Interesting Items <http://www.jiglu.com/tags/interesting-items> 6/22 - Howdy all, a few Interesting Items for your information. Enjoy - In this issue: 1. More IGs 2. Palin 3. Durbin 4. Iran <http://www.jiglu.com/tags/iran> 5. Climate Report 6. Cheerios 1. More IGs. As the week ended, evidence surfaced of the Obama administration obstructing and removing two more Inspectors General. The first was the IG assigned to monitor the TARP program payouts. He has uncovered a large amount of questionable spending and asked for supporting documentation from Geithner’s Treasury Department. Treasury has stonewalled the request, refusing to provide the information. The third IG was at the International Trade Commission. She was fired after a dispute over paperwork. The ITC position is important, as it is where Obama and his Chicago cronies will be rewriting trade agreements that will in the end, benefit them more than the rest of the country. The Americorps scandal<http://www.jiglu.com/tags/americorps>is hugely important, as laundering money through ACORN and Americorps is the vehicle that the Obama administration will use to manufacture votes for the next two elections. If you think that massive election fraud is only an Iranian regime artifact, you haven’t seen anything yet. The question is going to be what do we do when the left steals the 2010 and 2012 elections via election fraud, manufactured voters, voter intimidation by the Black Panthers at the polling places, installing themselves as a permanent, illegitimate governing majority? ------------------------------ 2. Palin. As the Letterman – Palin food fight settled down last week, three questions became apparent: Why did Letterman go after Palin? Why are the leftists continuing to go after Palin? Is Palin the conservative answer for the next couple election cycles? First off: Letterman went after Palin simply for ratings; most likely to create a media splash to counter Conan O’Brien replacing Jay Leno. The second question is more interesting, and subject to vigorous debate among conservatives<http://www.jiglu.com/tags/conservative>throughout the week. Limbaugh read from an American Thinker article last Monday that suggested the reason for the unending attacks on Palin from the left is because they are afraid of her. The writer notes that on the left, the best and the brightest go into politics. It is what they do, what they live for, and what they are good at. And when their best and brightest continue jihad against a defeated VP candidate that ought to tell us how they perceive her threat to their continued infestation of elective office in the future. The final question is yet to be answered, as we will need to see what Palin does over the course of the next couple of years. We know she is charismatic, can draw tens of thousands of people at the drop of a hat, and that the Republican establishment – particularly the old school beltway types – don’t like her a lot. We also know that she is not well disciplined and does not yet run a tight ship. She, like most of us, has some work to do should she decide to enter national politics again. ------------------------------ 3. Durbin. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D, IL) appears to have engaged in some insider trading to protect his investments last September. He walked out of a meeting with Treasury officials and sold $116,000 worth of stock. He rolled the money into Berkshire Hathaway stock. In essence, he dodged the worst effects of the stock market crash last September by rolling his investments from whatever they were in, into a safer investment with Berkshire Hathaway. Note that Martha Stewart went to jail for engaging in insider trading, making stock trades based on information not known by the general public. Culture of corruption anyone? Hot Air, Sun. ------------------------------ 4. Iran. Iran may be on the verge of revolution, as the ruling Mullahs inexplicably decided to commit obvious massive election fraud to get their boy Ahmadinejad reelected president. Late last week, the Mullahs threw down the gauntlet to protesters, telling them in essence to sit down and shut up. Information flow out of Iran has been significantly cut off, with Twitter being the best source of information for outsiders and communication with insiders. Foreign journalists have all been taken into custody. There was a reported suicide bomber at Khomeini’s tomb. As of the weekend, it appears that the people of Iran have had enough of 30 years of the Islamic Republic and are going for the gold, staging a revolution. The instruments of terror that the Mullahs have used in the past to retain control appear to be at risk, with the military, the secret police, and others not as vigorously enforcing order as they have in the past. This has led some observers to the conclusion that all is not well on the street, and that the Mullahs may be losing control. There are also reports that the Mullahs have started bringing in Hezbollah and Hamas killers that will do what they are told to do. On our part, President Teleprompter has adamantly refused to stand up for the freedom fighters, not unlike the pass that Bush 41 took on Tiananmen Square in China <http://www.jiglu.com/tags/china> 20 years ago. ------------------------------ 5. Climate Report. NOAA and OSTP released their report on manmade global warming and climate change last week. The report is intended to provide the scientific foundation for Waxman’s cap and trade legislation. AJ Strata in the Strata Sphere <http://www.jiglu.com/tags/strata-sphere> noted that the Executive Summary made two conclusions that are demonstrably false. Here are the paragraphs: Observations show that warming of the climate is unequivocal. *The global warming observed over the past 50 years is due primarily to human-induced emissions of heat-trapping gases*.These emissions come mainly from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), with important contributions from the clearing of forests, agricultural practices, and other activities. Warming over this century is projected to be considerably greater than over the last century. *The global average temperature since 1900 has risen by about 1.5ºF*. Yet the temperature graphs included in the report do not show averages. They show maximums and minimums. Since 1880 (Krakatau erupted in 1883, by the way), there were two global minima temperatures. The worst was in 1910 at about -0.3 degrees C. The highest global maximum on the chart was +0.51 degrees C, for an average temperature increase over the period of +0.35 degrees C. Note also that the Twentieth Century was the first full century out of the Little Ice Age, though it was marked by three or four years of solar minima in the 1910s. Over that time, global temperature increases have averaged about a half a degree C. Over that period of time, the amount of manmade carbon dioxide into the atmosphere has changed significantly over time, yet the temperature increases and decreases have not reflected those carbon dioxide level changes <http://www.jiglu.com/tags/carbon-dioxide>. Also remember that the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere decoupled from temperature in 1998 or so, when global temperatures leveled off for a few years, after which they started dropping. If we are the cause of all this, why are global temperatures going down? Why is it snowing in the Dakotas in June? Additionally, the selection of 1880 as the start point for their proof shows yet another game played by the NOAA global baloney climatologists – the technique of carefully selecting start and end points for your data, so that you can demonstrate the worst possible change in temperature so you can blame it on mankind and SUVs. ------------------------------ 6. Cheerios. The FDA <http://www.jiglu.com/tags/fda> has declared war on Cheerios, informing General Mills that the recent ad campaign that claims that Cheerios will help cut your cholesterol coverts it from a breakfast food into a drug, which they can then regulate. Nothing like more Hope and Change. And we pay these bozos’ salaries. Hot Air, Sat. More later - - AG "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.
