On another note, about MMGW, there it is. I’m surprised the BBC played a role in “outing” the lie, but it did.

While Greenpeace et al may like to think and believe their ultimate goal is as altuistic as “saving mankind from itself,” their real program is to bring down capitalism and capital growth, and to rule the world in such a way that population growth is controlled and/or negative.

But don’t worry. They mean well so it’s all OK.

Which brings up the other question. It is noted in the article that the earth has survived and thrived with much worse warming periods. How did they “correct” those warming periods without man there to cause them or correct them?

Does anyone remember three years ago when all we heard about was how bad the economy was doing (although all indicators were that it was steaming hot)? The negative attention finally brought it down, and harder than it ever would have had they not pushed it there.

Why, then, pray tell, is the media all over what are true negative indicators, telling us we have just about to bottom out and everything will once again be as glorious as it was under the last donkey administration (not Bush’s, but the jackass Clinton’s)?

In every way, for the media up is down, black is white, slow is fast and Republicans are evil.

Former Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge is hawking a book claiming that he was pressured into elevating the terror alert status just before the 2004 elections.

But in an interview with KDKA-TV’s Ken Rice in June of 2008 Ridge said exactly the opposite:

Rice: “Was there ever pressure to raise the alert level for some reason that had nothing to do with the actual threats out there?”

Ridge: “Never.”

Rice: “Never even a hint of that?”

Ridge: “Never. It’s a great question though.”

Moderate Republicans like Ridge would run over their own grandmothers if they thought they could turn a buck from it.

Ridge’s lie is not only sleazy, but it is stupid. Does he really think that anyone is interested in buying another trash-for-cash book put out to bash Bush?

No more than some “Republicans” will put out “trash for cash” books trashing Sarah, MD. They know that, even though the press hates “Republicans”, TABC (two-active-brain-cell) libs will eat the stuff up. Hence, their sales will soar to 2 or 3 hundred nationally and get a spot on the NYT’s list of books that “should be hot”.

Personally, I doubt I’ll waste my time reading clips from Ridge’s tome on the net, let alone wasting my money buying it from the discount bin in two months.

When it comes to pukes like Ridge, I will just have to paraphrase our former VP that wasn’t suppose to live thru his 8 years in office. “I didn’t know that Tom Ridge was still in the Republican party” Kick them out of the party, they want to go anyway. If they think that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, I say help them out. These lowlifes just grow tiresome, between Powell and Ridge I say let them go, and anyone else who wants to continue to slam Bush or Palin for that matter. – Lorica
