Hey, Andrea...

...bitter much?



The criminal enterprise known as man-made global warming is busted wide open, Congress continues its path toward a government-run healthcare that people simply don't want imposed upon them, our troops are dying with no clear battle plan in place and a president who would rather travel the globe collecting snapshots for his "Look how awesome I am!" photo album, and MSNBC sends their "big guns" to a book signing.

Rhetorical Question of the Day

Remember when that reporter from Fox News approached that young girl in line at an Obama rally and started grilling her on Obama's positions to try to make her look like an idiot for supporting him?

Yeah, me neither.

And, some actually wonder why MSNBC's ratings are in under the toilet.

Czechmate

Vaclav Klaus:

I agree with Professor Richard Lindzen from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who said: “future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age”.

Climatologists Baffled by Global Warming Time-Out

"Climatologists" baffled.

Rational, clear thinking individuals with the God-given ability needed to recognize a good scam when they see one?

Yeah...not so much.

Excuse Me...

...while I go look for my shocked face.

Liberal, Obamabot bloggers trying to smear a conservative by way of fabricated quotes?

Yeah, couldn't see that coming.

So "outside the box" of them.

Obama: Too much debt could fuel double-dip recession

BEIJING, Nov 18 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama gave his sternest warning yet about the need to contain rising U.S. deficits, saying on Wednesday that if government debt were to pile up too much, it could lead to a double-dip recession.

Coming from the man who just wasted nearly a trillion dollars on a do-nothing (nothing good, anyway) "stimulus" package, and is actively trying to impose trillions in additional healthcare and energy costs (not to mention, MASSIVE tax increases) on an already over-burdened and suffering nation.

It's almost as if he wants us to be so miserable and destitute that we'll have no alternative but to come begging to him on our hands and needs to be graced with his benevolence and goodwill.

I will say this about Barack Obama.

For the first time in my adult life, an American president is living up to each and every expectation I had of him prior to his being sworn into office.

Say It Isn't So

Al Gore?

Making shit up?

I'm shocked.

Huh?

Say what?

“I think it's very important for the United States not to assume that what is good for us is automatically good for somebody else,” Obama told the students at the town hall, in Shanghai.

Is our president, the so-called "leader of the free world" implying that those things listed above are, in fact, bad for some people not fortunate enough to call America home?

Also, from that article, in case you needed a reason to smile today...

The pageantry of his trip is also playing out against a parade of disappointment: Administration officials have acknowledged that a binding international climate agreement won't emerge from the Copenhagen summit next month.

I guess that depends heavily on one's definition of "disappointment".

Question For My Female Readers

Would you rather get a false positive result from a mammogram, or a missed positive result from the mammogram you never got in the first place?

WaPo: Breast exam guidelines now call for less testing

Women in their 40s should stop routinely having annual mammograms and older women should cut back to one scheduled exam every other year, an influential federal task force has concluded, challenging the use of one of the most common medical tests.

In its first reevaluation of breast cancer screening since 2002, the independent government-appointed panel recommended the changes, citing evidence that the potential harm to women having annual exams beginning at age 40 outweighs the benefit.

[...]

Several patient advocacy groups and many breast cancer experts welcomed the new guidelines, saying they represent a growing recognition that more testing, exams and treatment are not always beneficial and, in fact, can harm patients. Mammograms produce false-positive results in about 10 percent of cases, causing anxiety and often prompting women to undergo unnecessary follow-up tests, sometimes-disfiguring biopsies and unneeded treatment, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Unnecessary follow-up tests???

"Mrs. Johnson, your mammogram is showing us something that could be a cancerous growth in your left breast. We'd like to run some more tests to be sure."

"Aw, do you have to? That seems so darn unnecessary. Can't we just start chemo instead?"
