And then the guy from the Department of Transportation complicates things by putting the arrow pointing the wrong direction.

Hmm. You're probably right. Posting the news of the passing of Representative Murtha under the title "Republican Opportunity" probably is tacky and politically incorrect. So it goes.

Robert Gibbs - White House Press Idiot

One morning back in January I was listening to the radio and they did their "check of the weather". The guy leading the weather man said "It was really chilly this morning. Is this unseasonable cold going to continue?" and the weather man said "We're not the only ones suffering right now. In the past seven days there have been over twelve hundred record breaking cold weather events just in the U.S."

Holy. Cow.

This set of circumstances (having over 1,200 record breaking cold weather events in the U.S. in the space of seven days) points to a couple interesting facts.

1) The U. N.'s IPCC has been "cooking the books" when it comes to "Global Warming" and mankind's effect on the environment http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704107204575038742717786422.html?mod=WSJ_Investing_MoreHeadlines

2) White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is a goofball (and it's entirely possible that he is the single worst Press Secretary in the history of press secretarys).



Way to go Robert! Way to not answer the question that was asked of you. Way to try and make the reporter look stupid for asking a perfectly legitimate question.

Ladies and gentlemen, our White House Press Secretary is a dishonest idiot.

Canadian Premier to Undergo Heart Surgery in the U.S.

Wow. Seriously? This tells me *everything* that I need to know about socialized medicine.

Since internet news links tend to go dead after a while I'm going to post links to several articles about this. Happy reading!
