From the mind of Christian Toto

R.I.P., Mr. Newman. We all know you were in the best of the Cars franchise (and you probably ran great on regular gas, too).

In case you missed our good friend Christian Toto’s recent story on Pixar grand poobah John Lasseter’s rationale behind making “big oil” the villain in Cars 2 , you’re forgiven [...]

Screw This

…says Texas to the Federal Government and its upcoming ban of incandescent (“incandescent” is Latin for “bulb that actually work”) light bulbs. From Physorg.com quoting from The Fort Worth Star-Telegram

State lawmakers have passed a bill that allows Texans to skirt federal efforts to promote more efficient light bulbs, which ultimately pushes the [...]

“I say we let him go …”

Hopefully they haven’t already captured our Richard Trzupek to begin his tattooing process. To Mr. Glover, please just stop with that “on second thoughts.” If you really want to beat your head against the wall (or forgot just how intolerant the “tolerant” left really are), be sure to check out the whole column.

Surely it’s [...]

Whatever Happened To…?

I was just listening to this week’s Ricochet podcast, which featured Peter Robinson, James Lileks, Rob Long, Byron York and Andrew Breitbart–you really should be listening–and whose book were they plugging?

Our old friend, Rich Trzupek’s!  It’s in the Encounter Books’ Broadsides series, and isn’t the same as the one we’ve been advertising at the [...]

Up From the Ground Came A-Bubblin’ Ruse

The Washington Examiner’s Beltway Confidential is skeptical of Obama’s latest noise about allowing drilling for oil.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2011/05/obama-s-latest-fake-plan-more-drilling

While I appreciate the temporary dip in gas prices from this latest crude lie, the price will only spike even higher as supplies become shakier and worldwide demand continues its upward trend.

No one has lied this [...]

California Democrats — Full Retard

There is no other reasonable conclusion to this story from the Wall Street Journal‘s John Fund about California politicians going to Texas to find out why companies left California for Texas.

Andy Puzder, the CEO of Hardee’s Restaurants, was one of many witnesses to bemoan California’s hostile regulatory climate. He said it takes six months [...]

Oh. My. Gaia.

OK.  Environmental whackos and their Leftist enablers have officially crossed the Rubicon of sanity.

Newt’s Sordid Past

Newt Gingrich was on Fox News Sunday this morning answering charges of hypocrisy in his impeachment of Clinton while he was cheating on his own wife.

Now this is a serious problem for him in his attempt to secure the Republican presidential nomination, but I’d say this will be at least as damaging to him [...]

E-Hour

One of the Turbos feeding our annual Earth Hour bonfire.

I’m also about to figure out how to run both furnaces and both A/C’s simultaneously and of course every light in the house is going to be on and the flat screen. Enjoy!

A Nice Harangue

I’m still deciding how much I like Rand Paul (he’s better than any Democrat)… be that as it may… here — he speaks the language of the average person. That he will have trouble doing anything about it speaks to how bureaucracy trumps constitutional republican balance. The more I hear him speak on free [...]

Look Up John FN!

And you might see President Obama’s personal trainer flying to and from Washington from Chicago every week. From The Washington Examiner:

Even if Obama were to put his money where his mouth is and purchase offsets for McClellan’s Chicago-to-D.C. commute, the message is pretty clear: If you’re an average federal employee or your everyday taxpayer, [...]

Weather ’tis Nobler

The makers of Chiffon Margarine were on to something in their commercials. It’s not so much that trying to fool Mother Nature will bring the pain… it’s just an earth — not a being with feelings, etc. We’re not the first generation to think we can control nature and bring her to heel. The [...]

This week, the EPA issued its first exemption, Environment & Energy News reports:

The Obama administration will spare a stalled power plant project in California from the newest federal limits on greenhouse gases and conventional air pollution, U.S. EPA says in a new court [...]

It looks like the eggheads who wish to rule the world aren’t after health care rationing. The Council of Cancun is meeting to finalize the canon of climate-change gospel and this is one of the proposals:
