Sorry, Al. You Lose.

The global warming peeps have a lot of explaining to do. Three years in a row with mild to no Hurricanes, despite their warning to the contrary. And now we have the coldest winter in a long while.

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile—the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA’s GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

And yet they told us the opposite would happen. Gee, could they be...what’s the word I was looking for…

Ah yes, WRONG?

Yet many political hacks and so called Greens want to impose carbon cutting laws, even criminalize climate critics, when it’s more than likely completely unnecessary. All three presidential candidates (sans Huckabee) are promising action on climate change. Which reveals how absurd this debate has become. There are plenty of reasons to question the global warming hysteria. Nature has just delivered several reasons. Some are even saying we’re in danger of a mini ice age.

Nature has a way of making fools of doom-sayers. In time, the global warming people will be proven wrong. In the mean time, let’s hope they don’t get away with too many laws, restrictions and taxes. One is too many and they have already done that. We need to keep the damage in check.

Where do you go when you want to buy robot emotion chips or canned mammoth chunks? Why the Echo Park Time Travel Mart, of course!

In New York you can always try shopping at the Super Hero Supply Store.

Lies of our Times: The “Vanishing Middle Class”

The Democrats and the Media (redundancy alert) want us to believe the economy is bad and the middle class is vanishing. Well, they will if the left gets its way. They want everyone to be dependent on government bureaucracies because that’s how they get more power. By taking it away from the people.

Thats one of my biggest problems with the Democrats. They think higher taxes and more bureaucracy is the answer to everything. History has shown time and again that it’s the problem, not the solution.

Clinton is Over

I’m not a Frank Rich fan, but the partisan Democrat NY Times writer really lays it out why Hillary has lost the race. And it’s stunning just how bad a job she’s done. It’s a major indictment of her so called skills, that she has mishandled her campaign so badly. It really tells us what a failure she would have been if she had been elected.

It’s also telling how a former Clinton supporter, like Rich, could beat up on her like this. But he’s only being honest here. She really is that bad.

It also shows how so many Dems have turned their backs on the Clintons. Many of them finally see what an embarrassment they have been with all their myriad scandals and obnoxious behavior. They want a clean break. Obama seems to provide them with one.

It’s almost funny to see the Dems finally admit what others have been saying about the Clintons for years. It’s the closest you’ll ever see to Democrats admitting they were wrong. No matter how wrong Democrats are, they never do that. So this is one of those rare opportunities.

If Obama gets elected, watch a lot of Dems switch parties, as Obama is likely to be worse than Jimmy Carter.

UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan also chimes in. And he hits it squarely on the head.

Clinton is a terrible manager of people. Coming into a campaign she had been planning for, what, two decades, she was so not ready on Day One, or even Day 300. Her White House, if we can glean anything from the campaign, would be a secretive nest of well-fed yes-people, an uncontrollable egomaniac spouse able and willing to bigfoot anyone if he wants to, a phalanx of flunkies who cannot tell the boss when things are wrong, and a drizzle of dreary hacks like Mark Penn. Her only genuine skill is pivoting off the Limbaugh machine (which is now as played out as its enemies). Her new weapon is apparently bursting into tears. I mean: really.
