IS THE KYOTO PROTOCOL A FLAWED IDEAL? In one of the earlier posts (Kyoto 32) there was a comment made and the comment was a relatively simple one. “I hope Kyoto will not fail.” The actuality is that in all probabilities it already has failed, not because we have deliberately set out to make it… [Read more…]
As I was working on my next political dissent article, deciding between an Obama hit-piece or encouraging citizen revolt, I was surprised to hear the sound of my front door crashing to the ground.

Obama's campaign stops in Iraq & elsewhere in the region would qualify as nothing more than silage for satirists were it not for the big 3 MSM Leftmedia talkinghead sycophants worshiping his every utterance.

We made real progress in the war against hunting. It started with my offhand remark to a Bambi-killing Neanderthal that hunting would be a sport when the prey is also armed.
