Saturday morning funnies
Conan O’Brian has had William Shatner reading excerpts from “Going Rogue” by Sarah Palin. Friday night, Palin got a chance to turn the tables. The look on Shatner’s face is priceless. Hat tip to Gateway Pundit. ..bruce w..

Capitalism red in tooth and claw
Companies are born, live, thrive, dwindle, and then often die or are absorbed by other firms. Being 56 years old, I’ve seen a lot of that first-hand and have worked for several firms that no longer exist. Over at 24/7 Wall Street, Jon Ogg and Douglas McIntyre have picked ten brands that they think will […]
Climategate commentary from the past
Words to ponder (emphasis mine): “There is one feature I notice that is generally missing in “cargo cult science.” . . . It’s a kind of scientific integrity, a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty—a kind of leaning over backwards. For example, if you’re doing an experiment, you should […]
Climategate: the knives start to come out
I’ve avoided doing a lot of blogging on Climategate because so many other sites and bloggers are doing such a great job, while the Left gets increasingly shrill (“Pay no attention to the scientists behind the curtain!”). But a new critical point has been reached: the Warmist scientific elite are starting to turn on one […]
Obama Delivers The Surge

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I am grateful for more than I can express: family, faith, friends, country, health, the opportunities of life, and above all my sweetheart, Sandra. God bless us, everyone. ..bruce w..
“Hide the Decline”, the music video
I haven’t written much about ‘Climategate’ because so many others are doing such a great job (for example, see here, here, and here). But this video (hat tip to Ace of Spades) pretty much sums things up (and with a catchy tune, too!). ..bruce w..
The silence of the (liberal) sheep
(Hat tip to Blue Crab Boulevard.) I certainly remember Democrats and the mainstream media (the same thing, really) ranting about the millions of jobs lost under Bush, not to mention the climbing deficits. Funny how quiet they are now. I’m not sure we will see unemployment under Obama get back down to the highest point […]
Monday morning comic
The sad thing is, it’s true. An electric car is, in effect, a NIMBY-mobile. Unless you’ve got your own clean energy source (e.g., a large solar panel farm on your property — and here’s a shout-out to Jim Hamerly), you’re likely still impacting the environment — just at a distance. ..bruce w..
