AGW: The Strange Part Is The NYTs Published This

Since is is a scam, NYT stumbles upon a well known scientific phenomenon; Apparently, people with science knowledge know the man “caused climate change” is a hoax:

A study released on Monday by researchers at George Mason University and the University of Texas at Austin found that only about half of the 571 television weathercasters surveyed believed that global warming was occurring and fewer than a third believed that climate change was “caused mostly by human activities.”

More than a quarter of the weathercasters in the survey agreed with the statement “Global warming is a scam,” the researchers found.

The split between climate scientists and meteorologists is gaining attention in political and academic circles because polls show that public skepticism about global warming is increasing, and weather forecasters — especially those on television — dominate communications channels to the public. A study released this year by researchers at Yale and George Mason found that 56 percent of Americans trusted weathercasters to tell them about global warming far more than they trusted other news media or public figures like former Vice President Al Gore or Sarah Palin, the former vice-presidential candidate.

……

Several well-known forecasters — including John Coleman in San Diego and Anthony Watts, a retired Chico, Calif., weatherman who now has a popular blog — have been vociferous in their critiques of global warming.

Some would call stealing money this way to be outright fraud. Pure and simple the fraud works like this, hey Mr Science guy you want a government grant? Fine, produce a paper that shows what we want to prove, man is warming the planet. OK? OK … give me my money.

Unix Copyrights Trial: Novell Wins, SCO Loses

The end is near …

A federal court jury has determined that Novell, and not the SCO Group, has ownership of copyrights related to UNIX.

Novell released a statement which read,

Today, the jury in the District Court of Utah trial between SCO Group and Novell issued a verdict.

Novell is very pleased with the jury’s decision confirming Novell’s ownership of the Unix copyrights, which SCO had asserted to own in its attack on Linux. Novell remains committed to promoting Linux, including by defending Linux on the intellectual property front.

This decision is good news for Novell, for Linux, and for the open source community.

Is UNIX finally free? Linux users, could have been subject to fees if SCO had gotten the copyrights.

The decision, on the other hand, is bad news for SCO Group, which is currently struggling through bankruptcy.

Obozocare – Reparations: People Have Already Figured It Out

Like the “shovel ready jobs bill that did nothing but porolong the misery of millions of Americans, so to the new Obaozocare bill is doing the same:

Obama promised his useful idiots better care, lower costs, sunshine, lollipops and free health care for all. The latest poll tells a far different story — USAToday/Gallup poll:

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the health care overhaul signed into law last week costs too much and expands the government’s role in health care too far, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, underscoring an uphill selling job ahead for President Obama and congressional Democrats.

Those surveyed are inclined to fear that the massive legislation will increase their costs and hurt the quality of health care their families receive, although they are more positive about its impact on the nation’s health care system overall.

The numbers are very bleak with one exception – extending access. Most already had figured out that Oabma lies about most everything.

This un-Constitutional crap-care needs to be repealed, quick.

The Democrats have just experienced a dead cat bounce.

Smart Power, Remember That? Here Is How It Works

Looks a lot like someone doesn’t understand or know what he is doing.

Poll: Tea Party More In Touch With Issues Than The Congress

Tea party members, more ethical than the average Congressman too, but that’s barely notable.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 52% of U.S. voters believe the average member of the Tea Party movement has a better understanding of the issues facing America today than the average member of Congress.

Only 30% believe that those in Congress have a better understanding of the key issues facing the nation. When it comes to those issues, 47% think that their own political views are closer to those of the average Tea Party member than to the views of the average member of Congress.

As far as disapproval goes, Congressional disapproval going above that found in October 1994 — Congressional disapproval now at 72% — Obamacare didn’t save this sinking ship. After completely ignoring the will of the American people, Democrats get to enjoy a new low.

Two new polls out from Rasmussen today suggest that even Democrats who voted against health care reform are in serious danger of losing their seats. The first shows that 54% of respondents favor repealing ObamaCare, essentially unchanged from last week.

As people now know, there isn’t any such thing as ‘blkue dogs, lap dogs or any other than the the lying dog kind of Democrats. All Democrats lie chaet and steal and people have finally caught into them.

The second poll shows that Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, D-S.D., now leads one of her potential Republican challengers, Secretary of State Chris Nelson, by only 44%-42%. In February, she led 45%-38%. Herseth Sandlin, co-chair of the Blue Dogs, a group of more moderate Democrats, voted against the health care bill both in November and in March, and was outspoken against the “Slaughter solution”, dubbing it “poison.”

The dogs get to Congress and lie down with the rest of the lying dogs.

North Korea: Earth Hour Was A Stunning Success

Easy win, it’s always this way after dark in North Korea. Maybe South Korea can lodge a protest.

Aetna CEO: Yes Rates Will Go Up, No You May Not Keep Your Existing Doctor

WOW, right off the bat the truth begins leaking out. The Tea Party people have been saying this all along, the administration is lying to you. Jim Garethy spotted this interveiw with Aetna’s CEO:

Two revealing comments from Aetna CEO Ron Williams in an interview with BusinessWeek out now:

Will insurance premiums go up?
The answer is yes, and some of the things that will drive those premiums are significant additional taxes the industry will ultimately have to pay in the first year.

The President said that this bill would not have any impact on people who already had coverage, that it was about the uninsured, that there would be no change. Will this legislation change the coverage of people who are already paying for it?
My perception is, yes, things will change. You might not have a plan that includes the exact same doctors. You might have plans that have richer benefits, and therefore you’re going to pay more for benefits you may or may not want. It would have been a better message to say, we’re going to make certain you maintain your eligibility.

Higher premiums, and your plan may change, even if you like it as it is. Basically, the health care bill is set to deliver the exact opposite of what President Obama promised.

Everybody, sing along! “All statements from Barack Obama come with an expiration date. All of them.” Most expire as soon as the teleprompter is turned off.

Thanks Obozo: Slavery By Debt

The 10 year outlook for the nation’s budget deficit has deteriorated by $8 Trillion. Americans are likely to witness tax increases to close the budget deficit gap. CNBC reported:

Many Americans know the deficit has exploded this year. What may be less well-known is that the problem is not confined to this year or next, but stretches out at least a decade and represents a historic, multi-trillion-dollar change in the country’s fiscal fortunes.

CNBC, working with the Congressional Budget Office, found that the 10-year outlook for the nation’s deficit has deteriorated by almost $8 trillion. In effect, every man, woman and child in the United States has taken on an extra $25,000 in debt, CNBC has learned.

Comparing the CBO’s outlook in 2008 to the current forecast, CNBC found that what was once a projected $247 billion surplus for the years 2009 through 2018, is now an estimated $7.4 trillion deficit.

What caused it? According to the CBO, 57 percent of the increase was caused by the decline in revenues, of which a vast majority resulted from the agency’s outlook for the economy.

Specifically, Social Security accounts for a huge part of the revenue change. According to the network’s analysis, Social Security was expected to show a $2.3 trillion surplus over the 10-year period from 2009-2018. However, new figures show that if a surplus for the agency will exist at all, it is projected to be just over $1 trillion.

Adding to the deterioration is a range of expenses and methodology, including the stimulus bill, a change in accounting for the war, extended unemployment benefits and additional interest on debt.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke highlighted deficit concerns in his Congressional testimony on Thursday, saying that Americans are in for tough, unpopular changes, such as tax increases, to close the deficit gap.

Greenspan also warned that the nation faces a mountain of debt that it “has never seen before.”

I assume Obozo thought people would still keep working to meet his need for wealth redistribution. Silly bozo and his zombies, it doesn’t work that way does it. Poor guy, ought to try running a profitable lemonade stand,

Searchlight Nevada: Dump Harry Reid Tea Party Rally

The Violent Left, ignored by lame stream journalists.

Andrew Breitbart witnessed first hand today the cunning manipulation and violence of the unhinged left. Harry Reid supporters stood on Highway 95 outside of Searchlight, Nevada and held signs steering tea party protesters heading to the Tea Party Express Showdown in Searchlight Rally in the wrong direction. Andrew also witnessed these violent leftists attacking the Tea Party Express bus with eggs as it drove by. The Harry Reid supporters then swarmed him, harassed him, threatened him and made false statements to the police. Attack  video at link.

View of what  CNN said, dozens of attendees:

This rally was the start of the new Tea Party Express run across America, first stop was the dump Reid rally in Searchlight Nevada. The run ends on April 15 in Washington DC with the Tea Party tax day protests across the country scheduled for April 15, 2010. They plan several meet ups with Sean Hannity’s new book and tour “Conservative Victory”

Sarah Palin also attended the rally and Tea Party Express send off:

CNN said on air dozens of people attended. The organizers said there well well over 20,000 attendees.

NewsBusters reported on CNN’s anti-Tea Party bias:

“Hundreds of people, at least dozens of people - we haven’t gotten a count of how many people turned out there. We heard Sarah Palin talk about everything about the campaign, to unseat Sen. Reid to what she calls ObamaCare, on the heels of that health care vote and even talking about her definition of her love of America.”

Weird how the CNN reporter who was allegedly there in the middle of the throngs, would say this, isn’t it. But we have photos, of the overflow crowd, the organizers said they literally had no more space for more people, as the huge traffic jams on the roads in this photo depicts. Yes we had our own plane filming overhead — Hah!!!

The Beginning Of The End: Supply Fears Start To Hit Treasuries

Obama’s stupid borrowing begins to bite … You can’t spend your children’s future without consequence. Since you won’t find evidence for this in the USA lame stream media, here is Sunday’s Financial Times of London England reporting:

The bond vigilantes are finally flexing their muscles. A long period of stability for the US government bond market showed signs of cracking this week as a lack of investor appetite for new debt sent the benchmark 10-year yield to its highest level since last June.

For more than a year, analysts have been warning that record sized debt sales by the US Treasury were at odds with a 10-year yield sitting comfortably below 4 per cent. This week, the yield on 10-year notes jumped from 3.65 per cent to a peak of 3.92 per cent on Thursday. On Friday it was 3.87 per cent.


Chart: TreasuriesFalling inflation, rising unemployment, the housing market slump, the Federal Reserve’s policies of a near zero overnight borrowing rate and its purchase of up to $1,700bn in bonds have all helped keep Treasury yields near historic lows.

But this week the mood shifted as yields for $118bn of new US debt were much higher than forecast, sparking overall selling of Treasuries. Sentiment also deteriorated in the UK bond market after the government’s budget ahead of a general election expected in May failed to resolve doubts over future spending and debt reduction.

Make sure you read the entire article. Jimmy Carter would be proud. Not everybody in the world is as stupid as Obama.
