Obama's Approval Most Polarized for First-Year President
Obama's Approval Most Polarized for First-Year President
"The 65 percentage-point gap between Democrats' (88%) and Republicans' (23%) average job approval ratings for Barack Obama is easily the largest for any president in his first year in office, greatly exceeding the prior high of 52 points for Bill Clinton."
Seriously!
88% of democrats approve of Obama's performance as president?!
And we let those people have drivers licences?!
Where are the "studies" corrolating voting patterns with IQ .......

Taxpayers to Fork Out $2.5 Million for Single Census Ad During Super Bowl
Taxpayers to Fork Out $2.5 Million for Single Census Ad During Super Bowl
"Taxpayers might want to pay close attention to this Sunday's Super Bowl broadcast or they'll miss Uncle Sam's 30-second, $2.5-million reminder to stand up and be counted."
You have to click the link to see this very odd TV ad from last night's Super Bowl telecast.
Not only is it another idiotic wast of taxpayer future-money, it is so weird that most who watched didn't have a clue what is was about.
This article is from FoxNews.
You probably didn't see it on any of the other Obama pandering "news" operations.

Update: Suspect in custody after security breach at Detroit Metro Airport
Update: Suspect in custody after security breach at Detroit Metro Airport
"The Detroit Free Press reports it appeared the man , who they describe as Arabic, did not appear to understand English as he passed through screening.
But police who took him into custody said that was not the case."
This could be another clear case of terrorists "testing the system".
Or not.
But it is sad that I tend to trust a newspaper over the local police in matters of terrorism and security.

AirTran to begin flights out of Grand Rapids, airfare price competition expected
AirTran to begin flights out of Grand Rapids, airfare price competition expected
Discount airline AirTran Airways will begin air service from Gerald R. Ford International Airport in May, with two flights a day to Baltimore and one to Orlando."
This is wonderful news.
But the newspaper's headline "... price competition expected" is perplexing.
Either they think their average reader needs help in understanding the concept of competition or that concept is new to the writer.
I'm not sure which is more disappointing.

Climate Change: Professional global warming alarmists better think about looking for new jobs. It looks like they're in for a long, cold winter — and a frigid spring and summer as well.
Those who've been spreading global-warming fears must be waking up each morning and asking themselves: What's going to happen today? A new revelation about the corruption of climate science has become almost a daily event.
On Thursday, the U.K.'s Telegraph reported that India was pulling out of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and forming its own agency to study global warming. Why? Because the Indian government feels it can't depend on the IPCC's work.
And why should it? The concerns about the IPCC's accuracy are justified. A day after India's announcement, the Netherlands asked the U.N. to explain why the IPCC had said in its 2007 report that 55% of the country was below sea level when the Dutch themselves have reckoned that only 26% of the nation is that low.
This is the same IPCC that said in the same 2007 report that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 — though there's no scientific study to confirm the claim. It was based on the hunch of one scientist who expressed his opinion to a reporter.
The IPCC withdrew the assertion when it became widely known that it was bogus. But if the panel hadn't been called out, we suspect it would have kept mum.
Compounding the headaches for warm-mongers is a probe being launched by the British Parliament into the Climate Research Unit e-mail scandal. The inquiry is intended "to determine whether there is any evidence of the manipulation or suppression of data which is at odds with acceptable scientific practice and may therefore call into question any of the research outcomes."
This isn't terribly fresh news, having been announced on Jan. 22 by Parliament. But news that casts doubt on global warming tends to move slowly, if at all, in the U.S. media. If not for the foreign press, the inquiry would be virtually unknown in this country.
That 2007 report helped the IPCC win a share of the Nobel Prize. But its work is looking less credible by the day. Can any of its claims be trusted?
Its authors — who merely compiled others' work and did no research of their own — sure haven't inspired confidence in their work. In fact, their blunders are quickly pushing the global warming farce toward a grand collapse.
