Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Let's take a moment away from the hustle and bustle of life and celebrate this festive holiday.   Despite all the hardships of life there remains much to be thankful for and hopefully you have an opportunity to celebrate with your family and friends.   While politics will invariably be a topic of choice during many thanksgiving dinners across the

What is your dollar worth?
Prescient question, no?  Have you ever actually wondered what the worth of our money really is?  At one point, not so long ago (about 200 years) a dollar used to be worth it's weight in gold - literally - about 17g of gold or between 371 and 416 grains of silver.   We of course don't use dollars, we use Federal Reserve Notes and if you don't believe me then pull out a "dollar" from your pocket and examine the text on top.  Yes, it also mentions the world dollar, but only because the Federal Reserve deemed it so - and the once equivalent 17g of gold is long gone.   Although it is no longer backed by precious metal it is backed by the full faith and cre

Senator Inhofe on the matter of the stolen Global Warming emails.
Below is an interview with Senator Inhofe a leading political figure on the issue of global warming "science" once calling Global Warming a hoax.  For those that still believe that the stolen emails represent nothing (ahem - NYT) or somehow demonstrate the desperation of the "right", I suggest your get with the program and stop slurping the Kool-Aid.  While the method by which they were obtained is deplorable ignoring them despite the constant errors coming out of the global warming camps is equally idiotic.  Senator Inhofe plans to launch a full investigati

SNL slams Obama over spending.
While SNL has made fun of Obama before, this is probably the most accurate and brutal mockery we have seen so far!  Not only is it actually funny (for the first time), but it tends to capture much of what some of us have been trying to explain to those believing that Obama actually knows what he is doing.  Truth is, Obama's agenda is not what we are battling against, but rather that of Pelosi and Reid with Obama rallying the liberal base in the background.  More importantly the monetary policy that has lead this country down a one way path to destruction is not necessarily Obama's fault, nor Bush's and not even Clinton's.  Yet we must admit that if not for

Hacked e-mail shows skepticism among key scientist!
While combing through several emails, I have stumbled upon what appears to be a very important email that should speak for itself.  The following email written by Kevin E. Trenberth is head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. He was a lead author of the 2001 and 2007 IPCC Scientific Assessment of Climate Change (see IPCC Fourth Assessment Report) and serves on the Scientific Steering Group for the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) program.  Note:  Kevin has written material suggesting that cooling can occur during large
