  • After the Democrats have calmed down about the sell-out, deals and travesties which have produced the misshapen health care reform bill, they will realize the real problem is that there are many too many obstructionist Republicans left in Congress.

    Hopefully they will work all the harder to remove them.

    As for the President’s actions in Afghanistan, he said very clearly what he was going to do during the 2008 campaign. it’s not a surprise to anyone.

  • Have Benedict Brogan and Alex Singleton been seeing a bit too much of each other? I think we should be told.

  • I think the Earth needs all the heat it can get without lunatics pumping out sulphur (or even sulfur) to block it.

    And, yes, Mr Gnyc is partly right for once: the obaminable one has planned all along to escalate the Afghanistan conflict. Wasn’t that why he got the Nobel prize?

  • John Hutton admits on BBC radio that he did say Brown would be a “f***ing disater”. At least he was right about that one thing – pity about the rest.

  • I see the blog gremlins are back…

    Stevie-boy – your desperate defence of the indefensible is becoming just a bit sad, Lookit here, boy…
    “(Obarma’s) former admirers on the left are discovering something that the right has known for a while now: Obama will look you in the eye and lie.
    We had one like him – now universally known as T BLiar, the Great Charlatan. The bad news for you is that your man is worse, far worse. He is a racist with a racist wife, more African than American, and no competence whatever, apart from reading autocues.
    As the Marines traditionally call out to new ‘boots’ – ‘you’ll be sorrreeeee..!

  • “When finding themselves on the opposing side of the president’s policy, his former admirers on the left are discovering something that the right has known for a while now: Obama will look you in the eye and lie.”

    When Stevie G finally comes to terms with Obama’s true nature, it’s going to be uglier than Elin & Tiger.

    “You Lie!” might be the quote that sums up this Presidency.

  • A better way to solve climate change, attached a NUKE to a polar bear/penguin or both at the next UN climate change summit.

    After that, it’s gone, no more news, nothing. I can then get on with worrying about worsening winters.

  • I was just talking to a friend in Mexico, on the Pacific Coast close to Puerta Vallarta. He complained about the cold. Usually that means about 24C or 76F but no, I was shocked to hear it was 50F. In all the years I have visited it has NEVER been that low.
    Yesterday it was 46F in las Vegas
    and about the same in N.Orleans.
    Now, if all those twerps at the UN could just sit up and take notice???? Then we won’t need your solution ‘blags’ At least it will save the bear or penguin.

  • There was a documentary about four years or so ago, which discussed a theory that the warm water travelling from the Caribbean up the Atlantic before dropping down around Greenland when it hits the cold before returning to the Caribbean.

    One of the theories being put out on this was that as the ice melted it would reduce salinity and with a warmer temperature in the north, the conveyor motion of the hot and cold water would switch-off; returning northern Europe to an ice-age.

    Given the past few weeks … hot air in Copenhagen and cold air throughout Europe … so much for the warming theory.
