Google’s solar plant runs on natural gas

Posted on June 17, 2015 | 1 comment

For four hours a day, no less. But that’s not the funniest part. The funniest part about this giant bird burner, is this:

“Because of alarmism based on computer model predictions of rising temperatures in 100 years, we’ve built a fossil-fuel fired solar plant which is already in trouble because of failed computer model predictions of the clouds over the next few years …

“Now, even the best solar energy conversion devices don’t operate 24 hours a day, or even 12 hours a day. Generally, eight hours a day or even less is the norm. And that has been cut down by clouds … so at present, dreaded fossil fuels are likely providing a third of the energy to fuel the plant.”

Google’s plant, of course, is fully subsidized by the Democrat federal government, i.e. your tax money at work, because it isn’t efficient enough to turn a profit. Which isn’t funny at all.

Why Fahrenheit is right and Celsius is wrong

It’s very logical, too logical for Frogs and others who insist on their contrary forms of measurement. Fortunately, despite all our Europhiles and their attempts to dissuade us from God’s measuring system, we’re still clinging to logic. And if our own Little Barry tries to force yours on us via executive order, we’ll just ignore his sorry arse.

Face it Froggies, there are those who have used the metric system and there are those who have walked on the moon. And every air traffic controller in the world today, including in Frogland, still uses our measurement for aircraft speed and altitude. And not yours.

Who is more boring than Barry?

Posted on June 13, 2015 | 1 comment

Why our likely next president, of course. The well known thief and liar Ma Barker is absurdly boring, with her silly platitudes and outright falsehoods. With her avalanche of cliches and pablum about problems with no solutions, Ma will make the pedestrian, mendacious Barry almost eloquent in retrospect.

Eight years of Ma Barker and her babble about how “it takes a village, etc.” will make the presidency even more irrelevant than Barry has. Maybe with the continuing charade of Ma and her sex criminal of a husband, we can finally agree to downsize the federal monstrosity and dispense with presidents altogether?

The emperor’s new plane

Mr. Carbon Limits certainly doesn’t intend to help solve global warming (™, Democrat Party) himself. Such details are for us peasants.

“…one flight from Washington D.C. to Florida six weeks ago emitted more carbon than 17 passenger cars would in a year.”

“The Boeing 747-8 is the longest and second largest airplane ever built and features a regal stateroom, an office, and dining and conference rooms.”

Just perfect for hopping up to NYC to catch a Broadway show, or who knows what, with Mooch. Or jetting off to Hollywood for another fundraiser.

Via Instapundit, who says the interior opulence would make a Russian mobster proud. A fitting analogy these days.

NPR’s list of suspicious Jews

Posted on June 10, 2015 | 2 comments

This accusation of dual citizenship (U.S. & Israel) of NPR’s “reporter” Diane Rehm against Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders is an old, old libel against American Jews who support Israel “too much” for the likes of Ms. Rehm.

Notice that she didn’t phrase the remark as a question, but as a statement: “Senator, you have dual citizenship with Israel.” Which Sanders denied, of course, because there is no such thing, as even the dumbest anti-Semites seem to know.

I don’t know if her name is pronounced ream, but it should be. That’s the type of “journalist” National Progressive Radio employs. Your tax dollars at work.

(Just for the record, Diane, I saw on Facebook that you were hired by NPR after losing your hamburger-flipping job at Wendy’s.)

UPDATE: Not only is she part of the progressive left media, and the progressive left is increasingly anti-Semitic, Rehm also is an Arab. Well, that explains it. She’s another Helen Thomas, and just as ugly. BTW, Rehm has apologized, for whatever that’s worth. Not much these days, as every two-bit racist knows. She knew what she was doing, as even TPM notes. She should be fired. But she won’t be, of course.

Obama giving ISIS a pass

Posted on June 9, 2015 | 4 comments

Wormtongue isn’t really fighting ISIS, according to a retired Air Force general who ought to know. Even I can see that twelve airstrikes a day is piddlin’.

Not that you would expect more from the Great Divider. He only talks tough. And even then he’s usually lyin’.

Screw you, We’re from Texas

Always did like Ray Wylie Hubbard, even if his unwashed, scraggly appearance takes a bit of getting used to. As for the post title number here don’t let him fool you.

Irony hell, Ray. And notice how close he clips his mustache, belying the unshaven look. More to this character than meets the eye and ear, obviously.
