Global Warming for Profit
A good read: Trading Hot Air? by Steven Milloy
Shame on Speaker Pelosi and Morgan Stanley. Evidently we have big business running things again.
A few pieces of my mind.

Here we go again. Stories are springing up everywhere about "Global Warming" zapping the ice caps. (See, MSNBC: Arctic summer could be ice-free by 2040)
I have yet to see any story give us data to support this. What fact's are in the stories? Researchers (what researchers, how many) have written a computer model that predicts based on current greenhouse gases acceleration.
How accurate is their computer model? Well, evidently, not enough. Facts (see Junk Science from the Link section of this web site) indicate that the temperature is fluctuating but not rising. Facts are that so-called greenhouse gases attribute less than 0.01° C. Currently as I write this blog, by the way, the global mean temperature 10.26° C. And for those of you who would argue that we're almost to winter, I'll remind you that the Southern hemisphere is almost to summer.
What could be the reason for such misinformation? Money.
Without misleading findings, these "scientists" wouldn't be able to receive funding to look for more "problems" to fix.
Without misleading findings, big companies that will remain nameless in this article can't sell equipment creating to fix the "problems".
Who lobbies Congress for regulations and studies? Environmental groups? Sure. But Big Business spends by far the most money lobbying for measures and contributing to the environmental non-profits. These companies have a product to sell. Environmentalists and the Media are buying right in and passing along their message.

I've thought about commenting on the Michael Richards debacle, but I didn't have anything constructive to say.
I applaud Paul Mooney's response. Read this:

New Jersey's Supreme has apparently decided to misinterpret the constitution; Twice!
Infringement number one: They are forcing the state legislature to to create a new statute. Excuse me, the judicial branch had the sole job of interpreting the law. They are not to decide that new laws are needed.
Infringement number two: They decided that homosexuals should have the right to marry people of the same sex. It seems that they think that homosexuals and heterosexuals do not have equal rights uner the law. Excuse me, but when was the last time the heterosexuals were allowed to marry people of the same sex? What's next? Just because pedophiles want to marry kids, should we let them, too?
Note to the courts: Read the constitution. If you need reading glasses, let me know.

Not only are two innocent people dead, but the killer did not survive to be prosecuted and suffer from what he has done.

Well, well, well... It looks like the Pope has outraged many Muslims by truthfully talking about their religion. People are entitled to their opinions aren't they?
