This is becoming a weekly feature. How long are Americans going to tolerate the determined disregard of the Obama administration’s job-killing, rule-of-law-defying environmental corruptocrats? A little more than a week ago, I blasted the Interior Department’s culture of contempt for the umpteenth time. Let’s review one more time before we get to the latest spanking: [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Al Gore blamed the nasty late-January/early February winter weather on global warming, in spite of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Environmental Protection Agency predicting warmer winters with less snow. With an additional inconvenient truth for the Goracle, Anne Jolis writes in the Wall Street Journal about the Twentieth [...]

Here’s a perfect companion article to my lead story on Team Obama’s eco-radical culture of contempt. There’s red tape…and then there’s green tape: Shell Alaska has dropped plans to drill in the Arctic waters of the Beaufort Sea this year and will concentrate on obtaining permits for the 2012 season, company Vice President Pete Slaiby [...]

Eco-radical Carol Browner may no longer be on the Team Obama bus, but her departure has done little to change the culture of corruption — and contempt — at 1600 Pennsylvania. As I reported yesterday, federal judge Martin Feldman kicked the administration’s ass yet again over its rogue drilling moratorium. My column today zeroes in [...]

I’ll have much more in my syndicated column tomorrow on federal judge Martin Feldman’s new ruling on the Obama Interior Department’s “determined disregard” for the rule of law. For now, I’ve obtained and am embedding here the full decision issued yesterday. Read, share, use: Judge spanks Obama Interior Department – again *** News coverage of [...]

**Written by Doug Powers There are always so many to choose from, but this week’s distinction goes to the oil tax promoting actor Robert Redford. Video by way of Breitbart: Congrats on winning this week’s Golden Goracle, Mr. Redford! **Written by Doug Powers Twitter @ThePowersThatBe

Grim reaper photoshop credit: Manly Rash President Obama used the word “jobs” 31 times in his State of the Union Address. Did you add “-killing” under your breath every time he read the word on his teleprompter? Me, too. While Obama was out on the trail filming 2012 campaign ads on the taxpayer’s dime, workers [...]

The Obama Culture of Corruption won’t be the same without her. But the question is: While lying, eco-radical czar Carol Browner may be stepping down (Politico has the scoop), does it really mean she’s stepping out of the inner circle? Word has it she may have lost out to health care czar Nancy DeParle for [...]

The myth that “green jobs” are a boon to the economy keeps getting pierced by failed green jobs boondoggle after failed green jobs boondoggle. As I noted in April 2009, the truth about green jobs has been told all over the world. Case in point: Spain. Every “green job” created with government money in Spain [...]

Grim reaper photoshop credit: Manly Rash You already knew that the election-season “lifting” of President Obama’s deepwater drilling moratorium was a sham announcement. Loathsome cowboy Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and radical eco-czar Carol Browner have lied through their teeth from day one about the rationale and impact of their job-killing policies not only on deepwater [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Today, New York City Mayor Bloomberg delivered a message in Spanish concerning the blizzard that has crippled much of the eastern US. Click the pic to hear the announcement: If you don’t speak Spanish, here’s a translation of the Mayor’s update: ***** My fellow Spanish-speaking New Yorkers. You may have noticed [...]

The science is settled: That stuff won’t fit in there

**Written by Doug Powers New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez is still a true believer. This letter appeared in the Huffington Post: Dear Santa Claus, I am writing out of concern, because you may have to move from the North Pole due to the dramatic melting of Arctic sea ice. The Navy’s chief oceanographer says that [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Admittedly, it would be a perfect fit: Who’s more qualified to peddle the most expensive myth in history than a guy who made a fortune in fiction? Is Arnold Schwarzenegger angling for a job in the Obama administration? In an interview with editors at the Los Angeles Times, the outgoing California [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Early this morning, there was a lunar eclipse. Did you see it? My eyes were eclipsed by my eyelids so I missed it. The event reminded me of another lunar eclipse that occurred in February of 2008 — a cycle known as “the eclipse that saved Columbus.” The story begins more [...]

Yesterday, Senate Democrats dropped their 1,924-page omnibus spending bomb on Capitol Hill. My column today reports on the other omnibus bomb up their sleeves — a massive omnibus land grab that Dingy Harry Reid vowed yesterday to bring up before the stretched-out lame-duck session ends. It’s green pork galore: “Reid’s staff sees a natural resources [...]

Carhartt, the cold-weather outfitter of choice for the discerning Gorebot who knows that freezing to death at a global warming summit gives the deniers the upper hand ********** One thing’s for certain: Ixchtel, the Mayan Moon Goddess to which the [...]

Worth in the Balance

Next prayer’s to you, Al. I promise

**Written by Doug Powers For the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancun, which began today, representatives from somewhere in the neighborhood of 194 countries flew to Mexico from all around the world. Why? Well, partly to tell the rest of us we need to chill out on the long-haul flights: In one paper Professor [...]

Back in April 2009, we took note of how the green jobs boondoggle turned out in Spain. In two words: Epic fail. No matter. The Obama White House shoveled more and more enviro-slush fund money into the green jobs/union jobs black hole. Now, the Washington Post reports that retrained workers who followed the green jobs’ [...]

Map via Frank Jacobs, Strange Maps blog/Big Think The TSA isn’t the only one with grabby hands. I’ve been reporting on the stealth Obama land and ocean grabs for the past several months now — and there is another new, under-the-radar-screen development that deserves your attention. Quick review: In August, I told you about the [...]

He’s got hang-ups. My column today shines light on the autocratic agenda of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. Readers of Culture of Corruption already know all about this Chicago crony porker’s ties to Rahm Emanuel, Richard Daley, Rod Blagojevich, and Tony Rezko. For a trenchant look at LaHood’s penchant for government coercion and central planning, see [...]

Scroll for updates… The deepwater drilling moratorium may have been “lifted” in an election-season feint, but the eco-radicals have already accomplished their mission: Zero drilling permits issued. Today’s column spotlights the ideological engine behind the Obama job-killing machine: Carol “The Green Menace” Browner. Update: The Senate Republicans on the Committee on Environment and Public Works [...]

I’ve been covering Loathsome Cowboy/job-killer Ken Salazar’s ongoing corruption of science and environmental policy at the Interior Department for you extensively here. He has largely escaped mainstream scrutiny. But with a new House GOP majority and independent watch dogs on his tail, he may finally get the lasting ass-kicking he deserves. As you’ll recall, Salazar [...]

Over the past month, I’ve noted how short-sighted enviro-zealots helped create the conditions for the current rare earth metal crisis (see here and here). The NYTimes reports on the latest developments as China purportedly tightens the noose: China, which has been blocking shipments of crucial minerals to Japan for the last month, has now quietly [...]

My column today is a rejoinder to Maureen Dowd’s plaintive wail about Republican Mean Girls in the NY Times on Sunday. I’ll take a GOP mama grizzly who wants government to leave you alone over a Democrat bully bureaucrat any day. As yesterday’s failed attacks on Sarah Palin, Christine O’Donnell, and Sharron Angle showed, the [...]

**Written by Doug Powers New from “Gorebot Wearhouse” — the moonbat outfitters who brought you “Endangered Garanimals” as well as “Brazilian Magnum,” the hemp-flannel body condom specially designed for making sweet hippie love to unwitting rainforests, comes another perverse encroachment upon Mother Nature’s civil liberties: the Glacier Embracing Suit: This suit explores the avenue of [...]
