"For the more historically minded, it's a time for nostalgia. The past comes alive as Chicago's grand tradition of corruption is sustained for another generation. As the Chicago Tribune once wrote, 'corruption has been as much a part of the landscape as corn, soybeans and skyscrapers.' According to the Chicago Sun-Times, as of 2006, when Blago's predecessor, George Ryan, was sent to prison for racketeering, 79 elected officials had been convicted of corruption in the past 30 years. ... The New York Times -- which, according to Wall Street analysts, is weeks from holding editorial board meetings in a refrigerator box -- created the journalistic equivalent of CSI-Wasilla to study every follicle and fiber in Sarah Palin's background, all the while treating Obama's Chicago like one of those fairy-tale lands depicted in posters that adorn little girls' bedroom walls. See there, Suzie? That's a Pegasus. That's a pink unicorn. And that's a beautiful sunflower giving birth to a fully grown Barack Obama, the greatest president ever and the only man in history to be able to pick up manure from the clean end." --National Review editor Jonah Goldberg

Climate change this week: World ends, but Obama can still save it!!

"Obama left with little time to curb global warming," headlined the Associated Press in a propaganda piece about climate change. "We're out of time," Stanford University biologist Terry Root said in the piece. "Things are going extinct." The article continued, "[Al] Gore called the situation 'the equivalent of a five-alarm fire that has to be addressed immediately.'" And that's the good news. "Scientists [who shall remain nameless] fear that what's happening with Arctic ice melt will be amplified so that ominous sea level rise will occur sooner than they expected. They predict Arctic waters could be ice-free in summers, perhaps by 2013, decades earlier than they thought only a few years ago."

(does anyone at all realize that if the Arctic ocean loses all it's ice that ocean levels don't rise even one silly little millimeter????)gs

AP op-ed contributor Seth Borenstein really hit a home run in his closing paragraph, saying that even though 2008 has been much cooler -- note the snowfall in Las Vegas and Malibu this week -- that really points to global warming. "The average global temperature in 2008 is likely to wind up slightly under 57.9 degrees Fahrenheit, about a tenth of a degree cooler than last year. When Clinton was inaugurated, 57.9 easily would have been the warmest year on record. Now, that temperature would qualify as the ninth warmest year."

Comment:

With all this disastrous information, we're beginning to fear that the Onion's recent satirical story on the "massive hurriphoonado" caused by global warming is bound to come true.

"The timid, civilized world has found nothing with which to oppose the onslaught of a sudden revival of barefaced barbarity, other than concessions and smiles."
