Media Question of the Evening
Ana Marie Cox wrote this as part of a Spring Cleaning series at the WaPo (institutions that could be thrown out): It’s not that the reporters covering the president are bad at their jobs. Most are experienced journalists at the top of their game — and they’re wasted at the White House, where scoops are […]

Oklahoma Teabagger Arrested for Twitter Threats
Via Wired. Daniel Knight Hayden, 52, was arrested by FBI agents who identified him as the Twitter user CitizenQuasar. In a series of tweets beginning April 11, CitizenQuasar vowed to start a “war” against the government on the steps of the Oklahoma City Capitol building, the site of that city’s version of the national “Tea […]
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 — […]
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 […]
Al Gore and John Warner Testimony on Waxman-Markey — Part 2
This is Senator Warner’s testimony. Video is of his opening remarks only: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVSMawCo8NI[/youtube] Transcript of his complete remarks after the jump. Warner’s take on addressing climate change as a question of national security is interesting and worth thinking about.
Al Gore and John Warner Testimony on Waxman-Markey — Part 1
Yesterday, Vice President Al Gore and Senator John Warner presented bi-partisan testimony in support of the Waxman-Markey bill. Video is of Opening Statements: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY1naT3-RDc[/youtube] Vice President Gore’s complete remarks after the jump.
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 […]
The Sham of the Climate Change Deniers
The NYT Friday writes this must read piece of reporting on how the corporate climate change deniers came to ignore their own internal review panel — who wrote: “The scientific basis for the Greenhouse Effect and the potential impact of human emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 on climate is well established and cannot […]

Pwned!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mFrML6s0hw[/youtube] Underestimate this woman at your peril. And relating this back to my earlier post — she breaks this tired wedge issue completely down and leaves Pence looking like a fool for even trying.
QOTE
Today, Politico wrote a long article detailing how President Obama (and even to some extent the Dem-controlled Congress) has been able to pretty much ignore the usual effort by the GOP to make everything a Dem says or does into the betrayal of the century. In fact, it seems from here that although the usual […]
