The U.S. government has piled up over $4 trillion in debt in the last three years under Obama—more than any other president’s 4-year term in history (and it’s not even close). Does that make you happy Kenny Troll? All the waste & fraud yet Obama has the nerve to want higher taxes for individuals & businesses... We the taxpayer deserve accountability!

kenny...You really are a hopeless little person. Of all the stuff that is said in the political arena you have to stick like a pup to a root on this trival matter. Poor kenny, poor poor kenny.

<<Is it a lie that Obama said "everybody should go to college"?>> Yes, that is a lie because Obama did not say that.

Best – warming – headline – evah ('Global warming is making the world colder')

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Anthony Watts

I’ve been getting a lot of pressure to cover the story by warmspinner Richard Black over at the BBC about a supposed feedback between Arctic sea ice and colder, snowier, winters in the UK and the EU. For example, WUWT “elftone” says:

Richard Black of the BBC – despite getting his head handed to him on a platter twice recently – is spinning like crazy about snowy winters. The cause is shrinking arctic ice. No, really :). I’m amazed he’s able to stand:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17143269

I’ve been resisting covering this for a little bit, because I knew sooner or later some MSM media fool would mangle this story into something unrecognizable (they always do). I was right, and the result is the most hilarious global warming headline ever:



They really have lost the plot, haven’t they?

After a few hours, probably responding to people calling up the newsroom and laughing uncontrollably, some editor changed the headline to read “Melting Arctic causes snowier winters in Europe, the US “.

The Internet though, has a memory for such things. The original link was: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/world/global-warming-is-making-the-world-colder/story-e6frea8l-1226283672088?from=public_rss

But if you click on that you get the revised headline with revised URL.

It is still cached in some places, like this law blog: http://legalnews.findlaw.com/article/0dc48OwedZ44D?q=NASA

UPDATE: I’ve posted the Georgia Tech press release on the science here. While the idea posited isn’t totally implausible, I need to see more examples to be convinced. – Anthony

Your pal, THUG trainer Paul V. failed (AGAIN) in Wisconsin:

(NEXT...........)

Poll: Wisconsin's Walker to survive union recall drive

So much for that recall effort. According to a new Rasmussen poll of likely Wisconsin voters, Gov. Scott Walker should survive an effort to throw out his 2010 election, a campaign driven by pro-union activists angered that he limited collective bargaining rights for public employees in a budget-cutting move.


It’s a huge and positive switch for Scott’s fortunes. Opponents made headlines when they easily collected 1 million signatures on a recall petition. Walker this week said he would not challenge the signatures-including names like “Donald Duck”-because there isn’t enough time before the May recall election.

Rasmussen’s poll is the latest done on the election and finds that 54 percent of likely Wisconsin voters at least somewhat approve of the governor’s job, while 46 percent somewhat disapprove. He does good with independents, as 58 percent approve of his performance. The telephone poll of 500 likely voters conducted Monday shows a pro-Walker move, coming days after a Public Policy Polling survey conducted February 22-26 that found the state divided 49 percent-49 percent on the recall.

kenny_troll, why did obama set up "African-Americans for Obama"? Is he worried about not getting 9999% of the Black vote from people that are going to jump ship and vote for Romney (as you are)?

It makes no sense to me, so I figured a brilliant apologist troll on the payroll would know the answer.

" Democratic strategist aligned with the White House" that they'd have to pursue a "kill Romney" strategy unless the economy improved.

"Time to take the 'Kill Romney' strategy to the next level,"
an anonymous aide types in an email, ostensibly intended for another aide.

wonder what Gabby Giffords has to say about this.
