Sorry Al Gore, Swiss Glaciers Melted Faster in the 1940's Than Today
YID With LID: Sorry Al Gore, Swiss Glaciers Melted Faster in the 1940's Than Today
"One of the things the global warming moonbats point at as proof of their Global Warming theory is the melting of Swiss glaciers, for example the below is from June 2009:
Global warming is happening in Switzerland too. The latest study revealed that glaciers in Switzerland shrank by huge 12 percent in the last 10 years, which is their highest melting rate in history. Scientists agree that this is due to higher temperatures and lighter snowfalls. Scientific data showed that this last decade was really bad in terms of glacier melting in Switzerland, and that Switzerland lost lot of water due to rapid melting of glaciers."
And the facts prove that "proof" to be a lie.
But that won't stop the Obamunists or their MSM acolytes from repeating the lie until they declare it "settled science".

U.S. Treasuries Post Worst Performance Among Sovereign Markets
"Treasuries were the worst performing sovereign debt market in 2009 as the U.S. sold $2.1 trillion of notes and bonds to fund extraordinary efforts to bolster the economy and financial markets.

Feds probe Detroit's pensions
Feds probe Detroit's pensions
"U.S. probe into pension funds connects to City Hall scandals
An investment adviser who vetted deals that cost Detroit's public pensions $90 million.
A former city pension trustee accused of soliciting bribes.
Middlemen paid by businesses seeking millions in Detroit pension funds.
These developments, among others, have prompted federal authorities to investigate the dealings of the city's pensions -- one for the police and fire departments, another for general city workers"
And guess who pays if there ain't enought to pay the Detroit pensioneers?

Heroin for dummies - NYPOST.com
Heroin for dummies - NYPOST.com
"Here's the latest smack on taxpayers.
The city spent $32,000 on 70,000 fliers that tell you how to shoot heroin, complete with detailed tips on prepping the dope and injecting it into your arm.
The Health Department handout has outraged New York's top drug prosecutors and abuse experts.
'It's basically step-by- step instruction on how to inject a poison,' said John Gilbride, who heads the Drug Enforcement Administration's New York office."
The Health Department defended its brochure, saying it was helpful and necessary, and has been distributed only to addicts or those at risk of becoming abusers.
"Our goal is to promote health and save lives with this information," said Daliah Heller, assistant commissioner for the Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Use Prevention, Care and Treatment.
Asked why the handout tells people how to shoot up, Heller said, "From a health perspective, there is a less harmful way to inject yourself."

Climategate: You should be steamed
Climategate: You should be steamed
"Now that Copenhagen is past history, what is the next step in the man-made global warming controversy?
Without question, there should be an immediate and thorough investigation of the scientific debauchery revealed by “Climategate.”"
What do the skeptics believe?
First, they concur with the believers that the Earth has been warming since the end of a Little Ice Age around 1850.
The cause of this warming is the question.
Believers think the warming is man-made, while the skeptics believe the warming is natural and contributions from man are minimal and certainly not potentially catastrophic à la Al Gore.
Second, skeptics argue that CO2 is not a pollutant but vital for plant life.
Third, and most important, skeptics believe that climate models are grossly overpredicting future warming from rising concentrations of carbon dioxide.

U.S. Intensifies Screening for Travelers From 14 Nations
U.S. Intensifies Screening for Travelers From 14 Nations
"Citizens of 14 nations, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, who are flying to the United States will be subjected indefinitely to the intense screening at airports worldwide that was imposed after the Christmas Day bombing plot, Obama administration officials announced Sunday."
Good idea but why start in 2010?
Didn't 9-11 happen ...like... in 2001?

U.S. Economy Likely to Perform Poorly Over Next Decade
U.S. Economy Likely to Perform Poorly Over Next Decade - Real Time Economics - WSJ
"The U.S. economy is this decade likely to perform as poorly as the one that just ended due to higher savings by more cautious Americans and a less qualified labor force, several top economists said Sunday."
A "less qualified" workforce?
Huh?
Maybe we just need to spend MORE $$$$ on the big teeechers unions and those "overworked" kolege professors and administrators...right?

Bin Laden Slams EU Over Prophet Cartoons-bumped from 2008
Our "brave", liberal MSM doesn't seem to have the guts to show any of the offending cartoons.
Which one offends you the most?
Osama bin Laden, in a new audio message posted Wednesday, condemned the publication of drawings that he said insulted the Prophet Muhammad and warned Europeans of a 'severe' reaction to come."

Power Line - The radical feminist empire strikes back at Duke
"But for Duke's Women's Center, whose turf includes allegations of sexual misconduct, the decline in 'business' is unwelcome. Its representative argues that the decline in reports of sexual misconduct is the result of a rise in unreported misconducted. This must be true, she maintains, because Duke has a 'rape culture.' The same culture, presumably, that produced the non-rape by the Duke lacrosse players.
But here's my favorite part of the story. Ada Gregory, director of the Women's Center, argues that 'higher IQ males' like those who populate Duke are particularly effective at 'manipulation and coercion.' Hence their ability to 'rape' women without them even realizing it.
It is my understanding that Duke also admits 'higher IQ females.' But if you're a radical feminist, women must always be clueless and helpless, no matter how intelligent they might seem."
