He comes with clouds descending, Once for favoured sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God appears on earth to reign Every eye shall now behold Him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set [...]

Wow, emails have been released that show the shysters pushing Global Warming have been cooking the data. This is explosive (and leaked data appear to be real). This is also great news for science and for freedom everywhere. Kudos to Steve McIntyre once again. Again, I highly recommend the video — see The Great Climate [...]

And Sarah Palin is dumb? Not so much: Amid the media gang tackle of Sarah Palin as she flogs her book, the refrain that she was — and is — unworthy of respect as a policy cipher and ignoramus is heard again around the land. Liberal pundits still wax indignant about the chutzpah of the [...]

But that won’t stop him from being stupid! Al: It definitely is, and it’s a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy — when they think about it at all — in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these [...]

Love it: Heh. Is there nothing that Obama can’t do? You know, for as politically inconseqential as our betters in media tell us Sarah Palin is, I can’t help but notice how much coverage she generates.
