My Way News - Some blacks insist: 'I'm not African-American'
"I don't like African-American.
It denotes something else to me than who I am," said Smith, whose parents are from Mississippi and North Carolina.
"I can't recall any of them telling me anything about Africa.
They told me a whole lot about where they grew up in Macomb County and Shelby, N.C."

Then there’s the broader, U-6 measure of unemployment which includes the discouraged plus part-timers who wish they had full time work.
That unemployment rate is still a sky-high 15.1 percent.

Why wind won't work
Why wind won't work Australian Climate Madness
Wind farms are expensive, inefficient and ugly.
And that’s just their good points.

Do Wind and Solar Work? Power Line
Everyone knows that wind and solar energy are inefficient sources of energy compared to fossil fuels.
But, as the Science and Environmental Policy Project points out in the current The Week That Was, the extent to which “green” energy actually works is surprisingly opaque:

White House Panic: Gruesome 2012 Economic Forecast Could Doom Obama
White House Panic: Gruesome 2012 Economic Forecast Could Doom Obama - Guy Benson
If the CBO estimate is correct, it would mean that the United States recorded a deficit of more than $1 trillion for every year of Obama’s first term. The deficit was $1.4 trillion in 2009, $1.3 trillion in 2010 and $1.3 trillion in 2011.
The largest deficit recorded before that was $458 billion in 2008.

About the movie, "Carbon Nartion", tonight (Tue. Jan. 31 at MCC)-comments from the article:
"Our goal should be to move from a carbon based to a nuclear based with hydrogen gas for all of our other needs. We will not get there by wasting time plugging in our cars or putting up wind mills and solar panels.
They just don't have the stones to do the job.
I've been in some very serious manufacturing plants. Not the cooks tour. The down and dirty kind. It takes raw power to make our factories hum. To tinker with this is suicide. If we want to do it on the margin to make some citizens feel less guilt and they want to pay for it. Fine. But to think we can base our economy on it is nuts.
If we can build a miniaturized nuclear reactor.
Put it to sea.
Have it dive down thousands of feet, and travel 90+ miles per hour, and do so silently.
Don't tell me we can't develop nuclear power on land and use that clean power to make hydrogen gas, and pipe that gas to stations for filling up our cars in the distant future.
The electric car is stupid.
It will end up being an environmental disaster.
Do you have any idea what it takes to manufacture a high capacity battery?
Holy cow!
Talk about environmental suicide.
I wish the Pipedream was true. It's a lie. Brought to you by the same political party that thought the federal government could run a medical insurance system while simultaneously running a pension system. Why would I let these people run a taco stand, even under a close supervision of the biggest mexican SOB I could find to make sure the feds made the taco just right.
They killed the light bulb. Now they are going to kill the country."

Income Inequality Is Lower Now Than It Was Under Clinton
TaxProf Blog: Tax Foundation: Income Inequality Is Lower Now Than It Was Under Clinton
As a result, it is not evident that the Bush tax cuts in either the top marginal rate or capital gains rate had any long-term effect on inequality.
If anything, they appear to have reduced inequality.
