Yeah, folks.

It just snowed in Australia…

Now, for those of you who didn’t pay attention in geography class…It’s summer down under.

Remember…be afraid of the Global Warming…

Maoist and Global Warming Alarmist Diane Francis.

Canada’s Financial Post writer Diane Francis wrote an article called “The real inconvenient truth. The whole world needs to adopt China’s one-child policy.”

“The “inconvenient truth” overhanging the UN’s Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.”

“A planetary law, such as China’s one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.”

I contend that this is an argument propagated by socialist-totalitarian-power-grabbers who want the rules to apply to other people…not themselves…

The woman who wrote the above article…has two children…

And the Hypocrite of the year award goes to…

Diane Francis!

“Humans are the only rational animals but have yet to prove it.”

Francis goes on to say that the population fix is “simple” and “dramatic.”

“China has proven that birth restriction is smart policy. Its middle class grows, all its citizens have housing, health care, education and food, and the one out of five human beings who live there are not overpopulating the planet.”

And here comes the fear-mongering to drive the point home!

“For those who balk at the notion that governments should control family sizes, just wait until the growing human population turns twice as much pastureland into desert as is now the case, or when the Amazon is gone, the elephants disappear for good and wars erupt over water, scarce resources and spatial needs.”

Now…I wonder if this power-hungry Maoist is aware that China’s one child policy leads to a higher ratio of baby boys to baby girls being born, child abandonment, and infanticide…

Not to mention that China is the home to a laundry list of human rights violations…

Yes, to this stooge, China is a model society…

The NYTimes is reporting that the private security company–formerly called Blackwater Worldwide–Xe Services LLC “played central roles” in clandestine raids and transportation of insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan with the CIA.

The Times reports that these raids took place “between 2004 and 2006, with Blackwater personnel playing central roles in what company insiders called “snatch and grab” operations…”

Now, who really cares?

Why is this interesting?

Because in the Times article, they quote a Blackwater spokesperson who said today that they were not involved in clandestine raids…

Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Blackwater, said Thursday that the firm was never under contract to participate in clandestine raids with the C.I.A. or with Special Operations personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan or anywhere else.

Developing…

Well here’s a new one…

Hollywood conservatives are calling for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to rescind the Oscar they awarded to noted Noble Prize winner-slash-Internet inventor Al Gore in the wake of what many are calling ‘climategate’.

Roger Simon and Lionel Chetwynd issued a statement today calling for the Academy to take back the Oscar that was lavished on Al Gore for his 2007 crap-fest “An Inconvenient  Truth”.

While there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of this actually happening, it does highlight the latest gambit by conservatives to shed light on the Global Warming shemozzle that Al Gore started with his propaganda piece over three years ago.

All this is happening a week before a controversy-laden Climate Change conference in Copenhagen is set to commence where Gore was supposed to deliver a presentation to over 3000 people, but subsequently cancelled. The change in plans is thought to be due in large part to the leaked emails that surfaced this week in which scientists from University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit spoke of manipulating climate data. Republicans in Congress have called for hearings on the subject.

Like the headline says… It sure isn’t easy being green.

That’s right, folks. Yesterday, our own Matthew Harrington (or ‘Mike’ as the lady from the BBC called him) was a guest on the BBC’s radio hour “World Have Your Say”.

The topic of discussion: is there too much pressure on scientists?

Matt can be heard after the link around the 50 minute mark.

Japanese airline All Nippon Airways (ANA) is asking passengers to use the restroom before boarding to weigh less and therefore use less fossil fuel…

Now, I am being disingenuous, according to the Daily Mail, they are asking you to empty your bladder…

How much will this help…?

Five fewer tons of CO2 in a 30 day test period–of 42 flights.

Chicago was voted out of contention in the first round of voting by the Internation Olympic Committee (IOC) in Copenhagen this morning.  This news comes after President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama flew to Copenhagen earlier this week to lobby for Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Tokyo was voted out in the second round.  The two remaining contenders are Madrid (Spain) and Río de Janeiro (Brazil).   The winner will be announced by 12:30PM ET today.

Check back for updates.

UPDATE:

Río de Janeiro has been selected to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

UPDATE:

Here is video of Chicago losing the Olympics bid…

So far, that’s what it sounds like…

And apparently, it changes people’s ideas of him…and it overcomes the “ideological bombing.”

Check out the speech here…

A Chinese newspaper is reporting that the Chinese flag will be hoisted on the South Lawn on September 20, 2009, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Communist country…

Will they leave it flying?  We owe them a lot of money…they pretty much own us…

This is sick, ladies and gentlemen.

The British healthcare system is sentencing people to death.  It’s called “The Liverpool Care Pathway.”  This “Pathway” is dangerous.

“Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.”

Well, no crap!  Of course if you take away their meds and fluids, they will die.

This comes on the heels of a recently released study, which said that one million patients have been subjected to cruelty.

Doctors look for certain signs that patients may be close to death, like unconsciousness or difficulty swallowing medication.

Folks, many times patients are heavily sedated…and many times those medications are like horse pills…

“If a patient is judged to still be able to eat or drink food and water will still be offered to them, as this is considered nursing care rather than medical intervention.”

Oh, how nice of them.  Humanitarian aid while they kill their patients…

The British Department of Health had this to say, “The Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) is an established and recommended tool that provides clinicians with an evidence-based framework to help delivery of high quality care for people at the end of their lives.”
