Iraq safer than Mexico

It’s official, size ten flying shoes to the contrary notwithstanding:

"The police are generally helpless, hundreds of thousands of middle-class Mexicans have fled the border region, often to the United States (if they had dual-citizenship, which many do). Those without money must hunker down and wait for someone to win this war."

We could put the gangsters out of business and stop it all, if Barry had the nerve to end the failed drug war.

The bad thing about Bradford’s win

It rewards the quite classless idea of running up the score, as Oklahoma did all season (except when it lost to Texas) and especially against hapless Missouri in the Big Twelve title game.

The carbon dioxide cult

As Barry prepares to raise the price of electricity, gasoline, heating oil and diesel fuel (via taxing carbon emissions to reverse "global warming"), scientific skeptics are gathering allies:

“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” — Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group."

Read. It. All.

It’s Sam

Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford has won the Heisman trophy over Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow. I’m sorry the Tuscola Kid didn’t get it, but I’m glad it went to the Big Twelve. Colt still has a chance next year. Well, all three of them do, actually.

Missing the moon

Bureaucratic intransigence is the order of the day at NASA, where Mike Griffin, the presumably soon-to-be ex-administrator, is fighting to preserve his little return-to-Apollo vision from Barry’s transition team. As usual, going back to the moon seems to be about the last thing to all concerned. I’m betting the Chinese will have a base there before we do.

The UN Interfaith Dialogue Hoax

Apt title. More lies from the Dictator’s Club, via Eye on the UN.
