I Own The World

In their video column, Breitbart has a link to a Larry King interview with Al Gore, in which manbearpig apparently mocks Carrie Prejean.  I won’t drive up their hits by linking, and I’m not interested in seeing what amounts to a Perfect Storm of douchenozzles.  But it does bring to mind a theory that Hotspur and I were kicking around the other day.

As he was quite fond of pointing out, Al Gore invented the internet.  Or had a major role in its surge in popularity, or whatever corner he backtracked into after the apostles of Tim Berners-Lee showed up at his front door with torches and pitchforks.  The point being, he was big on taking credit for it.

Now those of us in the business know that the web puts heavy demands on data centers.  Lots of web and database and middleware servers, lots of air conditioning for the servers, lots of online backups and uninterruptable power supplies and routers and switches and hubs and other electrically-powered junk.  Enough so, in fact, that data centers have grown to become one of the largest commercial consumers of electricity in the average urban power grid.

Meanwhile, as the global warmingists’ beloved Hockey Stick graph clearly displays (cough), the most serious jump in temperature occurs just prior to 2000 - concurrent with the jump in internet usage.  Internet usage which put vastly higher demands on the power grid.  Internet usage promoted and supported by Al Gore.

The conclusion, therefore, is blatantly obvious to anyone who’s nodded and wrung their hands through an entire viewing of Loose Change:

I think it’s high time someone sacrificed this fatted calf to Gaia.

I guess in the wake of Fort Hood, the government has learned a harsh lesson about letting hate groups fester, and they’re finally cracking down on these thugs.

A Tennessee state trooper who accidentally sent an e-mail proclaiming white pride to 787 state employees has been suspended for 15 days without pay and will have to attend diversity training.

The e-mail from Trooper Brent Gobbell states, in part, “You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member ... you call him a racist.” It also includes a list of racist epithets.

Full text of the letter in question in the extended entry.  Serious white-power stuff, I’m warnin’ you.

uh, wait… Frontlash!!!

Tick… Tick… Tick…

[Rochester, N.Y.] Munir Muthana, 27 ... allegedly struck several pedestrians, civilian cars, and police cars intentionally Thursday afternoon ... Muthana allegedly got intoxicated and was seen going into the Kennedy Towers with a transvestite.  ...When someone on the street confronted Muthana with that information, it is alleged that Muthana became enraged and began intentionally running people over.

According to court documents, when he was arrested, Muthana was yelling remarks such as “F*** the police,” “Ben Franklin was stupid,” “The Muslims will fix this country,” and “I was trying to fight that f***** shemale.”

Police apparently did not question his weapon of choice.

...he was also heard muttering words like “jihad” and “hating Americans,” he also reportedly said he didn’t hate Americans, just police.

Nobody ever said Sudden Jihaddi Syndrome was confined to dumbass simpletons.  But it helps.

“The possibility that Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his co-conspirators could be found ‘not guilty’ due to some legal technicality just blocks from Ground Zero should give every American pause.”

The Army psychiatrist accused in the fatal shootings at Fort Hood may be paralyzed from the waist down after being shot multiple times during the attack, his attorney told The Associated Press on Friday.

Prejean had an agreement with the King Show that she would not be asked about her legal settlement with the pageant, and that she would not take calls....

No. means. No.

Conclusion: Gay marriage is awesome. And all because TMZ has a video of Carrie Prejean masturbating.

............the RNC’s health care package for their employees covers abortions. At the risk of belaboring the obvious, if you at any time have donated to the RNC since 1991 (when this policy apparently took place), some incremental portion of your donation went to the administrative costs of running the RNC, including employee salaries and benefits packages. Part of “benefits packages” in this context is apparently a health care package that pays for abortions..........

Not. Fucking. Helping.

N. O’Really

Nearing a decision on sending more troops off to war, President Barack Obama told a military audience Thursday that he will not dispatch them into conflict without proper support - including the backing of the American people.

“That is a promise that I make to you,” ...

Prufrockian

From where I sit I see many people underestimating President Obama because they cannot get their heads around who and what this man actually is and what he portends.  ...

Interpretations of Obama, either in worship or in condemnation, will always be wistfully Prufrockian and up for “decisions and revisions which a minute can reverse” to the extent they fail to look at man’s actions. Everything else is “blue smoke and mirrors.”

Srsly - RTWT I think Vanderleun has a point there.

Federal prosecutors Thursday took steps to seize four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government.

In what could prove to be one of the biggest counterterrorism seizures in U.S. history, prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and an alleged front company.

The assets include Islamic centers in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston, more than 100 acres in Virginia, and a 36-story office tower in New York.

The action against the Shiite Muslim mosques is sure to inflame relations between the U.S. government and American Muslims, many of whom are fearful of a backlash after last week’s Fort Hood shooting rampage, blamed on a Muslim American soldier....
