So which one is it?

The NYTimes has an article on the coming Global Ice Age.  Weren't temperatures rising just a few months ago?

Or is an Ice Age one of the "symptoms" on Global Warming? 

The scientists across the Pond are leaning the same way.  When will Al Gore apologize?  When will California say that CFC lightbulbs are mandated?  Are there any repercussions for the Left for being wrong, again?

Tom and Charlie chat.

Listen to them discuss how they don't know anything about the man that they just helped to get elected to the most powerful office in the World.  And then ask yourself, why didn't they practice what they were preaching?

Isn't dissent the highest form of patriotism?

I'm sure the ACLU will come to the defense of this guy ASAP.  If an Obama supporter was arrested at a McCain rally, simply for wearing a shirt, would it have been news?

Thanks for leaking more information, NYTimes..

Thanks for making the United States more safe

Asshats.

Shocking.

Really, Ms. Howell?  A "tilt"?

The op-ed page ran far more laudatory opinion pieces on Obama, 32, than on Sen. John McCain, 13. There were far more negative pieces (58) about McCain than there were about Obama (32), and Obama got the editorial board's endorsement. The Post has several conservative columnists, but not all were gung-ho about McCain.

Stories and photos about Obama in the news pages outnumbered those devoted to McCain. Post reporters, photographers and editors -- like most of the national news media -- found the candidacy of Obama, the first African American major-party nominee, more newsworthy and historic. Journalists love the new; McCain, 25 years older than Obama, was already well known and had more scars from his longer career in politics.

But Obama deserved tougher scrutiny than he got, especially of his undergraduate years, his start in Chicago and his relationship with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who was convicted this year of influence-peddling in Chicago. The Post did nothing on Obama's acknowledged drug use as a teenager.

Where was Newsweek with this before the election?

Careful what you wish for, Media.  Maybe this is an indicator why your circulation numbers are down, and no one buys your product.

"I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work."

I guess that only applies to Democrat Presidents, eh Mr. Matthews?  Amazing.  All along, I thought the job of a journalist was to report the news, and let the people decide.

Silly me.

Good thing there is no bias in the Media.

Think this will play well in coal-producing States?

Unbelievable:

The senior vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association called Obama's comments "unbelievable."

"His comments are unfortunate," Chris Hamilton said Sunday, "and really reflect a very uninformed voice and perspective to coal specifically and energy generally."

Hamilton noted other times Obama and vice presidential candidate Joe Biden have made seemingly anti-coal statements.

"In Ohio recently, when Joe Biden said 'not here' about building coal-fired power plants -- this is exactly what will happen," Hamilton said. "Financing won't be directed here. It will all go aboard for plants elsewhere in the world. The United Sates is importing more coal today from Indonesia, South Africa and Colombia than we ever have.

"If we're going to create a situation where coal-fired power plants are at that much of a disadvantage, there will be new ones built. But as Biden said, just not here."

Republican presidential candidate John McCain's state director said Obama's statements are troubling, especially for West Virginians.

"I think this clearly shows the attitude the Obama-Biden ticket has toward coal," Ben Beakes said Sunday. "Rhetoric is cheap, but behind closed doors what they tell their supporters - that's what we have to take as gospel.

"They're definitely not friends of coal."

A few things on Auntie Zeituni..

First off, if the information on her immigration status was gained illegally, the people responsible need to be punished.  I'll do a post in a minute on the similarities/differences (as I see them) in Joe v. Auntie.  So save those comments for that post.

Second, how was someone who has been "flagged" for deportation able to be on public assisstence in Boston for the last four years?  This is what drives us on the Right CRAZY, when it comes to Government entitlement programs.  Here you have someone who is in the Country illegally, using tax dollars for housing  (and most likely medical care, food, etc.).

Third, it was reported that Auntie had donated $260 to Obama's campaign.  Those funds are illegal for Obama to accept, as Auntie is not a citizen of the U.S.  Additionally, where did she get the $$ from?  If she has that kind of disposable cash laying around, why are taxpayers subsidizing her rent?  +++UPDATE+++ The donations were made in three $5 increments, two were made for $25, and it is unclear on the other donations.

Michelle Malkin notes one of her commenters has a great moment of clarity in Obama-think:

QUESTION II, from commenter tony4951: “So let me get this straight. Millionaire Obama doesn’t use his wealth to help his poor illegal alien Aunt get out of public housing, but if I complain about Obama wanting to raise my taxes to ’spread the wealth around’ I’m the selfish one?”

More "gray area" fundraising by Obama..

Now he's raffling off a chance to spend election night as his guest.  But does it run afoul of campaign finance rules?  (Not that it matters to Obama)  A closer look:

"Obama has set a dangerous precedent especially in terms of taking those credit card donations and not verifying where they are coming from," he said.

What are the precise ground rules of this "front-row-seat-to-history" giveaway? And what about those claims that federal election laws may be violated?

Obama's campaign declined to comment.

Careful there, CBS2 in Chicago.  We know what happens if you ask the Obama Camp the "wrong" type of questions.
