Ward Churchill wants his job back

Ward Churchill wants his job back.

As a CU alum, this hurts. It hurts because I think there's a better than average chance that this idiot will actually be teaching at my alma mater again. All this, with the smug attitude of a winner of a court case lamely fought by the University.

Ward Churchill's academic integrity has been found to be wonting by his fellow university professors. And he's a pompous ass. It would be a crying shame if he's allowed to foist his sick views on impressionable young people.

My money, such as it is, won't be going to my university anymore if this comes to pass.

The EPA may have suppressed a skeptical report on climate change

So, the EPA may have suppressed a report showing that the climate is actually cooling, and may continue cooling for the next couple of decades?

Well, I'll be.

Look, I suppose that the climate may actually be warming. I'd even stipulate in a debate. But, seriously, there is a ton of data out there that shows the opposite. Data is not necessarily proof, but that truism cuts both ways. This debate is not over, and never was, despite the former VP's inane protestations.

But, if our Federal Government is party to the data suppression, each and every one of us should be alarmed... and we should be asking ourselves how much power do we trust in said government's hands!!

And please remember this every time Barack Obama tells us that he's putting the science ahead of ideology.

A Duty to Die... Revisited

Years ago, they called Colorado Governor Dick Lamm, "Governor Death."

Lamm had the temerity to tell the elderly they had a "duty to die" to mitigate excessive health care costs for the rest of society. A highly debatable position to take, and not helped by Lamm's blunt delivery.

Now, years later, President Obama is echoing Lamm's controversial sentiments.

Will this position be as reviled as Lamm's was? There is really not much difference between Lamm's statements and Obama's, except Obama is smooth!

This is what we have to look forward to in American health care under Obama. We have become accustomed to our doctors taking heroic measures to save and extend lives. Undoubtedly, these heroic measures are a key contributor to the high costs in our overall health care system. But, how will Americans react when the doctors can no longer do "whatever it takes"?

How can anyone doubt that lowering costs in health care will also lower the level of care delivered?

Help Stop High Energy Taxes

Remember when Obama promised that those of us making less than $250,000 per year would see no new taxes? Well, I'm sure that he will say that he is keeping that promise by leaving income taxes alone. However, as Cap-and-Trade comes closer to reality, just keep in mind that the Carbon Tax that companies will be forced to pay will indeed be passed right on to us... the consumers. It won't be seen as a tax, but it's money right out of our wallets.

My Collection of Dumb Global Warming Stories

Over the past few years, advocates of anthropogenic climate change or global warming have become more strident by the day. Scientists and non-scientists alike have explored new realms of silliness in trying to convince the world that doom is nigh! Opinion trend in America seems to be responding to this... but in which way will the public go?

These are stories from mainstream news sites which I found silly, ironic, unbelievable, or overwrought (or all of the above!).

The Walkman is 30 years old??

Wow!

In 1979, the Sony Walkman was born. It had a funny name, I always thought, but it changed the way we listen to music. I remember reading an interview with a rather famous musician who said he always listened to new versions of a song on his Walkman before approving the release, since so many people listened to music that way... it HAD to sound good on a Walkman.

It's hard to believe that Sony let the portable player market get away from them in the new era of the iPod. But, I'm hopeful that the new generation MP3 Walkman will fight back. I guess I'm just a Sony guy!

This is getting ridiculous!!

Can't President Obama nominate anyone who doesn't have tax problems???

And, oh by the way, Obama could've used a protocol chief months ago, when he gave the Queen of England an iPod as a state gift.
