Peter Robinson continues his talk with T. J. Rodgers.
Does solar power “pay,” in the capitalist sense of the word? Almost. According to T. J. Rodgers, solar power is on the edge of ROI — of generating a worthwhile return on investment. And while there’s a learning curve involved in the process of efficiently capturing solar energy, it is neither steep nor prolonged.
If this report is true, America’s worst ex-president will meet with the leader of a genocidal terror gang.
It would be right in character.
Where can we find more like Bainbridge?
You want to help make society a better place? You want to eliminate poverty? Become a corporate lawyer. Help businesses grow, so that they can create jobs and provide goods and services that make people’s lives better.
A corporate lawyer not only serves the public interest by helping to create new wealth, we also help defend an important social institution from statism.
I wouldn’t count on it, but Samizdata has the email address of the reporter who wrote altered that story on “global warming” – all because an activist told him to.
Ed Driscoll compares two news stories and gives a little glimpse into how “TV news” is made.
He really only scratches the surface. If you’ve never edited video or a movie you just have no idea how powerful it is. I’m glad that idiot reporter got fired for her high-tech lynching of an old man, but Driscoll is right that several other heads should have joined hers in the basket.
Oliver Stone says his Bush biopic will be “fair”.
Reaction from real biographers to the script was, as the Hollywood Reporter cautiously intones, “mixed“.
Break out your magnifying glass and analytical skills!
What subtle differences can you find between this rally and this one?
Peter Robinson continues his chat with T. J. Rodgers, who I like more the more I hear him.
T. J. Rodgers separates climate science from global-warming fiction: Do greenhouse gasses elevate temperatures? Probably true. Are some global-warming scientists spreading false alarms? Probably true, again. Is there more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than, say, 100 years ago? Probably true. Is this catastrophic? Probably not. In sum: Rodgers says it’s simply not clear that global warming is a catastrophe.
I spent an hour learning enough CSS to be able to change the link colors. It’s fun. It’s easy.
And it’s a $15 upgrade to WordPress if I want to be able to save the changes.
I hope you like these colors.
you already know that Saddam stashed a lot of weapons in Syria during the runup to the invasion. It now appears that more evidence may be forthcoming.
And if you haven’t been reading the Patriot Post, then get with it.
The GOP took a look at what three people are saying about Iraq. One of them seems to be the odd man out.
Go figure.
Update:
Perhaps you’d like to join Senator Mitch McConnell in sending him a thank you card. I did.
“I’m here to ____ you.”
Wasn’t that verb supposed to be “help”? Well, I’m sure you can fill in something that fits.
If so, please cut it in two and send a half a clue each to the FBI and the CIA.
Can we just put T. J. Rodgers in charge of everything?
“The higher good?” T. J. replies. “That’s bunk.”
The [real] higher good is serving our customers….That kind of service is a higher service than the way our government looks at it, which is, ‘You elect me, I take over, I go to the big house, I get the driver and the big airplane, and then I tell you what’s good and if you don’t like it then I force it on you.’
Update:
Here’s a good question.
Whodathunkit? I’m actually on George Clooney’s side – regarding one thing. He had a little tantrum when WGA arbitration went against him and decided to go fi-core. I’m not supporting the tantrum, but George “Blind Squirrel” Clooney did what I wish every union member would do.
The unions hate “financial core” members, even though they lie through their teeth about how much money is spent on politics and collect an absurd amount of money from them. They hate fi-core because, if everybody did it, the union would cease to exist.
And wouldn’t that be lovely?
In the course of setting up another blog I found a theme which I rather like. What do you think of the new look?
NB: If the type seems small, remember that Safari and Firefox can make it bigger with ⌘+. This works on lots of web pages, and is a handy trick to know for those of us with older eyes. Most browsers have a way of doing that, even on Windows, I’m told.
where she has been an absolute embarrassment. I have my doubts that McCain would pick up anybody from W’s administration.
This tells me all I need to know about what kind of man his son was.
The Instapundit asks,
Is that a new kind of politics — to keep repeating a falsehood even after it’s been exposed?
I dunno. Kinda rings a bell.
No. Ya think?
Update:
Perhaps you’ve followed that link and scratched your head at what the title of this post could possibly mean.
Welcome to the BBC’s memory hole. They decided to airbrush out the parts that don’t comport with their notion of global warming. You can see what used to be in the article here.
