[Garrison] Keillor's Christmas curse

Powerline Blog "I don't know how to read those paragraphs either, but they're appalling even if intended to be taken humorously. Is Keillor a devout Christian? Maybe so; it's the first I've heard of it. In any event, I can't imagine that he speaks for a single Christian other than himself if he seriously thinks that "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "White Christmas" and so on have somehow ruined Christmas. And why anyone would view the fact that these wonderful contributions to our culture were penned by Jews in anything but a positive light is inexplicable."

A French Infantryman's view of American Soldiers (Unsubstantiated)

WorldAffairsBoard ( Translated From the French)"And combat ? If you have seen Rambo you have seen it all - always coming to the rescue when one of our teams gets in trouble, and always in the shortest delay. That is one of their tricks : they switch from T-shirt and sandals to combat ready in three minutes. Arriving in contact with the ennemy, the way they fight is simple and disconcerting : they just charge ! They disembark and assault in stride, they bomb first and ask questions later - which cuts any pussyfooting short."H/t to Paul Van Alstine.

It Has Begun… Green Activists Want a Ban On Soft Toilet Paper

Gateway Pundit "Time to roll off the big number: If each American family would buy one recycled roll just one time, it would save 400,000 trees, allegedly. The problem, though, is that each time paper is shredded during the recycling process, its fibers get shorter. The shorter the fiber, the less soft the tissue. And Americans, though indicating in surveys that they embraced green initiatives, also said they don’t want to sacrifice comfort."

Global warming and the 'settled science' baloney

Claude Sandroff in AT "To appreciate how unsettled global warming science really is, the book Unstoppable Global Warming, Every 1,500 Years, by S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery is an indispensible and relentless handbook. Published in 2007 and stuffed with over 500 references, it shatters almost every common global warming myth." ...."What these books remind us is that whenever the phrase "settled science" enters a policy debate, especially when complicated planetary effects are involved, an instinctive shudder should rifle through our nervous system. Because almost always that loaded phrase masks an attempt to prematurely force conclusions and end all further argument. Those who want the science settled in a flash are those who will benefit most once the science is settled. Either that or they have something to hide or protect. Settled science is dangerous science."

Mass insanity in Copenhagen

Toronto Sun "Whatever they've agreed to has nothing to do with cooling our planet. It has everything to do with some of the world's most corrupt dictators and regimes extorting billions upon billions of dollars from the developed world -- us -- which they will then spend not on reducing their own greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), but in any way they please.

But Nelson also secured other favors for his home state. Asked if he was prepared to support the bill, Nelson said, "Yeah." "
