"Profit [sic] of Doom."
They mean, of course, Mr. Gore.
"PSYCHIATRISTS have detected the first case of "climate change delusion"..."(Andrew Bolt, from the Herald Sun.)
It's about time somebody called it what it is: A DELUSION. But that's not the worst of it.
"And here is a senior Sydney Morning Herald journalist aghast at the horrors described in the report on global warming released on Friday by Rudd's guru, Professor Ross Garnaut: "Australians must pay more for petrol, food and energy or ultimately face a rising death toll . . ."Wow. Pay more for food or die. Is that Rudd's next campaign slogan?
Of course, we can laugh at this -- and must -- but the price for such folly may soon be your job, or at least your cash."
(IBID.)
Heck, that won't happen to us...right?!

"All Hail The Sun God!"
"All hail Gore the Sun God, He's a real smart God, Blah Blah Blah!"
And while I find the sarcasm quite amusing, the article itself is much better.
"A new paper published by the Astronomical Society of Australia is warning of upcoming global cooling due to lessened solar activity."(Originally found here.)
I guess my next problem will be: Is he Surya, Sol Invictus, Ra, or Koalemos?
Choices, choices.

The logical consequence of "being Green" run amok.
" A British woman who had an abortion 10 years ago and was later sterilized did so because she believes pregnancy is bad for the environment, the London Daily Mail reported Sunday.
Toni Vernelli, 35, hopes her actions would ensure her carbon footprint would be kept to a minimum, the Mail reported. The environmental advocate also sees having children as an egotistical act.
"Having children is selfish. It's all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet," Vernelli told the Mail, adding she believes bringing new life into the world only adds to the problem."
(Source FOXNews.)
But such an attitude is utterly unnecessary.
"The Lord created the heavens.
He is the God who formed the earth and made it.
He did not want it to be empty,but he wanted life on the earth."

Co-op America's National "Green Pages."
Found the National Green Pages site here.
Money quote?
"The nation's only directory of screened and approved green businesses."
(Top of browser)
But one certainly wonders: Who screens the screeners? Who approves the approvers?

Can someone please explain why my tax dollars are helping pay for the 3-million dollars promised by the City of Chattanooga to the McKamey Animal Center?
Seriously. And I don't even have an animal.
"Of the $5.6 million, the city has pledged $3 million – a $1 million land donation of 10 acres on the former DuPont property off Access Road and $2 million in matching funds."

How to avoid giving to the poor; or Just use the Parking meters please.
The mayor has a brilliant new plan on how to help the poor:
"Don't give em money. They're poor anyway, whadda they need it for?"
More as this story develops.
HT Josiah.
In a related story, the City of Chattanooga has now outlawed helping other people entirely. "Ideally what we'd like to see," the mayor's spokesperson said at an earlier news conference, "is this. Whenever you think about doing something nice for your fellowman, don't. Just stop. Even if you're in the middle of the act itself. Later that week, when you're downtown on some errand, drop a nickel in one of our highly-decorative parking meters. BAM! You've helped your fellow man!
It really is just as easy as that.
You don't have to deal with real, live people. Their stories are boring--they are your neighbors after all--and it really isn't your fault they're in the jam they're in. Just take that one tiny nickel--a penny if you haven't got that; we'll understand--and plunk it into our shiny collection boxes. And when you go to bed at night, you'll sleep better. Honestly, you will. 'Cause even if you did shove that old lady down in the mall why, Chattanooga is gonna collect money to pick her right back up again!
There is one precaution, though. Don't stick your money into one of our other tax-grabbing, money-grubbing machines. Otherwise it just goes to line our pockets."

Belmont City Council Bans smoking in some homes...for now.
"Smoking will be permitted only in designated outdoor areas of multi-unit housing.
Additionally, smoking will not be allowed in indoor and outdoor workplaces, or in parks, stadiums, sports fields, trails and outdoor shopping areas.
Smoking on city streets and sidewalks will be permitted under the ordinance, except in the location of city-sponsored events or in close proximity to prohibited areas."
To which I reply in words not mine, but which I have adopted as my own.
"Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God."
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?---Forbid it, God!"
"We have had thirteen independent States eleven years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each State. What country before ever existed a century and a half without rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let these take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

No, no. Even though America--our own friggin' country for pete's-friggin-sake-- is accused by this criminal of being "criminal"; and even though Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants to wipe Israel--read: God's CHOSEN people--off the face of the globe; the rubes at Columbia wanted to let him lecture their students.

Kyla Ebbert wasn't "too sexy to fly," she was just indecent: UPDATE II.
UPDATE II:
Well, it might have been Kyla's myspace, but it sure ain't now.
Oh yeah, and Southwest decided to reward this grown up little child.(Source.)
Re-friggin'-tarded.
UPDATE:
At least one anonymous comment declares that "She has it pulled down and the shirt was up showing off her stomach on the plane....she flashes us on tv you should have seen it on the plane it was worse." A fellow-passenger perhaps?
Also, I think this might be her Myspace page.
MSNBC ran a story about Kyla Ebbert asking if she was "too sexy to fly." Why?
"...a Southwest employee identified only as “Keith,” who approached Ebbert after she had taken her seat on the plane and was listening to the flight attendants go through their pre-departure routine.
He asked her to step off of the plane and when they were in the jetway, he told her that her clothing was inappropriate and asked her to change her clothes.
“He told me, ‘I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to take a later flight. You’re dressed inappropriately. This is a family airline. You’re dressed too provocative to fly on this flight,’ ” she told Lauer." (Story source.)
Then Ms. Ebbert goes on national television wearing the exact same outfit she wore on that day. The video at that link is 6+ minutes long. Precisely between 00:01:33--and--00:01:34 seconds, Ms. Ebbert "reveals" just why her clothing was declared "inappropriate."
Like I said, I wouldn't call the outfit "too sexy." I'd call it indecent.

Brokeback Mountain vs. 300.
Given the choice, I guess I'd rather have my kids exposed to 300; but God Forbid that choice becomes necessary!
"This weekend I heard about the substitute teacher who showed an 8th grade class the "R" rated movie, Brokeback Mountain, but had not read the report saying the suit filed by a girl in the class claims the principal was aware that the teacher was showing the movie." (Source: Wizbang Blog)
What can I say?!
Yikes.

Ray Comfort is not necessarily a "liar."
These people--rubes, if you will--seem to believe that Ray Comfort is a liar. (Here's his website.)
In an effort to prove that Ray is a "liar"--and a blasphemer, apparently--they cite what can only be described as the supreme authority of the English language: The Random House Dictionary.
I guess they didn't realize that Princeton agrees with Ray:
LIAR: "a person who has lied or who lies repeatedly." (Emphasis mine; Link.)
YUP, reeeal "rational" if ya ask me.

Abortion, "Gay Marriage," and the Ten Commandments.
I was stunned to learn today that abortion, "Gay Marriage," and the Ten Commandments are being used to "garner votes." Of course, this was even more stunning, for obvious reasons. But that is beside the point.
What is to the point is this.
That a politician wants to garner any vote, much less my vote, is irrelevant.
That some people--ahem, Mr. James--seem to believe family values are "defined by our families, is absurd. It's like saying that cowboys developed their highly romantic "cowboy-ish philosophies" because they lived out west. And just what the heck are family values anyway? Oh, that's right. Family values is only a buzzword.
"Buzzwords are typically intended to impress one's audience with the pretense of knowledge. For this reason, they are often universal. They typically make sentences difficult to dispute, on account of their cloudy meaning." (Link; Emphasis Mine.)
Well, that clears that up. Let's rephrase a quote from Mr. James now, shall we?
"Ourfamily values(updated text) sasdnvxcuoweyzzdd are defined by our families, not by our political leaders. Unfortunately for all of us, certain politicians have made abortion, gay marriage, and the Ten Commandments political footballs -doing injustice to how we should deal with these issues. These issues are being used to garner votes..." (Link)
Abortion is not a political issue. It is, as I have said, a matter of life and death.
"Gay Marriage" is not a political issue. Like lying, sodomy, homosexuality, or being gay is only an abomination. (Homosexuality=Lev. 18:22; Lying=Prov. 12:22)
The Ten Commandments themselves, are not a political issue. The historicity of their place in American Society is undeniable; although now, it is true, they have lost much of their former significance.
Jobs, education, and security; these things mean nothing without morality. And it is the height of either stupidity, or wickedness to pretend otherwise.
