Climate Gate - Full article

The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka CRU) and released 61 megabytes of confidential files onto the internet.

It'll be interesting to see what develops, but you won't hear about it from ABC, NBC, or CBS any time soon. But an investigation is pending, nonetheless.

Because our leaders in the White House don't have anything better to do. You know... like running the country into the ground?

White House effectively declares War on a cable news network for having opposing viewpoints.

I can think of a few other world leaders that would approve of this sort of tactic. Oh, wait. Haha, silly me. Anita Dunn could, too!

Just sayin'.

My folks are going through expenses and doing number crunching right now.

HUD basically says that they can't do FHA loans, which is half their business if not more. The reasoning: They don't make enough money, so therefore they must be scammers.
I would like you to think that over a moment.
They make less. LESS. than $250,000 a year, so therefore they're possible scammers.

IN WHAT UNIVERSE DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

I interpret it this way: You make less than $250,000 a year. If you are a scammer, you're not a very good one, and therefore when we become the only source of loans, you won't be very useful to us.
Note: FHA got a bailout because they failed at running their business, yet my folks are being held accountable and if they screw up, TOO BAD SO SAD. NO $$ FOR YOU.

ANYWAY. They'll be closing their shop next year and they're trying to figure out what expenses we have and will need to cover and how best to go about that.
With no formal education. :D Yay.

Heading home from my sister's today. Yes, I have a sister. :b Only half of one, but still. Anyway, we watched the DC rally yesterday. Official estimates range anywhere from 60,000 to 2 million, depending on who you ask. ;D Oh, and the DC police suggested 1.2 million, despite the street and traffic cams being turned off. There were about 1,000 at the Temecula rally that my dad went to. My niece is sick or we would have gone to the rally in Phoenix. Maybe. I mean, it was only 106 F there XP

Re: the class, my Speech teach told us to e-mail him Thursday night about our wait list status. I either e-mailed him Thursday night or Friday mor.... Friday afternoon. *nods* I did it after we arrived at my sister's. About 8 pm he got back to me about my status, telling me that I was in. I didn't get that e-mail until Saturday morning, however, and by then apparently the registration had closed. I told him my situation and he just told me that tomorrow he'd talk to the Dean about an appeal. T^T Why I care so much is that I have this semester's classes and then one last class before I can leave. He told me that they're not offering this class in the Winter, and I need this class to transfer in the Spring. (As Mom pointed out, how many people beg to get into a Speech class? XP) Cross your fingers!!

My sister bleached my roots yesterday but we didn't do the dying, so I have orange bangs with blonde roots, and chocolate hair with copper roots. It's quite interesting. :D

Probably going to buy a Neo Genesis 27 copy when I get back, from a girl in the UK. >> Seeing hers up for sale made me realize how much I liked that MUCC photoshoot. Siiigh, Satochi and Miya in tight pants... There's one up for grabs on eBay for $35; hers I can get for $25 and it's in good condition. :D Anyway...

I need to get dressed and pack up to leave now. See you in 8 hours? D: @_@

I have a little tiny article that I want you to read. I do mean tiny.

FCC’s New 'Diversity Officer' Wants to Force Private Broadcasters to Fund Public Broadcasters Dollar for Dollar.

The "Chief Diversity Officer" in question, Mark Lloyd, is calling for the gross operating budget for every private radio station each year to be the fee (tax) they pay for their broadcast license for the year, with the monies going to the always liberal public stations. With whom they then must compete for listeners.

What that translates to, for those that have never run a business, is, whatever costs it takes for you to run your business (pay checks, bills, insurances) each year, you now have to pay as an annual license fee, which then gets pushed to the pubic stations. AKA, your competition.

So, say I have a radio station. I pay each of my hosts $1000 a year. I have 5 hosts, that's $5000 a year. I pay their insurance. That's another $5000 a year. I have bills to pay, such as electricity and water. That's another $5000 a year. So, I have an annual expense of $15000, just to run my business. Well, I now have to pay DOUBLE that, because my license fee is also $15000, and that second $15000 is going to my competitor.

I ask you: How does one RUN a business with this kind of BS going on?

Answer: One doesn't.

And that's the point.

Lloyd's instructions to Leftist activists are clear: use the FCC to pummel conservative talk radio. With fines, or entirely out of existence.

I know, I know. Evil conservatives. They need to just get out of the way, anyway.

Let me remind you of a little document, you might have heard about it: THE BILL OF RIGHTS, and in it our First Amendment, the RIGHT to free speech, free press, free religion, and last but not least, freedom of dissent, which Hilary Clinton herself pointed out is something that is very American, and is not to be snuffed out.

But who is John Galt?

I listened to this letter be read on TV tonight, and it moved me to get off my butt, get back onto my butt, and blog about it, as few things ever have. I can't legally repost it here, but the bottom line is this: If you're an American, read it if you want to. If you agree with it, sign the petition after it. If you believe in it, repost this. If you're not an American, read it if you want to. If you agree with it, sign the petition after it. If you believe in it, repost this. Show your support if you have it.

You're not alone.

The Petition

PS As of right now, the amount of support for Janet's words have overwhelmed the servers; please try again later. I have yet to sign the petition myself. ^^;;

It took this for you to be able to say that you're "finally proud to be an American"?

I'm not entirely sure I'm proud to know you anymore.

Wow.

Just... Wow.

You Are a Capitalist Republican

Money makes your world go round - and it's no surprise that you always vote your wallet. You're financially successful (or plan to be), and your agenda is low tax and pro business. You don't get fired up about abortion... but mention capital gains tax, and you go crazy. You want government to be as small as possible - and to stay out of the way of business.

I could have been a Libertarian... but this is more accurate. *nods* Granted, the two have their similarities.
