updated, and a little more mellow

Around the Blogroll, July 9, 2008

The rigorous, spartan ethical code of blogging demands regular updates to one’s site: but sometimes, dear friends, the flesh is weak … and at such times we shift into 100% derivative mode for a spin around the blogosphere!

The Other McCain: According to a U.S. Department of Labor report Americans aren’t losing jobs; illegal aliens are.

Loudoun Insider: It looks like the Loudoun County Republican Committee is growing stronger. (Good to hear, but just the thought of it makes me weary to the bones).

MonkeyWatch: Ed has an incisive observation on this nascent Web 3.0 thing. (Reminds me of one of my favorite, and highly prescient Web docs, Metacrap).

The Oath: Are we on track for America’s first Abortion President?

Donny Ferguson: Even Richard Nixon was more trusted than this Congress. (With Congress at 6%, I would say every single used car salesman is probably more trusted than this Congress).

Digital Camel: Resurrecting the greatest TV show of all time. Ah Croooow! – we hardly knew ye.

And as a follow up to our exuberant celebration of bipartisanship last week, Jeanne West now claims she was hoodwinked by the right wing media. Almost as though she had no idea Supervisor Delgaudio was the primary subject of the report until she saw it on TV. Funny, that.

    “For Barack to claim that he is personally opposed to abortion but supports a woman’s right to choose is like saying one is personally opposed to slavery but supports a white man’s right to own slaves.”

    Sounds like the American Non-Sequiter Society at work.

    Last March, NASA reported the oceans have been cooling for the last five years. Sea level has stopped rising, and Northern Hemisphere cyclone and hurricane activity is at a 24-year low.

    Environmental extremists and global warming alarmists are in denial and running for cover. Their rationale for continuing a lost cause is that weather events in the short term are not necessarily related to long-term climatic trends. But these are the same people who screamed at us each year that ordinary weather events such as high temperatures or hurricanes were undeniable evidence of imminent doom.

    Now that global warming is over, politicians are finally ready to enact dubious solutions to a non-existent problem. In Britain, Parliament is intrepidly forging ahead with a bold new plan to cool the climate, even as London experienced its first October snowfall since 1934 and Ireland went through the coldest October in the last 70 years.

    This is an absurd spectacle. Our advanced civilization is being systematically mismanaged by technologically illiterate lawyers responding to political pressures from irrational fanatics. Would someone please tell these people it is impossible to overturn the laws of thermodynamics?
