Rush Limbaugh's stack on global warming

All this is a recipe to get people to sit idly by, bend over, grab the ankles and accept tax increases as the price for forgiveness and salvation for committing these sins against the planet. Now, this expert, Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu said scientists who support the man-made greenhouse gas theory disregard information from centuries ago when exploring the issue of global warming. Satellite images of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean have been available in the satellite era only [obviously!] since the 1960s and 1970s. 'Young researchers are interested in satellite data, which became available after 1975,' he said. 'All the papers since (the advent of satellites) show warming. That's what I call "instant climatology." I'm trying to tell young scientists, "You can't study climatology unless you look at a much longer time period."'" Now, why 1975? It's sort of important, because between 1940 and 1975 the planet was going through a period of cooling which led many scientists to believe in global cooling.

Mark Levin weighs in on the U.S. attorneys issue

"Throwing your own people to the liberal wolves over something that is fundamentally absurd — such as the firing of presidential appointees by the president — is not a sign of character or moral superiority. It's disloyal and self-destructive. Besides, when you reward this kind of politics, you get more of it. And the Democrats don't much care whether Gonzales is conservative or the eight U.S. attorneys were the greatest U.S. attorneys in American history. They didn't stop with John Bolton, they didn't stop with Donald Rumsfeld, they didn't stop with Lewis Libby, and they won't stop with Gonzales. Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and ultimately George Bush are in their sights. And there is little political downside for the Democrats to march on when the Republican and conservative response is so pusillanimous. "

Day pledges action on RCMP scandal

Mr. Day extended "a very open-ended invitation" to whistle-blowers to step forward.

"We want to make sure that people who have information about concerns have the confidence to come forward and know that they'll be heard and know that the problems will be dealt with," he said.

In a separate interview, Mr. Lewis told how he went to Mr. Zaccardelli in 2001 "to bring to his attention some abuses of authority and harassment by senior executives at the highest level underneath him, and the response, basically, was I was ignored. He told me he would do something and then chose not to."

He said that non-RCMP employees had been moved into the executive level of RCMP administration "and eventually they got their hands on the pension money and broke basically every rule in the book on contracting and hiring and spending."

Leave it to the Generals

Congressional Democrats' efforts to put their own stamp on the war in Iraq responds to a political instinct to do what sounds good rather than the military imperative of doing what is best calculated to work. House Democrats, under John Murtha's guidance, pushed through a bill that threatens to do a great deal of damage to our war effort and to our security. Their colleagues in the Senate followed suit. Both efforts show Congress at its worst -- giving far more weight to pork, pomp, and posturing than to our safety and constitutional traditions

Smuggled aliens to sue Texas deputy

Two illegal aliens plan a multimillion-dollar civil rights lawsuit against a Texas deputy who was sentenced to prison over an April 2005 incident in which the lawman shot at an alien-smuggling vehicle that he said had just tried to run him down.
Edwards County Deputy Sheriff Guillermo F. Hernandez, along with his boss, Sheriff Donald G. Letsinger, have been targeted in a pending lawsuit by Maricela Rodriguez-Garcia and Candido Garcia-Perez, two Mexicans who were being smuggled into the U.S. when they were injured by fragments of the lawman's bullets.
