Free kibbles

FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

The House voted 241 o 178 in a useless vote to overturn the FCC's new net neutrality regulations. That and a pile of dirt will get you a pile of dirt.

TAX AND SPEND:

The demagogues are out in force. Yesterday we heard the Republican/Ryan budget cut $4 trillion over ten years. Today we heart it cuts $6 trillion. Both are wrong. Today's budget is around $14 trillion.Neither Ryan's budget, the president's budget, or any other budget proposal reduces that number. It's all a lie. Every budget presented by the establishment parties will increase the looting and the debt. Don't buy the lies. Please.

HEALTH CARE:

Government refuses to remedy a drug shortage that it caused that is killing people because another branch of government wouldn't allow the shortage to be resolved in a timely fashion anyway. You can't make this stuff up.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Climate frauds like to ignore the climate effects of that giant nuclear furnace in the sky that lights up our world we call the sun.
"Dr. Vincent Courtillot is a professor of geophysics at the University Paris-Diderot and Chair of paleomagnetism and geodynamics of the Institut Universitaire de France. In the recent lecture below he explains how solar cycles control the climate by influence on cloud formation (the cosmic ray theory of Svensmark et al) and via influence on ocean oscillations and length of day. Dr. Courtillot notes that IPCC climate computer models do not correlate with observations and that temperature trends vary substantially between North America and Europe (which is contrary to IPCC computer model predictions).He also notes that while the total solar irradiance (TSI) only varies by about .1% over a solar cycle, the solar UV varies by about 10% and that secondary effects on cloud formation may vary up to 30% over solar cycles. The IPCC computer models dismiss the role of the sun by only considering the small variations of the TSI and ignore the large changes in the most energetic and influential part of the solar spectrum – the ultraviolet."
They ignore it because they're not scientists. They're political activists masquerading as scientists, producing pseudo-science to promote their political agenda and enrich themselves at taxpayer expense.

POLICE STATE:

Judge rules prosecution can't play newly discovered tape in Bonds case. Good for the judge.

WAR:

Obama considers Gen. Petraeus to head the CIA. I agree this makes him more likely to run for president in 2016. Why would Obama do that?

No matter how cynical you are, every day makes it worse. For example, today we learn that commander of the recently publicized civilian kill team in Afghanistan received a wrist-slap.
"The investigation into those responsible for the Afghanistan "kill team" tactics led to "a letter of admonition" of Col. Harry D. Tunnell IV, reports the Military Times on Tuesday."
"An Army investigation finds no “causal relationship” between Col. Harry D. Tunnell IV’s aggressive leadership and the killings, but it criticizes Tunnell for neglectfulness that created a climate ripe for misconduct.The investigation, first reported by Der Spiegel on Monday, ended in a letter of admonition for Tunnell, per I Corps Commander Lt. Gen Curtis “Mike” Scaparotti."
I'm speechless. Anybody trying to make the case that US forces are the good guys will fail because of this. It's one thing to find a criminal unit and prosecute it. It's another to find it and absolve it. As much as I distrusted government ten years ago or one year ago, I'm stunned at the rate corruption is overtaking every government activity. I can't imagine how true believers feel. I was never a true believer, I never trusted government, yet I'm amazed.

MISC:

Linux fool claims he has defeated Microsoft while I and most every other computer in the world suffers through Windows. I guess I could claim I had defeated gravity in the market of throwing a ball in the air even though I'm stuck to this world. It's funny to see smart people behave like idiots. Then again, that's pretty normal.

Heroes at Fukushima plug water leak into the ocean. Because of political correctness, these heroes will never be recognized for their devotion and sacrifice to their fellow man to the extent they deserve.
