The Great Global Warming Swindle

As fun as it is to listen to Al Gore make wildly hyperbolic predictions of doom and gloom on Earth, the terrifying reality is that it's no joke. Especially to the tree-hugging, patchouli-wearing, Grateful Dead-listening, bicycle-riding goofballs who've made Environmentalism the new Scientology.

I'm not the first person to notice that environmentalists are like watermelons. Green on the outside and red on the inside. The lunatic left wants to use environmentalism as the leverage to control literally everything. If it hurts the environment they can regulate it!

The Great Global Warming Swindle is a serious documentary that takes a critical look at some of the loony claims made by Environmentalists. The Evil Conservative got tired of picking through youtube clips, so you can access the whole movie here.

Chicago Sludge Pit: Emmanuel to Resign?

Speculation in the mainstream media has begun on whether Rahm Emmanuel’s tenure as Obama’s Chief of Staff will survive the holidays, much less until the inauguration. With the Blagojevich investigation on the front page of every newspaper in America, more and more is being leaked out about the extent and involvement of the former Clinton dirty tricks specialist. And it’s starting to look like the Obama campaign is distancing itself from Emmanuel as fast as it can. The MSM is now openly wondering how long it will be before Obama cuts loose Emmanuel.
Within the last 24 hours I have seem speculation on Rahmbo’s possible resignation in the AP, on Yahoo News, The McLaughlin Group and more than one left wing blog I peruse as a substitute for exercise (they raise my heartrate).
Emmanuel is of no use to the nascent administration like this. Presumably the Obama plan to bankrupt our economy and control ever more picayune aspects of our lives will require total concentration. Emmanuel is the Invisible Man now, absent from press conferences and not exerting any influence in the headquarters. The Obamatons won’t let this go on forever before someone makes a move. Who is giving Obama close counsel on a daily basis now? It sure isn’t Rahmbo.
Another problem for Rahmbo is leaks. Not that they exist, but rather their source. Earlier in the week the leaks were that Emmanuel had met with Blago’s people, then that there were 21 meetings, then that they met personally. Obviously all from Blago.
Here is the latest leak I heard from AP:
“Emanuel did contact the governor's office about the appointment, and left Blagojevich with the impression that he was pushing Valerie Jarrett, a close Obama friend, so he wouldn't have to compete with her in the White House for Obama's attention, said a person close to Blagojevich. The person requested anonymity because the person was not authorized to talk about the governor's discussions regarding the vacancy.”
See what I mean? The obvious attempt to connect inside information on the Obama offices to Blago has my eyebrows raised. That leak has the feel of an Obama-side source.
Of course Obama may be standing by his man, but his history indicates that if he senses Emmanuel as a liability Emmanuel will be back in Congress as his point man in a face saving move to keep the taint of this corruption from sliming The One.
The Evil Conservative says we should stick a fork in Emmanuel. He's done.

NY Clerk: "Don't Forget Your $1Million!"

I'm a NYer. The Evil Conservative has lived here for more than 20 years and, despite the liberal politics, traffic, high taxes, and extremely high cost of living, every now and again I get a public reason to be proud of being one. Usually that happens when I'm traveling and someone starts to knock NY. That probably stirs the pride in anyone from anywhere. But as a NYer you get used to hearing about how awful your hometown is.

I'm referring to the Queens supermarket clerk who returned a discarded $1 million lottery ticket to a 92 year old grandmother. The clerk, Chris Connelly, 24, saw the discarded ticket was a big winner and he went and stopped the lady to tell her she had tossed a winner.

What I have learned from 20 years here is that good values and good people are all over places like NY. I see it all the time because I'm here. Like when I left my wallet at the Subway, or when I drove off without the change from a $100 after buying a McDonald's breakfast the other day. Or all the people who helped me out when I first came here. My favorite was the guy who found my wallet on Park Avenue and returned it to me (Yes, The Evil Conservative loses a lot of stuff. I keep my car keys on a lanyard around my neck). Anyway, I thought this was a cool story. A long time ago someone said the last decent person in NY should turn out the lights when they leave. It's nice to see the lights are still on.

Environmentalism's Original Sin

Environmentalists want us to reduce our carbon footprints to zero. They say this is crucial to ensure the survivability of the Earth. A lot of us hear that and think, “No carbon footprint? Why, that would throw us back to the 1800’s!”

It turns out that isn’t entirely accurate. If they want us to eliminate our carbon footprint we’ll need to go back to at least the Bronze Age, according to a team of religious fanatics researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

These idiots dedicated researchers looked for the precise point in time when humans began messing up the utopia that Chance had provided for us. They looked long before the internal combustion engine. Ages prior to the advent of the modern military-industrial complex. Even thousands of years before the industrial revolution. What they probably made up entirely found was that human beings started crapping up the world about the same time we started feeding ourselves. Presumably their data wouldn’t support pinning the blame on productivity, so they did the next best thing. Blame all of mankind.

In an apparent endorsement of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, the report says:

“Using powerful SUPERcomputers and ADVANCED climate models, the researchers concluded that methane and carbon dioxide - the building blocks of global warming - began rising with the introduction of rice cultivation and large-scale tree removal.”

Well there you have it. I wonder if they used the same model that predicted rain for me yesterday. They need to fine tune that one. I’m still digging out of the snow. The article goes on:

"I think that the take-home message is that this hypothesis shows that climates are extremely sensitive to small variations in greenhouse gases," said Steve Vavrus, a climatologist at UW's Center for Climatic Research, on his way to San Francisco to preach to the choir.

Could fascist government controls on Moses and his contemporaries have averted this disaster? Was that where we all went wrong?

I just wonder what time period the environmentalists of Moses’ day would have wanted to force him back to?

Terrorists Out of Touch: Undersea Cable Kills Internet for Middle East

Terrorism has been dragged into the economic slowdown. News today is that internet service is down throughout much of the Middle East and India , slowing business and leaving edgy terrorists with no way to communicate effectively. Interoute and The Times Online blog are reporting that as much as 75% of internet traffic between North America and Africa/Middle East has been affected.

The first concern was that business between the continents would be affected. Interoute is reporting that the problems, first noticed "hearing that offices have lost their entire private network connectivity. As a result, users are unable to do their daily job over the internet and are turning to their mobile phones to communicate across the globe. This is having a knock on effect on the domestic voice networks, which are getting a surge of calls needing to be routed internationally. These calls need to be routed onto international gateways that pass voice traffic in longer directions around the world to avoid the cable breaks – causing more quality issues and risk more call failures, in turn causing more calls to be placed and increasing the pressure on local voice networks. "

How Terrorism, Inc. will respond to this is unclear, as CEOs Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Osama Bin Laden were unavailable for comment. Early indications are that they have had to go low-tech, with security forces in Gaza and Iraq reporting a surge in Dixie cup and string sales.
