Jack Welch: Obama invented storm
by PeraclesPlease 10/29/2012 - 11:31 am
Hot off his claims Obama made up the latest batch of jobs statistics, Jack Welch suggests Obama had his global warming pals gin up a hurricane to make him look awesome and presidential.
Obama's Chicago headquarters released a rather cryptic non-denial, saying, "you don't need a Weatherman to know which way the wind blows."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump accused Obama of creating the hurricane to give him an excuse not to take $5 million and release all his records. The offer must be accepted by 5pm Halloween. Atlantic City and Manhattan are expected to be underwater by then.
For the first time, FEMA is handing out snorkles and waterproof pens for early voters as Obama is expecting a surge in the surfer "choom" vote.
But the White House itself appears unperturbed by the rapidly progressing events, reportedly keeping previous Halloween commitments, though apparently shopping for trendy "Frankenstormette" outfits for Malia and Sasha.
Mitt Romney's campaign appears to be taking the emergency more seriously - after saying FEMA should be shut down or turned over to the states (half of which will be missing by this time tomorrow), the candidate was seen strapping his most cherished possessions and family members to the roof of several of his houses, just in case.

I-5 bridge collapses over Skagit River near Mount Vernon;...
A bridge collapsed over Skagit River tonight near Mount Vernon. This was on Interstate 5 both north bound and south bound, four lanes total. No word yet on how many cars went into the water. This is so sad. How many of these will we have to have before we start financing infrastructure? Most of our bridges are in sad shape.

Utilities for dummies: How they work and why that needs to...There’s very little public discussion of utilities or utility regulations, especially relative to sexier topics like fracking or electric cars. That’s mainly because the subject is excruciatingly boring, a thicket of obscure institutions and processes, opaque jargon, and acronyms out the wazoo. Whether PURPA allows IOUs to customize RFPs for low-carbon QFs is actually quite important, but you, dear reader, don’t know it, because you fell asleep halfway through this sentence. Utilities are shielded by a force field of tedium.It’s is an unfortunate state of affairs, because this is going to be the century of electricity. Everything that can be electrified will be. (This point calls for its own post, but mark my...

"Kids Shoot the Darndest Things"
I'm not sure how many of you have read the Seattle newspaper The Stranger. "Goldy" is a sudonym (I hope I spelled that right) - the writer is pretty hardcore and unrelenting on many progressive issues, gun ownership no exception.

How to Humble a Wing Nut (by former administrator of Obama...
By Cass R. Sunstein, Bloomberg View, May 20, 2013
There is no standard definition of the all-important term “wing nut,” so let’s provide one. A wing nut is someone who has a dogmatic commitment to an extreme political view (“wing”) that is false and at least a bit crazy (“nut”).
A wing nut might believe that George W. Bush is a fascist, that Barack Obama is a socialist, that big banks run the Department of the Treasury or that the U.S. intervened in Libya because of oil.
When wing nuts...

Wait, there are riots in Sweden?
By Elias Groll, Passport @ ForeignPolicy.com, May 22, 2013
[....] The rioting -- the worst social unrest to strike the country in many years -- was sparked by the lethal police shooting of a 69-year-old, knife-wielding man last week in the suburb of Husby, the epicenter of the riots. Roaming gangs of angry youths have since clashed with police and Husby residents have complained of racist treatment by police officers, who they say have used epithets such as "monkey."
What's happening in Husby is clearly a symptom of Sweden's failed effort to integrate its massive immigrant population. Housing segregation is rampant in the country, and Husby is a case study in how immigrant populations have come to dominate Stockholm's outer...

Welch is just acting like a pig lately.
And I can just imagine how much money he has made under this Administration the last few years!
We just cannot afford to respond in kind!
