Hey Congress – Next Time Call Bill Shatner

According to a CBS article the US taxpayer was stuck with a price tag for over $400,000 for Congressional members two-day stay in Denmark for the Copenhagen Climate Summit. Yikes!   It figured out to over $2000 a day per member for rooming, food, amenities and meeting space. Hmm, I do believe that is way over the normal per diem that Congress allows other government employees on official business. (And even more ridiculous when you compare the per diem allowed for US destinations.) Those costs do not take in to account the travel expenses incurred by the taxpayers for these Global Warming Cultists/legislators. Those costs run the price tag up over one million dollars. Anyone else, besides me, feel like projectile vomiting over this? Not very green of these Climate Green Cultists. Hey Congress I got two Words for you –> Namby Pamby! Next Time Try Priceline Negotiator!!! Maybe Bill Shatner can hook you the taxpayers up with a better deal. Here is an even better idea – play ET – and phone home! A Worldwide Video Conference should have been a lot greener and considerably less expensive for the US Taxpayer as you searched Uranus looking for Klingons. I think this Congressional junket rates right up there with all of Al Gore’s Global Warming Hypocrisies. I suppose Congress figures China can just put their junket/vacation on our tab.

One of the commentors over at Big Government brought up an interesting thought. Congress has been busy villyfying (and in my opinion justly so) the Banking Industry for their waste on hotel conventions following the big bailout. Yet here is Congress wasting money this countrry does not have for expensive hotel junkets. It is just more Congressional hypocrisy.

Happy New Year!

No spouting about Cubby Blues

No snarky aging yarns

No long winters rant

Not even one simple snow complaint

No anti-global warming pirouette

No literary daggers tossed at Marxist hearts

No globalist conspiracy tales

Not even a simple feelgood fireside chat

I just called to give my message

Wishing all a Happy & Prosperous New Year!

And I mean it from the bottom of my scoundrely heart!

Global Warming – Power Play Politics – Fear Mongering and ConsPiracy

The Climate Gate scandal surrounding the Global Warming Fear Mongers attempts to suppress opposition – continues to grow.

Obama worshiping leftwing media and groups display US Tea Party protestors as violent radicals, despite the actual violence during their protests are coming from leftwing groups like another Obama brownshirt group – SEIU. Meanwhile the same leftwing media sources play down the widespread violence caused by leftwing groups at the climate talks taking place in Copenhagen. Despite the fact that hundreds of protestors have become violent and had to be arrested, CNN’s Phil Black called the protests “reasonably” low-level!

Prosperous and new industrial countries like China are demanding other leading industrial countries like the US pony up multiple billions of dollars to help them clean up their pollution. However they have no intent to really reduce their pollution.  While Team Obama officials are overseas seeking to give away those billions of taxpayer dollars that the US does not have to promote and prop-up the Global Warming scare.

Political friends and foes alike say for Team Obama to actually commit to a binding climate treaty -without first getting 2/3 Senate approval- would cause Obama to violate the US Constitution. Still it seems that Obama is looking for a way to circumvent the Constitution and sign a binding treaty.

Meanwhile former Minnesota Governor, Jesse “The Body” Ventura and friend of Al Gore, spent an hour on his new TRU TV show –Conspiracy Theory- revealing various suspicious individuals behind the global warming panic. Team Ventura talked with skeptics of Global Warming that confirmed the Climate Gate information about the harassing of individuals and squashing of information that conflicted with the pro Global Warming movement. One individual claimed he had gone in to hiding – for his personal safety. They also pointed fingers at a couple of United Nations officials that were behind the current scare tactics. One was a Canadian, Maurice Strong, whom has gone into hiding in China following his part in a past UN scandal. Supposedly Strong is also been helping the Chinese government profit from the carbon foot print scams that allow businesses to claim they are operating “Green”, while also being big time polluters of the environment. That sure makes sense of China’s grumbling and dodging proposals that they actually reduce their “carbon footprints”. Team Ventura went as far as suggesting that Strong is part of an even deeper ConsPiracy seeking global power by using the UN to bilk countries out of money with this global warming scare.

I do not know how much of the  “global warming” conspiracy is factual. I do believe that their is a lot of Cons-Piracy involved in the global warming scare tactics. I also believe “some” evidence displays there has probably been some global warming. However, I have not been presented with any evidence that makes me scream, “oh my, the sky is falling” and it is all mankind’s fault. Since Obama seems intent of tossing US money into this rattrap, I suggest Congress pass a resolution that allows Team Obama to offer each of the developing countries up to 100 US dollars to go towards their carbon footprint cleaning, plus a hearty atta-boy sucker to those that choose to commit to the Copenhagen global warming scare tactics.  That is dependent upon their ability to prove that they have met whatever goals the Copenhagen group decides is appropriate for all nations. However I see no reason for the US to currently commit to any treaty or conditions that hampers our economy and requires us to pay billions upon billions of dollars to other countries to cleanup their house. As I have said before – let them cleanup their own back yards.

Making Prairie Grass into an Energy Source?

Are we closer to telling Middle East terrorists and Hugo Chavez to take their $100 a barrel oil products and shove them up where the proverbial sun does not shine? The world along with this country have been looking for cleaner alternatives than terrorist supporting oil products for some time now. Ethanol has been a name that continues to get tossed around as the answer. But one of the drawbacks that continues to haunt it is the cost towards actually turning corn and similar products into a viable fuel source. According to an article by David Biello published in Scientific American, tests on switchgrass have shown that the prairie grass can produce 540 times the amount of energy needed to produce it which is 25% more energy than produced by corn and similar products. It is a replenishable energy source, it grows perennial and in marginal soil. It is still in the early stages but could this be what we need to become energy independent and boost our economy at the same time? It could lessen the national debt by reducing the need for importing oil, keep large amounts of money out of the pockets of people who hate this country while also creating a product that could be exploited for profit. Sadly we could be a lot further along on this product than we already are. But thirty years of bipartisan Democrat and Republican bickering, foot shuffling and inefficient legislation direction have kept us tied to sending our money to terrorist countries for oil while also putting our very safety at risk from the same people that were benefiting from our business. It is time for our government to get out of granny gear and really solve this problem instead of playing their do-nothing legislating games. Perhaps this is the answer we need.

Yikes, Global Warming – Sun Spots – Ice Ages – Help Me Obi Wan

Well I was just getting recuperated from the original global cooling scare when the Goracle started up his Global-warming crusade. I was recently just starting to warm up to his disciples’ psalms of toasty equatorial summers in the middle of winter, the need for investing in Ohio and Arizona beachfront property and a permanent need for white clothing, sombreros and large quantities of sunblock lotion, when now I am getting pushed back in the other direction. It seems we are now entering Solar Cycle 24, which should really kick in to high action between its current start and 2012. Depending on which science guru you believe, we are now headed in to a global cooling event or a cataclysmic ice age. We are evidently supposed to start off with a little toasting effect though not so much at the hands of the Goracles global warming but more from the hand of some nasty sunspots that will warm up our Earthen oven. Afterwards, I am reading from one cosmically aware sun spot guru that we can eventually expect increased earthquakes, sunspot activity, volcanic activity and a brand new ice age robbing me of the few months of summer I normally am allotted to grow vegetables. So instead of an extended gardening season I am now supposed to go out and live in a cave, lay in a supply of lead lined clothing to protect me from the Sun flares. Then I am also supposed to stock up on warm poofy sweaters, long johns, insulated flannel shirts, heavy parkas, snow suits, ice picks and restock my stash of Y2K food and water supplies. Arghhh! –>I just finished using up the last of my previous Y2K soap, tooth brush and sundry items. Hmm, I wonder if I could just buy some lower land property so I could build my cave domicile under my current residence. Wheres Luke and Han when I could use a ride to the next galaxy for a visit? Soylent Green is People, or will be if this guru is spot on!!! Hmm another Charlton Heston Movie for Will Smith to remake?
