Free kibbles

RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS:

Wiretap application exposes AG Holder for lying about his knowledge of Fast and Furious, but the people who work for him decline to prosecute, naturally.

TAX AND SPEND:

A couple of days ago I predicted that Republicans would team up with Democrats to pass the highway bill. I claimed they were just grandstanding. They passed the bill on Friday so the press wouldn't talk about it.
"Leaders in the House and Senate negotiated the giant package, leaving no doubt that it would have enough support to pass."
"The House voted 373-52 in favor of the bill, which was supported by every voting Democrat, while 52 Republicans opposed it. In the Senate, the tally was 74-19, with 23 Republicans joining every Democrat in voting for the measure."
Imagine that. Predicting this politics stuff is easy.

HEALTH CARE:

I have no confidence in this poll claiming most Americans want to just accept Obamacare. This poll showing an eleven point advantage for those opposing the law seems much more likely to me.

Democrats claim Obamacare is not a tax. Republicans confused about the tax. The argument over whether Obamacare is a tax or not is ridiculous. I think it's most likely the Bilderbergers convinced Roberts to support Obamacare. Obamacare one of the greatest looting programs ever devised, and this decision will likely boost Romney. The Bilderbergers win on both counts. Obamacare actually contains 21 taxes.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Intellectual property holders resist the transfer of technology desired by the environmentalists. I love it when one faction of government restricts the agenda of another.

Storms cut power to 3 million. Four hundred ninety two thousand without power around Washington D.C., making politicians look bad. Twenty thousand people locally still without power.
"“We anticipate that 95 percent of the 175,000 customers impacted by Friday afternoon’s storm will be restored by Wednesday night,” said utility spokeswoman Leslie Sprigg said in a news release.
 Sprigg said by 5 p.m. Sunday, the number of customers still in the dark was down to 25,000. A second, smaller storm that ripped through the northern Miami Valley boosted that figure 52,000. Crews worked through the night to bring that number down.
“We expect that smaller, localized outages will be restored by Friday,” Sprigg said. Crews are continuing to work around the clock."
It's absurd that we're using 19th century technology to deliver power in the 21st century. Victory for AC power.

Now we're getting alarmist predictions about solar cycle 24, supposedly lasting until 2026. Solar cycle 24 started in 2008, so that would mean an 18 year solar cycle even though the average is eleven years.

Because of increasing CO2, trees are making a comeback on the African savannah.

POLITICS:

Condoleezza Rice is suddenly in the news sounding a lot like a Vice President.

Establishment Democrats pull election shenanigans in Charlie Rangel's New York primary.
"It’s a bizarre situation that just keeps getting weirder, a strange case of missing precincts, questionable ballots and utter confusion over who’s to blame for the mess and when the race might be settled."
What's bizarre about fixing elections? Fixing of elections is as old as elections.

Factcheck.org shoots down Obama's attack on Romney for outsourcing jobs. What does he care? The mainstream media will back him up. The liberal blogosphere will back him up. Liberals talking to each other will back him up.

MISC:

CERN scientists believe they have discovered the "God" particle, the particle that gives other particles mass.
"But two independent teams of physicists are cautious after decades of work and billions of dollars spent. They don’t plan to use the word “discovery.” They say they will come as close as possible to a “eureka” announcement without uttering a pronouncement as if from the scientific mountaintop."
In other words, they haven't found it. They're just making stuff up. This isn't science. It's a press conference.

The hoops government forces Amazon to jump through in order to remain profitable.
