   Gerd Leipold, the retiring leader of Greenpeace, said the claim was wrong.

   Double standards, hidden agendas, flat out lies… all calling cards of the socialist left.

   That was a great appearance on Hannity too. Well done!

   I think it is time for the taxpayers, the producers, to get the attention of the Fed and the welfare legions, the burdens.
   Is there a way to pay your income taxes to your state, having them hold it in escrow until we stop this nonsense of bleeding the useful to give to the useless?

   Leipold’s admission that Greenpeace issued misleading information is a major embarrassment to the organization, which often has been accused of alarmism but has always insisted that it applies full scientific rigor in its global-warming pronouncements.

   Although he admitted Greenpeace had released inaccurate but alarming information, Leipold defended the organization’s practice of “emotionalizing issues” in order to bring the public around to its way of thinking and alter public opinion.

   Typical headlined story. The original headlines are remembered but the followup is never seen … except here at MM.

   Greenpeace and the other global warming enthusiasts are afflicted with scientific rigor mortis.

   Dr. Evil: The details of my life are quite inconsequential… very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum… it’s breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

   Dr. Evil: S@#t. Oh hell, let’s just do what we always do. Hijack some nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage. Yeah? Good! Gentlemen, it has come to my attention that a breakaway Russian Republic called Kreplachistan will be transferring a nuclear warhead to the United Nations in a few days. Here’s the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for… ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
   Number Two: Don’t you think we should ask for *more* than a million dollars? A million dollars isn’t exactly a lot of money these days. Virtucon alone makes over 9 billion dollars a year!
   Dr. Evil: Really? That’s a lot of money.
   [pause]
   Dr. Evil: Okay then, we hold the world ransom for…
   Dr. Evil: One… Hundred… BILLION DOLLARS!

    Sarah Palin: YOUR TAX DOLLARS HARD AT WORK: FIRST CARS, NOW FOREIGN OIL.

    Today’s Wall Street Journal contains some puzzling news for all Americans who are impacted by high energy prices and who share the goal of moving us toward energy independence.

    For years, states rich with an abundance of oil and natural gas have been begging Washington, DC politicians for the right to develop their own natural resources on federal lands and off shore. Such development would mean good paying jobs here in the United States (with health benefits) and the resulting royalties and taxes would provide money for federal coffers that would potentially off-set the need for higher income taxes, reduce the federal debt and deficits, or even help fund a trillion dollar health care plan if one were so inclined to support such a plan.

    So why is it that during these tough times, when we have great needs at home, the Obama White House is prepared to send more than two billion of your hard-earned tax dollars to Brazil so that the nation’s state-owned oil company, Petrobras, can drill off shore and create jobs developing its own resources? That’s all Americans want; but such rational energy development has been continually thwarted by rabid environmentalists, faceless bureaucrats and a seemingly endless parade of lawsuits aimed at shutting down new energy projects.

    I am getting anxious for Sarah Palin to start doing this in front of ten thousand people at a time.

    Faster, please!

    Is it a coincidence that Obama backer George Soros repositioned himself in Petrobras to get dividends just a few days before Obama committed $2 billion in loans and guarantees for Petrobras’ offshore operations? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

    Sounds a bit like insider trading to me.

    Obama has shown that he wanted a job that he just wasn’t qualified to do. The man has very little idea on how to be a President and properly govern a nation. Over the past few months, he has certainly shown that…no leadership. He moved into the White House, with grandiose ideas on what he thought should be the rule, and, instead, has stumbled and outright abused the office. The man is way over his head. Unfortunately, if he is gone, the country gets stuck with Mr. Dementia…Biden. If that doesn’t work, then Pelosi, who, in her mind, is one of the few Americans left in this country. Lord help us if we have a real crisis come up. All we’ll see of Obama is him going “uh…uh” in front of a teleprompter.

    Well, when you’re throwing away millions on any leftist group with their hands out, one must replenish the coffers somehow.

    Better to do so with some safe insider information than to risk it like old-fashioned capitalism.

    We didn’t elect Obama, ACORN did…I firmly believe the ballot box was stuffed personally.

    Also, since Huff-Po can get access to an Obama briefing, we need to get Michelle in to ask a few questions! I’d be willing to bet the most used word in Mr Obama’s reply will be “uh….”

    By the way you did an incredible job on Hannity tonight too, Michelle!

    This is what its like watching a lottery winner who has no clue about how to handle his new found wealth, or a child who somehow got a hold of a package of Oreo cookies and doesn’t know how to stop himself from pilfering the treasure.

    “You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker”, is becoming less and less relevant as time passes. Even they didn’t know what this guy was about.

    The thief in the Whitehouse, his puppet master, and all his cronies are pilfering handfuls, billions at a time, out of the treasure chest of America, or if its not there just print it up, and stuffing their squirrely pockets, running off to foreign governments and burying it for future payback for when they get run out of office.

    Typical African dictatorial leadership qualities.

    Drill There, Drill Now?

    Last week we highlighted a disturbing story about how Cuba is going to allow the Russians to drill in the Gulf of Mexico, potentially as close as 45 miles from the American shoreline.

    We pointed out how it makes no sense for the Cubans to allow drilling so close to our shores while our own government has needlessly delayed the process for American oil and gas exploration.

    But in today’s Wall Street Journal, the narrative of our current irrational energy policy got worse: America will be financing offshore oil and gas exploration… in Brazil.

    And Soros profits from it…

    THIS IS EVIL!!!

    I often wonder what runs through Soro’s mind? does he have a goal of the destruction of the US? Does he do what he does because he thinks doing so will relieve him of guilt and keep him out of hell? Does he really believe in progressive goals with the usual elitist leftist attitude that come the revolution he will be one of the ones at the top of the heap? Or is he just totally evil (Seems to easy an answer). I’d really like to know what motivates this assclown. I would REALLY love to read a complete pysch eval on him.

    Did work for petrobras after they sunk FPSO 34 and they locked down 16 men in a ballast tank and put N2 on them to help ballast out the FPSO. It sunk anyway. 1-8″ K valve was the root cause.
    Now that I know when I worked on FPSO 50 that soro’s is involved feel dirty dirty dirty.I cannot Believe that odumbo would do this after hanging out the petroleum industry. This along with axelrod’s pharma connections will ingnite a firestorm. Screw them. Just like in the 70′s and 80′s the petro industry will take care of itself. Screw them…..

    the american public may not know what’s in the cap and tax bill or the healthdebacle bill, but they damn sure know hypocrisy and bribery when they see it. soros invests a fortune and a few days later his pal in the white house makes a 2 billion dollar donation of america’s money into that same program. this is why americans are angry. you don’t have to be a harvard grad to know that if our politburo won’t be involved in our health plan, it’s because it sucks. just as social security sucks, which is why the politburo isn’t involved in it, just as medicare sucks which again is why the politburo isn’t involved. does anyone guess that the federal retired congresscritter healthcare program have a donut hole? our government went up for sale sometime in the past, and now it is nothing more than the italian or russian government where money buys everything, and the mafia keeps the rabble from getting too uppity.

    Actually aj – I think the mistake was made at the time of constitution – they discussed but did not implement that only landowners could vote. (Landowners having a vested interest in success but present and future – where non-landowners would only be concerned with how much they could take.)
