS. ITEM: That didn’t take long: President Obama apologizes for his “Special Olympics” remark on the Tonight Show last night. In the meantime, the New York Times beclowns itself (hat tip to Strategy Memo at Real Clear Politics) by saying: “In his appearance with Mr. Leno, Mr. Obama walked a tightrope between projecting good […]
AFTERNOON UPDATES: ITEM: NASA Scientist and Moonbat Warmist James Hansen says that “The democratic process doesn’t quite seem to be working” with regards to climate change and is calling for protests and direct action (Wikipedia: “Direct action can include nonviolent and violent activities which target persons, groups, or property deemed offensive to the direct action […]
From the amazing iTulip.com site, a graph that well explains the likelihood of the idea that we are in a new “bull market” just because we had 4 days where the stock market did not dive.
Does the phrase “going to Hell in a handbasket” mean anything to you? I’m starting this post on Tuesday evening, with “American Idol” on the background. I can hardly keep up with the gaffes, mendacity, and sheer idiocy coming from the Obama Administration and the Democratic Congress on a daily basis. And trust me when […]
. . . will be later today. Right now, it’s Tuesday morning, so it must be link time: President Obama’s War on Business continues. As I noted yesterday, I’m not happy with the AIG payout, but it is both unseemly and dangerous to have the President of the United States singling out and using taxpayer […]
