Lowering the US carbon footprint

Apparently there's a move to get the U.S.* to lower its "carbon footprint".

How much lower would it be if we sent all illegal aliens back to their native countries?



*which is becoming less "U" every day

40,000 Americans stuck in England?

Too bad they're not Haitian refugees; the Navy would send an aircraft carrier to evacuate them to the US.

Obama's View of Private Industry vs. Government

So, our great socialist president thinks that private industry can do a better job with the space program than NASA can?

Where was this attitude when it came to health care, financial services, the automotive industry, or mortgages?

All it means is that he thinks the space program is a waste of time; otherwise, he'd want another trillion dollars for it--and have it be under the stultifying yoke of Big Brother.

Obama's Stalingrad

One of my favorite weblogs is Power Line; in this post, John Hinderaker refers to the necromancy of the Democratic Party with their foolishness trying to pass health care legislation that the people clearly don't want:

"Now the Democrats are back on health care, sort of like Napoleon returning to Waterloo."

With all due respect to John, a much better historical analogy is Hitler's assault on Stalingrad, where, to the detriment and eventual defeat of his army, he focused on capturing the city bearing Stalin's name, instead of merely bypassing it in the Blitzkrieg tradition. Month after month, Hitler poured precious divisions into the meatgrinder of the city, which Stalin was just as determined to defend--while preparing to counterattack.

Not a pretty sight in 1942, and not pretty in 2010.
