They'll whine and make little "statements," but in the end all the Obama appointments will be approved. I almost upchucked hearing RINO Sen Warner's hagiographic speech welcoming Eric Holder to the hearing this morning.<BR/> It won't be long before Obama will have the chance to get some Leftos in the supreme court and, again, the GOP won't oppose any of them.<BR/>Tarheel HawkeyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-21573378870999813632009-01-15T07:45:00.000-05:002009-01-15T07:45:00.000-05:00JinC-On a different note, what do you make of the ...JinC-<BR/><BR/>On a different note, what do you make of the comments by Obama ("an innocent mistake")and Reid ("a mere hiccup")regarding Treasury Secretary nominee Timothy Geithner's failure to pay some of his income tax over a period of years? When my husband gradually went from working for a corporation to full time work as an independent journalist (there were several years where he had a foot in both camps) our accountant was very clear about what our tax liability was (perhaps Geithner needs his name?)and we paid it (and a hefty liability it was in deed). Just as Kimba Woods and Zoe Baird were done in by their nanny situations because their job as attorny general would be to insure the prosecution of those who fail to follow the nation's laws, so too should Geithner's failure to pay his taxes (or his ignorance that said taxes were due - take your pick of an excuse) disqualify him from the Treasury post since part of his responsibilities involve overseeing the IRS.<BR/>cksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-57304592486318484782009-01-14T22:39:00.000-05:002009-01-14T22:39:00.000-05:00Anon @ 9:36,Thanks for a civil comment.That said, ...Anon @ 9:36,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a civil comment.<BR/><BR/>That said, I strongly disagree with you.<BR/><BR/>Other commenters down the thread have very ably responded to what you say.<BR/><BR/>I'll only add this: When you hear the Goreists talk about "settled science" and seek to silence those who disagree with them thereby, do you ever think of the odious phrase "Jewish science?"<BR/><BR/>Remember who used it and how?<BR/><BR/>There's no more reason to embrace Goreist "settled science" than there was to dismiss "Jewish science" in the 1920s or dismiss then Harvard President Larry Summers a few years ago.<BR/><BR/>Please think about that.<BR/><BR/>TH,<BR/><BR/>Bang on. <BR/><BR/>I should say more but I've been traveling all day and the hour is late.<BR/><BR/>Steve,<BR/><BR/>You'll understand this - - - <BR/><BR/>Given how McCain once served our country I know I'm safe in saying we both agree with your comment but wish it was wrong.<BR/><BR/>Ken,<BR/><BR/>You say, "In any case I guess I am at a loss to see what gassing motorists in garages has to do with climate change."<BR/><BR/>I agree.<BR/><BR/>But, as propagated by the Dixie Chicks, RFK Jr., and the BBC, everything we do contributes to "climate change." <BR/><BR/>Or at least everything except flying in private jets and owning multiple homes of 10K+ sq. ft. or more; things the "greenies" don't mention much.<BR/><BR/>At least I don't hear those things mentioned very much by NPR or the other liberal/leftist news orgs.<BR/><BR/>Anon @ 9:36 started a fine thread.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to all of you.<BR/><BR/>JohnJWMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275423713054782480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-71154363737449751892009-01-14T17:51:00.000-05:002009-01-14T17:51:00.000-05:00Anonymous 9:36AM:"If you crank up your car and clo...Anonymous 9:36AM:<BR/><BR/>"If you crank up your car and close the garage, the fumes will kill you."<BR/><BR/>More specifically, I believe it's the carbon monoxide component that should kill you first.

Gee, I must have missed that.<BR/>The point here is that climate change is cyclical and is not anthropogenic (look it up). <BR/>As for your analogy of cranking your car up and closing the garage, carbon monoxide is just as dangerous as water under the right circumstances; should we limit access to water?<BR/>Our dismissal of the global warming crowd is anything but flippant; they are muddled thinkers and panic-mongers. If they have their way, they would have us back in caves. They want a solution where there is none possible (unless they can alter sun spots).<BR/>Tarheel HawkeyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13073631.post-69581497733542530792009-01-14T09:36:00.000-05:002009-01-14T09:36:00.000-05:00You say: Yes, weather.

There were floods, droughts, etc.; but no SUV’s or coal-fired plants.<BR/><BR/>And no Al Gore or “settled science,” either.<BR/><BR/>Be careful about bringing the Bible into this. Noah warned people for years about the great flood and most did not listen. They told him he was crazy. I'm not comparing Al Gore to Noah. But I'm cautioning your flip dismissal of those who talk about climate change.<BR/><BR/>If you crank up your car and close the garage, the fumes will kill you. Now, multiply that effect across the millions of cars burning fossil fuels and pumping exhaust into the atmosphere. How can it possibly be good for the environment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
