Quote of the Day

From Ann Coulter, in response to the recent French election of pro-American, anti-Islamic fascism President Nicholas Sarkozy:

The Democratic Party is now officially the only organization on Earth that does not take the threat of Islamic fascism seriously. Between the Democrats and the media, America has gone from its usual position as the world’s last hope to radical Islam’s last hope.

Ouch!

How NOT To Run A War

Oh, my. Now we find a Gitmo detainee filing a lawsuit claiming that he is being “tortured” — by under-inflated balls, unscented deodorant, and the absence of a DVD player. Click on the picture to see the details.

I mean, really — is this any way to run a war? Is our objective to win, or to lose? Permitting nonsense like this, with straight faces, truly makes me wonder…

Sigh.

Global Warming Skeptics

In my reading this morning, I found this interesting article in a most unlikely place:

Climate Momentum Shifting: Prominent Scientists Reverse Belief in Man-made Global Warming - Now Skeptics

Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research

Following the U.S. Senate’s vote today on a global warming measure it is an opportune time to examine the recent and quite remarkable momentum shift taking place in climate science. Many former believers in catastrophic man-made global warming have recently reversed themselves and are now climate skeptics. The names included below are just a sampling of the prominent scientists who have spoken out recently to oppose former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, and the media driven “consensus” on man-made global warming.

The list below is just the tip of the iceberg. A more detailed and comprehensive sampling of scientists who have only recently spoken out against climate hysteria will be forthcoming in a soon to be released U.S. Senate report. Please stay tuned to this website, as this new government report is set to redefine the current climate debate.

In the meantime, please review the list of scientists below and ask yourself why the media is missing one of the biggest stories in climate of 2007. Feel free to distribute the partial list of scientists who recently converted to skeptics to your local schools and universities. The voices of rank and file scientists opposing climate doomsayers can serve as a counter to the alarmism that children are being exposed to on a daily basis.

Where did I find it? On the U.S. Senate’s web site, in the section from the Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works (EPW), where you can (and should!) read the whole thing
