Despite sequester, DOD signs contract for $59/gallon green jet fuel
Despite sequester, DOD signs contract for $59/gallon green jet fuel | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel recently warned that sequestration would cause “suspension of important activities, curtailed training, and could result in furloughs of civilian personnel” but the spending cuts haven’t killed the green fuels program, as the Pentagon has continued purchasing renewable fuel at $59 per gallon.
“In March, Gevo entered into a contract with the Defense Logistics Agency to supply the U.S. Army with 3,650 gallons of renewable jet fuel to be delivered by the second quarter of 2013,” Gevo announced this week in its first quarter financial report.
“This initial order may be increased by 12,500 gallons.
All shipments will be at a fixed price of $59 per gallon during the initial testing phase."

Sins Of The Fourth Estate (Part II)
Irish Examiner USA: Sins Of The Fourth Estate (Part II):
Read what the ex-abortionist, Bernard Nathanson, one of the founders of NARAL said when he revealed the deceptions, dirty tricks, and other tactics that helped make abortion legal and socially acceptable in the United States:
How did we do this? It is important to understand the tactics involved because these tactics have been used throughout the western world with one permutation or another, in order to change abortion law.
"The First Key Tactic was to capture the media - with lies. The number of women dying from illegal abortions was around 200-250 annually. The figure constantly fed to the media was 10,000.
"The Second Key Tactic was to Play the Catholic Card - We systematically vilified the Catholic Church and its 'socially backward ideas' and picked on the Catholic hierarchy as the villain in opposing abortion.
"The Third Key Tactic was the Denigration and Suppression of all Scientific Evidence that Life Begins at Conception - A favorite pro-abortion tactic is to insist that the definition of when life begins is impossible; that the question is a theological or moral or philosophical one, anything but a scientific one."
President Obama claims to care about women but maybe all he really cares about are their votes. We know that he voted against the Born Alive bill while a State Senator in Illinois. When asked in 2008 at what point a baby gets "human rights," Obama flippantly answered, "... whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity ... is above my pay grade."
There is nothing above his pay grade now yet no reporter will dare to ask him that question now.
'Hate Crime' Hoaxes
Best of the Web Today: 'Hate Crime' Hoaxes - WSJ.com:
"Why are phony "hate crimes" so common, especially on college campuses?
...One obvious answer is that people do this sort of thing to get attention.
Multicultural identity politics, which is a dominant force on campus and a significant one off it, creates a perverse incentive structure by rewarding victims of purported hate and going easy on hoaxers. "

Revealed: The Five Loopiest Guardian Articles of All Time
Revealed: The Five Loopiest Guardian Articles of All Time – Telegraph Blogs:
"2. Conservatives are morons.
According to George Monbiot, scientists have established as an “empirical fact” that “conservatism thrives on low intelligence and poor information”.
This is why conservatives are suckers for racism, homophobia, sexism, after all:
Prejudice tends not to arise directly from low intelligence but from the conservative ideologies to which people of low intelligence are drawn.
Conservative ideology is the "critical pathway" from low intelligence to racism.
By contrast, reading the Guardian is the “critical pathway” towards snobbery and intellectual bigotry.
Or so the experts say."
