• Politics and Science

  I've always said that it was sad that people can't trust climate change data because it has been politicized. Now, leaked e-mails prove what I have always believed. That scientists manipulate data to the outcome they wish it to be.
  
  The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was started [...]

• Bush vs. Obama.

  I think we have all become used to hearing Obama blaming Bush for all his economic problems. As we are coming to the end of the full first year of the Obama presidency, I think it's informative to look back at Bush's first year.
  
  You might remember that Bush [...]

• Chris Matthews Is An Idiot

  As Noel Sheppard pointed out in an earlier post at Newsbusters, Chris Matthews once again accuses the Tea Party goers of being too white:
  
  "This is a largely white -- almost no minorities in this crowd," reported MSNBC's O'Donnell live from the scene.
  
  Matthews reiterated, "Well,'" [...]

  The left has gotten a lot of "giggles" over the term "teabaggers" in describing Americans who attend the tea parties. For those of you who don't know, teabagging is a perverse sexual term. It is interesting to me that the left not only knew the term, but seemed very' [...]
