This is a live performance from Tuscon, AZ. There is no studio-recorded version of this song yet. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg3xH6YsVJU[/youtube] lovely people, lovely places, i can’t remember names and i can’t remember faces; someone next door’s f***ing to one of my songs.
Deep Culture Thought
I can’t wait to see the new Star Trek Movie. I hear it taps into the upbeat and optimistic mood of the country brought about by the election of Barack Obama in the same way the last movie sucked ass as a metaphor for how much Bush sucked.
How To Spot Climate Change Deniers
I love this blog post from the Guardian. It is a compilation of the yeoman’s work done over at the Denialism blog (and every bit of it is true) detailing how climate change deniers operate. As the author notes here, the markings of the climate change denialist, actually extend to any Grand Conspiracy Theorist — […]
Saturday’s Open Thread
Pentagon agency warned against torture back in 2002. (WaPo) Sec. Clinton to Iraq. (LA Times) When 100 Days Feels Like 1000 Days (NY Times) Hube is still obsessing about a movie review. If you have anything else on your mind, bring it.
Newt Gingrich — New King of the Climate Change Deniers
After Al Gore and Senator Warner gave their testimony, Newt Gingrich provided testimony on climate change for the wingnuts. Meaning that he was there to cheer on the polluters, continue the denial stance of the GOP and to roll out some new framing of the issue. I haven’t found any video of Gingrich’s opening remarks […]

Warner’s take on addressing climate change as a question of national security is interesting and worth thinking about.
GOP’s Bread and Butter
Apparently when Gov. Sebelius was running for Governor in Kansas, she accepted donations from a doctor . . . a doctor who performs abortions. You can see why the GOP must hold up Sebelius’ nomination as President Obama’s health secretary. So when you have no ideas and the public is tiring of your Policy of […]

Al Gore Among the Wingnuts — Part 2
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43scwzZ7zto[/youtube] Rep. Joe (Plate Tectonics) Barton gets schooled by Al Gore on how corporations lie. Barton does NOT get the clue that these corporations have just deep-sixed all of his anti-climate change cred. Barton will blame that on paleogeology soon.
Al Gore Among the Wingnuts –Part 1
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMJ3Xow9ZGM[/youtube] Rep. Marsha Blackburn contributes to our understanding of the business of climate change by accusing known socialist — Al Gore — for investing in climate change industries rather than have the state take them over. Or maybe she thinks that the State should take over the means of the production of global warming. Whatever […]
