Global Warming Scam - Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis

Hackers Prove Global Warming Is A Scam:
"It's now official. Much of the hype about global warming is nothing but a complete scam.
Thanks to hackers (or an insider) who broke into The University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and downloaded 156 megaybytes of data including extremely damaging emails, we now know that data supporting the global warming thesis was completely fabricated."

I guess it was inevitable that someone got a hold of some paperwork that discredited the Global Warming Religion. The theory and its disciples were getting too outlandish for the public to believe. I think they were following PETA's play book, and tried the Shock Jock thing one too many times.
How Druid European of them.  

Mayo Clinic Opting Out of Medicare

Mayo Clinic in W. Valley Opting Out of Medicare for Primary Care:
"'Low reimbursements have led one West Valley medical facility to stop taking certain Medicare patients, a pilot program that an Arizona health-care expert says may become a long-term trend in the industry.
'Government payers without question are the worse payers in health care,' said John Rivers, president of the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association. 'Medicare shortfalls in hospital payments represent nearly $1 billion in Arizona alone. And those costs ultimately get shifted onto the backs of privately insured individuals in the form of a hidden health-care tax.'"

The Mayo Clinic's position on Medicare payments has National implications for Senior Citizens on Medicare. This shift in policy looks like it has a good chance in establishing a precedent throughout the industry. To say that it will have a huge financial impact on current and future Medicare recipients is an understatement. The majority of seniors depend on Medicare as their sole source for medical coverage, and this trend doesn't bode well for them financially.
The Medicare reimbursement problem is nothing new, it has been festering with threats of Denial of Service (DoS) by providers for years.  This is the first time that an institute as prestigious as the Mayo Clinic has drawn a line in the sand and refused to accept Medicare patients.
If this isn't another good reason for the Gang of 535 to "stop the insanity" and come up with real health care solutions, nothing is.

Jesse Jackson: Why Does Anyone Listen?

'You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man' - Jesse Jackson: 
"The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill.
We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”"

It never ceases to amaze me that in this day and age there is anyone left that takes these Black Racists seriously. I've always thought that one of these days, like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" we'd see through the lies and we'd all get back to normal. Unfortunately that has yet to happened, and I'm starting to have doubts it ever will. "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!" says Aesop, but Jesse and Al seem to get away with the Big White Lie over and over again.

I will not apologize for using an allegory with the word "Boy" in it. If it was good enough for Aesop, it's good enough for me.

Prepare For 'Global Collapse' - Telegraph

Societe Generale tells clients how to prepare for 'Global Collapse' : 
"Societe Generale has advised clients to be ready for a possible 'global economic collapse' over the next two years, mapping a strategy of defensive investments to avoid wealth destruction.In a report entitled "Worst-case debt scenario", the bank's asset team said state rescue packages over the last year have merely transferred private liabilities onto sagging sovereign shoulders, creating a fresh set of problems."

The article seemed so European Elite that I just had to post it. After all, Americans today are so enamored of what the Europeans and the rest of the world think of us, the article must be be worth the read. N'est-ce Pas?

America, A Serious Nation?

Is America a Serious Nation? - Pat Buchanan:
"For if we are at war, why is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed headed for trial in federal court in the Southern District of New York? Why is he entitled to a presumption of innocence and all of the constitutional protections of a U.S. citizen?"

This is a really good article, but Pat is looking for some Gravitas from the White House where there is none.

It reinforces my belief that Obama doesn't really understand that he is President Of The United States or what the office represents. He looks at it as merely a bully pulpit to advance his progressive agenda and doesn't realize that he was elected to govern. To him it's his Kumbia moment with a few extra perks thrown in. I also think that there are a lot of politicians and MSM political pundits who feel the same way that he does about his election to the highest office in the United States. It seems to be the attitude of a street urchin who has made a big score and is now flaunting it in front of "the man."

They don't seem to care about the country that gave them the opportunity to make something of themselves, they just hate everything that it stands for. It reminds me of the Watts riots during the Sixty's, when the people who's neighborhoods were set ablaze by rioters, thanked the Firefighters and emergency services personnel by throwing rocks at them. Something akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face.

To get back to Pat's question is America a Serious Nation, I must reply with a resounding NO.

Paterson Rips White House For NYC 9/11 Trial - wcbstv.com

Paterson Rips White House For NYC 9/11 Trial - wcbstv.com: 
"Gov. David Paterson openly criticized the White House on Monday, saying he thought it was a terrible idea to move alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other suspected terrorists to New York for trial."

I know that this is a political move by Gov. Paterson, but as an ex-New Yorker I have to agree with him. Not in New York.
If Mr. Holder want's to put the trial on display for all to see, he should do it in DC. This way if, God forbid, anything should happen it will be the Gang of 535 that will suffer, not my friends in New York.
They've been through enough.
